- Opera
Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is
conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the
lyrics. By contrast, in musical theater an actor's dramatic performance is primary, and the music
plays a lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theater such as
scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are sung rather than
spoken. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental
ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra.
Opera se refiere a una forma de arte dramtico, originarios de Europa, en la que el contenido

un actor es primario, y la msica juega un papel menor. El drama en la pera se presenta utilizando
los elementos principales del teatro como escenario, el vestuario, y de actuar. Sin embargo, las

Grammar
La estructura en ingls 'there was' y 'there were' se utiliza para expresar cantidad en pasado.
Vamos a ver un ejemplo para comprender a qu hacemos referencia.
Haba una mujer en el parque.

Haba dos mujeres en una cafetera.

CMO SE FORMA?
Lo nico que debemos tener en cuenta para usar esta estructura es si estamos hablando de
singular o plural, as como la forma correcta del verbo 'to be.'
AFIRMATIVA: Utilizamos there was con cuando hablamos en singular. Sin embargo, si
hablamos en plural utilizamos there were.
THERE

+ WAS/WERE + RESTO DE FRASE

Haba una mujer en el parque.

There was a woman in the park.

Haba dos mujeres en una cafetera.

There were two women in a caf.

* Recuerda que este verbo es impersonal y en espaol no existe diferencia para
singular y plural. En ingls si hacemos distincin.
NEGATIVA: Para hacer las negaciones negamos el verbo to be aadiendo la partcula
not detrs del verbo o con la forma contrada.
THERE

+ WASN'T/WEREN'T + RESTO DE FRASE

No haba una mujer en el parque.

There wasn't a woman in the park.

No haba dos mujeres en una cafetera.

There weren't two women in a caf.

* Podemos encontrar la forma completa 'there was not' o 'there were not', pero es
mucho ms comn la forma contrada.
INTERROGATIVA: Para la formacin de preguntas necesitamos invertir el verbo to be
y la partcula 'there', tal y como vemos en el ejemplo.
WAS/WERE

+ THERE + RESTO DE FRASE?

Haba una mujer en el parque?

Was there a woman in the park?

Haba dos mujeres en una cafetera?

Were there two women in a caf?

RESPUESTAS CORTAS: Para dar respuestas cortas debemos utilizar la forma
correspondiente del verbo 'to be' en pasado, respetando si es singular o plural.
Is there a woman in the park?

Yes, there was / No, there wasnt

Are there two women in a caf?

Yes, there were / No, there werent

* Utilizamos la forma completa en las respuestas afirmativas, mientras que
utilizamos la forma contrada en las respuestas negativas.

QU DEBO RECORDAR?
Los aspectos importantes que debemos tener en cuenta son los siguientes. Recuerda: Es
importante que conozcas el verbo To Be (Forma de Pasado), ya que te ayudar a comprender
mejor las formas usadas en este tiempo.
Recuerda que el verbo 'haber' en espaol es impersonal y por lo tanto no hay diferencia
entre singular y plural. Sin embargo, en ingls s distinguimos entre singular y plural.
Recuerda que no podemos traducir esta estructura literalmente, por lo que es importante
reconocerla para utilizarla correctamente.
A veces puedes ver esta estructura con el nombre 'there to be', para hacer referencia al
verbo 'haber' en general.
Este verbo suele combinarse con las partculas 'some' y 'any' para indicar cantidad.
