gramatical: its table, su mesa (la de esa casa); its leaves, sus hojas (las de ese árbol);its

legs, sus patas (las de ese perro); its wheels, sus ruedas (las de ese auto).

2. En inglés se usa el posesivo en vez del artículo delante de sustantivos de partes del

book (Perdí el libro).

GENITIVO SAJÓN

This is Pepe / Este es

Pepe

This is Pepe's Bar / Este es el Bar de

Pepe

En inglés, el genitivo (relación de propiedad o posesión) se forma de dos maneras:

1. Mediante la preposición of, (de), que se usa normalmente cuando el poseedor no es

una persona:

The window of the house (La ventana de la casa)

2. Cuando el poseedor es una persona, se emplea una forma particular, que se conoce

como genitivo sajón (por su origen). Al nombre del poseedor, se añade un apóstrofo y

una s ('s) y figura en la frase delante del nombre de la cosa poseída:

My brother's car (El coche de mi hermano)        John's dog (El perro de John)

También se emplea con nombres de animales, nombres de países, ciertas expresiones

de tiempo, espacio, distancia, peso, etc..

The cat's ears (Las orejas del gato)        France's cities (las ciudades de Francia)

Yesterday's meeting (La reunión de ayer)    A mile's walk (Un paseo de una milla)

REGLAS DE LA 'S DEL GENITIVO SAJÓN 

1.Cuando el poseedor es solo uno, el orden de la frase es:

8

Page 9: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

 Poseedor

Apóstrofo + S

La cosa poseída

 Paul's heart (El corazón de Pablo)

Cuando el nombre termina en s, se añade otra s

Charles's bicycle (La bicicleta de Carlos)

2. Si los poseedores son varios, el orden de la frase es:

Los poseedores (plural) 

Apóstrofo

La cosa poseída

My brothers' clock (El reloj de mis hermanos)

(Cuando el nombre en plural no termina en s se aplica la misma norma que para un solo

poseedor):

The women's books (Los libros de las mujeres)

Cuando detallamos nombrando a los distintos poseedores, solamente el último refiere el

genitivo:

That is John, Jim and Paul's flat (Ese es el piso de John, Jim y Paul)

¡Cuidado!. Fíjate en la diferencia:

John and Ann's cars   Los coches son de ambos

John's and Ann's cars   Cada uno tiene su propio coche

Combinado con of puede servir para distinguir el sentido de propiedad

A photo of Peter's (Una foto de Pedro, la foto es de su propiedad)

A photo of Peter (Una foto de Pedro, de su persona)

TEMA 4: LOS artículos definidos e indefinidos.

Teoría:

El artículo definido e indefinido

Los artículos, igual que los relativos vistos en la lección anterior, acompañan a

sustantivos. En este caso, tenemos dos clases de artículos: el determinado y el

indeterminado; según si especificamos una persona, animal o cosa en concreto o no.

Sería conveniente que pudieses consultar algún manual sobre gramática

española, concretamente el tema de los artículos. De esta manera, aunque sea un

manual de español, se facilita en el estudio del inglés, y como consecuencia se aprende

más rápido.

A continuación se presenta una tabla en donde se muestran los artículos:

Artículo Inglés Español

indefinido

a

un / una

an

definido theel / la

los / las

Como muestra la tabla, los artículos no distinguen entre masculino y

femenino (género),tampoco lo hacen en cuanto a singular o plural (número). Se

puede ver también que para el indefinido hay dos partículas, veremos enseguida porqué.

18

Page 19: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

El artículo indefinido

Este artículo se usa delante de nombres contables, siempre que aparezcan en

singular, si el nombre va en plural no se usa artículo. Veamos algunas frases:

I have a ball. -> Yo tengo una pelota.

She is with a man. -> Ella está con un hombre.

