COUNTABLE NOUNS Por ejemplo: (a) car - (un) auto; (a) flower - (una) flor; (an) apple - (una) manzana. Puedes usar esta fórmula: ONE/TWO/THREE + COUNTABLE NOUN (uno/dos/tres... + sustantivo contable). Puedes usarlos de este modo porque los PUEDES CONTAR; puedes contar ONE car, TWO flowers, THREE apples, etc. (UN auto, DOS flores, TRES manzanas, etc..). Los sustantivos contables pueden estar en SINGULAR (= one, uno) o en PLURAL (= two or more, dos o más). Veamos estos ejemplos: SINGULAR: a car, my car, the car, etc. (un auto, mi auto, el auto, etc.) PLURAL: cars, two cars, the cars, some cars, many cars.. (los autos, dos autos, los autos, unos o algunos autos, muchos autos.). OBSERVA AHORA ESTAS CURIOSIDADES GRAMATICALES: Habrás observado tres líneas arriba que cars y the cars se tradujo en ambos casos como los autos. Veamos: a) Cuando te refieres a "los autos" EN GENERAL, es decir a TODOS los automóviles del mundo NO DEBES USAR el artículo definido the: CARS are expensive (LOS AUTOS son caros). Lo mismo ocurre con cualquier otro sustantivo: ELEPHANTS don't fly (LOS ELEFANTES no vuelan); ARGENTINIANS eat too much meat (LOS ARGENTINOS consumen demasiada carne). b) Cuando te refieres a "los autos" EN PARTICULAR (es decir a los automóviles de los cuales estás hablando) DEBES USAR el artículo definido the: He's buying THE CARS (Está comprando LOS AUTOS). Se supone que está comprando los autos acerca de los cuáles nos estuvo hablando en algún momento. ULTIMA OBSERVACION DE ESTE PUNTO: NO DIGAS: I don't have car para significar No tengo auto. DEBES DECIR: I don't have a car.

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS Por ejemplo: water - agua; rain - lluvia; rice - arroz; money - dinero, etc. NO PUEDES USAR la fórmula ONE/TWO/THREE + UNCOUNTABLE NOUN (water/rain/rice, etc.). NO PUEDES DECIR: one water , two rains , etc. LOS SUSTANTIVOS NO CONTABLES TIENEN UNA UNICA FORMA: money, the money, my money, some money, much money, etc. Ejemplos: I have some money (Tengo algún/algo de dinero); There isn't much money here (No hay mucho dinero aquí); Money isn't everything (El dinero no lo es todo). ULTIMA OBSERVACION DE ESTE PUNTO: NO PUEDES USAR LA FORMULA A/AN + UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS: a money (un dinero); a music (una música); etc. PERO EN CAMBIO PUEDES EXPRESARLO DEL SIGUIENTE MODO: a piece of cheese (un trozo de queso); a piece of music (un fragmento de música); a glass of water (un vaso de agua); a bar of chocolate (una barra de chocolate); a game of tennis (un partido de tennis). Es decir mencionando siempre la menor unidad del sustantivo (trozo, fragmento, vaso, barra, partido, etc). Activity 39: Intenta ahora ESCRIBIR en forma correcta estas oraciones en las celdas basándote en las explicaciones.

1. I don't have car. 2. A potatoes aren't expensive. 3. Ann never wears hat. 4. Are you looking for job? 5. Mary doesn't eat a meat. 6. I'm going to party tonight. 7. Do you like a cheese? 8.

Do you usually have tea? Do you ever have tea?

I don't usually have tea. I don't often have tea. I don't ever have tea.

