Articles: a, an, or the?

▪ Prepara la clase para tus alumnos.
▪ Aquí te dejo una breve explicación del uso de los artículos “a”, “an” y “the”.
▪ Despues de repasar la información pueden resumirla y posteriormente realizar un mapa de
conceptos para mejorar la comprensión. (La explicación tambien está en el cuadernillo de los
alumnos)
‘The’ frente a ‘A’ / ‘An’
Una buena regla de oro es preguntar si el nombre que está siendo modificado es el único de su clase o si
existe más de una forma/caso. Si es el único de su clase o usted se está refiriendo a solo un ejemplo
específico, utilice ‘the’:
• The assay was conducted to identify the organism responsible for the outbreak. (Esta oración se refiere a
un ensayo, organismo y brote específico.)
• Fíjese: Los artículos normalmente no aparecen en los títulos, secciones de encabezamientos y leyendas de
figuras. ("The effect of different culture temperatures on bacterial growth kinetics" y "The characterization
of a new ginsenoside compound" ambos deben incluir 'the' porque se mencionan resultados específicos.)
Sin embargo, si el nombre que usted está modificando es uno entre muchos (por ejemplo, un ejemplo o
un solo miembro de un grupo), usted debe usar ‘a’ o ‘an’:
• A standard genome sequencing protocol was used to identify an exciting new species of Escherichia. (El
protocolo usado fue uno de los múltiples protocolos de secuenciación disponibles, y otras especies
de Escherichia ya han sido identificadas).
Otras veces en las que usar ‘the’ (y veces en las que NO se usa)
Si usted se está refiriendo a un sustantivo como representativo de cada caso/individuo (por ejemplo, una
discusión general), puede ser adecuado usar ‘the’ con la forma singular del sustantivo. ‘The’ se usa
principalmente en la redacción académica cuando se hace referencia a las máquinas, animales y órganos
corporales.
• The smartphone has made it easier for employees to work from home.
• The dolphin is considered one of the smartest animals.
• The lung contains over 300 million alveoli.
• Fíjese: Es más común usar la forma en plural del nombre en casos como estos, pero recuerde omitir el
artículo. (Smartphones have made it easier for employees to work from home. Dolphins are considered
some of the smartest animals. Lungs contain over 300 million alveoli.)
Sin embargo, no todos los sustantivos requieren un artículo cuando se usan de esta forma general. Los
sustantivos totales (o sustantivos incontables), los cuales se refieren a cosas abstractas o incontables, no
necesitan un artículo:
• Temperature can be expressed in Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.

• Knowledge is the key to happiness. (Pero: "The knowledge that she was receiving an award made her
happy" requiere un artículo debido a que se está haciendo referencia a un entendimiento específico.)
La mayoría de los nombres propios (tales como los nombres de países o personas) tampoco requieren un
artículo:
• Tesla was one of the greatest inventors of all time.

• The samples were collected in Hebei Province.
• Los nombres propios colectivos son una excepción: the Middle East and the Great Lakes
• Cuando el nombre de una persona es parte de una teoría, prueba, etc., puede ser más natural usar 'the'
(por ejemplo, “the Doppler effect” o “the Riemann hypothesis”). Sin embargo, usted no debe usar 'the' si el
nombre es posesivo (por ejemplo, Tukey's test, Riemann's hypothesis).
‘A’ frente a ‘An’
‘A’ se usa delante de palabras que empiezan con sonidos consonantes (“a sample” o “a model”), incluso si
el sonido consonante se hace por medio de una vocal (“a unit”). Por el contrario, ‘an’ se usa delante de
palabras que empiezan con sonidos vocálicos (“an equation” o “an element”), incluso si la palabra empieza
con una consonante muda (“an hour”).

Productos contables y no contables
▪ Prepara la clase para tus alumnos y contesta los ejercicios antes de hacerlo con tus estudiantes, así
podrás repasar si tienes alguna duda.
▪ Aquí te dejo una breve explicación del uso de contables y no contables.
▪ Repasa la información con tus estudiantes y contesta los ejemplos que aparecen en las páginas
siguientes. Si lo crees conveniente puedes distribuir el tema en 2 sesiones
¿Contable o incontable?
Sustantivos contables
Son aquellos que tienen una forma singular y plural.
• Where is the cucumber? It is in the fridge.
• Where are the cucumbers? They are in the fridge.
• Podemos usar los artículos indeterminados en inglés: ‘a’ y ‘an’.
• Podemos contarlos usando números: a cucumber, one cucumber, 2 cucumbers, 4 cucumbers.
Sustantivos incontables
Son aquellos que tienen una única forma y solo admiten el verbo en singular.
• Is there any bread left?
• No podemos usar ‘a’ o ‘an’.
• La forma no varía, siempre es bread.
• No podemos contarlos sin ayudarnos de otras palabras. Sería incorrecto decir one bread, two
breads. Necesitamos añadir otras palabras que nos permitan cuantificarlos: a piece of bread, grain
of sugar, a useful bit of advice, etc.
So, let’s try to make this clear!
Con sustantivos contables usamos: few, a few, fewer, many, several.
Con sustantivos incontables usamos: little, a little, less, least, much.
Contables
• Few apples.
• A few suitcases.
• Fewer biscuits.
• Many students.
• Several years.
Incontables
• Little food.
• A little sugar.
• Less coffee.
• The least amount of time.
• Not much money.
Ejemplos de nombres incontables:
Algunos pueden ser contables e incontables:

It’s been a pleasure doing business with you. (hacer negocios)
Have you read the works of Shakespeare? (obras)

Contractions: Complete list of contractions
▪ La información aparece en la guía de tus estudiantes, cuida que entiendan cada parrafo; al estar en
otro idioma pueden sugrir dudas pero favorecerá la habilidad lectora en tus alumnos.
A contraction is a shortened form of words or phrases. They are formed by removing

one or more letters from a word or words replacing the letter or letters with an
apostrophe. Contractions also allow us to form one short word from two single words.
Contractions are very popular in the English language, so it is

important that you understand them and know how to use them.
Tips for using contractions in writing:
1. Feel free to use contractions in friendly letters and informal writing. Contractions shorten words
in English and many people use them in their informal writing.
2. Limit the use of contractions in formal writing (business letters, essays, reports, speeches,
professional e-mails). Use contractions in formal writing only when it would sound stranger to not
use them.
3. Use contractions in quoted text if the original quote contains contractions. You should not
change the original quote, even if you are writing a formal essay.

WH Questions
▪ La información aparece en la guía de tus estudiantes, así que pueden leer en plenaria la
información para despejar dudas.
▪ Este tipo de preguntas son importantes para la lectura de comprensión en el examen de admisión.
¡Que no pasen desapercibidas!
Las WH-Question Words son partículas interrogativas que utilizamos para hacer preguntas en inglés. Suelen
causar mucha confusión a principiantes ya que se escriben de manera muy similar [empiezan por wh- (.who,
where) o contienen wh (HoW)]. Éstas son:
WHO, WHOSE, WHAT, WHICH, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW
WHO > Se utiliza para preguntar por alguien y significa "quién" o "quienes".
Who ate the cake? (¿Quién se comió la tarta?)
Who did you see yesterday? (¿A quién viste ayer?)
Who were those men you were with? (¿Quienes eran esos hombres con los que estabas?)
WHOSE > se utiliza para expresar posesión en forma de pregunta y significa "de quién" o "de quienes".
Whose jacket is this? (¿De quién es esta chaqueta?)
Whose jackets are these? ¿De quienes son estas chaquetas?)
WHAT > se utiliza para preguntar por algo y significa "qué", "cual" o "cuales".
What did you say? (¿Qué has dicho?)
What is the capital of Argentina? (¿Cuál es la capital de Argentina?)
Variantes:
-What + nombre
What colour are her eyes? (¿De qué color son sus ojos?)
What time is it? (¿Qué hora es?)
What day is it today? (¿Qué día es hoy?)
--> podemos añadir sort of, kind of or type of para preguntar por "qué tipo de", "qué clase de".
What sort of music do you listen to? (¿Qué tipo de música escuchas?)
What kind of clothes do you like? (¿Qué tipo de ropa te gusta?)
What type of person are you? (¿Qué clase de persona eres?)
WHICH > suele confundirse con what ya que también significa "qué" o "cuál". La diferencia es que which se
utiliza para preguntar por algo cuando hay varias opciones.
There are four jackets. Which is yours? (Hay cuatro chaquetas. ¿Cuál es la tuya?) (cuál de las cuatro)
We can take bus 10, 20 or 25. Which goes to the city centre? (Podemos coger el autobús número 10, 20 o
25. ¿Cuál (de ellos) va al centro?)
Variantes:
- Which + nombre
Which bus did you take: 10, 20 or 25? (¿Qué autobús cogiste: el 10, el 20 o el 25?)
Which teacher did you talk to: Amanda or Lewis? (¿Con qué profesor hablaste: con Amando o con Lewis?)
Compara:
What is the tallest building in the world? (¿Cuál es el edificio más alto del mundo?)
Which is taller: The Eiffel Tower or The Empire State? (¿Cuál es más alto: la torre Eiffel o el Empire State?)
What colour are her eyes? (¿De qué color tiene los ojos?)
Which colour do you prefer: red or black? (¿Qué color prefieres: rojo o negro?)
WHERE > se utiliza para preguntar por un lugar y significa "dónde" o "adónde".
Where were you born? (¿Dónde naciste?)
Where are you from? (¿De dónde eres?)
Where is the museum? (¿Dónde está el museo?)
WHEN > significa"cuándo".

