 INTRODUCCIÓN

“CUANDO MÁS CONVENCIDO ESTÉS DE QUE PUEDES REALIZAR ALGO, MÁS RECURSOS
ESTARÁS DISPUESTO A INVERTIR”
A. ROBBINS

Con el estudio de este modulo se realiza la búsqueda permanente de estrategias eficaces y

efectivas de aprendizaje, más de enseñanza, a través de ensayo y error, de aciertos y
desaciertos, hasta lograr sistematizar el enfoque pedagógico que desarrolla esta guía de
aprendizaje.

Un aporte importante de este modulo de inglés es presentar, inicialmente un inventario

significativo de elementos lingüísticos; llámense en inglés esencial (essential English), es
decir, la estructura y el vocabulario básico a partir de los cuales el aprendiente pueda
construir su propio aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera.

En este modulo encontramos una serie de necesidades para aquellas personas que están
totalmente comprometidas en continuar un proceso que ya iniciado. Es así como este
ejemplar ha sido diseñado pensando en una forma eficaz y práctica de aprender inglés,
porque como todos sabemos, en un mundo que marcha tan aprisa, no podemos perder
tiempo girando en círculos tratando de encontrar los medios que nos puedan ayudar en un
aprendizaje, lo que en realidad necesitamos son herramientas y las instrucciones más
precisas para el alcance de nuestra meta final: hablar y escribir inglés correctamente.

Esta guía contiene varios talleres y actividades a desarrollar que te conducirá a un

aprendizaje real y práctico del idioma inglés, porque hoy en día es importante conocer
bastante gramática, la cual nos permitirá comunicarnos con nuestro entorno. Por esta razón
esta se encuentra mezclada con ejercicios prácticos, los cuales nos ayudarán a mejorar en
las habilidades de escucha, habla, escritura y lectura.

Sirve, además, como punto de referencia para establecer lo que los estudiantes están en
capacidad de saber sobre el idioma y lo que deben saber hacer con él en un contexto
determinado.

RECUERDA QUE NADIE PUEDE APRENDER INGLÉS POR TÍ. LO QUE HAGAS POR TU

 EL ABECEDARIO INGLÉS

A continuación revisaremos la pronunciación para cada letra del abecedario inglés, que como
podrás ver es el mismo que utilizamos en español pero sin la letra "ñ". Esto ocurre porque el
alfabeto que usamos es el latino o romano, que es el más extensamente usado en el mundo
(por ejemplo para el español, inglés, alemán, portugués, francés, italiano, etc...) con
pequeñas variaciones para algunos idiomas.

Letras del abecedario en inglés. El listado consta de la letra, escritura y su pronunciación

SALUDOS Y PRESENTACION

En el aprendizaje de un idioma como lengua extranjera es muy importante adquirir los parámetros de
comunicación necesarios para un acercamiento inicial. Dentro de estos parámetros, la presentación

personal es muy importante. Este contacto inicial es indispensable al momento de establecer
negociaciones y comunicación significativa entre individuos de contextos similares o culturalmente
diversos.

 To be  Was  Been 
ser, estar  fui, era sido, estado

El verbo 'To be' tiene una importancia especial en inglés. Se corresponde a los verbos
españoles "ser" y "estar". Dependiendo del sentido de la frase deduciremos de cual de los
dos se trata.

I am English / Soy inglés

I am in England / Estoy en Inglaterra

Tiene algunos usos especiales distintos a sus equivalentes españoles. 

- Sirve para expresar la edad, en cuyo caso se traduce por 'tener':

Mary is 20 years old / Maria tiene 20 años

I am 21 / Yo tengo 21 años

How old are you? / ¿Cuántos años tienes?

- Para expresar las sensaciones también se emplea el verbo 'to be' y equivale al 'tener'
español.

Are you hungry? / ¿Tienes hambre?

He is thirsty / Tiene sed

- También para hablar sobre el tiempo atmosférico. En este caso se traduce por 'hacer'

It's windy / Hace viento

It's very cold / Hace mucho frío

forma interrogativa no. En el pretérito solamente la forma negativa puede contraerse.

Las formas contraidas suelen utilizarse en la conversación, pero no se usan de forma escrita
salvo cuando el propio escrito tiene un carácter informal o refleja una conversación.

TO BE + INFINITIVO

Cuando al verbo 'to be' le sigue un infinitivo adquiere una importancia especial:

- Es una forma de dar instrucciones u órdenes de manera impersonal.

She is to stay here till we return / Ella debe quedarse aquí hasta que volvamos
(en lugar de 'She must stay....')

