About me and the things I do
1. LOS PRONOMBRES SUJETOS,VERBO TO BE / HAVE GOT
Introducción
▪ En inglés necesitamos siempre un sujeto que acompañe al verbo en la oración.
▪ Este sujeto puede ser, por ejemplo, un pronombre personal.
▪ Por otra parte, “To be” y “To have got” son dos de los verbos más utilizados
dentro de la lengua inglesa. El verbo “to be” significa tanto “ser” como “estar” y se
utilizan en expresiones muy comunes como preguntar cómo estás, la edad etc. El
verbo “to have got” significa “tener”.
▪ Por último, vais a ver que, a diferencia del español, en inglés se pueden utilizar
formas contraídas en los verbos. Estas formas contraídas están permitidas en un
inglés hablado o en un inglés informal escrito.
4. 3
Explicación
PRONOMBRESSUJETO
A diferencia del español, el sujeto siempre debe aparecer en la oración. La primera
persona del singular (yo) se escribe con mayúscula (I).
It se usa para referirnos a un sujeto singular que no es persona (animal, cosa, etc.).
Para tratar a alguien de usted, se utiliza el pronombre de segunda persona (you).
• Paul is English. (Paul es inglés) He is English. (Él es inglés).
• The concert is at nine o’clock. (El concierto es a las nueve en punto).
• It is at nine o’clock. (Es a las nueve en punto).
• María and her sister are Spanish. (María y su hermana son españolas).
• They are Spanish. (Ellas son españolas).

2. LOS ARTICULOS DEFINIDOS E INDEFINIDOS
Introducción
▪ ¿Cuántos artículos definidos existen en inglés?
La respuesta es uno: “the”, que se utiliza tanto para singular como para plural y
tanto para masculino como para femenino:
• The dog (El perro)
• The cars (Los coches)
• The star (La estrella)
• The stars (Las estrellas)
▪ Otra pregunta más, ¿por qué es correcto utilizar “a” en estas tres oraciones?
• A car (Un automóvil)
• A table (Una mesa)
• A woman (Una mujer)
Porque “a” se corresponde al artículo indeterminado o indefinido en inglés y
puede traducirse como “un” y “una”.
11. 10
Explicación
LOSARTÍCULOS
the el, la , los, las
a/an un, una, unos, unas
- The se usa para referirnos a cosas específicas o mencionadas anteriormente.
- A/an se usa para referirnos a cosas mencionadas por primera vez y delante de
las profesiones. An se utiliza cuando la siguiente palabra empieza por vocal.
Ejemplos:
• The Sun rises in the East. (El Sol sale por el Este).
• My sister has a car. The car is blue. (Mi hermana tiene un coche. El coche
es azul).
• I am a receptionist. (Soy recepcionista).
• The cook needs a banana, a peach and an apple. (El cocinero necesita un
plátano, un melocotón y una manzana).
• You need an umbrella. (necesitas un paraguas).
• I have an e-mail. (tengo un e-mail).
Excepción:
“She wears a uniform”
En esta frase utilizamos “a”, porque el sonido de la “u” es semivocal (/ju:/). Igual
ocurre con otras palabras que comienzan por el mismo sonido, como
“university”, “universe”, “unique”, etc.

3. Henry is ________doctor.
4. We play with_______ children.
5. John has _______ umbrella.
6. Thomas is ________happy boy.
7. It’s _______one o’clock.
3. GÉNERO Y NÚMERO
Introducción
▪ Normalmente en inglés, los sustantivos que hacen referencia a objetos no llevan
ninguna marca para determinar su género.
Explicación
EL GÉNERO
En inglés, la mayoría de las palabras sirven indistintamente para masculino y
femenino: friend = amigo/a, writer = escritor/a, etc. Pero aquí veremos también
cómo se pueden hacer distinciones.
He is my friend (es mi
amigo)
She is my friend (es mi
amiga)
They are my friends
(son mis amigos)
Friend - amigo / amiga
Writer- escritor / escritora