When is your birthday? (¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños?)
When did she arrive? (¿Cuándo llegó?)
WHY > se utiliza cuando queremos pregunte el porqué de algo. Significa "por qué".
Why are you sad? (¿Por qué estás triste?)
Why didn't you tell me? (¿Por qué no me lo dijiste?)
--> a este tipo de preguntas se contesta con "because", que significa "porque".
Why is she happy? (¿Por qué está feliz?)
Because she passed her exam (porque aprobó el examen)
HOW > Se utiliza cuando queremos preguntar "cómo" o "cuán".

How are you? (¿Cómo estás?)
How was the party? (¿Cómo estuvo la fiesta?)
How do you go to work? (¿Cómo vas a trabajar?)
--> Variantes de how. La traducción de how variará en función del adjetivo o sustantivo que lleve detrás.
How much > "¿Cuánto? (incontables)

How much is this t-shirt? (¿Cuánto cuesta esta camiseta?)
How much water do you drink? (¿Cuánta agua bebes?)
How many > "¿Cuánto? (contables)

How many friends do you have? (¿Cuántos amigos tienes?)

She never goes to the cinema (ella nunca va al cine)
How often do you go to the gym? (¿Con qué frecuencia vas al gimnasio?)

How + adjetivo > Se utiliza para pregunta "cómo de", "cuán": how big (cómo de grande, cuán grande), how
tall (cómo de alto, cuán alto), how far (cómo de lejos, cuán lejos).... Como decíamos antes, la traducción
de how variará en función del adjetivo que lleve detrás e intentaremos que sea lo más natural posible en
nuestra lengua materna.
How big is your car? (¿Qué tamaño tiene tu coche?)

How tall is he? (¿Cuánto mide?)
How far is it from here to the airport? (¿Qué distancia hay de aquí al aeropuerto?)
How old are you? (¿Cuántos años tienes?)

Present perfect
Formación del "present perfect"
▪ La información aparece en la guía de tus estudiantes, puedes explicar el tema en 2 o 3 sesiones
para evitar confusiones en los tiempos verbales.
El "present perfect" de cualquier verbo está compuesto por dos elementos: la forma apropiada del verbo
auxiliar to have (en presente) y el "past participle" del verbo principal. La forma del "past participle" de un
verbo regular es raíz+ed, e.g. played, arrived, looked. En cuanto a los verbos irregulares, consulta la Tabla
de verbos irregulares de la sección 'Verbos'.
Afirmativa

FUNCIONES DEL "PRESENT PERFECT"
El "present perfect" se emplea para señalar un vínculo entre el presente y el pasado. El tiempo en que
transcurre la acción es anterior al presente pero inespecífico y, a menudo, recae un mayor interés sobre
el resultado que sobre la propia acción.
¡CUIDADO! Puede que, en tu idioma, exista un tiempo verbal con una estructura similar pero es probable
que su significado NO sea el mismo.
EL "PRESENT PERFECT" SE UTILIZA PARA DESCRIBIR
▪ Una acción o situación iniciada en el pasado y que continúa en el presente. I have lived in Bristol
since 1984 (= todavía vivo allí.)
▪ Una acción realizada durante un periodo de tiempo aún no concluido. Shehas beento the cinema
twice this week (= la semana todavía no ha terminado.)
▪ Una acción repetida en un periodo temporal inespecífico situado entre el pasado y el

presente. We have visited Portugal several times.
▪ Una acción que ha concluido en un pasado muy reciente, lo que se indica mediante 'just'. I have
just finished my work.
▪ Una acción para la cual no es importante el momento preciso en que aconteció. He has read 'War
and Peace'. (= lo relevante es el resultado de la acción)
Nota: Cuando queremos dar o pedir información sobre cuándo, dónde o quién, empleamos el "simple
past".
ACCIONES INICIADAS EN EL PASADO Y QUE CONTINÚAN EN EL PRESENTE

▪ They haven't lived here for years.
▪ She has worked in the bank for five years.
▪ We have had the same car for ten years.
▪ Have you played the piano since you were a child?
CUANDO SE HACE REFERENCIA A UN PERIODO TEMPORAL INACABADO

