En el Present Simple se usa la forma infinitiva del verbo. ¡No te olvides añadir un -s en la
tercera persona del singular!
Si en la frase hay una expresión temporal que exprese una regularidad o un hábito, hay
que usar el Present Simple.
Un buen truco para saber si tienes que usar el Present Continuous, es preguntándote si esa
acción está pasando en este justo momento.
Si has hecho planes, sabes que ocurrirán en un futuro inminente. Estos planes se expresan
con el Present Continuous.
Resumen:
• El present simple para hábitos, rutinas o cosas que hacemos con regularidad.
• El present continuous para cosas que están pasando justo en el momento en el que
hablamos.
• El present continuous si el verbo termina en “-ing” o si hay un “ahora mismo”.
• El present continuous para hablar de planes que estamos seguros de que van a
ocurrir en un futuro inminente.

• active and passive voice
Notice how the subject, dog, is performing the action, chase, on the target of the action,
ball. This is a simple, direct example of the active voice.
In the passive voice, the action’s target, ball, is positioned first as the focus of the sentence.
The sentence gets flipped, and the subject is now being acted upon by the verb. In other
words, the subject is passive:
Passive voice: In the passive voice, the action’s target is the focus, and the verb acts upon
the subject. Or, to put it in the passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb. Every
sentence in the passive voice contains two verbs:
Active voice As we’ve learned, in the active voice, the sentence’s subject performs the
action. Here are two examples of sentences in the active voice:
No matter what verb you use, structuring your sentence so the subject performs the verb is
writing in the active voice.
The active voice has a direct, clear tone. Use it when you want the reader to focus on your
sentence and the action it is doing rather than on the action’s target.
• active and state verbs
• formal and informal language
• phrasal verbs
Los phrasal verbs son estructuras verbales compuestas por dos partículas: verbo
+ adjetivo , adverbio o preposición que sirven para definir acciones o estados específicos.
Gracias a esto, de un mismo verbo, por ejemplo, burn, se pueden crear verbos compuestos
muy distintos entre sí: burn out (extinguirse), burn down (quemarse por completo, hasta las
cenizas) o burn up (causar enojo, manejar a alta velocidad).
¿Cómo saber si un phrasal verb transitivo es separable o inseparable?
• modal verbs
• present perfect continuous
Existen dos escenarios principales en los que se puede utilizar este tiempo verbal:
1. Acciones que iniciaron en el pasado y continúan en el presente
Ejemplo: I have been looking for a job for three months now (He estado buscando trabajo
desde hace tres meses).
• adverbs-adjectives
An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies (i.e., describes) a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives may come before the word they modify.
Examples:
That is a cute puppy.
She likes a high school senior.
An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Adverbs answer how, when, where, why, or to what extent—how often or how
much (e.g., daily, completely).
Examples:
He speaks slowly (tells how)
He speaks very slowly (the adverb very tells how slowly)
They arrived today (tells when)