1. PRESENTE SIMPLE
Introducción
▪ Cuando queremos hablar de lo que hacemos de forma rutinaria, nuestros hábitos y

23. 22
ESTRUCTURA
Forma afirmativa: Subject + Verb
- Con los pronombres: He/ She/ It añadimos una –s a los verbos y –es
cuando el verbo termina en: -ch, -s, -ss, -sh, -x
• You watch / she watches
• We guess / he guesses
Nota: Hay excepciones de ortografía en la tercera persona, según la letra en que termina
el verbo. Las reglas son las mismas que se utilizan para formar el plural de los sustantivos.
- Los infinitivos terminados en-s,-z,-sh, -chy –x forman la tercera persona del
singular agregando -es: I teach (Yo enseño) - He teaches (El enseña); I watch
(Yo miro) - She watches (Ella mira).
- Los infinitivos terminados en –y precedida de consonante cambian por-ies: I
study(Yo estudio) - He studies (Él estudia). Pero también hay excepciones: Los

24. 23
Forma negativa: Subject + do not / does not (don’t / doesn’t) + Verb

usamos la forma doesn´t en lugar de don´t como en el resto.
I do not read / I don’t read Yo no leo
You do not read / You don’t read Tú no lees
He does not read / He doesn’t read Él no lee

6. LOS NÚMEROS
Introducción
▪ Los números cardinales se usan para contar cosas. Corresponden al nombre del
número exacto que queremos expresar, se refieren a la cantidad:
two tables, five children, seven cars…
▪ Los números ordinales se usan generalmente cuando se están haciendo listados
de cosas o cuando se están narrando una serie de eventos. Damos orden a
situaciones, objetos, personas… En inglés se utilizan las fechas con los números
ordinales:
My birthday is the 1st (first) of February.
Ojo!! En los números en inglés, tenemos que incluir un guión entre las decenas
y las unidades: 27 (twenty-seven), 83 (eighty-three), 45 (forty-five).
35. 34
Explicación
LOS NÚMEROS CARDINALES
1 one 11 eleven 21 twenty-one 31 thirty-one
2 two 12 twelve 22 twenty-two 40 forty
3 three 13 thirteen 23 twenty-three 50 fifty
4 four 14 fourteen 24 twenty-four 60 sixty
5 five 15 fifteen 25 twenty-five 70 seventy
6 six 16 sixteen 26 twenty-six 80 eighty
7 seven 17 seventeen 27 twenty-seven 90 ninety
8 eight 18 eighteen 28 twenty-eight 100 a/one hundred
9 nine 19 nineteen 29 twenty-nine 1,000 a/one thousand
10 ten 20 twenty 30 thirty 1,000,000 a/one million
En inglés se ponen comas en vez de puntos para separar los números:
• 12.000 = 12,000
Se usa el artículo indefinido a o one delante de 100, 1.000 y 1.000:
• 100 = a hundred / one hundred
• = 1,000 = a / one thousand
• = 1,000,000 = a / one million
Las centenas y decenas se separan con and:
• 110 = one hundred and ten
• 2,001 = two thousand and one
36. 35
LOS NÚMEROS ORDINALES
En inglés los números ordinales se escriben de esta forma, tanto en su forma larga
como en abreviatura.
1st first
2nd second
3rd third
4th fourth
5th fifth
6th sixth
7th seventh
8th eighth
9th ninth
10th tenth
Las abreviaturas utilizan las últimas dos letras del ordinal–no siempre es “th”. En el caso de
first, second y third la abreviatura se forma con “st”, “nd” y “rd” respectivamente, así tenemos
1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.
Los ordinales de 10 a 20 ponen una “th” y hay unos pequeños cambios de ortografía.
11th eleventh 21st twenty-first 31st thirty-first
12th twelfth 22nd twenty-second 40th fortieth
13th thirteenth 23rd twenty-third 50th fiftieth
14th fourteenth 24th twenty-fourth 60th sixtieth

