The Simple Present tense

Negative form

The structure of the negative structure is formed by adding the auxiliaries do or does plus the negation not

Do + not > dont

Does + not > doesnt

These auxiliaries are used TO HELP you. When you use the auxiliary the verb is always in its simple.

Remember:
In positive we had 2 conjugations for every verb (not to be)
- play/plays , work/works, study/studies, watch/watches, etc

The conjugation is simple: HE / SHE / IT - with the s form and I / WE / YOU / THEY - simple form

Examples:
My brother works for IBM.
My parents live in Paris.

IN THE NEGATIVE FORM THE AUXILIARY CHANGES FORM AND NOT THE VERB.

He / she / it + doesnt + verb (simple form)

I / We / You / They + dont + verb (simple form)

Figura #1:

Question form
The question structure is formed by following the following structure

Question word + [do / does + SUBJECT + Verb (simple form)] + Complement

We use the auxiliaries do and does in the question form and they have to agree with the subject
The conjugation is the following:
Does > he/she/it
Do -> I/we/you/they

The verb ALWAYS stays in the simple form (not with the s form)

Short Answers
Las respuestas cortas son con los auxiliares do y does con la forma positiva y dont y doesnt con la forma
negativa. La respuesta corta se refiere a cuando responde solo si o no.

Do you study English for free in Ingles Total? -> Yes, I do

Yes, (I, you, we, you, they) do. No, ( (I, you, we, you, they) dont.

Yes, (he, she,it does)- No, (he, she, it )doesnt

Lets Practice
Conclusion:

The auxiliaries appear in the negative and question form with the verbs that are not to be.

Example:
(+) Juan plays soccer.
(-) He doesnt play soccer.
(?) Does he play soccer?

*VERB TO BE (NO AUXILIARIES!!!)

(+) She is a teacher
(-) She isnt a teacher.
(?) Is she a teacher?

Should and Shouldn't - Use

We use should and shouldn't to give advice or to talk about what we think is right
or wrong.

You should means something like I think it is a good idea for you to do it.

You shouldn't means something like I think it is a bad idea for you to do it.

Should is used to express the opinion of a speaker and often follows I think or I
don't think.

Examples

You look tired. I think you should take a few days off.

Alice works very long hours. She should to talk to her boss.

- I have an English test tomorrow.

- I shouldn't worry if I were you. You have worked really hard.

- I never have enough money.

- I don't think you should go out so much.

Should - Quick Grammar Note

To give advice to someone you can also say:

I should do it if I were you.

I shouldn't be so rude, if I were you.

When you regret not doing something in the past, you can say:

I shouldn't have spoken to him like that.

I should have apologized earlier.

Should is a modal verb like can or must.

List of Comparatives and Superlatives

Adjetivo Comparativo Superlativo Espaol

angry angrier angriest enfadado, enojado
bad worse worst malo
big bigger biggest grande
bitter bitterer bitterest amargo, resentido, agrio
black blacker blackest negro
bland blander blandest soso
cold colder coldest fro
cool cooler coolest fresco
crazy crazier craziest loco
Al igual que en espaol, en ingls cuando queremos comparar dos cosas utilizamos los adjetivos y sus
distintos grados: positivo, comparativo y superlativo.

- El grado positivo refiere la forma ms simple:

A sunny day / Un da soleado

- El grado comparativo refiere una cualidad mayor de una cosa respecto de otra.

A better day / Un da mejor

- El grado superlativo refiere la cualidad en su mayor expresin:

Today is the best day of the year / Hoy es el mejor da del ao

CLASES DE COMPARACIN
-COMPARATIVO DE IGUALDAD

Se forma con el adjetivo intercalado entre la construccin "as...as" (tan...como) para frases
afirmativas e interrogativas y "not as...as" o "not so...as" para las frases negativas.

I'm as young as you / soy tan joven como t

am I as young as you? / soy tan joven como t?
I'm not so young as you / no soy tan joven como t

Podemos emplear tras el segundo 'as' el pronombre en caso nominativo o acusativo (He, his; She,
her...)