UBICACION DE LOS ADVERBIOS DE FRECUENCIA ... Existen DOS REGLAS BASICAS 1. Si la oración lleva el verbo "TO BE" (am, is, are) el adverbio de frecuencia se coloca DESPUES DEL VERBO. Ejemplos: I'm USUALLY in a hurry (Generalmente estoy apurado); He's NEVER at home (El nunca está en casa); We are OFTEN at school (Estamos a menudo en la escuela). Si la oración es negativa, el adverbo de frecuencia se coloca DESPUES de la partícula not o contracción negativa (isn't, aren't). Ejemplo: I'm not USUALLY in a hurry (Generalmente no estoy apurado). Sin embargo, con otro sentido, el adverbio de frecuencia puede ser utilizado antes de la partícula not. Ejemplo: I'm USUALLY not very pessimistic (Generalmente soy poco pesimista). 2. Si la oración lleva CUALQUIER OTRO VERBO (play, have, watch, etc.) el adverbio de frecuencia se coloca DELANTE DEL VERBO. Ejemplos: They USUALLY have dinner at 8:00 (Ellos cenan usualmente a las ocho); I NEVER play tennis on Saturdays (Nunca juego tennis los sábados); She OFTEN goes to the movies (Ella va a menudo al cine).

Activity 44: Aquí tienes diez oraciones en las cuales deberás ELEGIR LA UBICACIÓN exacta de los adverbios de frecuencia indicados al final de cada una.

Sarah:

Reg. Ext. Indep -MEAY701018-0005

Well, I don't often eat fish for breakfast, but I love to try new things.

1. Why...?: se utliza para hacer preguntas. Para responder debes utilizar because.. 2. On Sundays. Observa que para referirte a todos los domingos debes pluralizar el día de la semana. En cambio, si dices On Sunday (en singular) te refieres al próximo domingo. 3. I LOVE + INFINITE VERB WITH "TO" (Me encanta, Me gusta mucho + VERBO EN INFINITIVO CON "TO"). Esta fórmula se utiliza siempre con el segundo verbo en infinitivo precedido de la preposición to. Ejemplos: I love to play the piano (Me encanta tocar piano); I love to eat mangoes (Me encanta comer mangos); I love to read English newspapers (Me encanta leer periódicos ingleses).

She's good at languages The Hamburger You probably think that the hamburger is a typical American food. Americans often have a hamburger for a quick lunch or snack. But do you know that the favorite American "fast food" actually comes from many different countries? The hamburger is made of beef, not ham. The idea of chopping meat into very small pieces comes from Turkey. The name hamburger comes from the town of Hamburg in Germany. The pickle, or pickled cucumber, comes from Eastern Europe. It is popular in Poland. The word ketchup comes from China. "Ke-tsiap" is the Chinese name for a sauce made of pickled fish and spices. The first recipe for tomato ketchup is in a 1792 American cookbook. Mayonnaise, sometimes called "mayo", is a yellow-white sauce made of eggs, oil, and lemon juice. It comes from the Spanish island of Minorca, but its name is French. Mayonnaise is also used as a dressing for salads. The bun is a kind of bread. It comes from an English recipe, and the sesame seeds on top come from the Middle East. So, the "American" hamburger is a truly international meal.

En inglés existe un grupo de verbos DEFECTIVOS (también llamados MODALES) (Auxiliares)-muy usados en el lenguaje corriente- con el significado de poder, deber, querer. Estos verbos poseen generalmente sólo el presente y el pasado, y presentan algunas características comunes: 1. Su infinitivo NUNCA va precedido de TO como los verbos comunes (to go, to read, to play, etc). 2. En las formas negativa e interrogativa se comportan como el verbo auxiliar to be que ya has aprendido. Instituto de Capacitación para el Trabajo de Quintana Roo – Unidad de Capacitación 168 Chetumal