La existencia de dos partículas para un mismo artículo indefinido tiene un porqué. La

partícula a se utiliza delante de consonantes, y de vocales que se pronuncian como

un diptongo.

a pencil -> un lápiz       a table -> una mesa

La partícula an se utiliza delante de vocales (sonidos vocálicos), o de una h que no

se pronuncie (muda). A continuación un par de ejemplos:

an orange -> una naranja        an hour -> una hora

El artículo indifinido se usa también en algunas expresiones de frecuencia, velocidad o

precio.

sixty kilometres an hour -> sesenta kilómetros por hora

five times a week -> cinco veces a la semana

El plural de a o an es some:

Some cats (Unos gatos)

Some oceans (Unos océanos)

Some se usa también para sustantivos incontables: some milk (leche, un poco de

leche).

En negativa y en interrogativa se emplea any en vez de some:

19

Page 20: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

There wasn't any milk. (No había leche o nada de leche.)

Has she sent you any photos? (¿Te ha enviado fotos, alguna foto?)

Sin embargo, en los casos siguientes empleamos some en las interrogativas: en

peticiones, en ofrecimientos o cuando esperamos una respuesta afirmativa.

Would you like some coffee? (¿Quieres café, un poco de café?)

Is there some ham in the fridge, mum? I'm very hungry. (¿Hay jamón de York en la

nevera, mamá? Tengo mucha hambre. -->El hablante le está pidiendo a su madre de

una forma indirecta jamón, y espera que ella le diga que sí.)

El artículo definido

Se utiliza delante de sustantivos para especificar la persona, animal o cosa a la que

nos referimos. Puede acompañar al nombre en singular o en plural. También se

utiliza con sustantivos que ya se han mencionado.

The moon is bright. -> La luna es brillante. (sólo hay una luna)

He live in my house, the house is comfortable. -> Él vive en mi casa, la casa es cómoda.

El artículo definido también se emplea cuando nos referimos a una familia por su

apellido (the Smiths), también ante ríos (the Nile), mares, montañas; y en definitiva con

los demás accidentes geográficos.

También lo utilizamos a la hora de nombrar un determinada instrumento musical,

por ejemplo: the piano, the guitar o the flute. Cabe decir que los deportes no llevan

artículo alguno.

Cuando nombramos edificios destinados al servicio público, como puede ser un

supermercado o un hospital, utilizamos el artículo definido cuando vamos a esos

edificios por un motivo distinto al que están destinados.

The parents go to the school to meet with theirs childrens. -> Los padres van

20

Page 21: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

a la escuela a encontrarse con sus hijos.

En la oración anterior, los padres no van a la escuela con el propósito para el que fueron

concebidas, que es el de estudiar. Por ese motivo se pone el artículo definido al

sustantivo. Si hubiesen ido para estudiar, no se pondría el artículo.

Ejercicios:

1) Escribe la forma correcta del artículo indefinido en cada frase.

1 Douglas is student.

2 Frances works in office.

3 apple is a type of fruit.

4 MyProfe is fantastic webpage.

5 Madrid is European capital.

La única dificultad escriba, como de costumbre, en la 3ª persona del singular; de

hecho, esta 3ª persona es especial a la hora de conjugar verbos. Como regla general

se añade s, aunque veremos que existen algunas excepciones.

Usos del presente simple

Este tiempo verbal se utiliza para expresar hechos o verdades generales.

The Sun warms the atmosphere. -> El Sol calienta la armósfera.

También usamos el presente simple para hablar de hábitos; en este caso, en la

oración suele aparecer expresiones de frecuencia, como usually o always.

We play tennis usually. -> Nosotros jugamos al tenis ocasionalmente.

You study always. -> Vosotros estudiais siempre.

Tambien lo usamos para expresar horarior o programas (como el programa de un

espectáculo teatral).

The train leaves in an hour. -> El tren llega en una hora.

