About the future

1. EL ORDEN DE LOS ADJETIVOS

¿Te has preguntado alguna vez por qué en inglés decimos “Little White car” y no “White Little
car”?

Es porque en inglés tenemos un orden establecido para el uso de adjetivos para describir
objetos.

El orden de los adjetivos generalmente se explica así:

Página 3
Ahora, esta es una descripción bastante detallada de un coche y generalmente no utilizaríamos
tantas palabras seguidas para describir una cosa. Es una descripción larga, pero es una buena
manera de demostrar el orden.

Así que, ¿por qué es importante el orden de los adjetivos? Si tienes dos palabras en el orden
incorrecto al describir un objeto, la gente de todas formas te entenderá. Aunque si sonaría
extraño para un hablante nativo de inglés si tienes las palabras en el orden incorrecto.

Por lo tanto, si deseas que tu inglés suene más fluido, será importante colocar los adjetivos en
el orden correcto.

EXERCISE 1

Ordena los siguientes adjetivos.

1) A ……. woman. (Spanish/nice/old)

2) A……….. table (square/big/wooden)
3) A…………carpet (Russian/yellow/rectangular)
4) A………beach (beautiful/quiet/long)
5) A………..car (Italian/fast/red)
6) An……….girl (cheerful/young/attractive)
7) A………..paintinG (Spanish/modern/marvellous)
8) An………..book (old/interesting/German)
9) An……..watch (golden/old/Swiss)
10) A…………diamond (hexagonal/expensive/big)

2. LA ESTRUCTURA DE UNA FRASE

• La estructura de la oración afirmativa en inglés :

Sujeto + Verbo + Objeto directo

I drink water
You read a book
We love them

• La estructura de la oración negativa, el auxiliar se sitúa delante del verbo principal:

Sujeto + Auxiliar negación + Verbo + Objeto directo

I don't drink water

Página 4
 You don't read a book
We don't love them

• En la oración interrogativa, el auxiliar se sitúa al comienzo de la misma:

Auxiliar + Sujeto + Verbo + Objeto directo

Do I drink water?
Do You read a book?
Do We love them?

• Otros complementos de la oración (lugar, tiempo, etc.) se suelen situar al final de la

misma:

I drink water at lunchtime.

You read a book at the office.
We love the weather.

• Normalmente, el complemento de lugar va delante del complemento de tiempo:

I drink water at home at lunchtime.

You read a book at the office right now.
We love the weather today.

1. She lives in New York.

Frases afirmativas: Sujeto + verbo + nombre, adjetivo…

2. I don't like ice cream.

Frases negativas: Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to do) + not + verbo +

3. They have got a dog.

Frases afirmativas: Sujeto + verbo + nombre, adjetivo…

4. He is not tired.
Frases negativas con "to be": Sujeto + verbo + not + nombre,
adjetivo... El verbo auxiliar "do" no es necesario en las frases
negativas en que el verbo principal es "to be".

5. We don't live in Spain.

Frases negativas: Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to do) + not + verbo +
nombre, adjetivo…

6. Has he got a car?

Página 5
 Frases interrogativas con el verbo "have got": Have + sujeto + got +
nombre, adjetivo...?

7. Are they happy?

Frases negativas: Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to do) + not + verbo +
nombre, adjetivo…

10. Do they live near the hospital?

 3. PRESENTE CONTINUO CON FUNCIÓN DE FUTURO

I´M TRAVELLING TO NEW YORK NEXT WEEK!

Introducción

 Para formar el presente continuo debemos conjugar el verbo "to be" y a

continuación colocaremos el verbo principal de la oración en gerundio (infinitivo +
"-ing").

• I am drinking water
• She is not doing her homework.
• Are you dancing with Mark?

 Como hemos estudiado anteriormente, el Presente Continuo (también llamado

presente progresivo) se utiliza para expresar acciones que suceden en el mismo
momento en que se está hablando:

• I am studying English. Yo estoy estudiando inglés. (Está sucediendo ahora).

