El presente continuo se emplea principalmente para hablar

aade es en la tercera persona del singular en lugar de s:
se habla, aunque tambin puede referirse a planes y citas

Pensamiento y opinin: believe, remember, know, think,
RECUERDE QUE: seem...
Narraciones o historias Gusto, preferencias: like, dislike, love, hate...
Para narrar los hechos principales y el continuo para
describir o ambientar. Hay ocasiones en que los verbos de estado pueden ir en
forma progresiva:
He drives the car and looks at him.
He is listening to music and he doesnt recognize him. 1 Para indicar que una situacin es temporal.
Then he shouts..
I love having dinner with you.
(El conduce y lo mira. Me encanta cenar contigo (habitualmente).
Est escuchando msica y no le reconoce.
Entonces grita...) I am loving having dinner with you.
Me est encantando cenar contigo (hoy).
En Verbos de Estado

Los verbos de estado ('state verbs') no pueden ir en tiempos
continuos.
Estos son los que expresan:
Estado y posesin: be, have, own...
Percepcin y sentido: see, hear, smell, feel, taste...
Para indicar que una percepcin es voluntaria
This meal smells wonderful.
Esta comida huele de maravilla (estado, percepcin).
Im smelling this rose.
Estoy oliendo esta rosa (accin voluntaria).
17
 18
Con los verbos de pensamiento u opinin se usa las formas PARA TENER EN CUENTA
continuas para indicar que hemos empezado a pensar de
esa manera o que no estamos seguro de algo Algunos verbos nunca se conjugan en presente continuo,
entre ellos: like, see, love, hate, believe, prefer, need, know,
I regret that the car will have to be sold. understand o remember.
Lamento que el carro tendr que ser vendido (ya he
tomado mi decisin y lo siento). Por ejemplo, diremos
I'm regretting my decision to sell the car.
Pardon me? I dont understand
Estoy lamentando mi decisin de vender el carro (cada vez
soy ms consciente de que era una decisin errnea).
(Perdone, no entiendo)

El verbo 'feel' cuando significa creer u opinar va en forma en lugar de

simple y cuando denota estado va en simple o continua.
Im not understanding.
I feel he is wrong.
Creo que est equivocado (opinin).

She is feeling good. NOW LETS PRACTICE!

Se siente bien (sentido, estado).

I feel good.
Me siento bien (sentido, estado).

como tambin en su forma negativa e interrogativa.
NEGATIVE:

RECUERDE QUE:
Los verbos irregulares no aaden ed sino que cambian
ligera o totalmente en su forma afirmativa del pasado simple.
En su forma Negativa e Interrogativa no, ya que se emplea
el auxiliar to do.
PASADO DE LOS VERBOS IRREGULARES
En la forma Afirmativa, la mayora de lo verbos irregulares
cambian algunas letras entre la forma de infinitivo y la del
pasado, sobre todo las vocales:
To go, went/ to have, had: Ir, tener
En la forma Negativa se emplea to do:
Mat didnt enjoy the party. / Mat no disfrut la fiesta.
En las interrogativas tambin se utiliza to do:
Did you go to school? / Fuistes a la escuela?
El PASADO CONTINUO SE UTILIZA:
Para hablar de una accin en el pasado que todava se
estaba realizando en determinado momento:
She was taking a bath When I arrived home / Ella estaba
bandose cuando llegu a casa
Para situar una escena del pasado:
It was 1998. We were graduating from highschool/ Era el
ao 1998. Nos estbamos graduando del bachillerato.
Para sealar que ha habido un cambio o progreso:
They were improving their pronunciation/Ellos estaban
mejorando su pronunciacin.
61
 62
PARA TENER EN CUENTA

Los verbos cuyo infinitivo terminan en e como to live, solo

aadimos d (lived) (Vivi)

Lo que finalizan en consonante+vocal+consonante, como la

palabra plan, duplicamos la ultima letra (planned).

Los que terminan en y precedida por consonante, como to

study, cambian la y por una i y colocamos ed al final (studied).
(Estudi)

El verbo To be, adems de ser irregular, no tiene una nica forma

verbal de pasado simple, como ocurre con el resto de irregulares,
sino dos: was y were (Estuvo(e), Estuvieron)

Las contracciones (dont, didnt) suelen emplearse mas que todo

en el lenguaje hablado. En cambio, en la escrita se utilizan mucho
menos, ya que hacerlo supone elegir un registro bastante
informal.