Reglas ortográficas para la 3ª persona del singular

Como regla general, a la forma verbal de la 3ª persona del singular se le añade s; no

obstante,existen unas cuantas reglas para una serie de formas verbales que son

especiales:

1.- Cuando el verbo acaba ya en s, o en un sonido parecido como sh, ch o x:

watch -> watches (mirar)         dash -> dashes (arrojar)

2.- Cuando el verbo acaba en o, también se añade es:

go -> goes (ir)        do -> does (hacer)

26

Page 27: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

3.- Cuando el verbo acaba en y, y a ésta le precede una consonante, tenemos que

cambiar lay por i, para a continuación añadir es:

fly -> flies (volar)         study -> studies (estudiar)

Observa que estas reglas ortográficas son las mismas que se aplican para formar

el plural. También son las que se usan para formar otros tiempos verbales, por lo que

una vez que las aprendas tendrás mucho ganado.

Teoría:

Frequency adverbs

(fricuenci adverbs)

Rarely (rrerli) (rara vez)... 20%.

Never (never) (nunca)... 0%.

42

Page 43: Miguel cuaderno

Santi’s car stopped outside the restaurant at 10pm. 

He was still wearing his work clothes which were (still) dirty from a long day in the fish

factory.

He opened the door and didn’t  look at me as he stood net to our table.

It took  a long time for someone to speak. I  couldn’t believe

he had found us. “Have you had to eat?” he asked David.

I saw panic in David’s eyes. He is   lost for words, but now he just sat there

.  Santi   took David’s napkin   

and   threw it   on the floor,  .

“I’d like to speak to you  David.” said Santi. I felt  relieved as

both men left the restaurant and people around me started speaking again.

I was  worried and I felt  guilty when I had seen the pain

in Santi’s eyes.

,  . “About four months,” replied David. “ Look Santi, I  had any

intention….” “Shut up! Don’t you think you’ve done  damage?” cried Santi,

causing late-night shoppers to look  at the two men .

David was  surprised when Santi hit him. He didn’t think Santi would use

violence. He  thought that Santi might   walk away and say

nothing.   When Maria  left the restaurant  , she saw

David on the floor. Blood was running  from his nose and onto his white shirt. 

Santi was   standing there, his body shaking with anger.

Almost  I took Santi’s hand and pulled him away.

TEMA 9: el presente continuo en su forma afirmativa, negativa

e interrogativa.                   

Teoría:

Esta lección de inglés está dedicada al presente continuo, tiempo verbal

que expresa acciones del presente pero con ciertos matices que lo

diferencian del presente simple.

Antes de ver como se usa el presente continuo, vamos a ver como se

forma. Posteriormente veremos como negar este tiempo verbal y como

formar preguntas con el mismo.

A continuación presentamos una tabla en donde se muestra la conjugación

del presente continuo. A partir de esta tabla veremos como se forma este tiempo verbal.

Conjugación Inglés Español

56

Page 57: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

1ª per. singular I am talking yo estoy hablando

2ª per. singular you are talking tú estás hablando

3ª per. singular

he is talking

she is talking

It is talking

él está hablando

ella está hablando

(para objetos)

1ª per. plural we are talkingnosotros/as

estamos hablando

2ª per. plural you are talkingvosotros/as estais

hablando

3ª per. plural they are talkingellos/as están

hablando

Como ves, para formar el presente continuo utilizamos el verbo to be como

auxiliar, y el verbo principal en gerundio. Lo importante es saber construir el

gerundio, y una vez hecho esto, intercalar el verbo to be para utilizarlo como

auxiliar.

Uso del presente continuo

Este tiempo verbal podemos usarlo para expresar distintas cosas; y en

diferentes circunstancias:

1. Para referirnos a acciones que se están desarrollando en el mismo

momento en el que se habla.

I am reading a book -> Yo estoy leyendo un libro (en este preciso

instante)

2. Tambien utilizamos el presente continuo para describir cosas que

suceden alrededor del momento al que estamos hablando.

57

Page 58: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

She is studying English -> Ella está esstudiando inglés (no

precisamente ahora)

3. Podemos usar el presente continuo para referirnos a acciones que se

vienen produciendo con cierta frecuenca.

You are always working -> Estás siempre trabajando (lo hace

frecuentemente)

4. Cuando hablamos de una acción del futuro que ya hemos decidido

que vamos a desarrollar. En este caso debemos mencionar el

tiempo en el que vamos a desarrollar dicha acción.

