Página | 1
INGLÉS – Nivel básico Prof. Daniela Heredia
Las presentaciones pueden ocurrir entre más de dos personas, por ejemplo, en una fiesta o en una reunión
de negocios. Cuando conoces a alguien por primera vez, es común saludarlo diciendo: "Es un placer
conocerte" o "Encantado de conocerte" (It’s a pleasure to meet you / Pleased to meet you). Es de buena
educación responder repitiendo la frase, como lo hace Mary en este ejemplo:
o Ken: Peter, I'd like you to meet Mary.

o Peter: It's a pleasure to meet you.
o Mary: It's a pleasure to meet you too!
o Ken: Mary works for...
 Introductions in Informal Situations (presentaciones en situaciones informales)
En situaciones informales, especialmente en América del Norte, las presentaciones también se hacen
simplemente diciendo: "This is… (name)". También es común decir "Hello" o "Hi" como respuesta en este
entorno informal.
o Ken: Peter, this is Mary.

o Peter: Hi. How are you?
o Mary: Hello! Pleased to meet you.
o Ken: Mary works for...
 Common introductions (Frases comunes para presentar)
Como se puede ver en los ejemplos anteriores, hay una serie de frases diferentes que se usan comúnmente
para presentar a extraños:
 (name), I don't think you've met (name).

 I don't think you know (name)
 May I introduce you to (name)
 (name), do you know (name)?
 (name), I'd like you to meet (name)

Explanation
 ADJECTIVES
What are they? Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns: enormous,
doglike, silly, yellow, fun, fast, etc. They can also describe the quantity of nouns: many, few, millions,
eleven, etc.
(¿Qué son? Los adjetivos son palabras que describen las cualidades o estados de ser de los sustantivos: enorme,

Note:
 When we use an adjective with a noun, the adjective goes before the noun: (Cuando usamos un
adjetivo con un sustantivo, el adjetivo va antes del sustantivo:)

 Adjectives don't change before a plural noun: (Los adjetivos no cambian antes de un sustantivo plural:)
They're blue jeans. (NOT They’re blues jeans.)
 We can also use adjectives without a noun, after the verb be. (También podemos usar adjetivos sin
sustantivo, después del verbo BE)
 Modifiers: very / really: We often use these words before adjectives. (Modificadores: muy /
realmente: a menudo usamos estas palabras antes de los adjetivos.)
"A Ferrari is very / really fast."