3. No toman la s en la tercera persona del singular del presente (he, she, it). 4. Siempre les sigue un VERBO EN INFINITIVO SIN TO . EL VERBO DEFECTIVO (auxiliar) ES EL CAN. VEAMOS... CAN significa poder, ser capaz de, saber (tener capacidad física o conocimiento suficiente para hacer algo). Se utiliza tanto para el afirmativo como para el interrogativo y SIN auxiliares: He CAN play tennis (Puede jugar tenis; Es capaz de jugar tenis; Sabe jugar tenis). CAN he play tennis? (¿Puede jugar tenis?; ¿Es capaz de jugar tenis?; ¿Sabe jugar tenis?). CAN'T es la forma contracta o reducida de CANNOT (nunca se escribe separado): He CAN'T play tennis = He CANNOT play tennis (No puede jugar tenis; No es capaz de jugar tenis; No sabe jugar tenis). COLOQUIALMENTE, SON MUY UTILIZADAS LAS FORMAS CORTAS: Yes, she CAN (Sí, puede hacerlo; Sí, es capaz de hacerlo; Sí, sabe hacerlo) No, she CAN'T (No, no puede hacerlo; No, no es capaz de hacerlo; No, no sabe hacerlo) Escucha a estas seis mujeres hablando de lo QUE PUEDEN y NO PUEDEN hacer.

CAN with abilities 2 I can draw. I can fix a car.

I can't sing very well. I can write poetry.

I can play the piano. I can't cook very well. Escucha atentamente la pronunciación de CAN y CAN'T

CAN - CAN'T

I can play the piano, but I can't sing very well. Debido a que la t final de CAN'T no se pronuncia con fuerza, es posible que a veces creas estar escuchando CAN. El audio anterior -repetido varias veces- te ayudará a percibir la sutil diferencia. Como regla general, la pronunciación de CAN'T nunca se reduce mientras que la de CAN suele reducirse en oraciones completas pero no en respuestas cortas.

I can swim

Can I swim?

Yes, I can

Let's go to the pool Helen: Mark: Helen: Mark: Helen: Mark: Helen:

I can Helen y Mark conversan sobre buceo y natación.

It's really hot. Let's go to the pool. OK, but I can't swim very well. Well, I can't, either. I can only swim ten laps. Ten laps? I can't even swim across the pool!! But I can't dive at all. Can you dive? Well, yes, I can. In fact, I can dive quite well. So, let's go. I can teach you how to swim, and you can teach me how to dive.

1. pool = swimming pool ___________________________ 2. either (tampoco). Se lo utiliza como enfatizador en oraciones negativas. 3. even (aún; hasta; ni siquiera). Otro enfatizador utilizado para indicar algo inesperado. 4. at all (para nada; en absoluto). Adverbio utilizado en entornos negativos. 5. in fact = in reality (en realidad; la verdad que). 6. quite well (bastante bien). Quite es un adverbio que modifica la intensidad del adjetivo o segundo adverbio que lo acompaña. Ejemplo: He plays quite well (Juega bastante bien). 7. how + verb infinitive (cómo + verbo en infinitivo): He teaches me how to play soccer (Me enseña cómo jugar fútbol; Me enseña a jugar fútbol).

Sports They're playing basketball. They're playing baseball. They're playing football. They're playing soccer.

They're playing volleyball. She's playing golf. She's playing tennis. He's playing ping-pong.

También se utiliza del mismo modo en preguntas: What are you good at? (¿En qué eres bueno?; ¿En qué te destacas?). 5. GOOD AT + VERB > ING: Es importante recordar esta fórmula. Despues de good at puedes usar un sustantivo (como ya hemos visto) o un verbo. En este caso, el verbo va en gerundio: Ejemplos: She's good at playing tennis (Es buena jugando al tenis); I'm not good at writing Japanese (No soy bueno escribiendo japonés), etc. 6. She's an hour late (Llega una hora tarde; Está atrasada una hora).

As a directory assistance operator, I give out hundreds of telephone numbers every day. I sort of like talking to people all day. I earn around $20,000 a year. But I don't feel very secure - a lot of operators are losing their jobs because of automation. Computers do everything these days. So I'm studying to be a computer programmer at night school.

