KEYS 67 EXERCISE
1- How.are you going to give Susan for her work?
a) much b) many c) money
Por qu es how much? Bien, para preguntar por el precio preguntamos how much. Recuerda que much se utiliza para sustantivos
incontables, mientras que many para contables, y cuando nos referimos al dinero o al precio de algo es much, porque dinero es
incontable.

2- Darling..go to the cinema tonight

a) let we b) we let c) let us d) we lets
Let us: se utiliza para hacer sugerencias. Lo podramos traducir por vamos, por qu no vamos?, y si vamos?, o cualquier
otra cosa que se emplee en espaol para sugerir. La estructura es siempre la misma: Let + us + infinitivo sin -to. Por ejemplo: vamos a la
playa = let us go to the beach. Y si cenamos? = Let us have dinner.
La forma Let + us se suele abreviar a lets, hacindose as ms informal, ya que es algo que se usa con frecuencia en el lenguaje
hablado.
Si queremos hacerlo negativo, la estructura es let + us/ s + NOT+ infinitivo sin -to, como tenemos en el ejemplo nmero 3, que lo
traducimos as: mam, no vayamos hoy de compras, est lloviendo.

3- Mum,. go shopping today, it is raining

a)dont let we b) lets not c) dont we d) lets no

4-It was nice to see him again. I.. him for ages.
a) havent seen b)hadnt seen c) havent see d) saw
En esta oracin, tenemos como solucin un past perfect (pasado perfecto). Se utiliza el past perfect para comparar dos acciones, una en
past simple (it was nice to see him) con una accin anterior, que es la que se hace con el past perfect. Se suele traducir por haba +
participio. El ejemplo nmero 4 lo podemos traducir de la siguiente manera: me alegr volver a verlo. No lo haba visto desde haca
mucho tiempo.

5- That cat is.. was miaowing all night on the roof

a) the one who b) the one that c) that who d) what
En este ejemplo tenemos el uso del pronombre relativo (that). Se utiliza that porque nos referimos al sustantivo cat, y con animales
that es el relativo que se debe utilizar. Por otro lado, el uso de the one significa el que, por tanto, la oracin se traduce por: ese gato
es el que estaba maullando toda la noche en el tejado. Despus de the one, necesitamos un relativo, que es, como os deca, that.

6- Those men are. were robbing the jewellers shop

a) the ones who b) who c) those whom d) whom
Este ejemplo es similar al anterior, sin embargo, aqu tenemos el sustantivo men, que rige who de relativo. Como men es plural,
the one del que hablbamos antes se convierte en plural, de ah que sea the ones. As lo traduciramos: Esos hombres son los que
estaban robando en la joyera.
 KEYS 68 EXERCISE

1. Daniels behaviour is bad, but Brians is.

a) much worst
b) more worse
c) much worse
d) worst
Tenemos aqu comparativos y superlativos. En esta pregunta, queremos expresar lo siguiente: el
comportamiento de Daniel es malo, pero el de Brian es mucho peor, por tanto, peor es comparativo,
porque comparamos ambos comportamientos, y no superlativo. El comparativo del adjetivo bad es
irregular, no sigue la regla general, y es worse, que significa peor. Ahora bien, aqu tenemos para elegir,
antes de ese comparativo, much o more, para enfatizar ese peor y decir mucho peor. Eso se hace con
much y no con more. More significa ms, mientras que much es mucho.

2. They .a photo when I was on the podium

a) were taken
b) had taken
c) are taking
d) took

En esa pregunta nos dan a alegir distintos tiempos verbales, tenses, como lo llamamos en ingls. Poniendo
la opcin d), lo traducirmos as: ellos sacaron una foto cuando yo estaba en el podio. Se trata de una accin
acabada en el pasado.
La primera opcin, a), es imposible, puesto que eso es una pasiva. La pasiva, si recuerdas, se hace con el
verbo to be en cualquier tiempo ms el participo pasado. La pasiva se utiliza cuando el sujeto, es decir, la
persona que realiza la accin, no es importante de especificar. En este ejemplo, s que tenemos la persona
que realiza la accin, la persona que hace la foto, que es they, por tanto, eso no es pasiva, es activa.
La opcin b) tampoco es vlida, porque tenemos ah un past perfect = haba sacado y la c) tampoco, porque
es presente continuo, y nosotros neceitamos un tiempo pasado, ya que la segunda parte de la oracin est en
pasado (was).

3. What are you going to..in the interview?

a) tell
b) told
c) say
d) saying

4. What did your mother. you when she found out?

a) tell
b) say
c) said
d) told

5. My sister Mary has got

a) some friend
b) a friend
c) any friends
d) no friends

Vamos a ver una a una las opciones y explicar por qu slo son vlidas la b) y la d). En la a) tenemos some
+ un sustantivo singular, imposible en ingls. Recuerda, some se utiliza en oraciones positivas + un sustativo
plural, no singular, siempre que el sustantivo sea contable. Utilizamos some cuando nos referimos a una
cantidad de algo limitada, pero que no sabemos el nmero.
La opcin b) tambin es correcta, una amiga. La c), por lo que os acabo de decir, como la oracin es
positiva, necesitaramos some + plural noun (sustantivo). Any, en cambio, se utiliza en oraciones negativas e
interrogativas, igualmente, cuando la cantidad es limitada, pero no sabemos el nmero exacto. Pero any, al
igual que some, va seguido de sustantivo plural, siempre y cuando el sustantivo sea contable, como en este
caso, friends.
Por ltimo, la opcin d) tambin es correcta, el no se utliza para negar sustantivos, en este caso, nos niega
friends, que es un sustantivo. Por tanto, esta oracin: My sister Mary has got no friends significa: mi
hermana May no tiene amigos. En ingls podemos negar el sustantivo o el verbo. Si negamos el verbo, la
oracin quedara as: My sister Mary hasnt got friends, y el significado sera el mismo.

