Lesson 1 English
Lesson 1 English
Vamos a empezar por conocer los equivalentes en ingls de los pronombres personales en castellano:
El pronombre personal tiene que concordar con el verbo, no obstante, los verbos ingleses, salvo los auxiliares, no varan, excepto en la tercera persona del singular:
I eat apples. You eat apples. He eats apples. Yo como manzanas Tu comes manzanas El come manzanas
El pronombre "it" (3 persona singular) se utiliza para objetos y animales, aunque a veces con estos ltimos se utiliza "he" (l) o "she" (ella):
I have a car. It is red. Yo tengo un coche. El es rojo

Pronombres personales (funcin de sujeto) Ejemplo Traduccin ejemplo
I am ill. You are tall. He is handsome. She is pretty. It is cold today. We are tired. You are angry. They are at the cinema.
Ejemplo
Yo estoy enfermo. T eres alto. / Usted es alto. l es guapo. Ella es guapa. Hoy hace fro. Nosotros estamos cansados. Vosotros estis enfadados. Ustedes estn enfadados. Ellos estn en el cine.
Traduccin ejemplo
Me
Can you help me? I can help you. Can you see him? Give it to her. Give it a kick. Can you see us? I see you. He can help them.
Puedes ayudarme? Puedo ayudarte. / Puedo ayudarle. Le puedes ver? Dselo a ella. Dale una patada. Nos puedes ver? Os veo. / Les veo. Les puede ayudar.
Nota: En ingls no existe la forma "usted" o "ustedes" formal. Por lo tanto los nativos de la lengua ni siquiera lo tienen conceptualizado como una forma aqu llamada "formal". Se tiene que entender entonces que la forma masculina, femenina y neutra son lo mismo, lo nico que les diferencia es el gnero. Adems, ten en cuenta que en ingls slo existe una forma para "tu" y "vosotros" - "you," excepto en la forma reflexiva que distingue entre el singular (yourself) y plural (yourselves).
Neuter Form (Forma neutra) Los pronombres en ingls distinguen entre masculino (he), femenino (she) y neutro (it), tal y como se muestra en la tabla de pronombres. El pronombre personal "it" se utiliza cuando nos referimos a cosas, a animales que no sabemos su sexo o al tiempo (calendario y meteorolgico). La forma plural de "it" es "they".
Ejemplos: Where is it [the book]? (Dnde est [el libro]?) What time is it? (Qu hora es?) It is raining. (Est lloviendo.) Nota: "It es una partcula muy importante en ingls de la que los hablantes de lengua espaola se suelen olvidar.
Function (Funcin) Dentro de los pronombres personales, el ingls distingue entre pronombres en funcin de sujeto y pronombres personales en funcin de objeto. 1. El pronombre en funcin de sujeto El sujeto de una oracin es la persona o cosa que realiza la accin del verbo. Se utilizan cuando el pronombre es el sujeto de la oracin. Este pronombre en ingls, a diferencia del espaol, debe figurar siempre. o Play I am ill. (Yo estoy enfermo.) o Subject = I o Play You are tal (toll). (T eres alto.) o Subject = you o Play He is handsome. (l es guapo.) o Subject = he o Play We are tired. (Nosotros estamos cansados.) o Subject = we 2. El pronombre en funcin de objeto Este pronombre se coloca detrs del verbo al que complementa o detrs de preposiciones como " for", "to", "with" y "at". o Play I can help you. (Puedo ayudarte.) o Subject = I, Object = you o Play Can you see him? (Puedes verle?) o Subject = you, Object = him o Play He is going to the party with us. (Est yendo a la fiesta con nosotros.) o Subject = he, Object = us o Play It [the letter] is for you. (Es [la carta] para ti.) o Subject = it, Object = you
Where are Tom and Kate living? ___________ live next to my house. They

Ejemplos: Play His bike is red. (Su bicicleta es roja.) Play The red bike is his. (La bici roja es suya.) Play My house is small. (Mi casa es pequea.) Play The small house is mine. (La casa pequea es ma.)
Function (Funcin) Los pronombres posesivos se clasifican en dos tipos segn su funcin en la oracin.
1. En funcin de artculo determinativo del sujeto Gramaticalmente funciona como un artculo determinativo del sustantivo al que acompaa, por lo tanto siempre va antes del objeto.
o o o
Ejemplos: Play My car is blue. (Mi coche es azul.) Play His house is big. (Su casa es grande.)
o o o
Ejemplos: Play The blue car is mine. (El coche azul es mo.) Play The big house is his. (La casa grande es suya.) Nota: Estos ejemplos responden a la pregunta, "De quin es?.
El genitivo "-s" no se ha de confundir con los pronombres posesivos. As podemos decir: Play Her dress... (Su vestido...[de ella]) O podemos decir:
Play Andrea's dress... (El vestido de Andrea...) En ambos casos expresamos un poseedor y un posedo, en este caso el vestido. En la primera frase, el pronombre posesivo femenino "her" indica que tanto el hablante como el oyente acaban de hacer referencia a la misma persona. En cambio en el segundo caso, el hablante quiere dar a conocer el nombre del poseedor. Grammatical Rules (Reglas gramaticales)
1. Siempre utilizamos el genitivo para referirnos a personas. Play Paul's house... (La casa de Paul...)
2. Cuando nos referimos a cosas o lugares utilizaremos la preposicin "of". Play The wheel of the bike... (La rueda de la bicicleta...)
Play Washington is the capital of the United States. (Washington es la capital de los Estados Unidos.)
3. Tambin podemos utilizar el genitivo al final de la oracin que acostumbra a ser la respuesta a una pregunta anterior. En estos casos no necesitamos el nombre.
Question (pregunta): Play Where is your sister? (Dnde est tu hermana?) Answer (repuesta): Play She is at my parent's. (Est en la casa de mis padres.)
o o o o
Question (pregunta): Play Whose house is this? (De quin es esta casa?) Answer (repuesta): Play It is Michael's. (Es de Miguel.) WARNING! Cuando el nombre de el poseedor termina en una "s", el genitivo se aade al final del poseedor, pero slo aadiendo el apostrofe "-" y no la "-s" del genitivo. Luis' house... (La casa de Luis....)