- Sirve para establecer un plan

She is to be married next year / Ella va a casarse el año próximo

TO BE + GOING TO

Expresa una forma de futuro. Equivale a las expresiones españolas "ir a..., estar punto de...
tener la intención de..., etc."

What's the Time in English?

Exercise

37
Exercise on Telling the Time

Explanation

There are two common ways of telling the time.

Formal but easier way

Say the hours first and then the minutes.

Example: 7:45 - seven forty-five

For minutes 01 through 09, you can pronounce the '0' as oh.

Example: 11:06 - eleven (oh) six

More popular way

Say the minutes first and then the hours. Use past and the preceding hour for minutes 01 through 30.
Use to and the forthcoming hour for minutes 31 through 59, but .

Example: 7.15 - fifteen minutes past seven

Example: 7.45 - fifteen minutes to eight

Another possibility of saying '15 minutes past' is: a quarter past

Another possibility of saying '15 minutes to' is: a quarter to

Another possibility of saying '30 minutes past' is: half past

Example: 5:30 - half past five

Watch

38
Note

Use o'clock only at the full hour.

Example: 7:00 - seven o'clock (but 7:10 - ten past seven)

In English ordinary speech, the twelve-hour clock is used.

Beispiel: 17:20 - twenty past five

For times around midnight or midday you can use the expressions midnight or midday / noon instead of the
number 12.

Beispiel: 00:00 - midnight

Beispiel: 12:00 - midday or noon

To make clear (where necessary) whether you mean a time before 12 o'clock noon or after, you can use in the
morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, at night. Use in the morning before 12 o'clock noon, after 12 o'clock
noon use in the afternoon. When to change from afternoonto evening, from evening to night and
from night to morning depends on your sense of time.

Example: 3:15 - a quarter past three in the morning OR a quarter past three at night

More formal expressions to indicate whether a time is before noon or after are a.m. (also: am - ante meridiem,
before noon) and p.m. (also: pm - post meridiem, after noon). Use these expression only with the formal way of
telling the time.

Example: 3:15 - three fifteen a.m.

It is not usual to use a.m. and p.m. with past/to.

39
 Example: 3:15 - fifteen minutes past three OR a quarter past three
American English

Beside past Americans often use after.

Example: 06:10 - ten past/after six

But: in time expressions with half past it is not usual to replace past by after.

Beside to Americans often use before, of or till.

Example: 05:50 - ten to/before/of/till six

Exercices:

Write the hour taking into account the numbers and follow the example.

5:40: it is five forty minutes

SIMPLE PRESENT
simplesi

El presente simple, también llamado del indicativo, es el tiempo verbal más simple del inglés. Se suele
utilizar para hablar sobre hechos que constituyen hábitos o costumbres.

Se forma con la forma base del verbo del infinitivo. Este infinitivo consta de dos partículas: to y la forma
base del verbo, así, por ejemplo, to eat es un infinitivo que significacomer.

Conozcamos en la siguiente tabla el presente del indicativo:

Conjugación Inglés Español

1ª per. singular I work yo trabajo
2ª per. singular you work tú trabajas
he works él trabaja
3ª per. singular she works ella trabaja
It works (para objetos)

74
 nosotros/as
1ª per. plural we work
trabajmos
vosotros/as
2ª per. plural you work
trabajais
3ª per. plural they work ellos/as trabajan

La única dificultad escriba, como de costumbre, en la 3ª persona del singular; de hecho, esta 3ª persona es
especial a la hora de conjugar verbos. Como regla general se añade s, aunque veremos que existen algunas
excepciones.

Usos del presente simple

Este tiempo verbal se utiliza para expresar hechos o verdades generales.

The Sun warms the atmosphere. -> El Sol calienta la armósfera.

También usamos el presente simple para hablar de hábitos; en este caso, en la oración suele aparecer
expresiones de frecuencia, como usually o always.

We play tennis usually. -> Nosotros jugamos al tenis ocasionalmente.

You study always. -> Vosotros estudiais siempre.
Tambien lo usamos para expresar horarior o programas (como el programa de un espectáculo teatral).

The train leaves in an hour. -> El tren llega en una hora.