He is as young as she; He is as young as her / l es tan joven como ella

Si se trata de una comparacin entre dos verbos, podemos usar la expresin "as much as" (tanto
como) tambin en forma negativa

She does not work as much as she should / Ella no trabaja tanto como debera

Cuando la comparacin se hace entre dos sustantivos se utiliza "as much as" para el singular y "as
many as" para el plural.

I have as much work as my boss / Tengo tanto trabajo como mi jefe

I have as many pencils as you / Tengo tantos lpices como t

Si estamos comparando dos sustantivos contables (libros, coches, casas...) utilizaremos "as many...
as", pero si estamos comparando dos sustantivos incontables (madera, tiempo, msica...) usaremos la
construccin "as much...as".

We have as many books as them / Tenemos tantos libros como ellos

We have as much space as them / Tenemos tanto espacio como ellos

- COMPARATIVO DE INFERIORIDAD

Se forma con el adjetivo intercalado entre la construccin "less...than" (menos...que), aunque es ms

usual encontrar la comparacin de igualdad en forma negativa (que tiene el mismo significado).

He's less young than you / l es menos joven que t

He's not as young as you / l no es tan joven como t (ms usual)

Normalmente se emplea less para incontables y fewer para contables

- COMPARATIVO DE SUPERIORIDAD

Se forma de dos modos:

Aadiendo al adjetivo el sufijo -er para el comparativo de superioridad y -est para el superlativo.

= + er + est

big (grande) bigger (ms grande) biggest (el ms grande)

Anteponiendo la palabra more (ms) para el comparativo de superioridad y "the most" para el
superlativo

intelligent / inteligente
more intelligent / ms inteligente
the most intelligent / el ms inteligente

Los adjetivos de una sola slaba forman el comparativo y el superlativo con -er y -est

old, older, the oldest / viejo

new, newer, the newest / nuevo
dark, darker, the darkest / oscuro

Los de dos slabas que terminan en er, y, le y ow y los que tienen el acento (prosdico) en la ltima
slaba forman tambin el comparativo y el superlativo con -er y -est

clever, cleverer, the cleverest / listo

idle, idler, the idlest / perezoso
happy, happier, the happiest / feliz
narrow, narrower, the narrowest / estrecho

El resto de adjetivos de dos slabas y todos los de tres o ms forman el comparativo con more y el
superlativo con most.

interesting, more interesting, the most interesting / interesante

COMPARATIVOS Y SUPERLATIVOS IRREGULARES

Algunos adjetivos forman el comparativo de manera irregular

good, better, the best / bueno, mejor, el mejor

bad, worse, the worst / malo, peor, el peor
far, further, the furthest / lejano, ms lejano, el ms lejano
CONSIDERACIONES

- Cuando un adjetivo termina en e solamente aade -r y -st para el comparativo y superlativo.

large, larger, the largest / grande, ms grande, el ms grande

- Cuando terminan en consonante + y cambian la y por i

easy, easier, the easiest / fcil

- Si termina en una sola consonante prededida de una sola vocal, duplica la consonante

big, bigger, the biggest / grande

- El segundo trmino de la comparacin utiliza la forma than que corresponde al que espaol.

He is taller than his brother / l es ms alto que su hermano

- Cuando la comparacin se realiza entre dos adjetivos se usa more.

She is more funny than happy / Ella es ms alegre que feliz

- La expresin espaola "cada vez ms" equivale en ingls a los dos comparativos del adjetivo.

The film is becoming more and more interesting / La pelcula se vuelve cada vez ms interesante

4.- Tiempo pasado simple en sus 3 formas: afirmativa, negativa (uso de didt) e
interrogativo (uso del auxiliar did).

Pasado Simple (Simple Past Tense)

El Pasado Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones que han sucedido en un tiempo
anterior y que ya han finalizado, por ejemplo:

She cleaned her house. Ella limpi su casa.

I broke the window. Yo romp la ventana.

