frase, de modo que se sitúe después del sujeto, pero antes del verbo. Por ejemplo:
I always play soccer.

ADVERBS OF MANNER (MANNER ADVERBS)
Este es el tipo de adverbios (ADVERBIOS DE MODO) los utilizamos cuando queremos expresar cuál es
la manera en la que se realiza una acción. En Inglés normalmente se forman agregando “ly” al final
del adjetivo. Pero como así visto todo parece muy complicado, vamos a ver algunos ejemplos.
Adjetivo Adverbio
Slow – Lento Slowly – Lentamente
Easy – Fácil Easily – Fácilmente

Subsecretaría de Educación Media Superior
Dirección General de Educación Tecnológica Industrial y de Servicios
Dirección Académica e Innovación Educativa
Subdirección de Innovación Académica
Simple – Simple Simply – Simplemente
Careful – Cuidado Carefully – Cuidadosamente
Natural – Natural Naturally – Naturalmente
Happy – Feliz Happily – Felizmente
Clear – Claro Clearly – Claramente
Calm- Calma Calmly-calmadamente
Actividad 1.2
Task: Complete the following paragraph with the correct form of the adverb of manner. Completa
el siguiente párrafo con la forma correcta del adverbio de modo.
1. The children in the yellow house play (happy) in the garden. They run
(slow) and their siblings catch them (easy). The
children have fun just running after a ball. (natural), they are watched by
their parents. (clear), they are not of age and are
(happy) with their family.
2. The cell phone is a (natural) reliable piece of equipment. It is a tool that
is easy to operate and, (happy), can be found in any technology store.
(clear), it has been the best invention because students can use it
(carefull).
ADVERBS OF PLACES
Los adverbios de lugar pueden ser direccionales, indicar distancia o indicar la posición de un objeto
en relación con otro. Por ejemplo, debajo, entre, encima, detrás, a través, alrededor y así
sucesivamente. Los adverbios de lugar se colocan normalmente después del objeto de la frase o del
verbo principal.
En inglés existen palabras que nos indican el lugar donde se desarrolla o desarrolló una acción. Estas
palabras se denominan adverbs of place / adverbios de lugar, y como lo indica su nombre, determinan
el sitio en donde algo ocurrió. Los adverbios de lugar, por su condición, deben ubicarse luego del
verbo principal de la oración.
Usualmente los adjetivos se ubican al final de la oración, pero en casos particulares, como there / allí,
pueden ubicarse al principio de la oración para enfatizar el sentido de la misma, sin cambiar su
significado.

Listado con algunos de estos adverbios, su significado y características:
Actividad 1.3
Task: Underlines the adverb of place within the sentence highlighted in bold type. Subraya el adverbio
de lugar dentro de la oración remarcada en negrita.
There: Allí, allá, por ahí. Al usar este adverbio nos referimos al lugar donde se realiza una acción que
podemos ver, pero no se encuentra cerca de nosotros:
There is the place of the accident/ Este es el lugar del accidente.
Here: Aquí, acá, por aquí, por acá. Lo podemos utilizar al indicar el lugar donde se realiza una acción,
pero que es cerca nosotros:
Please sit down here/ Por favor, siéntese aquí.
Nearby: Cerca de, no tan lejos, cercano. Indica cercanía física, mas no temporal. Este adverbio puede
utilizarse antes o después del nombre al que describe. A diferencia de near, que puede cumplir
función de preposición y de adverbio de lugar, nearby sólo puede usarse como adverbio de lugar:
We have a nearby library/ Tenemos una biblioteca cercana.
Out: Afuera, fuera. Cuando decimos que el lugar, objeto o sujeto se encuentra lejos o fuera de su
espacio habitual como lo puede ser su ciudad, país u hogar, se puede usar "out". También lo puedes
usar si algo sucede a las afueras de un espacio específico, por ejemplo un recinto cerrado, edificación
o construcción:
I want you out of my office! / ¡Te quiero fuera de mi oficina!
Outside: A las afueras, hacia afuera, afuera. Hace referencia a estar fuera de algo o de algún lugar,
pero de manera cercana o próxima, a diferencia de out, cuyas distancias pueden ser grandes:
Why are you outside the house? / ¿Por qué estás afuera de la casa?
Upstairs: Arriba, en el piso de arriba. Este adverbio lo puedes utilizar para decir que algo está pasando
en un piso superior:
Lindsay is upstairs in her office/Lindsay está en el piso de arriba de su oficina.
Downstairs. Abajo, en el piso de abajo. Contrario a upstairs, con este adverbio nos referimos a un
espacio inferior, como el piso de un edificio o construcción:
Where is the bathroom? It's downstairs. / ¿Dónde está el baño? Está en el piso de abajo.

