OBJECTIVES:

1) Identificar y usar las formas del tiempo presente continuo.

2) Diferenciar, usar y practicar las estructuras del presente simple y continuo.
3) Familiarizarse con el vocabulario relacionado con prendas de vestir.
4) Describir lo que la gente usa o está usando de acuerdo con diferentes situaciones comunicativas o
imágenes
INTRODUCTION:

Apreciado estudiante en esta guía encontrará actividades comunicativas que lo llevarán a comprender
cuándo y cómo debe usar el presente continuo en sus formas afirmativa, negativa e interrogativa.
Además, podrá diferenciar el uso del presente simple o el presente continuo según el propósito
comunicativo que desee alcanzar: Dar información general, hablar sobre rutinas, describir una acción
o evento que se está realizando, etc. The important thing is that each exercise and suggested resource
can orient you to comprehend the simple present and continuous present forms, meaning and use. If
you have any doubt, don’t hesitate to contact me. In the same way, you are going to review and to
learn some new words and forms to describe people’s clothing.
La guía se desarrolla en tres unidades principales. Espero que sea de su agrado.
Para iniciar le sugiero describir en inglés algunas de sus actividades diarias usando oraciones simples
(sujeto + verbo + complemento)
For example: I take a shower every day
1. I do homework in the afternoons
2. I get up at 8am
3. I have lunch every day
4. I put on makeup after bathing
5. I watch tv at night

Ahora describa lo que usted y su familia se encuentra haciendo en este momento, use la estructura:
sujeto + to be (am/is/are)+ ving + complement.

For example: My dad is watching a movie

1. Jonathan is washing the dishes
2. Martha is talking to the neighbor
3. My cousin is cooking dinner
4. My grandfather is eating soup
5. I am doing my English homework
Analicemos los dos ejemplos anteriores: I take a shower every day and My dad is watching a movie
now.
En el primer ejemplo “I take a shower” hace referencia a una acción diaria – a daily action
Mientras que la segunda oración “My dad is watching a movie now” describe lo que la persona (my
dad) está haciendo en el momento – viendo televisión, es decir, ahora (NOW).
Now (ahora) será tu palabra clave (keyword) para comprender que la acción se está ejecutando.

NOW
Every day

Garfield eats every day. Garfield is eating lasagne

What is Garfield doing (now)? He is eating lasagna (Present continuous)
What does Garfield do every day? He eats every day. He loves food. (Simple present)

Lesson 1
Present Continuous Tense
Como podemos observar en los ejemplos anteriores el presente continuo o presente progresivo hace
referencia a una acción que ocurre en el momento en que se está describiendo o hablando sobre ella
“actions happening at the time of speaking”.

Luisa is singing Colombian music (Luisa está cantando música colombiana)

La oración en presente continuo está compuesta por dos verbos : To Be (estar) y el verbo que
describe la acción y al cual le pondremos ING al final para indicar que la acción se está ejecutando
(terminación ando-endo en espanol) como sucede en la oración: Singing- cantando.
Veamos a continuación la conjugación del presente continuo en su forma afirmativa :

Taken from : https://medium.com/@gmbley/present-continuous-e78db8587d5

Es clave conjugar el verbo To be de acuerdo con la persona del pronombre al que hace referencia
(am, is, are) y agregar la terminación ING al verbo que se refiere a la acción específica que se está
ejecutando: work – working (trabajando)

My father is working at home ( My padre está trabajando en casa)

Ahora bien, para agregar ING al verbo debemos tener en cuenta algunas reglas para su escritura.

Now, let’s practice

De acuerdo con la terminación de los verbos y con las reglas de escritura, agrega ING a los siguientes
verbos. Además, escribe su significado y crea una oración en presente continuo.
VERB VERB + ING MEANING SENTENCE
Make Making Haciendo Margot is making a salad
See seeing Viendo My cat is seeing at a butterfly.
Pay paying Pagando I am paying for a cake.
Untie Untying Desatando I am untying my shoelaces.
Swim Swimming Nadando Luisa is swimming in the pool.
Leave Leaving Saliendo Mauricio is leaving the hospital.
Try Trying Intentando Maria is trying to open a jar.
Sit Sitting Sentando Emma was sitting on a stool.
Buy Buying Comprando Paula is buying a dress.
Come Coming viniendo Jorge is coming here.
Ski Skiing Esquiando Arley is skiing down the
mountain.
Smoke Smoking fumando They are smoking cigars.
 Push pushing Empujando Carlos is pushing the door.
Cut Cutting cortando Marlon is cutting paper.