My clients are all business travelers. I make plane, hotel, and car reservations for them. My annual salary isn't very high - only $24,000 but I like my job. It's pretty secure because travel is a growing field. Also, I often travel in order to learn about cities, hotels, airlines, and tours. And when I do, everything is free - the plane tickets, the hotel rooms, etc.

In my job, I mainly work with athletes who have sports injuries. Sometimes the athletes are famous, and that's always exciting. My salary is good - $38,000 a year - and I always have a lot of patients. Doctors are too busy to do physical therapy these days, and they're happy to give the work to specialists like us.

"My husband is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called kanreki - it's the beginning of a new life. The color red represents a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday. What am I going to give my husband? I can't say. It's a surprise."

"I'm going to be 30 next week. So I'm going to invite three very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out. I know that in some countries it's the opposite - people take you out."

Is it far from here? Secrets of a long life Sadie and Bessie Delany are sisters who live in Mount Vernon, New York. Sadie is 104 years old, and Besie is 102. They tell their life story in a book called "Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First Hundred Years." Here is some of their advice for living a long, healthy life. Get up early. The Delany sisters get up at 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. Levántate temprano. Las hermanas Delany se levantan a las seis y media o siete de la mañana.

Have a good breakfast. The sisters eat oatmeal, half a banana, bran, and eggs with a little cheese. Toma un buen desayuno. Las hermanas comen avena, media banana, salvado y huevos con un poco de queso.

Exercise every day. The Delany sisters like to do yoga. They also walk every day. Haz ejercicio todos los días. A las hermanas Delany les gusta el yoga. También caminan todos los días.

Eat lots of vegetables, specially garlic. Garlic is good for your health, even if it's not good for your breath !! Come muchas verduras, especialmente ajo. El ajo es bueno para tu salud aunque no sea bueno ¡¡para tu aliento!!

BUT . . . PERO . . .

DON'T eat a lot of salt and fat. These things are bad for you. NO comas mucha sal y grasas. Estos elementos son nocivos para tí.

DON'T get married !! The sisters say, "We are still alive because we don't have husbands who worry us." ¡¡NO te cases!! Las hermanas dicen, "Estamos vivas porque no tenemos maridos que nos preocupen."

DON'T listen to the doctor. "Most doctors don't know what to do with us," Sadie says. "When something's wrong they say, 'You're still living, what do you expect?'."

KANGAROOS

CAMELS

Do you know that the kangaroo can't walk at all - but it can travel at 40 miles an hour !! This amazing animal is very good at jumping. It can jump 20 feet at a time. An adult kangaroo is only five feet tall, but it can jump over a car.

The camel can live without water for one week. It can walk over 200 miles in the desert without drinking water. It can do this because it has three stomachs that hold water. And the hump on its back holds fat, so the camel can live without food for a long time, too.

CHIMPANZEES The chimpanzee is a very intelligent animal that is good at learning language. A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language, but it can't always use correct grammar. For example, a chimpanzee can use sign language to say, "Me want banana now," but not, "I want a banana now, please."

La columna 3 corresponde al participio pasado que verás hacia el final de este curso. 2. Los verbos en inglés tienen DOS tipos de pasados: IRREGULARES y REGULARES. Veamos ... VERBOS IRREGULARES Son aquellos que varían parcial o totalmente la forma infinitiva al transformarse en pasado (ver columna 2 del Cuadro Verbal). VERBOS REGULARES Son aquellos que agregan -d o -ed a la forma infinitiva al transformarse en pasado (ver columna 2 del Cuadro Verbal, terminaciones en color rojo).