Sin embargo, el Presente Continuo tiene más usos que veremos a continuación.

Explicación

Usamos el presente continuo para hablar de planes futuros que ya han sido
organizados, planeados o confirmados. Por ejemplo, si ya hemos quedado
previamente con alguien o tenemos una cita.

• I am playing football tomorrow in the afternoon.

• She is flying to Rome next Friday.

Vamos a comparar el futuro con will con el presente continuo con función futuro en
los siguientes ejemplos:

• After work I will do the shopping. Después de trabajar haré la compra. (Es
algo improvisado que se me está ocurriendo en el momento, no lo tenía
planeado).
• Pablo and I are going to the cinema next Saturday in the afternoon. Pablo y
yo iremos al cine el sábado que viene por la tarde. (Ya hemos quedado
para ir al cine, está planeado).
• I think it will rain tomorrow. Creo que lloverá mañana. (Es una suposición,
no estoy segura al 100% que vaya a ocurrir).

Página 7
 • I am playing tennis with Carmen tomorrow at 12.00 h. Jugaré con Carmen
al tenis mañana a las 12.00 h. (Ya he quedado con Carmen, es un plan fijado
con anterioridad).

Diferentes tiempos verbales para hablar del futuro

- I will go to London next

month
WILL 60% DE PROBABILIDADES DE QUE Aún no he comprador los billetes
OCURRA LA ACCIÓN de avión. Tan sólo he pensado
que sería buena idea ir a Londres,
pero no es nada seguro.
- I am going to have a
shower tonight
Puedo ir de vuelta a casa tras un
BE GOING TO 80% PROBABILIDADES DE QUE día de trabajo y tengo la intención
OCURRA LA ACCIÓN de ducharme cuando llegue, es
decir, es una de las cosas que
tengo intención de hacer antes de
irme a dormir.
- I am getting married next
July
99% PROBABILIDADES DE QUE Ya tenemos fecha, y está todo
PRESENT CONTINUOUS OCURRA LA ACCIÓN organizado para la ceremonia. En
otras palabras, es una cita muy
importante que va a ocurrir a no
ser que haya una causa mucho
mayor y urgente.

EXERCISE 1

Traduce al inglés estas oraciones.

1 Igrid va a jugar al fútbol mañana.

2 No voy a estudiar Inglés el año que viene.

3 ¿Vas a salir esta noche?

4 Chris no va a venir a la fiesta el sábado.

5 ¿Qué vas a hacer el viernes por la noche?

4. FUTURO CON GOING TO

IT IS CLOUDY, IT IS GOING TO RAIN!

Página 8
Introducción

 Podemos utilizar la estructura GOING TO para expresar futuro. Su forma requiere la

presencia del auxiliar TO BE.
 Aunque veremos a continuación la forma afirmativa, negativa e interrogativa con
más detalle, adelantamos a continuación la estructura:

Sujeto + to be + going to + verbo en infinitivo.

Explicación

Formas:

Afirmativa

Sujeto + verbo to be (conjugado en presente) + going to + verbo

• I am going to wash my car (yo voy a lavar mi coche).

• She is going to wash her car (ella va a lavar su coche).
• They are going to wash their car (ellos van a lavar su coche).

Negativa

Sujeto + verbo to be en negativa (conjugado en presente) + going to + verbo

• I am not going to wash my car (yo no voy a lavar mi coche).
• She isn’t going to wash her car/ She is not going to wash her car (ella no va a
lavar su coche).
• They aren’t going to wash their car/ They are not going to wash their car (ellos
no van a lavar su coche).

Interrogativa

Verbo to be (conjugado en presente) + sujeto + going to + verbo

• Are you going to wash your car? (¿Vas a lavar tu coche?).

• Is she going to wash her car? (¿Vas a lavar su coche?).
• Are there going to wash their car? (¿Van a lavar su coche?).

Usos

Para expresar decisiones meditadas con anterioridad, planes o intenciones futuras.