Aqu vemos su conjugacin que en el espaol equivale al Pretrito Indefinido. Observa que la estructura de la
oracin es similar a la del Presente Simple:
Tanto en la forma interrogativa como en negativa se utiliza como auxiliar DID que es la forma pasada del verbo
TO DO y acompaa al verbo principal en su forma infinitiva. En las negaciones puede utilizarse la forma
contrada de DID NOT o sea DIDNT. En el cuadro superior se emplea el verbo To Play (Jugar) a modo de
ejemplo.

Al expresar una oracin en Pasado Simple se entiende que la accin no guarda relacin con el presente, como
vemos en los siguientes casos:

He lost the keys. l perdi las llaves.

(Puede que en el presente las haya encontrado).She lent me a book. Ella me prest un libro.
(Puede que ya se lo haya devuelto).

Tambin es posible indicar el momento en que se desarrolla la accin para indicar el tiempo con mayor
precisin:
They saw the movie last night. Ellos vieron la pelcula anoche.
We went to London yesterday. Nosotros fuimos a Londres ayer.
Verbos Regulares
En el siguiente cuadro te ofrecemos algunos de los verbos regulares del idioma ingls ms utilizados
con su conjugacin en Pasado Simple que como ya hemos explicado se forma aadindole la
terminacin ED al infinitivo.
Verbos Irregulares

En el siguiente cuadro les ofrecemos algunos de los verbos irregulares del idioma ingls utilizados con
ms frecuencia. Se denominan irregulares porque no siguen una regla determinada para construir su
pasado por lo que deben estudiarse de memoria. Veremos que en la columna central se encuentra el
infinitivo y el presente, ambos tienen la misma forma salvo que el infinitivo va precedido por la
partcula TO.

6.- VERBOS EN PARTICIPIO PASADO

Podemos decir que el "participio pasado" es una "forma del verbo" que va acompaada de otro verbo
(un verbo auxiliar) para formar un "tiempo verbal compuesto".

En espaol el participio se forma con las terminaciones "ado/ada" o "ido/ida". Tambin existen formas
irregulares como "visto" o "hecho".

Se llaman "past participles" a los verbos que acaban en -ed o, en el caso, de los verbos irregulares los
que aparecen en la tercera columna. Son el equivalente en espaol a los verbos terminados en -ado-
ido y algunas formas irregulares como visto, dicho, etc

Algunos ejemplos:

Yo he caminado ("caminado" es el participio del verbo "caminar")

Yo he dormido bien ("dormido" es el participio del verbo "dormir")
La casa fue construida en 1990("construida" es el participio del verbo "construir")

Yo he visto la pelcula ("visto" es el participio del verbo "ver". En este caso fjate que en espaol es
irregular porque no termina en "ado" ni en "ido")

Si te fijas bien, en estos ejemplos aparece un verbo auxiliar. En espaol esos verbos auxiliares son
"ser/estar" o "haber".
En ingls esos verbos auxiliares son el verbo "to be" (ser/estar) y el verbo "have" (haber).

En ingls el "past participle" es:

1) Para los verbos irregulares, la tercera columna de la lista.

2) Para los verbos regulares son las terminaciones en "ed".

Infinitive Simple Past Past Participle Spanish

arise[a'rais] arose[a'rous] arisen[a'risn] surgir, levantarse.
be[bi] was [wuas] / were[wer] been [bin] ser
beat[bit] beat[bit] beaten[bitn] golpear
become[bikam] became[bikeim] become[bikam] convertirse,llegar a ser

begin[bigIn] began[bi'gan] begun[bi'gan] comenzar

bet[bet] bet[bet] bet[bet] apostar

bite[bait] bit[bIt] bitten[bItn] morder
bleed[blid] bled[bled] bled[bled] sangrar

Veamos ahora ejemplos en ingls:

I have (I've) walked ("walked" es el participio del verbo "walk")

I have (I've) slept well ("slept" es el participio del verbo "sleep")
The house was built in 1990 ("built" es el participio del verbo "build")

I have (I've) seen the film ("seen" es el participio del verbo "see")

7.-USO DEL PRESENTE PERFECTO Y PASADO PERFECTO

En ingls utilizamos el tiempo presente perfecto cuando existe una conexin o

relacin entre el pasado y el presente. Tiene dos usos principales:

a) Lo utilizamos cuando nos encontramos interesados en el resultado presente

de algo que ocurri en un momento no definido del pasado:

- The secretary has decided to look for a new job.

