USE</h2>
Usamos el <i>Past Simple</i> para hablar del pasado. En español
se puede traducir por el pretérito indefinido (I <i><b>danced</b></i>
– Yo <b>bailé</b>) o el pretérito imperfecto (I <i><b>danced</b></i>
– yo <b>bailaba</b>) Lo más importante es que es el tiempo en el
que contamos las cosas que nos sucedieron, es decir, las <b>narraciones</b>.<br />
<h2 class="western">
FORM</h2>
Para construir el <i>Past</i> <i>Simple</i> debes saber <u>dos cosas</u>,
una buena (<i><b>good news</b></i>) y otra mala (<i><b>bad news</b></i>):<br />
<h3 class="western">
Good News :)</h3>
El <i>Past</i> <i>Simple</i> es muy fácil de construir, fíjate
bien:<br />

* Como ves sólo tienes que añadir <b>-ed </b>al final del verbo
<u>regular</u> para la forma afirmativa<br />
** La forma negativa se forma con el auxiliar <b>didn't +
infinitive</b><br />
*** La forma interrogativa se hace con el auxiliar <b>did</b>
delante del sujeto<br />
<h3 class="western">
Bad News :|</h3>
Además de los verbos regulares existen otros que son <b>irregulares</b>.
Se llaman así porque su forma del Past Simple en afirmativa es
diferente.
<br />
Estas formas debes aprenderlas de oído, y cuando digo de oído
quiero decir que es mejor aprendarlas escuchándola. Mucha gente se
las aprende de memoria leyendo listas de verbos irregulares... y al
final no se familiarizan con su pronunciación y no son capaces de
entender cuando las escuchan.<br />
To <b>Do</b> es un verbo irregular, y su <b>Past Simple</b> es
<b>Did</b>. Pero solo para la <u>forma afirmativa</u> (<b>Don't
panic!</b>), fíjate bien:<br />

Hi, there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's time to revise "Reported speech". The basic idea is that you use 'Reported Speech' (or estilo indirecto in Spanish) for telling what other people told.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a <b>video</b> you should watch because it offers many examples of tense shift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You could practise the <b>reported speech</b> with the following exercises.<br />

<br />
With this activity you can learn the use of the modal verbs HAVE
(GOT) TO and SHOULD:<br />
<ul>
<li>
We use SHOULD to express ADVICE.<br />
</li>
<li>
We use HAVE TO to express OBLIGATION in written and oral
communication. But we usually use HAVE GOT TO in oral communication,
for example in song.<br />
So it's very common to find HAVE GOT TO in many different
versions, as they appear above:<br />
<ul>
<li>
have got to = 've got to = got to = gotta<br />
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Can you find more examples of SHOULD and HAVE (GOT) TO in the
song's lyrics?<br />
Remember that <i><b>have got to</b></i> can appear in different
versions.<br />

Para ello utilizaremos un video y los conectores:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>and / but</b></li>
<li><b>First, / Then, / After that, / Next, / Finally</b>, </li>
</ul>
También aprenderemos el uso de <b>There's / There are </b><br />
1. First, let's have a look at the video:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IPbHpAy3w8w/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IPbHpAy3w8w?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
2. Then, let's answer the question: Usa los conectores para <b>First, / Then, / After that, / Next, / Finally</b>, para indicar el orden en que salen las habitaciones.<br />
Where's the bee?<br />
<ol>
<li>First, the bee is in the living room <b>but</b> it's not in the bedroom.</li>
<li>Next, The bee is in the bedroom <b>but</b> it's not in the kitchen</li>
<li>Then, ...</li>
<li>After, ...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>Finally, ... </li>
</ol>
Repite con cada escena cambiando el nombre de las habitaciones y practica la pronunciación. <br />
<br />
3. Finally, practise There's / There are with pieces of furniture, for example<br />
<ol>
<li>What is there in the living room? / There's a sofa, a table, a picture and a picture.</li>
<li>What is there in the kitchen? / There's an oven, a sink, and a cupboard.</li>
</ol>
Puedes repetir todas las veces que necesites hasta adquirir el vocabulario que estás trabajando<br />
<br />

In this video you'll learn about a construction in English which is a bit complex for us, native Spanish speakers: VERB + OBJECT + TO INFINITIVE.<br />
Watch this video for examples and explaination, it'll only take 2 minutes:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2pHP-nmT2oY/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2pHP-nmT2oY?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
Now, you'll realise that this structure could substitued by a that-clause where the subject is what we call here the "object":<br />
<i>I want you to study harder.</i><br />
<i>I want that you study harder.</i><br />
<br />
Then, the closest structure in Spanish is a Proposición subordinada sustantiva.<i></i><br />
<i>Quiero que estudies más.</i><br />
This is a list of common verbs followed by OBJECT + TO INFINITIVE:<br />
<i>Verbs followed by an object and the <cite>to</cite>-infinitive
</i><br />
<table><tbody>
<tr><th colspan="5"><br /></th></tr>
<tr><td><cite>advise<br />
allow<br />
ask<br />
beg<br />
cause<br />
choose</cite></td>
<td><cite>command<br />
convince<br />
enable<br />
encourage<br />
expect<br />
force<br />
</cite></td>
<td><cite>hire<br />
instruct<br />
invite<br />
need<br />
order<br />
permit</cite></td>
<td><cite>persuade<br />
prepare<br />
promise<br />
remind<br />
require<br />
tell<br />
</cite></td>
<td><cite>threaten<br />
urge<br />
want<br />
warn<br />
wish<br />
would like</cite></td></tr>
</tbody></table>