7. HORA + DÍAS DE LA SEMANA Y MESES DEL AÑO
Introducción
▪ La estructura de la hora en inglés es diferente a la de español. Es la siguiente:
IT IS (IT’S) + MINUTOS + PAST OR TO + HORA
▪ Delante de los días de la semana tenemos que usar la preposición ON.
• I play football on Saturdays.- Juego a fútbol los sábados
▪ Delante de los meses del año usaremos la preposición IN:
• have holidays in July.- Tengo vacaciones en Julio
39. 38
Explicación
LA HORA
Para preguntar la hora, usamos las expresiones más comunes:
• What time is it? o What’s the time? (¿Qué hora es?).
En el lenguaje escrito, se utiliza a.m. para acompañar las horas desde las doce de la
noche hasta las 12 del mediodía; y p.m. desde las 12 del mediodía hasta las doce de la
noche.
• 7:00 a.m. / 11:00 p.m.
Pero en más habitual usar ‘in the morning’, ‘in the afternoon’, ‘in the evening’ and ‘at
night’.
Y para decir la hora usamos:
7:00 a.m. > Seven o’clock in the morning. (Las siete de la mañana)
3:15 p.m. > Quarter past three in the afternoon. (Las tres menos cuarto de la tarde)
7:30 p.m. > Half past seven in the evening. (Las siete y media de la tarde)
12:45 a.m. > Quarter to one at night. (La una menos cuarto de la noche)
12:00 > Midday (Mediodía)
24:00 > Midnight (Medianoche)
- o’clock = en punto
- quarter past = y cuarto
- half past = y media
- quarter to = menos cuarto
TO PAST
TO PAST
40. 39
Para hablar de los minutos, si es una fracción inferior a 30, usamos el adverbio past; y si
es superior a 30, usamos la preposición to.
• It’s twenty-five past two. (Son las dos y veinticinco).
• It’s half past five. (Son las cinco y media).
• It’s twenty to nine. (Son las nueve menos veinte).
• It’s five to ten. (Son las diez menos cinco).
• It’s eleven o’clock. (Son las once en puno).
DAYS OF THE WEEK (DÍAS DE LA SEMANA) AND MONTHS OF THE YEAR (MESES DEL
AÑO)
Los días de la semana y los meses del año en inglés van siempre en mayúscula.
Días de la semana:
LUNES MONDAY
MARTES TUESDAY
MIÉRCOLES WEDNESDAY
JUEVES THURSDAY

Meses del año:
ENERO JANUARY
FEBRERO FEBRUARY
MARZO MARCH
ABRIL APRIL
MAYO MAY
JUNIO JUNE
JULIO JULY
AGOSTO AUGUST
SEPTIEMBRE SEPTEMBER
OCTUBRE OCTOBER
NOVIEMBRE NOVEMBER
DICIEMBRE DECEMBER
Delante de los días de la semana usamos la preposición ON:
• I have to work on Monday.- Tengo que trabajar el lunes.
41. 40
Delante de los meses del año usaremos la preposición IN:
• I was born in 1972. – Nací en 1972.
Para hablar de fechas debemos usar los números ordinales y normalmente siguen este
orden: mes / día / año.
• January, 1st 2008. 1 de enero de 2008.
También podemos omitir las letras de los números ordinales (-st, -nd, -rd, -th).
• January 1, 2008.
También se pueden abreviar los meses.
• Jun (June), Jan (January), Aug (August).
Y podemos escribir las fechas solo con números pero debemos tener en cuenta que en
USA el orden es mes /día / año y en UK es día / mes / año.
• 12/ 25 / 2007 USA
• 25 de diciembre de 2007
• 25/ 12 / 2007 UK