Página 9
Cuando decimos “I am going to do something” (voy a hacer algo) quiere decir que
hemos decidido hacerlo, nuestra intención es hacerlo. También lo usamos para las
acciones que ya hemos planificado.

• On Saturday I’m going to visit my mother. (el sábado voy a visitor a mi

madre).
• They are going to buy a house next month. (ellos van a comprar una casa el
mes que viene).
• I am going to travel to New York in August. (voy a viajar a Nueva York en
agosto).

Esta manera de hablar del futuro, en muchos casos, puede sustituirse por presente
continuo con función de futuro.

• I'm seeing Rocío this evening. Veré a Rocío esta noche (He quedado con ella).
• I'm going to see Rocío this evening. Voy a ver a Rocío esta noche. (Tengo la
intención de verla).

Cuando vemos que algo va a pasar porque es muy evidente (predicciones

basadas en lo que uno ve)

• Look at the sky. It’s going to rain (mira el cielo. Va a llover).

EXERCISE 1

Escribe las frases usando la forma ‘to be going to’. No uses la contracción.

Afirmativas
Tomorrow I/watch TV/in the evening
At the weekend I/clean/the house
On Monday I/go/study English

Negativas
I/do/my homework
Mark/buy/a new motorbike

Interrogativas

You/meet/friends/on Saturday night?

Karen/have a baby?

 1. EL PASADO SIMPLE: VERBOS REGULARES E IRREGULARES

Introducción

 En este módulo vas a aprender cómo expresar el pasado en inglés. Hay dos tipos de
verbos: los regulares y los irregulares.

Explicación

El pasado simple se usa en los siguientes casos:

- Para hablar de acciones acabadas en un periodo de tiempo en el pasado.

• I saw him yesterday. (Le vi ayer).

- Para narrar o describir hechos en el pasado.

• They lived in the country; their house was very old. (Vivían en el
campo; su casa era muy vieja).

ORACIONES AFIRMATIVAS

Para formar la oración afirmativa en pasado, debemos tener en cuenta el verbo, que
puede ser regular o irregular:

Regular verbs
Se forman añadiendo la terminación –ed al verbo. Si el verbo termina en –e añadimos
solo la –d.

• I want > I wanted (Yo quiero > Yo quería).

• She wants > She wanted (Ella quiere > Ella quería).
• I love Paul > I loved Paul (Quiero a Paul > Quería a Paul).

Pero existen otros casos:

- Los verbos monosilábicos acabados en una sola consonante precedida

por una sola vocal duplican la consonante final delante de -ed.

• Rob – robbed
• Stop – stopped

Página 17
 • Sin – sinned
• Hug – hugged

- Los verbos de dos o más sílabas que acaban en una sola consonante precedida
por una sola vocal, duplican la consonante final si el acento recae en la última
sílaba.

• Admit – admitted
• Prefer – preferred

- Los verbos acabados en consonante + y cambian la y por i ,y añade -ed,

pero no los acabados en vocal +y.
• Occupy – occupied
• Carry – carried
• Study – studied
• Play – played
• Enjoy - enjoyed

- Muchos verbos acabados en –i o –p normalmente duplican la consonante

final delante de –ed aunque no cumplan la regla del acento. Aunque existe la
excepción del verbo “travel” ya que per- mite la forma tanto duplicada como
sin duplicar.

• Travel – travelled/traveled- ambas son correctas

• Worship – worshipped

Para negar, no importa si el verbo es regular o irregular. Usamos la forma pasada de

“do not” (did not/ didn’t) seguido del verbo en infinitivo.

• I did not read / I didn’t read (Yo no leí/ leía)

• You did not read / You didn’t read (Tú no leíste/ leías)
• He did not read / He didn’t read (Él no leyó/ leía)
• She did not read / She didn’t read (Ella no leyó/ leía)
• It did not read / It didn’t read (Eso no leyó/ leía)
• We did not read / We didn’t read (Nosotros no leímos/ leíamos)
• You did not read / You didn’t read (Vosotros no leísteis/ leíais)
• They did not read / They didn’t read (Ellos no leyeron/ leían)

Para las oraciones interrogativas usamos también el auxiliar did o did not (didn’t),
seguida del sujeto y el verbo en infinitivo para formular preguntas.