In this video-lesson you'll learn the differences in use (usage) between the present perfect simple tense and the past simple tense.<br />
If you're already familiar with the form of them you can skip until minute 2,05.<br />
To review the lesson, you can follow these steps:<br />
<ol>
<li>Watch the full video (or skip to the usage part)</li>
<li>When you feel you don't understand a concept. Rewind the video and play it again up to the point you didn't understood.</li>
<li>Take notes and make a diagram in a time-line with examples of present perfect and past simple.</li>
<li>Write questions about difficult aspects. We'll discuss on them in class.</li>

If you think you know everything about present tenses, perhaps you should watch the following videos about ALL their uses.<br />
<b>Present Simple</b><br />
Please, skip the 2 first minutes if you know how to form the present simple tense.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uFpEp83Vh3k/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uFpEp83Vh3k?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
Did you remember all these uses of the present simple tense?<br />
- Using the present simple to talk about regular actions.<br />
- How to talk about general truths, states and situations using the present simple.<br />
- How to describe long-lasting situations with the present simple.<br />
- Using verbs of sensing, feeling, thinking or speaking with the present simple.<br />
- How to use the present simple to tell jokes or stories in conversational English.<br />
- Using the present simple in commentary, e.g. for a sports match.<br />
- Using the present simple to talk about future schedules.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Present Continuous</b><br />
Again, if you know how to form the present continuous you can skip the first minute and half (1.30 minutes).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W1xJ4bk1pGc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W1xJ4bk1pGc?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<b> </b>As you can see, apart from using the present continuous for expressing:<br />
- that an action is going on<br />
- or an arragement in the future,<br />
you can also use it for expressing:<br />
- disgusting repetition with the adequate adverb Chema C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17581547251639191504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169763740767523755.post-63004810485565101702016-06-09T10:13:00.000+02:002016-06-09T10:13:03.565+02:00Joining sentences with the relative pronouns: WHO, WHICH, WHERE, WHOSE<b>FORM & MEANING.</b><br />
A relative clause tells us which thing or person the speaker
means.<br />
"The man who works in the bank is my brother" - 'who
works in the bank' tells us which man.<br />
<ul>
<li>
We use <strong>who</strong> in relative clauses for a
person. Who is followed by a verb.<br />
</li>
<li>
We use <strong>whose</strong> in relative clauses instead
of his/hers/theirs. Whose is followed by a noun.<br />
</li>
<li>
We use <strong>where</strong> in relative clauses to talk
about a place. Where is followed by a noun or pronoun.<br />
</li>
<li>
We use <strong>which</strong> (and that) in relative
clauses to talk about a thing.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<b>USE.</b><br />
Relative pronouns are words like <i>who, which, where and whose</i>.
A relative pronoun serves two purposes. It acts as the subject or the
object (who, which), the place (where) or possessive pronoun (whose)
in the relative clause. It also serves as a conjunction connecting
the two clauses.<br />
Examples:<br />
I have a <b>friend</b>. <b>She</b> lives in New England.<br />
I have a friend <b>who</b> lives in New England.<br />
<b>PRACTICE.</b><br />

Es fácil detectar esas palabras <b>cuando leemos </b>porque son aquellas que más <b>significado</b> les dan a la frase. Como ya sabemos esas palabras en inglés las hemos llamado "Strong Words" y son principalmente los <b>sustantivos</b>, los <b>adjetivos</b> y los <b>verbos</b> principales. También pueden ser las <b>expresiones de tiempo</b> y las <b>palabras interrogativas</b> en las preguntas.<br />
Sin embargo <b>cuando escuchamos</b> esas palabras en una lengua que no es la nuestra nos cuesta más trabajo identificarlas. Al hablar en inglés las "<b>strong words</b>" son las que le dan el ritmo a la frase, es decir le dan una musicalidad. Eso es lo que debes intentar hacer cuando leas en voz alta, es decir, pronunciar bien las "strong words" para llevar <b>la música de la frase</b>.<br />
Parece difícil pero no lo es tanto. Hay un truco para aprender a hacer esto escuchando canciones. Las canciones de rap son las que más marcan el ritmo con las "strong words" pero suelen ser muy rápidas.<br />
Para comenzar a practicar te aconsejo que empieces por una más lenta y conocida, como "Don't Worry, Be Happy"<br />
<ul>
<li>1. Escucha la canción. Aquí tienes una versión bastante graciosa</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d-diB65scQU/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d-diB65scQU?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<ul>
<li> 2. Vuelve a escucharla pero ahora lee la letra e intenta detectar cuáles son los golpes de voz más fuertes en cada línea. Aquí tienes una web en la que puedes leer la letra <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobbymcferrin/dontworrybehappy.html" target="_blank">http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobbymcferrin/dontworrybehappy.html</a> . </li>
<li>3. Cuando empieces a escuchar te darás cuenta de que las palabras débiles "Weak words" también se pronuncian, pero menos fuerte que las que llevan el ritmo. Aquí tienes las "Strong words" de las primeras líneas:</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Here</b>'s a <b>little</b> <b>song</b> I <b>wrote</b><br />
You might <b>want</b> to <b>sing</b> it <b>note</b> for <b>note</b><br />
<b>Don't</b> <b>worry</b>, be <b>happy</b></div>
<ul>
<li>4. Practica con toda la canción y reconocerás el ritmo que lleva.</li>
</ul>
Cuando leas en el examen tendrás que haber trabajado en casa la pronunciación de las "strong words", y haber escuchado el audio de la lectura para aprender a llevar el ritmo.<br />

Las cosas que "hay" o que "no hay" pueden ser <i>Countable </i>o <i>Uncountable</i>.<br />
Y de todo ello depende que utilicemos bien <i>a (an)</i>, <i>some </i>y <i>any</i>.<br />
En la siguiente presentación podrás estudiar cómo se utilizan.<br />