1. LOS ADJETIVOS Y PRONOMBRES DEMOSTRATIVOS
Introducción
Los adjetivos demostrativos en inglés son "this" (este / esta), "that" (ese / esa),
"these" (estos/estas) y "those" (esos/esas). Determinan la lejanía o proximidad de la
persona o cosa con quién o de quién se habla. Siempre acompañan al sustantivo.
• This girl / These girls
▪ Los pronombres demostrativos indican la distancia relativa entre dos objetos,
entre una persona y una cosa o entre dos personas. No necesitan acompañar al
sustantivo, pueden sustituirlo.
• This girl is Anna (adjetivo)
• This is Anna (pronombre)
56. 55
Explicación
Los adjetivos y pronombres demostrativos tienen la misma forma. No varían en
género pero sí en número (singular/plural).
Singular Plural
This (este, esta, esto) These (estos, estas)
That (ese, esa, eso, aquel, aquella, aquello) Those (esos, esas, aquellos, aquellas)
Los adjetivos demostrativos se usan para indicar la posición de algo, y concuerdan en
número con el sustantivo al que acompañan.
• I work in this office.Yo trabajo en esta oficina.
• These books are expensive. Estos libros son caros.
• This book is expensive. Este libro es caro.
Los pronombres demostrativos sustituyen a un nombre:
• This is my office. Ésta es mi oficina.
• What is that? ¿Qué es eso?

2. LOS ADJETIVOS Y PRONOMBRES POSESIVOS Y EL GENITIVO SAJÓN
ADJETIVOSPOSESIVOS
Los adjetivos posesivos los utilizamos para referirnos a posesiones. Suelen ir delante del
sustantivo que se posee. Ejemplos:
• My house is big- Mi casa es grande.
• Your brother is handsome- Tu hermano es guapo.
• His car is small- Su coche es pequeño.
My Mi
Your Tu
His Su (de él)
Her Su (de ella)
Its Su (de animal u objeto)
Our Nuestro/a
Your Vuestro
Their Su (de ellos/as)
Los adjetivos posesivos no cambian de género ni número, es decir, no tienen diferencia
si es plural, singular, masculino o femenino excepto en “his” y “her”. Ejemplos:
• Antonio has a blue car- his car is blue.
• Maria has a red car- her car is red.
• Maria and Antonio have a big car- Their car is big.
58. 57
PRONOMBRESPOSESIVOS
Los pronombres posesivos se suelen utilizar para no volver a repetir el objeto poseído.
• This heart is yours- Este corazón es tuyo.
• The power is mine- el poder es mío.
• The money is ours- el dinero es nuestro.
El pronombre posesivo sustituye a un nombre para no repetirlo. Además se
diferencia con los adjetivos posesivos en que la mayoría terminan en –s
Mine Mío/a
Yours Tuyo/a
His Suyo/a (de él)
Hers Suyo/a (de ella)
Its Suyo (de animal u objeto)
Ours Nuestro/a
Your Vuestro
Their Suyo (de ellos/as)
Ejemplos:
• This is my cat and that is yours- Este es mi gato y ese es el tuyo.
• This is mine, it is not yours- Esto es mío, no es tuyo.
En su forma plural no varían:
• Five cars are mine- Cinco coches son míos.
PRONOMBRESPOSESIVOS
Los pronombres posesivos se suelen utilizar para no volver a repetir el objeto poseído.
• This heart is yours- Este corazón es tuyo.
• The power is mine- el poder es mío.
• The money is ours- el dinero es nuestro.
El pronombre posesivo sustituye a un nombre para no repetirlo. Además se
diferencia con los adjetivos posesivos en que la mayoría terminan en –s
59. 58
Mine Mío/a
Yours Tuyo/a
His Suyo/a (de él)
Hers Suyo/a (de ella)
Its Suyo (de animal u objeto)
Ours Nuestro/a
Your Vuestro
Their Suyo (de ellos/as)
Ejemplos:
• This is my cat and that is yours- Este es mi gato y ese es el tuyo.
• This is mine, it is not yours- Esto es mío, no es tuyo.
En su forma plural no varían:
• Five cars are mine- Cinco coches son míos.
GENITIVO SAJÓN
El genitivo sajón es una forma posesiva que se utiliza en inglés cuando el poseedor es
una persona, un animal o un nombre que represente a un grupo de personas.
• Julia’s house
• Peter’s car
• My dog’s toy
Con la terminación ’s indicamos a quién pertenece algo. El nombre al que añadimos
la ’s está en singular. El orden es el siguiente: poseedor + ’s + objeto poseído:
• Susana’s car. (El coche de Susana)
• My brother’s camera. (La cámara de mi hermano)
• The Government’s decision. (La decisión del Gobierno)
Si existen varios poseedores y el objeto pertenece a todos, colocamos la ’s detrás
del último poseedor:
• My brother and Susana’s car. (El coche de mi hermano y Susana)
60. 59
Si existe un objeto diferente para cada uno de los poseedores, colocamos una ’s a cada
uno de ellos:
• My brother’s and Susana’s camera. (Las cámaras de mi hermano y de Susana).
También podemos añadir una ’s a los sustantivos plurales que no acaban en –s, por ejemplo
a los irregulares como women (mujeres), men (hombres), children (niños),…
• The children’s bedroom. (La habitación de los niños)
Los nombres de algunos lugares públicos o tiendas llevan ’s:
• The baker’s. (La panadería)
• The butcher’s. (La carnicería)
• St George’s. (La iglesia de St George)
Recuerda que la ’s no se usa si el poseedor es un objeto. En ese caso usamos la
preposición of para indicar la posesión de ese objeto.
• The curtains of the window. (Las cortinas de la ventana)
• The door of the office. (La puerta de la oficina)
Para formar el genitivo plural se añade ‘ después de la s del primer sustantivo:
• The dogs’ food. (La comida de los perros)
Cuando la palabra acaba en s no se añade otra s, solo se pone el apóstrofo. Esto es asi
para los nombres extranjeros para el inglés (romanos o griegos, por ejemplo) se suele
omitir la doble s:
• Socrates’ book (el libro de Sócrates)
• Jesus’ car (el coche de Jesus)
No obstante cuando se usan nombres ingleses, sí se usa la doble s:
• Ross’s book
• Charles’s house