I am going to Madrid next week -> Voy a Madrid la semana que biene

Negación e interrogación del presente continuo

Para negar el presente continuo tenemos que colocar la partícula not entre

el auxiliar y el verbo principal. Para hacer preguntas tenemos que poner

primero el auxiliar y después el pronombre personal.

I am not eating now -> Yo no estoy comiendo ahora

Are you eating? -> ¿Estás comiendo?

TEMA 10: EL Pasado SIMPLE DE cualquier VERBO EN SU

FORMA AFIRMATIVA, NEGATIVA E INTERROGATIVA

Teoría:

e utiliza para referirse a acciones que se desarrollaron en el pasado y que hace

ya algún tiempo que finalizaron. Su equivalente en castellano es el pretérito

indefinido:

I studied English.    Yo estudié inglés (fue una actividad que realicé en el

pasado y que ya finalizó)

I bought a car.    Yo compré un coche

En estas oraciones no se da información sobre el presente:

I lost my job.    Yo perdí mi trabajo (puede que en la actualidad lo haya vuelto a

recuperar)

I bought a car.    Yo compré un coche (en la actualidad puede que ya no tenga

el coche, que lo haya vendido)

Con frecuencia se indica el periodo de tiempo en el que se desarrolló la acción:

I played tennis yesterday.    Yo jugué al tenis ayer.

I went to Paris last summer.    Yo fui a París el verano pasado

64

Page 65: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

La estructura de la frase es similar a la del presente, utilizando el verbo

principal en su forma pasada.

She listens to music.    Ella escucha música (presente)

She listened to music.    Ella escuchó música (pasado)

En las formas negativas e interrogativas se emplea, asimismo, una estructura

similar: se utiliza el verbo auxiliar "to do" en su tiempo pasado, que acompaña

al verbo principal en su forma infinitiva:

I didn't go to the party.    Yo no fui a la fiesta

Did you go to the party    Fuiste tú a la fiesta

En la formación del tiempo pasado hay que distinguir entre verbos regulares e

irregulares: los verbos regulares forman el tiempo pasado añadiendo "-ed" a la

forma infinitiva, mientras que los irregulares no siguen un patrón determinado,

hay que estudiarlos individualmente (ver décima clase).

Verbo regular    "To listen": forma pasada "listened".

Verbo irregular    "To go": forma pasada "went"

La forma pasada de los verbos es única para todas las personas, no hay una

forma distinta para la 3era persona del singular como ocurría en el presente.

I / you / he / she / we / they "listened"

I / you / he / she / we / they "went"

Forma Pasada de los Verbos Regulares       

Se forma añadiendo "-ed" al infinitivo:  Infinitivo    Forma pasada

To need (necesitar)    needed

To listen (escuchar)    listened

Si el infinitivo del verbo termina en "e", entonces tan sólo se le añade una "d":

Infinitivo    Forma pasada

To love (amar)    loved

To bribe (sobornar)    bribed

65

Page 66: Miguel cuaderno

English 1º ESO

Si el infinitivo del verbo termina en "y", tras consonante, entonces esta letra "y"

se transforma en "i" y se le añade "-ed".

Infinitivo    Forma pasada

To carry (llevar)    carried

To study (estudiar)    studied

Si el infinitivo del verbo está formado por una sola sílaba, con una sola vocal y

termina en consonante, entonces esta consonante se dobla:

Infinitivo    Forma pasada

To stop (parar)    stopped

To ban (prohibir)    banned

También se dobla la última consonante de aquellos verbos de dos o más

silabas, cuyo acento recae en la última sílaba, y ésta contiene una sola vocal y

finaliza en una sola consonante:

Infinitivo    Forma pasada

To admit (admitir)    admitted

To prefer(preferir)    preferred

Por último, se dobla también la última consonante de aquellos verbos cuyo

infinitivo termina por "l", tras una única vocal:

Infinitivo    Forma pasada

To signal (señalar)    signalled

To cancel (cancelar)    cancelled

Ejercicios:

1) Completa cada frase con el pasado simple de uno de los verbos del

recuadro.
