Gramatica de los

tiempos verbales
Fernanda Michelle López Reyes
 Introducción
Los tiempos verbales en inglés son modos que sirven para
identificar cuándo sucede una acción o estado de lo que se
habla en pasado, presente y futuro; su uso correcto es
fundamental para la congruencia y claridad de textos escritos o
discursos orales.
No obstante, este manual requiere de otras herramientas a
medida que la competencia lingüística con el inglés aumente. El
aprendizaje de una segunda lengua es un proceso complejo y a
medida que avance, se encontraran más detalles, excepciones a
las reglas presentadas y las instrucciones.