Pasado Simple 2

El tiempo Pasado Simple (también denominado Indefinido) se utiliza para expresar acciones que comenzaron y terminaron en el pasado. Observa que este tiempo verbal utiliza el auxiliar DID (pasado del verbo to do) tanto para la forma negativa como para la interrogativa. La contracción negativa (o forma corta negativa) es DIDN'T (did not). La fórmula matemática de abajo te ayudará a comprenderlo mejor. Las columnas 1, 2 y 3 pertenecen al Cuadro Verbal pero para el Pasado Simple o Indefinido utilizarás UNICAMENTE la columna 2:

Why did you become a hairdresser? Visiting New York Start your tour at the Empire State Building, on Fifth Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets. This building has 102 floors. Take the elevator to the 102nd floor for a great view of New York City. Now walk seven blocks up Fifth Avenue to the New York Public Library. The entrance is between 40th and 42nd Streets. This library holds over 10 million books. Behind the library is Bryant Park. In the summer, there's an outdoor café, and at lunch hour, there are free music concerts.

Walk up Sixth Avenue to 49th Street. You're standing in the middle of the 19 buildings of the Rockefeller Center. Turn right on 49th Street, walk another block, and turn left. You're in Rockefeller Plaza. In the winter, there's a rink where you can ice-skate.

Right across from Rockefeller Center on Fifth Avenue is St. Patrick's Cathedral. It's modeled after the cathedral in Cologne, Germany. Go inside the cathedral and leave the noisy city behind. Look at the beautiful blue windows. Many of these windows come from France.

There was - There were

THERE IS y THERE ARE que estudiaste en la Unidad 9,

VEAMOS AHORA EL PASADO DE THERE IS Y THERE ARE .... 1. La expresión invariable española HABÍA o HUBO se traduce en inglés por dos expresiones distintas: THERE WAS para el singular y THERE WERE para el plural. Ejemplos: There was a book on the table (Había un libro sobre la mesa); There were two books on the table (Había dos libros sobre la mesa). 2. THERE WAS y THERE WERE con el significado de HAY se usan siempre al principio de la oración; por ese motivo se lo llama gramaticalmente el there "introductivo". Mientras en castellano puedes decir indistintamente Había tres dormitorios en la casa o En la casa había tres dormitorios, en inglés debes decir siempre There were three bedrooms in the house. 3. ¡ATENCION! No confundas el there introductivo con there (allí), opuesto a here (aquí). Incluso puede ocurrrir que en una misma frase se encuentren ambos there: Ejemplo: There were some trees there (Había algunos árboles allí). 4. Las formas interrogativas son: WAS THERE? y WERE THERE? (¿HABÍA?). Ejemplos: Was there a book on the table? (¿Había un libro sobre la mesa?); Were there two books on the table? (¿Había dos libros sobre la mesa?). 5. Las formas negativas son: THERE WASN'T y THERE WEREN'T (NO HABÍA). Ejemplos: There wasn't a book on the table (No había un libro sobre la mesa); There weren't two books on the table (No había dos libros sobre la mesa).

Chuck y su clienta Melissa conversan sobre sus países de origen y estudios. El diálogo está abierto en dos partes.

Were you born in the U.S., Melissa? No, I wasn't. I came here in 1992. How old were you? I was seventeen. So, did you go to college right away? No, because my English wasn't very good. I studied English for two years first. Wow, your English is really fluent now. Thanks. Your English is pretty good, too. Yeah, but I was born here. How about you, Chuck? Where did you grow up? Well, I was born in Ohio, but I grew up in Texas. And when did you come to Los Angeles? In 1978. I went to college here. Oh. What was your major? Drama. I was an actor for five years after college. That's interesting. So why did you become a hairdresser? Because I needed the money. And because I was good at it. Look. What do you think?

1. How old were you? = What was your age? (¿Cuántos años tenías? = ¿Cuál era tu edad?). 2. college = university (universidad). 3. right away = immediately (de inmediato; enseguida). 4. for two years = during a two-year period (durante dos años). 5. fluent = smooth-spoken. Se aplica para quienes hablan un idioma sin tropiezos (como te va a pasar a tí... ya verás !!!). 6. pretty good (muy bien; perfectamente). Pretty normalmente significa bonito/a pero aquí cumple la función de un adverbio e intensifica el sentido del adjetivo o adverbio. Los americanos dicen pretty good mientras que los ingleses prefieren very good o very well. 7. I was born (Nací) - I grew up (Me crié). Recuerda ambos verbos y no los confundas.