6. She hasnt boughtyet

a) any books
b) any book
c) some books
d) some book

Esta pregunta es muy fcil una vez explicada la anterior, verdad? Como la oracin es negativa, necesitamos
any, y recuerda any va seguido de sustantivo plural, por tanto, opcin a).

7. This is the woman.we saw by the river.

a) who
b) whom
c) which
d) whose

Tenemos aqu una oracin de relativo. Who se utiliza cuando el antecedente, que es el sustantivo que
aparece delante del pronombre relativo, es una persona. Which cuando el antecedente es una cosa o animal
y whose es cuyo/a y va seguido de un sustantivo, por ejemplo: My neighbour, whose apartment is next to
mine, is a doctor.
Por ltimo, whom es el relativo que traduciramos por a quien, hace de complemento indirecto. En este
ejemplo diramos: esta es la mujer a quien/ a la que vimos por el ro. Es cierto que el uso de whom es
bastante formal y en spoken English se sustituye por who, por tanto, who tambin es vlido.

8. ..were they talking about?

a) whose
b) who
c)of whom
d) of whose
Igualmente aqu, who, porque se refiere a una persona: De quin estaban hablando?

9. When you telephoned I wasnt

a) in the phone
b) at home
c) home
d) in home

La palabra home hay veces que lleva preposicin y hay veces que no. Lleva preposicin cuando el verbo
que la acompaa es esttico (sin movimiento), por ejemplo, el verbo to be, como en este ejemplo (wasnt) y
en ese caso la preposicin siempre es at, ninguna otra. Por otro lado, cuando el verbo es de movimiento,
como por ejemplo, go, arrive, get, come back, go back, etc., que son todos verbos de movimiento, NO
LLEVA PREPOSICIN. Examples: I go home, I arrived home late.
10. Thats a machineham.
a) for to cut
b) for cutting
c) for cut
d) to cut

Cabe explicar aqu la diferencia entre:

1) to cut
2) for cutting
1) Cuando expresamos en ingls el propsito de algo, hacemos una diferencia. Cuando el propsito es de
una accin, siempre utilizaremos: TO + INFINITIVE. Por ejemplo: I study English to get a better job =
estudio ingls PARA conseguir un trabajo mejor = para qu estudio ingls? = para conseguir un trabajo
mejor, ese PARA expresa la finalidad de una accin que es conseguir. Otro ejemplo: I go to the beach to get
a tan = voy a la playa para ponerme moreno/a = para qu vas a la playa? = PARA ponerme moreno/a. La
finalidad es de una accin, ponerme moreno/a.
2) Por otro lado, cuando la finalidad se refiere a un objeto, ah decimos: FOR + VERB IN ING. ste es el
ejemplo que tenemos en la pregunta nmero 10. El objeto o aparato es machine. Otro ejemplo: I use the
scissors for cutting paper.

11. Im sorry, I forgot.it

a) posting
b) to post
c) to posting
d) post

Ah podrs ver, no slo el verbo forget, sino muchos otros verbos seguidos de -ing o de to infinitive. No
dejes de echarle un vistazo, vas a aprender mucho, ya lo vers!

12nice those girls are!

a) how
b) how a
c) what
d) what a

Tenemos aqu una exclamacin. Las exclamaciones en ingls se utilizan de la siguiente manera:
1) How + adjetive = how lovely your house is! = qu bonita es tu casa!
2) What + (adjetive) nouns = What a lovely day!
Bien, te puedes preguntar, viendo estos ejemplos, que en el ejemplo de how, tambin tenemos un sustantivo,
que es house y en el ejemplo de what tenemos un adjetivo, que es lovely, s, es cierto, pero si os dais
cuenta, en el segundo ejemplo no tenemos verbo, tenemos adjetivo (lovely) y sustantivo (day), sin embargo,
en el primero, s tenemos un sustantivo y un verbo (your house is), pero eso forma como un nuevo nucleo,
una nueva oracin.
Ejemplos: Qu nio ms mono = what a cute boy! / Qu mono es el nio = how cute the boy is!
Y la cuestin del artculo a, se pone slo con what, cuando va seguido de un sustantivo contable singular,
no con plural o singular incontable, por ejemplo: What lovely house! / What tasty milk!

13. Thats girl father is so rich

a) whom
b) whose
c) whos
d) which
Tenemos otra vez oracin de relativo, y tal como dijimos antes, whose va seguido de sustantivo y significa
cuyo/a. Este ejemplo se traduce as: sa es la nia cuyo padre is tan rico.
14did you see last Sunday?
a) whom
b) b) whose
c) to whom
d) at whom
De nuevo, oracin de relativo. Whom en este caso porque es a quin, pero como antes ya coment,
tambin podramos decir: who did you see last Sunday?

15. Is anybody there? Yes,.

a) it is
b) there is
c) she is
d) there are
Como toda pregunta en ingls, la contestacin se hace tal y como hacemos la pregunta, por ejemplo, si yo
pregunto: do you like milk?, contestara: yes, I do OR no, I dont. Como la pregunta empieza con el auxiliar
de presente do, en la respuesta tambin empleo ese auxiliar. Lo mismo sucede con there is/are, cuando
pregunto: Is there anybody there?, contesto igual, yes, there is OR no, there isnt.
