Si deseas bajar a tu reproductor hacer click derecho sobre download y guardar vinculo como.Lección 13 (Gramática): Es esta lección hablaremos de los adverbios de frecuencia. La utilizaremos con el Present Simple Tense puesto que sabemos que esta estructura es para describir acciones rutinarias.Adverbs of Frequency We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things. Adverbs of frequency go before all verbs EXCEPT the verb to be. De menos a mas:Never - hardly ever - rarely (seldom) - sometimes - usually (often)- alwaysNote 1: Remember that with never and hardly ever we use POSITIVE sentences.Example: - We don't never smoke. (INCORRECT) - We never smoke.Note 2: With don't and doesn't we use the adverb of frequency after these and before the verb. Example: - We don't usually travel.Note 3: Sometimes can go at the beginning of the sentence. (Sometimes puede ir al comienzo de una oración)The adverbs of frequency answer the typical question starting with "How often". Examples: 1) How often do you brush your teeth? I always brush my teeth2) How often does your mother cook? She seldom/rarely cooks.3) How often is Claudio late for class. He is never late for class** How often = Con que frecuencia. Para decir la horas exacta uno tambien puede preguntar (What time?) Para responder la hora exacta utilizamos la preposicion "at" antes de la hora.Ejemplo: What time do you wake up? I wake up at 7:00 am. Let's Practice Before we practice we need to learn some common verbs that we do everyday. FIGURA # 1_________________________________________________________________Ejerccicios: Complete the sentences with an adverb of frequency1) They _________ drive. They don´t have a car. 2) I _______ eat turkey. (Only at Christmas) 3) She doesn't have a watch so she's _________ late. 4) We __________ get up at 8:00, except Saturdays and Sundays. 5) I ________ play tennis (when I have time) Homework (Tarea)* FIGURAS Y EJERCICIOS DE GRAMMAR IN USE  (Cambridge) Grammar practice (LONGMAN)

EN español esto se entiende como me, le, se, nos, os etc.. En ingles siempre que hay un object pronoun hay que colocarlo en la oración (al igual que con el subject pronoun).Otros Ejemplos: Imaginense que ven unos zapatos y dicen "Me gustan". Esto en ingles no es I like o peor Me like. Primero que I like esta incompleto puesto que no se dice elo objeto. Me like es una patada a mi higado puesto que los object pronouns nunca hacen la acción. Lo corrcto es. I like them. (them por que se refiere a zapatos)- La oracion: Quiero darle un beso. -----> I want to give her a kiss. (suponiendo que el objeto es una mujer)Ejemplo:Le quiero mucho. ----->> Quien quiere (subject) a quien quiere (object)I love him/her. (Como vemos no hay tácito y se debe poner el "I" y tambien el objecto (en este caso indirecto) him her o tambien it deacuerdo al contexto. Let's Practice Circle the correct pronouns1) We/Us usually see they/them.2) I/Me write to she/her everyday.3) He/Him loves her/she very much but she/her doesn't love he/him.4) Please don't wait for she/her.5) Do you like he/him?Homework / Tarea

En la primera lección (10a) vimos la forma positiva de los verbos que no son "to be" y aprendimos como conjugarlos. Ahora veremos y estudiaremos juntos la forma negativa y de pregunta. El Present Simple en ingles -The Simple Present tense Negative form The structure of the negative structure is formed by adding the auxiliaries do or does plus the negation notDo + not ---> don't Does + not ---> doesn'tThese 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 formExamples: 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 + doesn't + verb (simple form) I / We / You / They + don't + verb (simple form)Figura #1:Let's Practice  Nota del profesor:Como vemos, lo que se conjuga en la forma negativa es el auxiliar y no el verbo. Es decir, uno va elejir entre don't y el doesn't pero el verbo SIEMPRE estara en su forma simple (sin la terminación "s") Question form The question structure is formed by following the following structureQuestion word + [do / does + SUBJECT + Verb (simple form)] + ComplementWe 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/theyThe 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 don´t y doesn't con la forma negativa. La respuesta corta se refiere a cuando responde solo si o no.Do you study English for free in InglesTotal? ----------> Yes, I do Yes, (I, you, we, you, they) do. ------------ No, ( (I, you, we, you, they) don't. Yes, (he,she,it does)------------------------- No, (he,she,it )doesn't Figura #2Figura #3Let's PracticeConclusion: The auxiliaries appear in the negative and question form with the verbs that are not to be. Example: (+) Juan plays soccer. (-) He doesn't play soccer. (?) Does he play soccer?*VERB TO BE (NO AUXILIARIES!!!) (+) She is a teacher (-) She isn't a teacher. (?) Is she a teacher?Nota: Recuerden que cuando usen el verbo to be (es decir cualquier conjugacion de ser o estar en el presente) no se usan los auxiliares puesto que estos se usan solo con los demas verbos y en negativo y en pregunta) Tarea / Homework I) Cambie las oraciones de formpositiva a forma negativaII) Escriba la forma de pregintas de las siguientes oracionesIII) Llene los vacios con la forma correcta de los auxiliares.* FIGURAS Y EJERCICIOS DE GRAMMAR IN USE  (Cambridge) Grammar practice (LONGMAN)