• Did I read? ¿Leí/ Leía?

Página 18
 • Did you read? ¿Leiste/ Leías?
• Did he read? ¿(Él) leyó/ leía?
• Did she read? ¿(Ella) leyó/ leía?
• Did it read? ¿(Eso) leyó/ leía?
• Did we read? ¿Leimos/ leíamos?
• Did you read? ¿Leísteis/ leíais?
• Did they read? ¿Leyeron/ leían?

Irregular verbs

Si el verbo que se va a conjugar en pasado pertenece a la lista que exponemos en la

página siguiente es un verbo irregular y conjuga con –ed. Al final tendremos que
coger su forma de la segunda columna de dicha tabla para todas las personas.
Comer; I ate yo comí. A continuación mostramos la tabla.

2. PRONUNCIACIÓN DE LA TERMINACIÓN – ED

Introducción

 Como has aprendido en el módulo anterior en pasado hay verbos regulares e

irregulares. En este apartado vas a aprender cómo se pronuncian los verbos
regulares, a los que añadimos una-ed.
Explicación

Básicamente, existen en inglés tres formas de pronunciar la terminación -ed de los

verbos cuando se enuncian en tiempo pasado. Vamos a ver cada uno:

Sonido [d]

Cuando el verbo termina en sonido vibrado (es decir, cuando al pronunciar la última
letra sientes que el sonido vibra en tu garganta), entonces, para pronunciar el pasado
en -ed, se utiliza el sonido vibrado [d].

• listen listened [lísend]

• study studied [stádid]

Página 21
 • enter entered [énterd]
• receive received [risívd]
• memorize memorized [mémoraizd]
• jam jammed [yámd]
• rob robbed [róbd]
• clog clogged [clogd]

Sonido [t]

Cuando el verbo termina en sonido sordo (es decir, cuando al pronunciar la última
letra el sonido no vibra, solo truena en la garganta o en los labios y dientes),
entonces, para pronunciar el pasado en -ed, se utiliza el sonido sordo [t].

• walk walked [uókt]

• talk talked [tókt]
• stop stopped [stopt]
• jump jumped [yompt]
• laugh laughed [laft]
• practice practiced [práctist]
• match matched [matcht]
• watch watched [uátcht]
• wash washed [uásht]
• close closed [clost]

Sonido [êd]

Cuando el verbo termina en sonido [t] o en sonido [d] (observa que en los grupos
anteriores ninguno de los verbos termina en esos sonidos), entonces, para pronunciar
el pasado en -ed, se utiliza el sonido [êd], cuya vocal suena muy cerrada y breve.

• repeat repeated [ripírêd]

• invent invented [invéntêd]
• wait waited [uéirêd]
• want wanted [uántêd]
• decide decided [disáidêd]

Página 22
 • add added [ádêd]
• include included [inclúdêd]
• need needed [nídêd]

¿Cuáles son las reglas?

• Todos los libros de gramática inglesa hablan de tres formas de pronunciar los
verbos que acaban en -ed .

• Estos tres sonidos son /d/, /t/ y /id/.

• Para saber cuándo poner cada uno de estos sonidos hay que conocer el sonido
que antecede a -ed. La explicación sigue: “si acaba en /b, v, g, g, dz, etc
(alfabeto fonético) , entonces el sonido es /d/; si acaba en /p, k, tf, etc. el
sonido es /t/ y si acaba en /t/ el sonido es /id/ .”

3. EL PASADO CONTINUO

Página 23
Introducción

 En este módulo aprenderás como el pasado continuo en inglés, su forma y su

uso.

Explicación

El pasado continuo se utiliza para acciones que ocurrieron en un momento

específico en el pasado. Como el presente continuo, se forma con el verbo "to be"
y el gerundio.

