Aprender Ingles en INTERNET- LECCION 36 GRAMMAR curso PRE INTERMEDIO - Future with WILL - Futuro willWELCOMEClase CON AUDIO (hacer click en ICONO de PLAY)In this post we are going to present grammar lesson 36 of the preintermediate level. Today we are learning how to use WILL. We are going to learn the structure and then the USES of the future tense with will.Before we start, remember that every time we learn a new tense or grammar structure it is important to learn the syntax but more important is to learn the uses. It is important to know how our structures can help us communicate better. Future with WILL - Futuro WILL Structure and syntaxThe structure of WILL is quite simple. There is only one conjugation and we always use the verb in the infinitive form. Positive form  Subject + [WILL + Infinitive verb] + ComplementExamples:- Tom will never get married.- She will pay you next week.- I will love you forever Negative form  Subject + [WILL NOT (WON'T)+ Infinitive verb] + ComplementExamples:- It won't rain today- Seth and Tom won't come to class today.- I won't be late anymore. Question form  Question Word + [WILL + Subject + Infinitive verb] + ComplementExamples:- What will you study?- Will Maria live in Spain?- How long will Mark stay in Peru? Let's look at the following table: FUTURO WILLComo vemos la estructura es bastante simple. Siempre usamos WILL y de allí el verbo siempre va en la forma infinitiva sin conjugación.Examples:- Maria will never change. She is very stubborn.- Don't worry. It won't rain today. You don't need to take your raincoat.- Will Mr. Goldbert be the next president?WILL  - USES: We use the structure WILL in the following situations:INSTANT or spontaneous  DECISIONS PROMISES PREDICTIONS INSTANT OFFERSEl truco de aprender la forma WILL no es tanto es como formar la estructura sino en usarlo en las situaciones correctas. Quiero que vean a la estructura WILL no solo como el tiempo FUTURO ya que eso no les va a servir de mucho sino en saber que usamos WILL para: tomar decisiones, expresar promesas, predicciones, y ofrecer algo. EXAMPLES:- We don't have any beer left. Don't worry. I'll buy some (INSTANT DECISIONS).- Can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back next month (PROMISES)- The Peruvian football team will go to the next world cup (PREDICTIONS)- (You see an old lady lifting a heavy bag) I'll help you (INSTANT OFFERS) ONLINE EXERCISES: http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/will_future_statements.htmhttp://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/330/grammar/futwil1.htm

Curso gratuito en línea para aprender inglés GRATIS - PAST CONTINUOUS / PAST CONTINUOUS - USOS y ESTRUCTURA - LECCION 32 GRAMATICA (PreIntermedio)Hello Song: La grange (zztop)In this post we are going to talk about the past continuous. We will look at the syntax and the use of this tense. We are also going to compare it to the past simple and see the differences. Past Continuous / Past Progressive Structure Positive form Subject + was/were + (-ing) + Complement Examples:-          Michael was watching the World Cup  match. -          They were working all night long. -          Josh and Silvia were talking about getting married. Negative form Subject + wasn’t/weren’t + (-ing) + Complement Examples:-          John wasn’t eating because he was feeling sick. -          Jeff wasn’t watching TV. -          My parents weren’t having a good time because it was very cold in Canada Question Form (Question Word) + was/were + Subject + (-ing) + Complement -          What were you doing last night at around 8:00pm? -          Was Jim doing his homework? -          Were they sleeping all morning? Conclusions: -The complete structure: (TABLE #1) - Past continuous is very similar IN STRUCTURE to the Present Continuous tense. The only difference is that in the present continuous we use the verb to be in the present (am/is/are) but with the past continuous we use the verb to be in the past (was/were)Compare (TABLE #2)Present Continuous Past ContinuousThey are  writing They were writingPedro isn’t eating Pedro wasn’t eatingWhere is he staying? Where was he staying?-          We do not use the auxiliary DID with the past continuous. USE We use the past continuous to talk about an action that was in progress at a certain time in the past, an action at some point in the past between its beginning and end Example: He was working in the garden at 7 o’clock this morning.The past continuous is used to describe an action that we were “in the middle of” at a time in the past. -          I was watching TV at 8:00pm. (I was “in the middle of watching TV” at 8:00) -          Miguel was cooking at noon. (At that time, Miguel was “in the middle of cooking”)It is important to remember this concept so that in our next lesson we can compare and contrast the past continuous with the past simple.

Curso gratuito en línea para aprender inglés GRATIS - Negative Questions / Preguntas en forma negativa - USOS y ESTRUCTURA - LECCION 31 GRAMATICAToday we are going to talk about questions. When do we use negative questions? How do we form them? What are the differences between normal questions and negative questions. We will discuss all these points.Hoy repasaremos las preguntas en negative "negative questions" y veremos juntos cuando lo usamos y como es que se forman estas preguntas. Negative questions Structure: To form negative questions we simply add n't (not) after the auxiliaryNegative Questions  Aren’t you married?Don’t you know English? PRESENT SIMPLEIsn’t Juan working? PRESENT CONTINUOUSWasn’t Felipe sick?Didn’t Mary study for the test? PAST SIMPLEHaven’t you sent the email PRESENT PERFECTAren’t you going to the doctor tomorrow? FUTURE USE of negative questions Compare the following questions-          Are you sick?This is a normal information question. I want to know if the person is sick in general. -          Aren’t you sick? In this case you have the idea that the person is sick. For example, let’s suppose that Mario arrived late to work and said he was sick. Later that afternoon you see him drinking a cold beer. You say “Hey Mario, aren’t you sick?” We use the negative questions:  To show surprise : Didn't you send the email? Why? That was so important. To show doubt; to check information -Aren't you the Carlos? Don't you teach English on-line? Wow! Nice to meet you. - Doesn't she work for City Bank. I think I know her When you expect the listener to agree -Isn't it a great day. It is so sunny and the sky is blue. - Doesn't this food tase delicious? Yummy Yummy. En conclusión vemos que para formas los "negative questions" simplemente añadimos el "not" despues del "auxiliary". Es es bastante sencillo pero la importancia esta es saber es que situaciones se usan. COmo vimos lo usamos para expresar sorpresa, cuando tenemos una duda y queremos corraborar información y finalmente lo usamos cuando esperamos que la otra persona este de acuerdo  con nosotros. Recuerden de practicar esta forma y de no olvidarse de los usos.