La secretaria ha decidido buscar un nuevo trabajo.

- I'm afraid I have forgotten your name.

Me temo que he olvidado tu nombre.

b) Lo utilizamos para hablar acerca de una accin o situacin que comenz en

el pasado y an contina:

- How long have you worked here?

Cunto tiempo has trabajado aqu?

- She has been away on business since last week.

Ella se ha ausentado por negocios desde la semana pasada.

- I haven't seen Sylvia for several years.

No he visto a Silvia durante varios.

Con el presente perfecto utilizamos How long...? (Cunto tiempo...?) en

preguntas relacionadas con la duracin y for (durante) o since (desde) para las
respuestas.

- How long have you worked at OM Personal?

Cunto tiempo has trabajado en OM Personal?

Observa que usamos for para expresar la duracin de una accin, y since para
indicar cundo comenz la accin.

- I've worked here for twelve months (for twenty years, etc).
He trabajado aqu durante doce meses (durante veinte aos, etc)

- I've worked here since January (since 1990, since Christmas, etc).
He trabajado aqu desde Enero (desde 1990, desde Navidad, etc)
 A menudo el presente perfecto se utiliza con los adverbios just (justo), yet (an),
still (todava), already (ya), ever (alguna vez), never (nunca), recently
(recientemente), lately (ltimamente), so far (hasta aqu), up to now (hasta
ahora). Observa algunos ejemplos:

- They 've just signed an important contract.

Ellos acaban de firmar un importante contrato.
(RECUERDA: Present Perfect + JUST >> Acabar de hacer algo)

- Sheila hasn't received an answer yet.

Sheila no ha recibido respuesta an.

- Have you ever used this type of machine?

Has utilizado alguna vez este tipo de mquina?

- We've had good results so far.

Hasta aqu hemos obtenido buenos resultados.

Pasado Perfecto (Past Perfect Tense)

El Pasado Perfecto en el idioma ingls es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para referirnos a una accin que tuvo
lugar en un momento anterior a otra accin, aunque ambas hayan sucedido en el pasado estableciendo un
orden entre ellas, por ejemplo:

The film had finished when she arrived at the cinema.

La pelcula haba terminado cuando ella lleg al cine.
(Primera accin: la pelcula haba terminado
Segunda accin: ella lleg al cine)Sarah had prepared dinner when her husband got home.
Sarah haba preparado la cena cuando su esposo lleg a casa.
(Primera accin: Sarah haba preparado la cena
Segunda accin: su esposo lleg a casa)

Para poder construir la forma afirmativa del Pasado Perfecto debemos utilizar como auxiliar el verbo TO HAVE
en Pasado Simple y acompaado por el verbo principal en su Pasado Participio (ya sean verbos regulares o
verbos irregulares):

I had bought a new car. Yo haba comprado un nuevo auto.

You had cleaned the house. T habas limpiado la casa.

He had brought the gifts. l haba trado los regalos.

She had lost the credit card. Ella haba perdido la tarjeta de crdito.
Para formar una interrogacin deberemos colocar el auxiliar al comienzo de la oracin, luego el sujeto y
posteriormente el verbo principal tambin en Pasado Participio:

Had I bought a new car? Haba comprado yo un nuevo auto?

Had you cleaned the house? Habas limpiado t la casa?

Had he brought the gifts? Haba trado l los regalos?

Had she lost the credit card? Haba perdido ella la tarjeta de crdito?

Por su parte, la forma negativa se construye poniendo la negacin NOT entre el auxiliar y el verbo principal, por
ejemplo:

I had not bought a new dress. Yo no haba comprado un nuevo vestido.

You had not cleaned the house. T no habas limpiado la casa.

He had not brought the gifts. l no haba trado los regalos.

She had not lost the credit card. Ella no haba perdido la tarjeta de crdito.

Tambin puede utilizarse la forma contrada de la negacin colocando HADNT en vez de HAD NOT.