¿Cómo se forma?

Para formar el pasado continuo se utiliza el verbo auxiliar "to be" y el gerundio
(infinitivo + "-ing") del verbo. El verbo auxiliar "to be" está en el pasado simple, pero
ten en cuenta que "to be" es un verbo irregular.

Sujeto Auxiliar (to be)

I, He, She, It was
You, We, They were

ESTRUCTURA DEL PASADO CONTINUO

Frases afirmativas

Estructura: Sujeto + verbo auxiliar ("to be") + gerundio.

Ejemplos:

• I was running (Yo estaba corriendo).

• They were eating ( Ellos estaban comiendo).

Frases negativas

Estructura: Sujeto + verbo auxiliar ("to be") + "not" + gerundio.

Ejemplos:

Página 24
 • He was not [wasn't] eating. ( Él no estaba comiendo).
• They were not [weren't] running ( Ellos no estaban corriendo).

Frases interrogativas

Estructura: Verbo auxiliar ("to be") + sujeto + gerundio?

Ejemplos:

• Were you playing? (¿Estabas tú jugando?)

• Were they eating? (¿Estaban ellos comiendo?)

¿Cómo lo usamos?

El pasado continuo lo utilizamos para una acción larga que ya en el pasado fue
interrumpida por otra acción. La acción que se interrumpe está en pasado continuo y
la acción que provoca la interrupción está en pasado simple.

"When" y "while" señalan el uso del pasado simple y continuo. En general, usamos el
pasado simple directamente después de "when" y el pasado continuo después de
"while."

Ejemplos:

• John called while I was watching the TV. (John llamó mientras estaba
viendo la televisión).
• I was watching the TV when John called. (Yo estaba viendo la televisión
cuando John llamó).

Se usa el pasado continuo para hablar sobre acciones en un tiempo específico en

el pasado.

• Susan wasn't living in Spain in 2010. (Susan no estaba viviendo en España en

el 2010).
• We were still working at 9 o'clock last night. (Todavía estábamos trabajando
a las 9 de la noche).

Aquí tienes una tabla que ejemplifica como se forma el pasado continuo en
afirmativo, negativo e interrogativo:

Página 25
Affirmative Interrogative Negative
I was eating. Was I eating? I was not eating.
You were eating. Were you eating? You were not eating.
He/She/It was eating. Was he/she/it eating? He/She/It was not eating.

1. READING: MY LAST HOLIDAYS BY LUCY

My name is Lucy. Last year I went on holiday to south Spain with my best friends,
Joanna andLing. We stayed in brilliant four-star hotels, which had three swimming
pools. It was quite expensive but we really enjoyed and we all got great suntans. I
enjoyed visiting museums and monuments but Joanna and Ling did not like them.

We visited Malaga, Sevilla and Cordoba. In Malaga, while I was visiting the museums
and the cathedral, Joana and Ling were sunbathing In Cordoba, when I visited the
Mezquita, Joana and Ling were eating tapas. And in Seville, while I was exploring ‘The
Giralda’, they were taking a horse ride in a horse carriage.

The last day, I was having breakfast at 6 o’clock, because we needed to take our plane,
but Joanne and Ling were still sleeping. They woke up really late and we almost lost
our flight.

Social Life

1. PASADO SIMPLE VS PASADO CONTINUO

Introducción

 Ya hemos visto como se construyen y usan el Pasado Simple y el Pasado Continuo.

 Vamos a repasar nuevamente cuál es el criterio diferenciador que nos ayude a

elegir cuándo usar uno u otro.

 El pasado continuo expresa la duración de una acción pasada y no indica si está

terminada, mientras que el pasado simple se refiere a una acción puntual que
empezó y acabó en el pasado.

• I worked last Saturday. Trabajé el sábado pasado.

• It was snowing at half past four yesterday. Estaba nevando a las cuatro y
media de ayer (no había acabado).

