PRESENT PROGRESSIVE (ING) AFFIRMATIVE,
INTERROGATIVE, NEGATIVE.   LUIS OSWALDO RODRÍGUEZ MORALES

Affirmative form
Here the verb to beis used as the auxiliary and the main verb changes thanks to its
conjugation with the gerund "-ing”
For example:
 Pedro is taking his nap.
Pedro está tomando su siesta.
 Those girls are laughing a lot.
Esas niñas se están riendo mucho.
Negative form
Unlike the simple present time, when making denials in continuous present, there is
no need to use the auxiliary verb to do, since that place is still the verb to be:
For example:
 Pedro is not taking his nap.
Pedro no está tomando su siesta.
 Those girls are not laughing.
Esas niñas no se están riendo.
En este tipo de oraciones puedes utilizar las contracciones de esta manera:
 Interrogative form
In these kinds of questions you should start the sentence
with the auxiliary verb to be:
(Note that in English it is not necessary to open the sentence
with a question mark. Only the closing question mark is
used).
o Is Pedro sleeping?
¿Pedro está durmiendo?
o Are those girls laughing?

¿Las niñas están riendo?

Si la pregunta es negativa, se debe iniciar la oración de igual
manera que con una pregunta afirmativa, pero acompañada
del auxiliar negativo. También puedes contraer la oración:
o Isn't Pedro sleeping?

¿No está durmiendo Pedro?

PLURALS AND SINGULARS CASANDRA GLEASON AVILES

In general, the plural is formed with a single `` s `` , that is , if the Word ends
with sh , ch , s , x ,z . you must add ``es`` , in the event that a word ends in a
cosonant plus the ``y`` we must change it to an `` i `` and add ``es ``.
The same happens with the singular since we must add `` es `` at the end of the
word to be able to form the plural of the noun.
A singular noun is one that speaks of a single person or object , that is , flower
and bag . and a noun in the plural is one that speaks of two or more objects , the
same people , that is flowers and bags.
If the singular ends in `` f `` it becomes `` time `` , if these are irregular example
leaf –leaves.

PREPOSITIONS OF PLACE JAZMÍN FLORES DURAN

What are prepositions of place?

o We also call prepositions of place to those expressions

that determine the position of an object or person.

o The prepositions of place allow us to say exactly where

things are. In many cases, these prepositions are located

just after the main verb or action of the sentence.
o Prepositions in English can be invariable words or

groups of words that are used to indicate relationships

of place, movement, direction or time. Some
prepositions can have more than one use, such as in, at
and on that are used to indicate place or time.

NOUNS KELLY YARITZI SEGURA PONCIANO

Countable nouns:
They are those that can be counted and have plural
One: pencil Noun name accountants
Two: dogs Have a plural form
Three: people

Uncountable nouns:
The uncountable nouns are those that cannot be counted since they cannot be said
individually, but are part of a whole. They are treared as singular because the Word itself
cannot be nada plural.
Salt: sal YOU CAN NOT SAY:
Water: Agua Two salts, three Waters, four Bread: Pan
loaves, five money,
Money: Dinero six times, seven rice dishes.
Time: Tiempo
Rice: Arroz
However, if we want to delimit an uncountable noun, what we are doing is converting it
into an countable as we do, for this we should use a Word with partitive value.
Salt: A gram of salt
Water: Two bottles of water
Tea: Three cups of tea
Wood: A piece of wood
Exercise:
Place the following nouns in their corresponding places.
Wine, apples, sugar, hamburger, meat, coffee , tomatoes, salad , butter , oranges, pasta,