RECUERDEN USEN AURICULARES y cierren sus ojos.Este audio Recrea una situación muy habitual para todos porque se trata de una conversación en una peluquería. Lo interesante es del clip de audio es que usa una técnica llamada binaura / holophonic y consiste en ponerle unos micrófonos especiales en una posición específica que recrea la posición de los oidos del ser humano. Esto crea un excelente sonido "surround" simulando una conversación real.Transcript:Manuel: (singing) Oh hello there, hello there how are you yes yes are here for the virtual haircut? Yes yes I will go and get Luigi, he will come and cut your hair I am Manuel just stay right there Luigi, Luigi it´s Manuel the president is here for the virtual haircut you´d better come up.Luigi: I´ll come right nowManuel: He is coming up right now and meanwhile I will go over here and play the music, the guitar, because that is what I do here in the barbershopLuigi: Ah, It´s so nice to see you. Welcome to the Starky Cetera barbershop and your virtual haircut. I´d like to start the demonstration by moving over to your right hand side and picking up this bag if you just hold still for a sec (second). I´ll put this bag over your head just like that. The bag over the top of the head and now i´ll take the bag off there we go the only reason i did that is because all of the fancy Barbershops do that what you are listening to as i move off to your right here and very quickly wash my hands (the phone rings)Luigi: Manuel could you get that please?Manuel: Yes,Luigi: Thank you Manuel let me finish washing my hand just bare with me for a few seconds. As i was saying, all we are doing is using your head as the listening point and we have 2 microphones one on either side of the head in the same positions as where your left and right ears are your brain is doing all the work telling you where the sounds are coming formOk, I ´ll go get the scissors It´s nice and sharp Now as I begin the clipping and i bring the clippers closer to your ear very close to your right ear follow me as i move around the back of the head to the left ear and up and over the top of the head okNow you can get the same effect or better with the electric razor I will first bring it close to your right ear it is perfect and around the back and on your left t there. I think that looks wonderful manuel what do you thinkManuel: Uh What, uh, yes yes. It looks wonderful luigi you do such nice workLuigi: Thank you so much ManuelManuel: And so fast tooLuigi: Now as I walk around I just want to tell you once more that your ability to hear where I am as i walk around the room is simply the amazing power of your brain, calculating the tiny differences or cues in sound intensity and arrival time from two open ears and unlike any other hearing instrument only one has the digital algorithm that negates its own physical presence in the ear to fully restore those differences. That algorithm is called CeteraThank you, thank you so much for stopping by the Starky virtual haircut, good bye and arrivederchi.

