2. Take the quiz. Personal information.

3. Do you like parties? Why? Which is your favorite party and why?

Yes, I like parties in a moderate way since they are a good way to entertain themselves and they also
serve to spend time with friends and other people outside of everyday life.

My favorite holiday is Christmas because of the atmosphere that is experienced everywhere, the
symbolism that the season brings that begins to be noticed everywhere from social networks to the
streets and normally because of the period of recess and family coexistence that occurs. for these
dates.

Mattery of Curse English

TIMES
Horas: En punto – O’clock
Para referirnos a la hora en punto solamente debemos decir It’s + la
. hora que es + expresión o’clock.

Por ejemplo. It’s two o’clock, It’s five o’clock o It’s nine o’clock.
. Recuerda que solo utilizamos la forma simple, es decir del 1 al 12.

Existen dos términos para referirnos a las 12, bien sean del mediodía o media noche.

▪ Twelve noon o simplemente noon.

▪ Twelve midnight o simplemente midnight.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Horas: Y Media – Half Past

Cuando queremos decir que es una hora y media debemos decir It’s + la
. expresión half past + la hora que es.

Por ejemplo. It’s half past one, It’s half past seven o It’s half past eleven.

__________________________________________________________

Horas: Y Cuarto – Quarter Past

Para hablar de una hora y cuarto, decimos It’s + la

expresión quarter past + la hora que es.

Ejemplo. It’s quarter past three o It’s quarter past two.

____________________________________________________
HORAS: Menos Cuarto – Quarter To
En este caso sustituímos “past” por “to”. Cuando antes decíamos algo así
como “un cuarto (de hora) pasado de” ahora decimos “un cuarto (de
hora) para” . Por lo tanto, se formaría con:

MATERY-INGLES I

It’s + la expresión quarter to + la hora de referencia ( aquella para la que falta un cuarto de
hora).
Ejemplo. It’s quarter to twelve, It’s quarter to three o It’s quarter to two.

HORAS : Otras Horas – Other Times

Para el resto de horas aplicamos el mismo principio. Lo único que debemos
saber es si los minutos pasan o no de la hora y media.
En función de eso decidiremos si utilizamos PAST o TO y cúal será

Algunos ejemplos:

PRESENTE SIMPLE

El present simple es uno de los tiempos verbales en inglés. Su uso correcto es muy
importante porque se utiliza para múltiples situaciones, las cuales podrás encontrar un poco
más abajo. Además, en este artículo conocerás sus usos principales, cómo se forma
(estructura), su conjugación y, para terminar, algunas excepciones o casos únicos.

Present simple: cómo se utiliza

El present simple en inglés es el tiempo verbal indicado cuando quieras expresar algunas
condiciones. Ejemplos:

• Guadalajara is the capital of Jalisco.

• Every four years is a leap year.
• I walk to my work.

Tip: Un error común es creer que el present simple sirve para hablar de las acciones o
estados que ocurren en el momento preciso en el que se habla. Esto es incorrecto. Para estas
situaciones se utiliza el presente continuo.

Present simple: estructura

Afirmativa Sujeto + verbo + complemento

Negativa Sujeto + auxiliar do/does not + verbo + complemento

Interrogativa Auxiliar do/does + sujeto + verbo + complemento

Conjugación del present simple

Para utilizar de la forma correcta el presente simple en inglés no basta con conocer su
estructura, sino que también es necesario saber cuál es la conjugación adecuada.

Present simple: conjugación

La tercera persona
Existen 4 reglas del present simple. Las primeras dos afectan a la tercera persona, mientras
las últimas dos afectan a todos los sujetos y conjugaciones. Son las siguientes:

1. A los verbos en present simple en la forma afirmativa se les agrega una -s al

final. En las formas negativa e interrogativa no llevan -s.

1.1. Con verbos cuya terminación es –o, -sh, -ch, -ss, -x, -z, se agrega –es. Aquí algunos
ejemplos:

MATERY-INGLES I

1.2 A los verbos terminados en –y se les cambia esta última letra por –i + -es.

Verbo Tercera persona

To study He studies

To notify She notifies

1.3 Los verbos terminados en –y tienen otra excepción. Si antes de dicha última letra hay
una vocal, la –y se conserva y al final se agrega –s.

recomendable aprenderse todas sus formas:

4. Los verbos modales (can, must, may) tienen dos excepciones:

4.1 No se les agrega –s ni –es.

Incorrecto: Your cat cans jump between trees.
Correcto: Your cat can jump between trees.
Incorrecto: She musts be in her office.
Correcto: She must be in her office.

4.2 Las formas negativas e interrogativas no usan auxiliar do/does, sino a sí mismos, es
decir:

Negativo: Your cat can not jump between trees
Interrogativo:Can your cat jump between trees?
• Must
Negativo: She must not be in her office
Interrogativo: Must she be in her office?

PRESENT CONTINUOUS
Seguramente hayas visto muchos verbos en inglés que terminan en -ING, ¿qué significa
esto? Los verbos que acaban con el gerundio -ING, que en español pueden traducirse a los
gerundios “-ando” y “-endo”, se asocian al presente continuo, Present Continuous en
inglés.

¿Qué es el presente continuo y cómo utilizarlo?

Son las cosas que hago en este momento. El Present Continuous es el “aquí y ahora”. A
diferencia con otras conjugaciones y tipos de presente en inglés, esta es la más fácil.
Muchas veces se confunde con el presente simple. Sin embargo, hay diferencias entre
el presente simple y continuo.

La fórmula (estructura) del presente continuo es muy sencilla: Sujeto + am/are/is (verbo
to be) + verbo acabado en -ing.

Describir lo que está ocurriendo aquí y ahora.

• My mum is cooking a dessert for Christmas Eve.

Mi madre está cocinando un postre para Nochebuena.

• I am studying for tomorrow’s exam.

Estoy estudiando para el examen de mañana.

Hablar de algo que está sucediendo ahora pero no necesariamente en ese preciso
momento.

• He is currently working at a restaurant.

Actualmente está trabajando en un restaurante.

• Alex is studying to get his driving license.

Álex está estudiando para sacarse el carné de conducir.

• We are getting married in Spain.

El modo afirmativo (Affirmative)

La fórmula (estructura) del presente continuo es muy sencilla: Sujeto + am/are/is (verbo
to be) + verbo acabado en -ing.

Por otro lado, si se trata del verbo to be, no se utiliza el verbo auxiliar, sino que se