Ahead: Adelante, delante de: Utilízalo para hacer referencia a planes futuros, a espacios que se
encuentren justo en frente tuyo, cuando se ubica algo o sucede en forma lineal, o en el caso del
tiempo, para registrar un suceso reciente:
John always drives ahead of us. / Juan siempre conduce delante de nosotros.
All over: Por todas partes/Puedes usarlo para situaciones generalizadas o globales:
That virus is all over the city /Ese virus está por toda la ciudad.
Around: Al rededor, por todas partes. Con este adverbio puedes referirte a algo que esté sucediendo
en un espacio cercano o lejano a ti:
Look around you. There is nothing/Mira alrededor tuyo. No hay nada.
Aside: A un lado, aparte. Nos da a entender que algo está aparte o distanciado:
Why did you leave aside my project? / ¿Por qué dejaron a un lado mi proyecto?
Back: De vuelta, de regreso. Nos indica que algo está de regreso:
Mom, Jane is back home! / ¡Mamá, Jane está de vuelta a casa!
Beyond: Más allá. Nos indica que algo sucede lejos del espacio desde donde se narran los hechos:
We will walk beyond the mountains/ Caminaremos más allá de las montañas.
ADVERBS OF TIME
Cuando queremos decir cuándo, durante cuánto tiempo o con qué frecuencia sucede algo,
necesitamos usar adverbios de tiempo. Aquí hay una guía sobre todos estos adverbios para que
pueda comenzar a utilizarlos más fácilmente cuando hables y escribas.

Definition: Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to join words, phrases, or clauses.
The correlative conjunctions are either...or, neither...nor, both...and, not only...but also,
whether...or.
Either= O/ uno u otro
Neiher= ni/ tampoco
Nor= No/ni
Or= O
Both= ambos/ambas
Not only… but also= No solo… sino también.
Whether= si / ya sea
And= Y
Joining words: My uncle is not only a doctor but also a pharmacist.
Joining phrases: All of these clothes are either too small or worn out.
Joining clauses: Either Monica will bring drinks, or she will bring brownies.
Correlative conjunctions are stronger than coordinating conjunctions and emphasize the
relationship between the ideas being joined. Notice the difference in the following sentences:
Cats and dogs make good pets.
Both cats and dogs make good pets.
Ron or Davie found my bicycle.
Either Ron or Davie found my bicycle.

Note: Not only...but also can be split apart. Even the second half can be split. Not only cannot be
split.
I like not only ice skating but also hockey. Not only is he a great singer, but he is also an actor.
Note: Be careful of the placement of the parts of the conjunction.
Confusing: Either you must bring in your permission slip or stay home. (The reader is left hanging
waiting for the second clause.)
Better: You must either bring in your permission slip or stay home. (You must do one of these two
actions.)
Also better: Either you must bring in your permission slip, or you must stay home.
Confusing: It was not only a long movie but also exciting.
Better: The movie was not only long but also exciting.
Better: It was not only a long movie but also an exciting one.
As you learned in the modifiers unit, watch where you put only.
Confusing: Jeremy not only won a trophy but also money.
Better: Jeremy won not only a trophy but also money.
When using correlative conjunctions, ensure verbs agree so your sentences make sense. For
example: Every night, either loud music or fighting neighbors wake John from his sleep.
When you use a correlative conjunction, you must be sure that pronouns agree. For example:
Neither Debra nor Sally expressed her annoyance when the cat broke the antique lamp.

PARCIAL 2
Definition: A comparative adjective is an adjective used to compare two people or things. We use
comparative adjectives to say that one person or thing demonstrates a high degree of a quality or
is a better example of a quality than the other is. Words like taller, smarter, and slower are
examples of comparative adjectives.
How to create Comparatives:
One syllable adjectives:
Add -er for the comparative. If the adjective has a consonant + single vowel + consonant spelling,
the final consonant must be doubled before adding the ending.
Two syllables
Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by
adding -er or by preceeding the adjective with more. In many cases,
both forms are used, although one usage will be more common than the other. If you are not sure
whether a two-syllable adjective can take a comparative or superlative ending, play it safe and use
more instead. For adjectives ending in y, change the y to an i before
adding the ending.
Three or more syllables
Adjectives with three or more syllables form the comparative by putting
more in front of the adjective.
Adjective Comparative
important more important
expensive more expensive
Irregular comparatives and superlatives
These very common adjectives have completely irregular
comparative and superlative forms.
Adjective Comparative
tall taller
fat fatter
big bigger
sad sadder
Adjective Comparative
happy happier
simple simpler
busy busier
tilted more tilted
tangled More tangled
Adjective Comparative
good better
bad worse
little less
much more