Si desean bajarlo a su mp3 player hacer click derecho en download y guardar vinculo como.Welcome to lesson 10a (1st of two parts) where we will talk about the present simple tense with other verbs that are not the verb to be. We are going to look at the structure and the use of the simple present tense.The present simple tense (with verbs that are not TO BE) Structure / form:The forms (or conjugations) of the present simple tense are two. Remember that with the verb to be there are three forms (am, is, are). To form the present simple conjugations we first need to have the verb. In this example we will use the verb to play.Verb to play One conjugation is formed by eliminating the "to" --- > play The other conjugation is formed by adding "s" or "es". --->playsSo you can now form the conjugations of any verb in the present simple! - to work: work / works - to study: study / studies - to watch : watch / watches - to bring : bring / brings - to get : get / gets - to dance: dance / dances Note : With the verb to have the conjugations are ---> have / has (NOT haves) Now we learned to conjugate and form the verbs. Let's learn what pronouns go with the correct form.He / she / it ------------> with the "s" form (plays) I / you / we / you / they ----------> normal form without the "to" (play) *Como vemos, en el present simple existen solo dos conjugaciones con los verbos que no son "to be" (con los to be son tres conjugaciones : am, is, are). Estas dos conjugaciones son formadas muy fácilmente. Una es formada con solo quitarl e el "to" (play) y la otra forma es agregándole la letra "s" o "es". Cuando comparamos con el español vemos que esto es mas sencillo puesto que con el verbo jugar las conjugaciones son: juego, ju egas, juega, jugamos, jugáis, y juegan. Entonces si hablan el español el ingles véanlo como algo mas simple y sencillo. Figure #1: The positive form of the simple present tense Use (uso del presente simple)Now that we know the structure/form it is IMPORTANT to understand when we use the simple present. This will help us talk and participate in conversations. Without knowing the use, we will have problems expressing ourselves.We use present simple in the following situations:- To express habits and routines. Juan plays football on Saturday. I go to work everyday at 8:00 am.- General, mathematical and scientific truths: English people drink a lot of tea Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.NOTE: THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE IS NOT USED TO DESCRIBE SITUATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENNING AT THE MOMENT (NOW)**La forma y estructura es importante pero es indispensable saber el uso. Es decir, tenemos que entender cuando y en que situaciones utilizamos el simple present tense. Estas es la única forma de empezar a pensar en ingles. Cuantas veces me encuentro con alumnos que saben rellenar un examen pero no saben hablar. Esto es porque no prestan atención al uso. El uso les permitirá usar el tiempo correcto en la situación correcta y les ayudara a tener conversaciones fluidas. Olvídense de traducciones antes de hablar ingles. Esto les traerá problemas y les hará hablar lento. Simplemente piensen y practiquen el uso de los tiempos.Como vemos usamos el tiempo present simple cuando queremos expresar, rutinas, hábitos, y verdades generales, matemáticas científicas. NO SE UTILIZA EL PRESENT SIMPLE PARA EXPRESAR UNA ACCION QUE ESTA SUCEDIENDO EN EL MOMENTO:Figure #1: The positive form of the simple present tenseCommon errors: Remember that when we use "other verbs" we DO NOT use the verb to be: - I'm have two sisters (INCORRECT) --- I have two sisters (Correct) - She is plays in the park (INCORRECT) ----- She plays in the park (Correct) *Recuerden de no usar el verbo to be cuando quieran expresar otra acción.

Prepositions of place en ingles - Para bajar a tu mp3 player click derecho y guardar vinculo como. Para escuchar click en el icono de play.Curso de INGLES fratis con audio - Lección 9 (grammar) En esta lección veremos como utilizar la preposición "en" (on, in, at) en el idioma ingles. Recuerden de participar con sus comentarios, email o manden un archivo mp3.Preposition of place (at, on, in) Part 1: Uses of at, in, and on In: We use in to specify that a noun (object, person etc) is inside.Figura #1: Examples: - Where is your father? He's in the kitchen. - Who is in the room? - Brian was swimming in the ocean. - Bogota is in Colombia. * "IN" es usado para decir y explicar que un objeto, animal o persona se encuentra dentro de un lugar, objeto o sitio. At: We use at to refer to a "general" location.Figura # 2 Examples: - Maria is at the window talking on the phone. - Juan is at the table with his girlfriend. - Please read the paragraph at the top of the page. - The restaurant is at the end of German Avenue. *AT: es usado para explicar que un objeto animal o persona se encuentra en el sitio de forma general. Es decir, si uno quiere decir: "Mi padre esta en la puerta" uno no puede utilizar "in" puesto que "in" es usado para decir que algo se encuentra dentro de otro y una persona no puede estar dentro de una puerta. Es por eso que en estos casos uno habla de forma general. Por ende seria de la forma siguiente: "My father is at the door". On: We use on when we want to say that an object or person is on the surface of another object.Figura #3: Examples: - Your books are on the shelf. - Don't put your hands on my head. - There is an orange on the table. We always say : on a horse, on a bike (bicycle) , on a motorcycle and we usually say on a plane. *ON:Es usado para explicar que un objeto esta sobre la superficie de otro.Lets Practice !!!

