1. CLASS WORKSHOP
Taking into account the guidelines given in class and the grammatical structures seen so
far. The student will create a ppt presentation that includes the grammatical tenses seen in
summary in these parts:
Teniendo en cuenta las pautas dadas en clase y las estructuras gramaticales vistas hasta el
momento. El estudiante creara una presentación ppt en la que incluya los tiempos
gramaticales vistos de manera resumida en estas partes:
PRESENT SIMPLE
The construction of the present simple in English is really easy, it has the structure:
To consider:
Let's see as an example the conjugation of the verb "to live" (live) in the present simple:
Conjugación Significado
I live yo vivo
you live tú vives
to go he goes él va
EXAMPLES:
2. I am an english student
3. I like to take my son to the park
4. she has a very cute dress
5. my aunt is on vacation this summer
6. I can not play soccer
7. How many days until your birthday arrives?
PRESENT CONTINUOUS
Normally the personal pronoun and the verb “to be” are abbreviated to form a contraction:
“I'm”, “you're”, “he's”, “she's”, “it's”, “we're”, “they 're":
The chart below shows you how negative questions and sentences are formed in the present
continuum.
As you can see, the structure is very simple. If you want to build a negative sentence, just
put the adverb "not" after the verb "to be".
If you want to ask a question, put the verb "to be" at the beginning of the sentence (if it is
not a question with "why", "what", where ", etc.).
The present continuous is used to talk about an event that is happening when you are
talking.
In many occasions the sentence includes words like "now", "at the moment", "right now",
etc.
EXAMPLES:
The present continuous is also used to talk about actions that are happening in the present,
but not necessarily at the exact moment we are talking about:
"She is studying at school". She is studying at school.
"My brother is learning to drive". My brother is learning to drive.
"I am working on a very important project". I am working on a very important
project.
These are the main uses of the present continuous. But let's look at other additional uses.
The present continuous is also used to talk about events scheduled in the future, usually
with movement verbs:
Don't use the present continuous when verbs themselves indicate a process.
There are two main ways to express the future. Sometimes they are interchangeable, but
often they can have different meanings.
There is a short form of the modal verb “will” in both the affirmative and the negative.
EJEMPLOS:
EJEMPLOS:
I will not [won’t] call you tonight. (No te llamaré esta noche.)
She will not [won’t] arrive late. (No llegará tarde.)
They will not [won’t] be happy to see you.(No estarán felices de verte.)
EJEMPLOS:

EJEMPLOS:

SIMPLE PAST
There are many ways to talk about the past in English, but the simple past is the most
common form. The simple past tense in English is equivalent to the imperfect past tense
and indefinite past tense of Spanish. We use the simple past for complete actions in the
past. The time period of these actions is not important as in Spanish. In the past simple
there are regular verbs and irregular verbs.
To form the past simple with regular verbs, we use the infinitive and add the ending "-ed".
The shape is the same for all people (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).
Ejemplos:
want → wanted
learn → learned
stay → stayed
walk → walked
show → showed
Exceptions:
1. For verbs that end in an “e”, we just add “-d”.
Examples:
change → changed
believe → believed
2. If the verb ends in a short vowel and a consonant (except “y” or “w”), we double the
final consonant.
Examples:
stop → stopped
commit → committed
3. With verbs ending in a consonant and a “y”, the “y” is changed to an “i”.
Examples:
study → studied
try → tried
EXAMPLES:
TAG QUESTION
In English it is common to end the sentences with another short phrase, of opposite sign,
which is intended to ask for the opinion or seek the approval of the interlocutor: these are
the so-called question tags. These phrases are equivalent to: right ?, isn't it ?, isn't it ?, isn't
it? really?
Examples:
She doesn't like to dance, does she? (She doesn't like dancing, does she?)
Alex and Sergio are friends, aren't they? (Alex and Sergio are friends, right?)
Grammatical Rules
To form this short question we will use the auxiliary of the main sentence and its subject
but with an opposite sign. If it had no auxiliary then we would use the auxiliary "to do".
If the sentence is affirmative, the tail question is negative and vice versa.
EXAMPLES:
Affirmative sentences
Your brother is older than you, isn't he? (Your brother is older than you, isn't he?)
You can help me, can’t you?
John is getting married, isn't he? (John will get married, right?)
You worked yesterday, didn’t you?
Sarah likes ice cream, doesn't she? (Sarah likes ice cream, right?)
Negative sentences
To have got:
They’ve got a dog, they haven’t they?
To have:
They have a dog, don’t they?
Exception: With the verb “to be” in the first person of negative sentences, “aren’t” is used
in the coletilla question.
EXAMPLES:
I am not wrong, am I?
I am wrong, aren't I?
