Verb Tenses

The Happy Verby Gang

Comparative form

Comparatives: One Syllable words

El pasado simple

Usamos el pasado para hablar de situaciones que ocurrieron hace un tiempo Normalmente usamos adverbios de tiempo para apoyar la frase como: Ayer/Yesterday,la semana pasada/Last week. etc.

El interrogativo se hace con el auxiliar did y el infinitivo del verbo conjugado.
Did he play? = Jugó él?

La forma afirmativa con el pasado del verbo conjugado.
He played = Él jugó
We ate = Nosostros comimos

En el caso de los verbos irregulares se forma añadiendo "ed" al verbo


Si el verbo acaba en consonante + y la y se transforma en i al formar el pasado
Cry+ed= cried

Si el verbo acaba en e, se le añade sólo d.
decide+ed= decided

La forma negativa con didn't y el infinitivo del verbo conjugado.
He didn't play = Él no jugó

El pasado simple requiere el aprendizaje de los verbos irregulares. Aprendelos aquí

El presente continuo

Aquí podrás aprender a usar el presente continuo en inglés. Ver el vídeo y hacer los ejercicios.


El presente continuo en inglés se usa para acciones que se están realizando en el momento mismo en el que se habla.
She is eating = Ella está comiendo
They are drinking = Ellos están bebiendo

El presente continuo se forma con el verbo To be y el gerundio del verbo conjugado.

Recordemos que los gerundios que en castellano terminan en endo o en ando, en inglés terminan en ing.
Speaking = Hablando
Eating = Comiendo
Singing = Cantando
Drinking = Bebiendo



LA ORTOGRAFÍA DE "–ING"

A veces cuando añadimos a un verbo se producen algunos cambios en la escritura:

RUN >> U es vocal, N es consonante, hay una sola sílaba. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> RUNNING

STOP >> O es vocal, P es consonante, hay una sola sílaba. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> STOPPING.

-Si la palabra termina con –E, debes eliminar la –E y agregar –ING.

COME >> la palabra termina en –E y la eliminas. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> COMING

LOVE >> la palabra termina en –E y la eliminas. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> LOVING

-Si la palabra termina con DOS VOCALES + CONSONANTES, no debes duplicar la consonante. Simplemente agrega –ING

CLEAN >> la palabra termina en –EAN (2 vocales + 1 consonante), agrega –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> CLEANING

RAIN >> la palabra termina en –AIN (2 vocales + 1 consonante), agrega –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> RAINING

-Si la palabra termina con DOS CONSONANTES, no debes duplicar la consonante. Simplemente agrega –ING. Aquí tienes dos ejemplos para analizar:

HELP >> la palabra termina en –LP (2 consonantes), agrega –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> HELPING

WORK >> la palabra termina en –RK (2 consonantes), agrega –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> WORKING

-Si la palabra termina con –Y, no debes duplicar la consonante. Simplemente agrega –ING

PLAY >> la palabra termina en –Y ("i" griega o "ye"), agrega –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> PLAYING

STAY >> la palabra termina en –Y ("i" griega o "ye"), agrega –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> STAYING

-Si la palabra termina con –IE, debes cambiar –IE por Y antes de agregar –ING.

DIE >> la palabra termina en –IE, cambias –IE por Y, agregas –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> DYING

LIE >> la palabra termina en –IE, cambias –IE por Y, agregas –ING. Entonces la ortografía correcta es >> LYING


Nota: el verbo GO (ir) se traduce casi siempre como presente continuo. Cuando la acción está realizándose en ese momento y para in futuro inmediato.