Explicación

Página 32
DIFERENCIAS ENTRE PASADO SIMPLE Y CONTINUO

• El pasado simple describe acciones acabadas y el pasado continuo no

especifica si las acciones finalizaron o no, sino que enfatiza que estaban en
desarrollo.

He travelled around the world. Viajó por todo el mundo.

I was travelling around the world. Estaba viajando por todo el mundo.

• Para acciones simultáneas: si las acciones son consecutivas, los verbos

irán en pasado simple.

As I saw her I left the room. Cuando la vi dejé la habitación.

• Cuando hay un pasado simple y uno continuo este último resalta la duración de
la acción.
As I was watching tv the telephone rang. Cuando estaba viendo la tele sonó el
teléfono.

• Si las dos acciones tienen lugar durante un mismo periodo de tiempo se usará el
pasado continuo en las dos.

As I was having dinner, she was watching TV. Cuando estaba cenando ella estaba
viendo la tv.

• Para hablar de acciones habituales se suele usar el pasado simple.

She visited her parents every day. Visitaba a sus padres todos los días.

• Sin embargo podemos usar el pasado continuo para enfatizar que la acción tuvo
lugar temporalmente.

When I was ill he was visiting me twice a day. Cuando estaba enfermo me visitaba
dos veces al día (también es posible usar el pasado simple en las dos).

• En narraciones o historias se usa el pasado continuo para describir o ambientar

una acción.
He was walking quickly. He was not wearing her glasses. Suddenly
he fall... Estaba andando rápido. No llevaba sus gafas. De pronto
se cayó...
The Prime Minister died while he was sitting at his desk. El Primer

Página 33
 Ministro murió mientras estaba sentado en su mesa.

• Con los verbos de estado en pasado, siempre que no tengan un significado

especial como ocurre en las diferencias entre presente simple y continuo.

I loved him. Le amaba (verbo estado pasado).

I was tasting his cake. Estaba probando su tarta (verbo acción voluntaria).
She was being silly. Estaba siendo tonta (verbo estado temporal).

EXERCISE 1

1. They arrived early while I a. was still sleeping

2. Paul cooked dinner while we b. while I was watching TV.
3. The doorbell rang c. were having a glass of wine on the

5. She had a car accident because d. she was driving too fast.
6. We took a lot of photos while the e. were standing outside the church.

Página 34
 2. ADVERBIOS DE TIEMPO

Los adverbios de tiempo nos muestran cuándo tiene lugar la acción. Normalmente
van colocados al final o al principio de la frase.
Algunos de estos adverbios son:

At the beginning Al principio

Finally Finalmente
Before Antes
Last week/month/year La semana/mes/año pasado
Sometimes Alguna vez
Tomorrow Mañana
Yesterday Ayer
Since Desde entonces

Hay algunos adverbios que pueden ir en mitad de la oración, como then, son y now.
Van detrás del verbo auxiliar o delante del verbo principal:

• I’m now at home. Yo ahora estoy en casa.

• She son left the office. En seguida se marchó de la oficina.

EXERCISE 1

Elija el adverbio de tiempo que corresponda:

1. I went to the zoo.

Tomorrow / Yesterday

2. My brother doesn’t work here.

Since next month /since last month

Susan’s and Adam’s Clothes

Susan loves going shopping for clothes. She goes to the shopping centre with her
friends almost every Saturday.

She likes to wear jeans and T-shirts every day. She only wears a dress or a skirt and
blouse for parties or special occasions. She doesn't feel comfortable in high heeled
shoes and loves wearing casual and sporty clothes.

In winter, Susan wears a scarf, a hat and gloves on cold days. She doesn't like rainy
days because she hates to wear a raincoat and carry an umbrella.

Susan’s boyfriend, Adam, doesn’t buy many clothes, until last Saturday. He saw a great
pair of baggy trousers, with a lot of pockets and zips. Susan was with him when he
tried them on and they looked so cool!

They came home with a bag full of clothes. Susan bought two sweaters, and a black
belt to wear with her favourite blue dress. She doesn't have much extra money, so she
rarely buys expensive clothes.