Reglas ortográficas para la 3ª persona del singular

Como regla general, a la forma verbal de la 3ª persona del singular se le añade s; no obstante,existen unas
cuantas reglas para una serie de formas verbales que son especiales:

1.- Cuando el verbo acaba ya en s, o en un sonido parecido como sh, ch o x:

watch -> watches (mirar)         dash -> dashes (arrojar)

2.- Cuando el verbo acaba en o, también se añade es:

go -> goes (ir)        do -> does (hacer)

3.- Cuando el verbo acaba en y, y a ésta le precede una consonante, tenemos que cambiar lay por i, para a
continuación añadir es:

fly -> flies (volar)         study -> studies (estudiar)

Observa que estas reglas ortográficas son las mismas que se aplican para formar el plural. También son
las que se usan para formar otros tiempos verbales, por lo que una vez que las aprendas tendrás mucho
ganado.

75
EXERCICES

Write down the missing sentences.

  affirmative negative questions

I I play.

you You help.

he He does not answer.

she Does she sing?

it It rains.

we Do we dream?

you You do not read.

they Do they work?

Put the correct forms of the verbs into the gaps. Use the Simple Present in the statements.

Example: I _____ in the lake. (to swim)

Answer: I swim in the lake.

1) We   our dog. (to call)

76
2) Emma   in the lessons. (to dream)

3) They   at birds. (to look)

4) John   home from school. (to come)

5) I   my friends. (to meet)

6) He   the laptop. (to repair)

7) Walter and Frank   hello. (to say)

8) The cat   under the tree. (to sit)

9) You   water. (to drink)

10) She   the lunchbox. (to forget)

Forma Pasada de los Verbos Regulares       

Se forma añadiendo "-ed" al infinitivo:  Infinitivo    Forma pasada

To need (necesitar)    needed
To listen (escuchar)    listened

Si el infinitivo del verbo termina en "e", entonces tan sólo se le añade una "d":
Infinitivo    Forma pasada
To love (amar)    loved
To bribe (sobornar)    bribed

Si el infinitivo del verbo termina en "y", tras consonante, entonces esta letra "y" se
transforma en "i" y se le añade "-ed".
Infinitivo    Forma pasada
To carry (llevar)    carried
To study (estudiar)    studied

Si el infinitivo del verbo está formado por una sola sílaba, con una sola vocal y
termina en consonante, entonces esta consonante se dobla:
Infinitivo    Forma pasada
To stop (parar)    stopped
To ban (prohibir)    banned

También se dobla la última consonante de aquellos verbos de dos o más silabas,

cuyo acento recae en la última sílaba, y ésta contiene una sola vocal y finaliza en una
sola consonante:
Infinitivo    Forma pasada
To admit (admitir)    admitted
To prefer(preferir)    preferred

77
 Por último, se dobla también la última consonante de aquellos verbos cuyo
infinitivo termina por "l", tras una única vocal:
Infinitivo    Forma pasada
To signal (señalar)    signalled
To cancel (cancelar)    cancelle

Pasado Simple - (Simple Past Tense)

El Pasado Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones que han sucedido en
un tiempo anterior y que ya han finalizado, por ejemplo:

She cleaned her house. Ella limpió su casa.

I broke the window. Yo rompí la ventana.

Aquí vemos su conjugación que en el español equivale al Pretérito Indefinido. Observa que la

81
estructura de la oración es similar a la del Presente Simple:

Tanto en la forma interrogativa como en negativa se utiliza como auxiliarDID que es la forma

pasada del verbo "TO DO" y acompaña al verbo principal en su forma infinitiva. En las
negaciones puede utilizarse la forma contraída de DID NOT o sea DIDN'T. En el cuadro superior
se emplea el verbo To Play (Jugar) a modo de ejemplo.

Al expresar una oración en Pasado Simple se entiende que la acción no guarda relación con el
presente, como vemos en los siguientes casos:

He lost the keys. Él perdió las llaves.

(Puede que en el presente las haya encontrado).

She lent me a book. Ella me prestó un libro.

(Puede que ya se lo haya devuelto).

También es posible indicar el momento en que se desarrolla la acción para indicar el tiempo con
mayor precisión:

They saw the movie last night. Ellos vieron la película anoche.

We went to London yesterday. Nosotros fuimos a Londres ayer.

Para poder formar una oración en tiempo pasado debemos distinguir dostipos: VERBOS
REGULARES y VERBOS IRREGULARES.

82
En el primero de los casos forman su Pasado Simple añadiendo la terminación ED al infinitivo,
mientras que los irregulares reciben ese nombre por no seguir un patrón determinado y en este
caso deben estudiarse individualmente.

Comparatives and Superlatives

Los comparativos sirven justamente para comparar una misma cualidad o característica en dos sustantivos.

Por ejemplo, en la frase "a small shirt" (una camisa chica), small es un adjetivo. Para comparar este objeto