Curso gratuito en línea para aprender inglés desde casa - ¿Cual es la diferencia entre el PRESENT SIMPLE y el PRESENT CONTINUOUS? - LECCION 30 GRAMATICAIn this lesson we are going to compare the present simple and  present continuous tense. We are going to study the differences and do exercises together. It is a very common problem to confuse these to tenses. This post includes AUDIO and WRITTEN CLASS.Esta lección incluye AUDIO y CLASE ESCRITAPresent Simple amd Present ContinuousMany students (especially from Latin America) have problems in choosing the correct form of the verb when we talk about the “present”. Such problems arise because they translate from Spanish to English directly without paying attention to the communicative uses. Structure differencesPresent Simple: - Maria plays tennis at the weekends - She doesn’t study French. - How many children do they have?Remember: - In positive we use two conjugations. One is the simple form and the other is the “s” form (play/plays) - In negative sentences we use the auxiliaries don’t and doesn’t and the verb is ALWAYS in the simple form. (She doesn’t work) - In the question form we use auxiliaries do and does and also the verb goes in the simple form. The subject goes in between the auxiliary and the verb. (Do you work here?) Present continuous - Maria is playing tennis. - She isn’t studying. - What are they doing?Remember: - When we construct the present continuous we use the verb to be. Therefore we DO NOT USE auxiliaries do, does, don’t or doesn’t. - Use the “ing” form after the verb to be.

Curso para aprender inglés en línea gratis - LECCION 29 GRAMMAR - PREINTERMEDIATEHoy vamos a darle un vistazo a los adjetivos que acaban en “ed” y en “ing”. Veremos juntos cuando usarlos y las diferencias entre estos adjetivos.Today we are going to discuss the use of adjectives ending in “ed” and in “ing”. We will look at the differences and on the rules.Adjectives ending in “ED” and ”ING” Some adjectives have the characteristic of ending in “ed” and “ing”. Let’s ltake a look at the rules.We use adjectives ending in “ING” to describe something or someone.Examples: Maria is watching a very interesting movie. I hate that teacher. He is really boring.We use adjectives ending in “ED” when we want to describe how people feel.Examples: This movie isn’t interesting. I am bored. Juan is very exited because he is going to travel to Miami for the first time.Conclusions - We can use adjectives ending in “ing” for things or people. Remember that when we use “ing” it is describing the person or thing. - We can use the “ed” ONLY for people (or animals) because THINGS CANNOT FEEL.We can say: Felipe is boring. (describes his personality). Felipe is bored. (he feels bored at the moment)We can’t say: The TV program is bored – INCORRECT (because things can’t feel).***Queda claro que para cosas, situaciones u objetos usamos la terminación “ing” y no es posible usar “ed”. La razón es porque se usa la terminación “ed” para expresar lo que uno siente y está claro que las cosas sin vida no pueden sentir. Para personas uno puede usar “ed” (cuando uno siente) o  “ing” pero esta última se usa para DESCRIBIR a la persona. Así que si yo digo “Juan is depressed” quiere decir que se encuentra deprimido ya que describo la situación actual porque por algina razón se siente asi. En cambio si decimos “Juan is depressing” entonces describimos a Juan. Es una persona depresiva.   Adjectives ending in -ed and -ing listADJECTIVES (ING – ED) Spanish translationalarming alarmed  Alarmante / alarmadoamusing amused Divertidoannoying annoyed Fastidioso / fastidiadoboring bored Aburridoconcerning concerned Preocupante / preocupadoconfusing confused Confuso / confundidoembarrassing embarrassed Embarazoso / avergonzadoencouraging encouraged Alentador / animadoentertaining entertained Entretenidoexciting excited Emocionante / emocionadoexhausting exhausted Agotador / agotadofrightening frightened Aterrador / aterradofrustrating frustrated Frustrante / frustradohumiliating humiliated Humillante / humilladointeresting interested Interesante / interesadointriguing intrigued Intrigante / intrigadooverwhelming overwhelmed Abrumador / abrumadoperplexing perplexed Perplejopleasing pleased Agradable / complacidorelaxing relaxed Relajante / relajadosatisfying satisfied Gratificante / satisfechoshocking shocked Chocante / estupefactosurprising surprised Sorprendente / sorprendidotiring tired Cansador / cansado*** Lista mas completa aquí : http://www.trussel.com/eding.htm Exercises / Ejercicios (Las respuestas están en el audio) Choose the correct form of the adjective according to the context. 1)      Monday is very bored / boring. It is the first day of the week. 2)      I’m bored / boring with my job. It’s always the same. 3)      When we lost the football game, we felt depressed / depressing. 4)      My team never wins.