Actividad 2.7.- Videotape (or present live) some quick advertisements related to
comparatives, you can choose a particular topic to promote in a 30 second – 1-minute
ad.
Examples of topics:
-The city and the country, Bicycles and cars, The Moon and The Sun, America and
Europe, or Being poor and being rich
Actividad 2.8.- Chain Game: The aim of the game is to make as many “comparative
chains”as possible.
INSTRUCTIONS:
a) Divide the class into teams.
b) The class brainstorms some comparative adjectives; you can write them on the board.
c) Choose a topic that has many nouns, such as “animals”.
d) Write a comparative sentence on the board comparing two animals. For example:
“Elephants are bigger than cats”.
To make a chain, you must make a comparative sentence starting with the last noun of
the previous sentence.
So, for example, if the first sentence is “Elephants are bigger than cats” then the next
sentence must start with “Cats” (e.g. “Cats are smarter than pigs”) and the following
sentence must start with “Pigs” (e.g. “Pigs are fatter than dogs.”) and so on.
e) Give 2 to 3 minutes to make as many “comparative chains” as possible, and then
change the topic (e.g. food, sports, countries, school subjects)
Each team takes turns to make the chains on the board, or all teams can write the
sentences on a piece of paper at the same time.

Superlative Adjectives
We use the superlative form of the adjective to compare three or more people, places, or things.When
comparing more than two things, you’ll likely use words and phrases like smallest, biggest,tallest, most
interesting, and least interesting. Notice the –est ending and the words most and least.
Make sure you use the proper ending or superlative adjective when forming these superlatives.The
examples below illustrate the correct form:
Formation of Superlative Adjectives
As with comparative adjectives, there are two ways to form a superlative adjective:
Short adjectives: add "-est"
Long adjectives: use "most"
We also usually add 'the' at the beginning.
Short adjectives
Syllable adjectives: old, fast
Syllable adjectives ending in -y: happy, easy
RULE: add "-est" old → the oldest
Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -st : late → the latest
Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant big
→ the biggest
Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to I : happy → the happiest
Long adjectives
2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y: modern, pleasant
All adjectives of 3 or more syllables: expensive, intellectual
RULE: use "most" modern → the most modern
expensive → the most expensive
With some 2-syllable adjectives, we can use "-est" OR "most":
quiet → the quietest/most quiet
clever → the cleverest/most clever
narrow → the narrowest/most narrow
simple → the simplest/most simple
Exception: The following adjectives have irregular forms:
good → the best
bad → the worst
far → the farthest/furthest

Intensifiers are kind of words which use is to give force to the meaning of verbs, adjectives, and
adverbs, but also, they can give a soft intensity to the message, in other words, they weaken the
meaning too. Examples:
Forcing the meaning:
a) I am really interested in your story.
b) My mom is strongly disappointed with your behaviour.
Weakening the meaning:
a) Are you ok? I feel little cold but I can deal with it.
b) My father was a bit annoyed with the scene my brother did.
Also, intensifiers can give a negative connotation to the meaning of the message: example:
a) You looked awfully pale after the party.
b) I knew it was an insanely clever idea, but I loved it.
There are a lot of common intensifiers like: very, so, such,
enough, too, and so on. The list is long. Let´s check the way
we use the previous ones.
So, such (synonymous of “very”), enough (the right amount of
something) and too (more than necessary), are used to
express degree. Examples:
a)It was so cold in the mountain that I stayed in the tent.
b)It was such an interesting book that I didn´t sleep all night.
c)Excuse me do you want more soup? No, thank you. I got
enough.

Activity 2.18: Read the text about extreme sports and underline the intensifiers.
Extreme sports are different from average sports because they are incredibly risky.
Either you perform the sport at an extremely fast pace or its location is incredibly
dangerous. In order to do an extreme sport completely safely, you should be really
experienced at it.
Free solo climbing is an example of a very dangerous extreme sport. It involves climbing
incredibly steep cliffs that can be thousands of feet high. The most terrifying thing about
this sport is that you climb without any equipment. That's totally crazy, right? Those
who have done this sport have said that the only way to do it successfully is by climbing
very slowly and remaining totally focused on every move you make.
For the adrenaline junkies, extreme sports are very attractive and intriguing. But, if
you're thinking about taking up an extreme sport, think very hard about the challenges
involved.
Actividad 2.19.- Write down the intensifiers that you underlined in the text.

