THE PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE
P P F
Esta línea imaginaria del tiempo nos muestra que el presente simple se extiende desde el pasado hasta el
presente y dentro del futuro, no se refiere a un momento en particular, abarca todo el tiempo; pasado,
presente y futuro, indicando el estado del hecho, sin hacer referencia al mismo. Las (x), sobre la línea,
representa acciones en un punto específico en el tiempo.
1 - DEFINITION
A - El presente simple lo utilizamos para indicar acciones de: hábitos, rutinas, acciones repetitivas,
descripciones, estados generales y universalmente ciertos, emociones y deseos permanentes.
B - No se utiliza para indicar tiempo presente. En cambio, si describe verdades y estados que generalmente
son ciertos.
C – El presente simple no se utiliza para hablar de lo que está sucediendo en este momento, para ese caso
utilizamos el presente continuo, que lo veremos más adelante.
D - Utilizamos los adverbios de frecuencia como marcadores, para indicarnos con qué frecuencia se repite la
acción, y son los siguientes: ALWAYS, OCCASIONALLY, SELDOM, NEVER, OFTEN, RARELY, SOMETIMES,
CONTINUOUSLY, RARELY, HARDLY EVER, CONSTANTLY, NORMALLY, REGULARLY, FREQUENTLY.
E - Forma: lo formamos con el sujeto y el verbo. Si el sujeto es 3ra. Persona le agregamos (s) al final del
verbo.
2 – She likes to dance. El verbo Like lleva la (s) porque She es tercera persona.
F - Con frecuencia, este tiempo se llama el tiempo habitual, ya que se utiliza para acciones habituales
repetitivas, para describir rutinas diarias o actividades regulares. Para este caso utilizamos los marcadores
de tiempo: Every day, every week, every month, every term, every meal, every year, every time, estos nos
muestran que las acciones son repetitivas.
A – You walk for two hundred meters, then you turn left.
C – You take the bus No.6 to Mercacentro, and then No. 10 to dawntown.
I stretch everyday.
Utilizamos el pasado simple para indicar que una acción en el pasado, finalizo y quedo terminada.

Villavicencio, I lived a very interesting experience, where I made friendships, which were very
important at that time. When I met the city it was filled with culture, with very interesting
landscapes, a city that was the cradle of the joropo, the coleo, the meat to the mamona and of
myths. Villavicencio was a place where I lived most of my childhood and adolescence.

La idea principal resume el texto (sea este un párrafo, un capítulo, un texto corto, un libro, etc.)
en una sola frase u oración. Si se omite, el texto pierde sentido. La idea principal expresa el
aspecto esencial del texto. La idea principal es apoyada por ideas secundarias que la explican,
aclaran o especifican. La idea principal puede ser explícita o implicita. Es explícita cuando está
escrita en el texto. Es implícita cuando no está escrita en el texto y el lector debe inferirla. La
idea principal explícita suele aparecer al principio o al final del párrafo.

de la Alcaldia. Allí hay bancas de piedra. El segundo parque es el mejor. Allí están los juegos
para los niños. El tercer parque es muy bonito. Es pequeño. Tiene varios nombres. Uno de los
nombres es Plazuela Venezuela.
1. Leo el título: Los parques de San Felipe. Veo la ilustración de un parque. Supongo que
este texto trata sobre parques de San Felipe y que son varios.
2. Cuando leo el texto, me doy cuenta que trata sobre los parques y que son tres.
También, explica un poco de cada uno, por lo cual, creo que la idea principal es la
primera línea del texto: San Felipe es un municipio de Venezuela que tiene tres parques.
3. Vuelvo a leer el texto y confirmo que la idea principal es: San Felipe es un municipio de
Venezuela que tiene tres parques. Las otras oraciones explican cuáles y cómo son esos
tres parques.
IDEAS SECUNDARIAS
La idea en torno a la cual gira la información se denomina idea dominante. Pero, no todas las ideas
dominantes tienen la misma relevancia; Habrá, entonces, qué diferenciar entre ideas principales e
ideas secundarias.
Las ideas principales representan o expresan una información primordial para el desarrollo del tema
que se trata
RESUMEN
IDEA PRINCIPAL
La idea principal se puede encontrar en un párrafo del texto,
también se puede encontrar en la primera línea de un párrafo o
incluso puede estar de manera implícita en las técnicas que el autor
utilice.
• Expresa la afirmación más general; esto es, la que abarca y da
sentido a las demás ideas del párrafo
• Afirma lo más importante e imprescindible; si se suprime esta
idea, el párrafo queda incompleto
• A veces, se indica explícitamente que es la idea principal, con
expresiones como: “Lo más importante…”, “Lo principal…”,
“Destaquemos…”, “Concluyendo…”, “En resumen”, etc.