Maybe I'll catch up on my reading Weekend short story A short history of the weekend What did you do last weekend? You probably relaxed and didn't think about work for two days. But people didn't always have two-day weekends. Where does the weekend come from? 2000 B.C. - 1800 A.D. Many people spent one day a week on religion. This was called a "holy day" in England, and the English word holiday comes from this expression. On this day people rested and prayed.

1800 – 1840 Sunday was the "holy" day. But many workers used this day to play games and have fun. And then they didn't go to work on Monday morning because they felt too tired. In the U.S., workers called these days "blue Mondays."

1874 In England, Saturday afternoon became a holiday. Work stopped at one o'clock. This was the beginning of the weekend in England. Around 1900 in the U.S., workers began to take off Saturday afternoons in the summer. Then, by 1930, most offices were closed on Saturday afternoons all year. 1940 Offices and factories were closed all day Saturday, and the two-day weekend began in the U.S. What did people do on those first weekends? They went to the theater or the movies. They took the train and visited their friends. They took walks in the park. They relaxed and had fun. Activity 75: Este es un ejercicio de lecto-comprensión .

Simple Present Perfect 2 1. El tiempo Presente Perfecto Simple se utiliza para expresar acciones que comenzaron en el pasado y continúan en el presente. En cambio, para acciones que se INICIARON Y TERMINARON en el pasado debes utilizar el Pasado Simple o Indefinido. Ejemplos: I studied English in 1970 Estudié inglés en 1970 ... y no continué estudiando I have studied English for 10 years He estudiado inglés durante 10 años... y continúo estudiando 2. Se forma con el VERBO "TO HAVE" + PARTICIPIO PASADO (columna 3) DEL VERBO PRINCIPAL. 3. Observa que este tiempo verbal utiliza el auxiliar HAVE para las tres formas (afirmativa, negativa e interrogativa). Las contracciones negativas (o formas cortas negativas) del verbo auxiliar son HASN'T (has not) para he, she, it y HAVEN'T (have not) para las restantes personas. La fórmula matemática de abajo te ayudará a comprenderlo mejor. Las columnas 1, 2 y 3 pertenecen al Cuadro Verbal pero para el Presente Perfecto Simple utilizarás UNICAMENTE la columna 3:

Let's make a reservation. 1. to enjoy (disfrutar). Después de este verbo puedes colocar un sustantivo (I enjoy Canadian movies; Disfruto las películas canadienses) u otro verbo. En este caso, el verbo deberá ir EN GERUNDIO (I enjoy going to the movies; Disfruto ir al cine). 2. Would you like to + VERB? (¿Te gustaría + VERBO?). Expresión coloquial utilizada para invitaciones u ofrecimientos. 3. something (algo, alguna cosa). Utilizado en oraciones afirmativas.

(¿______________________?). b) Para pedir cosas puede utilizarse some en interrogativo: Can I have some coffee, please? (¿_________________?); Can you lend me some money? (¿Puedes prestarme algo de dinero?). 4. Have you been to...? (¿Has estado en...?; ¿Has ido a...?). 5. yet - already (aún - ya). Estos adverbios tienen un uso particular dentro de la oración. ALREADY se utiliza en oraciones afirmativas e interrogativas mientras que YET se utiliza en oraciones interrogativas y negativas. 6. twice (dos veces). Este adverbio significa two times y se pronuncia tuáis. Para decir una vez debes usar once (uáns). ¿Recuerdas aquello de Once Upon a Time..., Había Una Vez...?, no muy utilizado, thrice (zráis) significa tres veces. 7. in a long time = for a long time (durante mucho tiempo).