3. EL PRESENTE CONTINUO
Introducción
▪ En inglés utilizamos la estructura de presente continuo (o progresivo) para
diferentes situaciones:
- Para acciones que se están desarrollando en el momento en que hablamos.
• I am studying English at this moment - Estoy estudiando en este
momento
- Para describir acciones que se están desarrollando alrededor del momento en
que estamos hablando, aunque no necesariamente en ese preciso instante.
I am studying English – Estudio inglés (no necesariamente en el momento en
que estoy hablando, sino en el sentido de que me he apuntado a un curso de
inglés que ya ha comenzado).
- Para referirnos a acciones que van a ocurrir en un futuro próximo y que ya
han sido totalmente planificadas y tenemos certeza de que van a suceder;
en este caso, habrá que mencionar el momento en que se va a desarrollar la
acción.
• I am travelling to London next September – Viajaré a Londres en
Septiembre (ya tengo la decisión firme, ya está planificado).
- Acciones habituales que causan irritación en el hablante. En este caso suele
ir acompañado del adverbio “always”.
• He is always working – Siepre está trabajando
- El presente continuo o progresivo no se usa con los siguientes verbos:
Know, like, want, hate, love, need, belong, mean, understand, remember, prefer.

también a los verbos que acaban en –y :

- Los verbos monosilábicos acabados en una sola consonante precedida de
una sola vocal duplican la consonante final delante de –ing:
• stop > stopping

de una sola vocal duplican la consonante final si el acento recae en la última
sílaba:

• occur > occurring
- Los verbos acabados en –ie cambian la –ie por –y delante de –ing:
• die > dying
• lie > lying
- Muchos verbos acabados en una sola vocal + l o p duplican la consonante
final delante de –ing, aunque no cumplan la regla del acento:
• travel > travelling
