Present Simple & Present Continuous

  

En general, en inglés para formar frases usamos:

- En afirmativa:         Sujeto + verbo


- En negativa:            Sujeto + auxiliar + not  + verbo
                                                    se suele
                                                    contraer
                                                  (auxiliarn't)


- En interrogativa:    Auxiliar + sujeto + verbo?



- En respuesta cortas:    Yes, sujeto + auxiliar.   /   No, sujeto + auxiliarn't.

   OJO: en las respuestas cortas el sujeto solo puede ser un pronombre personal (I, You, He, She, It, We, They)


    Es importante saber el orden de las distintas partes de la oración y el auxiliar de cada tiempo (es la palabra que me permite formar la negativa, la interrogativa y las respuestas cortas y que depende del tiempo verbal).

  Estos cuadros resumen el Present Simple y el Present Continuous que vimos el trimestre anterior.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

 Sing this Christmas carol:

 


You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"





Let it Snow

 Learn this Christmas carol:




Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've got no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh the fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