Instructions: Read the texts below and underline the linking words.
Why do onions make us cry?
Firstly, an onion is a vegetable that
grows in the ground and it contains
vitamins and minerals. We usually like
to slice it or dice it and add onion to
our meals. But have you ever sliced an
onion? It makes your eyes water!
However, it is not the strong smell of
the onion that makes us cry, but the
gas that the onion releases when we
cut this member of the lily family.
The onion itself contains oil, which
contains sulphur, which is an irritant
to both our noses and to our eyes.
So, now we know what the chemical
is! Although I am not sure that helps
very much when we have to peel or
chop onions!

Why do mosquito bites cause so much trouble?
Probably, male mosquitoes are innocent, because only
the female mosquito feeds on blood. As soon as she
lands on you, she sticks her beak into your skin and
quickly starts sucking out blood. Although we always
call them mosquito bites, it’s not really a bite at all! The
problem is that she injects some of her saliva into your
skin and this is an irritant. This eventually produces an
allergic reaction and then it itches and becomes red and
swollen.
Why do skunks stink?
Skunks do not always smell bad and they
probably
smell sweet to other skunks! They smell because of a special fluid
which they spray out of their backside. In addition to smelling awful,
the spray can cause vomiting in humans and also have effects similar
to tear gas.
Unless it has a reason to be afraid, a skunk does not spray their
strong odour. It just raises its tail and stamps its feet so for most

ACTIVITY 3.9
Connectors of c
(Connectors of C
Sentence connectors improve your writing. They add variety and sophistication to your style of writing, we
use several different words to show cause and effect.
Connectors are words or groups of words that help us connect words, phrases or sentences. Cause and
effect is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the others. They are a
combination of action and reaction.
When we talk about an effect resulting from a certain cause, we use expressions such as: because, since, as,
owing to, due to.
In addition, while an effect is produced by a cause, cause is the producer of an effect. The cause can be a
person, object, situation, or event that can result in something, while an effect is the result of the actions of
the person or the outcome of some chain of events that have happened.
The cause will in a way explain the reason why the effect happened in the first place. The cause naturally
precedes an effect, while the effect will always follow it.
Cause and Effect Linking Words
There are three main types of linking words: conjunctions, transitions, and prepositions.
Conjunctions; The most common conjunctions are because, as, since, and so. Words of “because”, “since”
introduce a cause; “so” introduces an effect.
Example: I stayed at my office because it was raining.
Transitions; The most common transitions are therefore, consequently, and as a result.
Example: It was raining, therefore I stayed in my office.
Prepositions; The most common prepositions are due to and because of.
Example: I stayed at my office due to the rain

Connectors: Because, As and Since, For ,Owing to + Noun
✔ Because
It is used to give a reason of something important for the listener.
Example: Because I did not finish my assignments on time, I can’t go to the party.
We also use it to give an answer to the question Word: Why?
Example: Why can’t you go to the party? I can’t go because I have homework.
✔ As and Since
They are normally used when the listener knows the reason why something happens.
Example: As you did not finish on time, you are not able to attend the meeting. (that you did not finish
your activities on time is not something new to the listener.)
Since I studied, I approved my exam.
✔ For
Introduces a new reason to the listener.
For-clause can’t be used at the beginning of a sentence.
· Example: I was not able to attend the meeting – for the deadline of my tasks.
✔ Owing to + noun
It indicates that an action happened as a result of something. It is also used to introduce the reason for
something happening:
Examples: He was not allowed to attend owing to his bad behavior.

Dialogue
Elena: Hey Karla. What do you think about the new English literature professor?
Karla: Well, to be honest, he is not very elegant. However, he seems to be a good teacher, because he is
always worried about his students.
Elena: Some of our partners mentioned that they were disappointed with his attitude, and they stopped
encouraging him.
Karla: I think he is a good person but he is not very polite. Isn’t he?
Elena: Yes, you are right. On the other hand, he teaches very well. Doesn’t he?
Karla: I agree. I remember we haven’t had such a good professor since two years ago. So, I don’t mind if he
is not polite enough.
Elena: Anyway, I think we are here because of knowledge, so we need to continue learning and improving.
Aren’t we?
Karla: I totally agree. Besides, we can learn in spite of the teacher. I mean, if we study we approve, although
we have a good teacher or not.
Elena: Of course, besides, we need to consider that the teacher was hired owing to his knowledge and
academic experience. Don’t you think?