ON TOP OF THE WORLD
“Imagine, you are 23 years old, trapped in an ice cave for 14 days by a sub-zero blizzard on the summit of New Zealand’s
highest peak.
You are starving and freezing to death. You wake up in hospital to find that you have lost both legs below the knees due to
frostbite.
What do you do next? If you are Mark Inglis, you climb Mount Everest, of course.” The first ever double amputee to scale Mt
Everest says life is for him is all about participation and he believes we are all here to make a difference.
New Zealand’s Mark Inglis made history when reached the ‘roof of the world’ in May, 2006. While many would see this as
the ‘pinnacle’ of achievement, for Inglis, Everest is one of many accomplishments in a life full of conquests.Born in
September 1959, Mark had a passion and love of the outdoors since childhood. In 1979, he began work as a professional
search and rescue mountaineer for Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. In November 1982, Mark and his climbing partner
Philip Doole became trapped near the summit of Mt Cook in atrocious weather, a storm that was to last 13-and-a-half days.
The resulting stay in the ice cave – now known as Middle Peak Hotel – resulted in both men’s legs becoming badly frost
bitten. The rescue of the two climbers was a major media event in New Zealand, with the country gripped by the dramatic
incident. When rescued, Inglis and Doole were near starved and close to death. Following the rescue, both Mark’s legs
were amputated below the knee. He was 23 years old.
Mark: Probably lucky I don’t have a crystal ball, as I love the surprises that life delivers. My path is sharing those things that I
treasure; the mountains, climbing, cycling – experiences and places where no other human has been. I’ll continue to
encourage confidence and attitude, enabling people to step beyond that edge. One thing I have learned, it is very easy to sit
back, but essential that you don’t.
Mark: Knowledge and faith – Knowledge, as in we were in a unique situation being SAR mountaineers; we had seen,
experienced and trained for this, so we could make the decisions that would allow us to survive, despite knowing that we
might at least lose a few toes. Faith, in that we knew we would be rescued; it was just a matter of when, not if. Hence our
job, our focus, especially after about day five when we recognized there was little likelihood of self rescue, was simply to
survive.
at what point did you realize you were in serious trouble?
Mark: Pretty much as soon as we put our head over the summit ridge at about 6pm in the evening. The scale of the storm
meant that the only option was to try and fight our way down to Porter Col but within metres, we knew we had to get
out of the wind. It really was like an evil thing trying to beat you to death. As we climbed into Middle Peak ‘Hotel’ we
were optimistic that the weather would clear, but with each passing hour the gravity of the situation increased.
Mark: In some ways – always, but in others, never. It would have been so nice to have been spirited off the mountain,
but then reality hits. It won’t happen, and everything next is all up to you.
As the result of the loss of his legs, Mark was forced to change his career. At the age of 25, he attended Lincoln University
and graduated with a BSc Hons 1st Class degree in Biochemistry in 1989. But the sporting arena still beckoned and Mark
relished the opportunity to compete at national and international level in Disabled Alpine Skiing, gaining one gold, two
silvers and two bronze medals in 1990, 1991 and 1996. Mark also competed at an international level in Disabled Road
Cycling, first representing New Zealand at the World Championships in Colorado Springs 1998 and ranked ninth in the
World.
In 1999, he was named in the New Zealand team to the Southern Cross Multidisability Games in Sydney, where he
collected Bronze, Silver and Gold medals for his efforts. At the 2000 Sydney Paralympic Games, Mark rode to twelfth in
the Road Race and a career highlight of Silver in the Kilo (1000m individual time trial), New Zealand’s first ever
Paralympic Cycling medal and the first medal awarded at those Olympics.
Mark: It’s been staged across the whole of my life since. Post-amputation, by two months you should have legs and be
walking. After six months, you are pretty much stable and ‘recovered’, but it’s about eighteen months to two years
before your stumps are really settled down enough to explore what is truly possible – and that’s far more than anyone
thinks.
Mentally, how did this experience affect you? What are some of the challenges?
Mark: On the surface, you keep smiling and pushing the limits, but that masks the real ‘day by day’, ‘hour by hour’, hard
slog. It’s about keeping constantly positive while hitting a multitude of stumbling blocks. I’ve battled others’ perceptions
(other amputees and the general community) of what is possible, especially around technology. Artificial limb technology
isn’t a lot different from the 1960s or 70s – it’s really just comfort and material changes. So while my ‘normal’ walking
legs let me do 99% of everything, I love being in that 1% space; hence I’ve explored design and built specialist legs.

ON TOP OF THE WORLD
“Imagine, you are 23 years old, trapped in an ice cave for 14 days by a
sub-zero blizzard on the summit of New Zealand’s highest peak.
You are starving and freezing to death. You wake up in hospital to find
that you have lost both legs below the knees due to frostbite.
discovered that he has lost both legs below the knees due to frostbite.
In New Zealand.
What do you do next?
If you are Mark Inglis, you climb Mount Everest, of course.”
The first ever double amputee to scale Mt Everest says life is for him is
all about participation and he believes we are all here to make a
difference.
New Zealand’s Mark Inglis made history when reached the ‘roof of the
world’ in May, 2006
2 – Por que hizo historia Mark Inglis al alcanzar el techo del mundo?
R =Por que es el primer doble amputado que escalo el Everest.
While many would see this as the ‘pinnacle’ of achievement, for Inglis,
Everest is one of many accomplishments in a life full of conquests.
Born in September 1959, Mark had a passion and love of the outdoors
since childhood. In 1979, he began work as a professional search and
rescue mountaineer for Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.
To outdoor activities.
In 1979.
In November 1982, Mark and his climbing partner Philip Doole became
trapped near the summit of Mt Cook in atrocious weather, a storm that
was to last 13-and-a-half days.
The resulting stay in the ice cave – now known as Middle Peak Hotel –
resulted in both men’s legs becoming badly frost bitten.
Faith, in that we knew we would be rescued; it was just a matter of when, not if.
Hence our job, our focus, especially after about day five when we recognized
there was little likelihood of self-rescue, was simply to survive.