We will learn how to use the question: "What is the weather like?" Vocabulary Weather Before we start it is important to study what question we use to ask for any type of description in English. In this case we would refer to the weather but this question is used to ask about any type of description.The question is the following: What is the weather like? What --> Question word ; Is--> verb (to be) ; the weather--> Subject ; like --> preposition Note: Like is also a verb (gustar) but for descriptions it is a preposition (como)Entonces entendemos que esta pregunta: "What is the weather like?" no tiene nada que ver con el verbo gustar. Esta pregunta se usa para preguntar sobre la descripción de algo (en esta lección, el clima) La pregunta se entiende como: ¿Cómo esta el clima? Es confuso puesto que como es how tambien en ingles pero como siempre digo, UNO TIENE QUE APRENDERSE LAS ESTRUCTURAS EN INGLES. Es decir, like significa gustar (verbo) y también como (de comparación). Ejemplo: (de like -> como y no gustar) Jorge is likehis father. Jorge es comosu papa.Remember that the subject "the weather" changes depending on what you want to ask for to be described Examples: What is Sonia like? --- What is Fabiola like? ---- What are they like? ---- What are you like?Table #1: Tipos de climas (NOUNS/ SUSTANTIVOS)  Table # 2 (nouns and adjectives that describe the weather)Nouns AdjectivesSun SunnyRain RainyWind WindyCloud CloudySnow SnowyFog FoggyThunder ThunderyLet's Practice ! Some examples:What's the weather like in Alaska? ----> It's freezing and snowy. What's the weather like in Nigeria? ----> It's very hot. It is boiling!

Recuerden de votar por InglesTotal AQUI (bajo EDUCACION) The Present Continuous or present progressive tenseStructure: S + verb to be (AM/IS/ARE) + -ing form of a verb+ Complement. Use: To describe actions that are happening at the moment (NOW).La estructura consta del uso del verbo mas el gerundio. se usa para describir acciones que suceden en el momento. Se usa para explicar lo que uno esta haciendo ahora. I) The positive form of the present continuous.  - Remember to use the Subject (this can be a subject pronoun or a noun -LESSON 1 Click AQUI) plus (+) the verb to be in the present tense (am/is/are) and complement (optional).The following is the table of the positive form of the present continuous / progressive.Table #1 :Positive FormCommon mistakes:- Students forget to use the verb to beExample:a) My father working (INCORRECT) ---> My father IS working. (Correct)- Sometimes students do not use the -ing form.b) Robert is play with my sister (INCORRECT) ---> Robert is playING with my sister. (CORRECT) Recuerden de no omitir el sujeto. En español "Esta comiendo" esta usando un sujeto tácito. En ingles siempre debemos decir quien hace la acción (salvo en el imperativo) Entonces en "esta comiendo" el sujeto puede ser el, ella, o ello. En ingles seria "He/she /it is eating" dependiendo del contexto. II) The negative form of the present continuous The negative form is used by adding "not" after the verb to be in the present tense form. You may use contractions.Table # 2:The negative form.Common mistakes:-Some students place the negative first. REMEMBER TO USE THE S+V+C !!!a) Not working my father (INCORRECT) ---> My father isn't (is + not) working (CORRECT)- Students use the don't/doesn't to do the negative:b) She doesn't playing (INCORRECT) ---> She isn't playing (CORRECT) III) The question form of the present continuous. We have to put the verb to be + the subject + -ing form + the complement.Are you watching TV? Remember that we can use the Question words before the structure: Examples:- What are you doing? Answer: I am studying English with my virtual teacher.- Where is Pedro going? Answer: He is going to the shopping mall. Table # 3: Question formCommon mistakes:- Students do not change the order of the verb to be with the subject:a) He is working? (INCORRECT) ---> Is he working? (CORRECT)- Students use do or does in questions:b) Do you studying? (INCORRECT) ---> Are you studying? (CORRECT) IV) Let's practice !
