Observaciones:
Recuerden que en ingles siempre deben poner el Sujeto. En una oracin positiva
o negativa debern seguir la formula (SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENT)
en donde el complement es opcional.
Ejemplo :
- Es bonita
- Is pretty (INCORRECTO) > No hay sujeto y en el ingles es necesario
- She is pretty (Correcto)
No se enamoren del verbo to be. Solo quiere decir ser o estar. Algunos creen que
siempre lo deben poner pero depende de que accin haga el sujeto.
Ejemplo
- Juega futbol.
- He is play futbol (ERROR) > el sujeto no hace 2 acciones a la vez.
- He plays football (CORRECTO)
Es decir, el sujeto puede hacer distintas acciones y el verbo to be solo es para expresar
acciones de ser o estar. En otras lecciones aprenderemos como hacer oraciones con otros
verbos