▪ We have eaten at that restaurant many times.
ACCIONES CONCLUIDAS EN UN PASADO MUY RECIENTE (+JUST)

Condicionales
▪ La información aparece en la guía de tus estudiantes, por lo tanto se puede trabajar en plenaria.
▪ El tema de CONDITIONALS o CONDICIONALES se trabaja a lo largo de este bloque, puedes utilizar
una o dos sesiones para trabajar con cada una.
Los condicionales se emplean para especular acerca de lo que podría ocurrir, lo que puede haber ocurrido
y lo que desearíamos que ocurriese. En inglés, la mayoría de las oraciones que emplean el tiempo verbal
condicional contienen el término "if". Muchas de las construcciones condicionales del inglés se utilizan en
oraciones que incluyen verbos en pasado. Este uso se denomina "el pasado irreal" porque empleamos un
tiempo verbal de pasado pero no estamos refiriéndonos a algo que haya sucedido realmente. Hay cinco
formas principales de construir oraciones condicionales en inglés. En todos los casos, se componen de una
proposición o cláusula con "if" y una proposición principal. En muchas oraciones condicionales negativas
existe una construcción alternativa equivalente que usa "unless" en lugar de "if".
Tipo de oración Uso Tiempo verbal de la Tiempo verbal de la

CONDICIONAL TIPO CERO

El "zero conditional" se utiliza cuando el tiempo al que nos referimos es ahora o siempre y la situación
es real y posible. Este tipo de condicional suele emplearse para hablar de hechos generales. El tiempo
verbal de ambas proposiciones es el "simple present". En las oraciones condicionales de tipo 0, el término
"if" puede normalmente sustituirse por "when" sin que cambie el significado.
Proposición "if" Proposición principal
If + simple present simple present
If this thing happens that thing happens.
If you heat ice it melts.
If it rains the grass gets wet.
Ejemplos:
▪ If you heat ice, it melts.

▪ Ice melts if you heat it.

The Tale of the Three Brothers
There were once three brothers who were travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the
brothers reached a river too deep to wade through and too dangerous to swim across. However, these
brothers were learned in the magical arts, and so they simply waved their wands and made a bridge appear
across the treacherous water. They were halfway across it when they found their path blocked by a hooded
figure.
And Death spoke to them. He was angry that he had been cheated
out of three new victims, for travellers usually drowned in the river.
But Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three
brothers upon their magic, and said that each had earned a prize
for having been clever enough to evade him.
So the oldest brother, who was a combative man, asked for a wand
more powerful than any in existence: a wand that must always win
duels for its owner, a wand worthy of a wizard who had conquered
Death! So Death crossed to an elder tree on the banks of the river,
fashioned a wand from a branch that hung there, and gave it to
the oldest brother.
Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further,
and asked for the power to recall others from Death. So Death picked up a stone from the riverbank and
gave it to the second brother, and told him that the stone would have the power to bring back the dead.
And then Death asked the third and youngest brother what he would like. The youngest brother was the
humblest and also the wisest of the brothers, and he did not trust Death. So he asked for something that
would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And Death, most unwillingly,
handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility.
Then Death stood aside and allowed the three brothers to continue on their way and they did so, talking
with wonder of the adventure they had had, and admiring Death’s gifts.
In due course the brothers separated, each for his own destination.

What I did in Texas!
A cowboy is travelling on his horse when he sees a bar. He decides to stop for a few drinks, so he ties his
horse outside the bar, walks into the bar, sits right up at the counter and orders a few beers. This cowboy is
new in town, so he notices some of the other bar patrons1 giving
him funny looks2, and he suspects that they'll try something funny,
but he continues to drink. When he's satisfied, he pays for the beers
and walks out of the bar only to find his horse missing3.
However, he keeps his cool4, struts5 back into the bar, puts on
a really mean look6 and says, "Look, I don't know what you did to
my horse out there... but I'm planning to make a move on within

the next five minutes, and if my horse isn't back where it's supposed
to be by then7, well... I'm gonna have to do here what I did in Texas!"
The cowboy sneers8. "And I don't wanna do what I did in Texas!"
The cowboy glares at everyone before returning to the counter
and ordering another couple of beers. The other customers9 seem a bit shaken, and sure enough after 5
minutes, the cowboy walks out and finds his horse tied where it was supposed to be.
Just as he's about to leave, the barman approaches him and asks, "I'm just curious, partner. What was it
you did in Texas that you didn't want to do here?" The cowboy turns to the barman, gives a lopsided
grin10 and replies, "I had to walk home!11"