Para las formas negativa e interrogativa del presente continuo, el verbo To be , que es un verbo
auxiliar recibirá la negación (en la oración negativa) o cambiará de posición para hacer la pregunta
(en la forma interrogativa), como se observa a continuación.

Make informative, negative and interrogative sentences as in the examples:

The cooker is making

The cooker isn’t making

Is the cooker making

I am helping

I am not helping
Am I helping

We are doing
We aren’t doing
Are we doing

She is studying
She isn’t studying
Is she studying

Lesson 2
When do we use the present simple or the present continuous?

A continuación, conocerá los usos más comunes del presente simple y presente continuo. Además,
realizará ejercicios de práctica que le permitirán afianzar sus conocimientos.

PRESENT SIMPLE USE PRESENT CONTINUOUS USE

1.  For facts or things that are always true or 1. An action happening right now at the
generally true moment of speaking.

The weather is hot in summer Marina is talking at the phone

You can find oysters at the beach My father is reading a book
The baby is sleeping right now
2. For regular habits or repeated actions 2. To talk about and action in progress that
hasn’t been finished yet (probably it is not
For example: being developed at that exact moment)

I brush my teeth after each meal My mom is mending my pants

The teacher is planning the lesson
My dad eats soup for lunch
The architect is designing the project
The students go to school on weekdays
You are learning English
We get up early on Mondays

Important Note: Ciertos verbos en inglés son usados comúnmente sólo en el presente simple
The following verbs are usually only used in Simple Present (not in the progressive form).
▪ state: be, cost, fit, mean, suit
Example: We are on holiday.

▪ possession: belong, have
Example: Sam has a cat.

LESSON 3
What are you wearing?
Iniciaremos con un repaso sobre vocabulario relacionado con la ropa y los accesorios.
Click on this link to review the vocabulary about clothing , repeat and take notes of the new words:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m9tDeLEbI4

COGNITIVE APPROPRIATION

FIRST: Para describir lo que una persona está usando vamos a usar el verbo TO WEAR (Llevar puesto).
Si vamos a describir lo que una persona lleva puesto , usaremos el presente continuo ( subject + to be
+ wearing + clothing). For example:

Ana is wearing sunglasses

Ana is wearing hoop earrings

Ana is wearing a black dress

Ana is wearing a watch

Ana is wearing stockings

Ana is wearing a bracelet

Ana is wearing black boots

Now, it’s your turn to describe what this man is wearing!

He is wearing sunglasses.

He is wearing a white shirt.

He is wearing a clock.

He is wearing brown belt.

He is wearing blue pants.

He is wearing brown shoes.

SECOND: Si el énfasis está en hacer referencia al estilo de vestir de una persona o a una prenda en
general que alguien usualmente viste usamos presente simple.

For example :

I usually wear jackets and jeans at the University

My sister wears sweaters of different colors

My mother does not wear skirts

Do you wear sandals?

Does he wear leather jackets?

THIRD: Remember

Si deseas mencionar en la oración una característica de la ropa: short, tight, beautiful, blue, colorful,
expensive, etc…

Debes poner primero la cualidad y luego mencionar la prenda. Así:

Diego is wearing blue jeans

Adjetivo sustantivo

and nice shoes

People wear wool sweaters in Tunja
Adriana doesn't wear high heels
I don't wear dark makeup He wears comfortable sport suits at
Camilo is wearing a nice cheap black T-shirt
We are wearing silver bracelets
Nelly and Joseph are not wearing good masks
 T-shirt Hat High-heeled Coat Tie Pyjamas

Dress Glasses Skirt Watch

Jacket Swimsuit

Slippers Blouse

Mittens Scarf

Shirt Sunglasses

Socks Sandals Belt Waistcoat Suit Jeans

Shoes Bots Trainers Shorts Gloves Trousers
