• Los adjetivos principal, sheer, chief, main son atributos que se ponen delante de los sustantivos a los que califican: The main road of the town is closed to the traffic. • Sin embargo, afraid, upset, alive, alone, asleep van siempre siguiendo al verbo, por lo que son predicados: She is still alive. • El significado de late y early depende de su posicion. We caught an early train. The train arrived/was early.

I Recuerde que para interrogar y negar, es decir, para formar frases interrogativas y negativas en presente de indicative con la mayoria de los verbos (exceptuando to be y los defectives can, could, may, might, must, ought to, should) se usan las particulas do y does, que tambien se llaman auxiliary verbs. • Estas particulas no se traducen. Solo se usan para indicar que la frase esta, o bien en forma interrogativa o bien en forma negativa. • En forma negativa el do not se suele contraer en don't, y el does not en doesn't. • Does, o doesn't, solo se utiliza para la tercera persona singular. • Cuando se usa la particula does, el verbo se pone en infinitive, es decir, sin s. • No se debe confundir el verbo to do (hacer) con la particula do.
Ejemplos: Do you come here every day? No, I don't come every day. Does he drink wine? No, he doesn't drink wine. What do you do on Sundays? I don't do anything. Does your brother work very hard?

• Will y going to son muy parecidos en este tipo de frases y cualquiera de los dos se puede usar: It will take us a long time to get there. - It is going to take us a long time to get there.
Diferencias • 1. Going to implica que hay sehales que sucedera algo. Will implica que el que habla cree que sucedera. • 2. Going to se usa con un futuro relativamente inmediato; will no implica ningun tiempo en particular y podrfa referirse a un futuro remoto. * This old car is going to break down,
• significa que hace ruidos raros y que nos va a dejar tirades en el camino.

The imperative • El imperative suele tener el sentido de una orden, aunque tambien podemos usar el imperative como sugerencia o consejo. • En ingles se conjugan todas las personas, incluyendo la primera, cosa que en espanol no existe. Cuando traducimos let me come recurrimos a dejame venir.
Imperativo
ven tu que venga el que venga ella que venga (ello) vengamos venid
let me come come let him come let her come let it come (animal) let us (let's) come come
que vengan ellos/ellas
let them come
Jesus said: "Let the children come to me!". Come on boys! Let's play a game of football. Sit down here and eat this! > "Nelly is coming." "Okay, let her come."
• El imperative negative se forma poniendo do not (don't) delante de todas las personas: & Don't let me play. Don't let us play, (let us not play) Don't play. Don't play. Don't let him/her/it play. Don't let them play. Don't let Peter go with you. Don't make so much noise, the children are sleeping. Don't let them play with you. Don't let me see you do that again.
Recuerde que en la primera persona del plural se admiten dos formas de negacion: Don't let us go too early. / Let us not go too early. Don't let's speak about that again / Let's not speak about that again.
• Fijese tambien, que da lo mismo decir let us que let's. • En el imperativo, no existe la forma interrogativa. • Normalmente, en el imperativo no se usa la palabra you. Aunque cuando estudiemos las formas enfaticas veremos que podemos hacerlo si queremos dar entasis a la frase.

Like - would you like? • En ingles el verbo like es exactamente igual que los demas verbos en cuanto a la conjugation. Hay que olvidarse de la forma reflexiva a mi me gusta, a ti te gusta, etc.: "Do you like Marian?" "Yes, I like her very much." "Does she like fish?" "No, she doesn't like it." "Does Mark like running?" "Yes, he likes it quite a lot." "Does your mother like cooking?" "No, she doesn't like it very much."
Verbs + gerund • El verbo like, junto con hate, enjoy, mind, love, dislike, prefer, etc., va a menudo seguido del gerundio: 1 hate flying. - She enjoys reading at night. I don't like people smoking here. She dislikes working with him. I don't mind obeying orders. - I prefer working alone. • De todas formas, tambien se acepta el infinitive con like, love, prefer, hate: I love walking in the country. I love to walk in the country. I prefer coming here. I prefer to come here.
Like • Aunque normalmente aceptamos tanto el gerundio como el infinitive detras del verbo like, hay, sin embargo, una ligera diferencia entre los dos usos. • Generalmente decimos: I like running cuando disfruto haciendolo: Do you like cooking? (iDisfrutas cocinando?) I don't like driving. (No disfruto conduciendo.) 62 STANLEY
• Pero si usamos el verbo like, no en el sentido de disfrutar, sino de preferir, entonces usamos el infinitive detras: I like to wash the car on Saturdays. (No necesariamente disfruto lavando el coche.) She likes to do the housework first thing in the morning.
Would like • El condicional del verbo like va siempre seguido de infinitive: I would like to be very tall. I would like to be a champion. • Lo mismo ocurre con los verbos love, prefer, hate: - I'd love to accompany you on your travels. • Tambien podemos usar would you like + noun + gerund: I would like these people to stop smoking in my office. • El would like se puede usar seguido del infinitive compuesto: I would have liked to have been here when that happened.

• As se usa cuando la segunda accion ocurre antes de que se haya acabado la primera: As I left the house I remembered the windows were open.
• Esto significa que me acorde de las ventanas antes de salir de la casa; probablemente estaba todavia en el umbral. Si decimos when I left dan'a la impresion que el hecho de salir se habia ya completado y que la puerta estaba cerrada detras de mi. • Tambien usamos as para acciones paralelas: He sang as he walked.

Verbs with two objects • Complemento directo se refiere a una persona o cosa que recibe la accion del verbo: They ate the cake. Don't annoy me. He threw the ball. - She dropped the paper.
• El complemento indirecto se refiere generalmente a la persona que se beneficia de la accion expresada por el verbo: Throw me the ball.
Buy your sister a present.
• Se llama verbo transitive el que lleva complemento directo. La mejor forma de averiguar si un verbo es transitive es hacerse la pregunta i,a quien? o ^que? Si se puede responder, el verbo es transitive. I met Peter this morning. ,A quien encontraste? - Peter I am reading the paper. i,Que estas leyendo? - the paper
Posicion de los complementos • El complemento indirecto a menudo se refiere a una persona y se suele poner delante del directo: I gave Peter the book, o detras con to I gave the book to Peter. I sent Jane the letter. I sent the letter to Jane. He gave me the knife. He gave the knife to me. Give me it. Give it to me. I showed Fred the letter. I showed the letter to Fred.

Structures with Get • Get es, quiza, el verbo que mas se usa en el lenguaje coloquial ingles. Se usa, sin embargo, mucho menos en el lenguaje escrito, y algunos profesores opinan que el usar get en el lenguaje escrito es "mat ingles". Get tiene cuatro significados.
• Cuando el get va seguido de un participio, a menudo tiene el mismo sentido que to be:
1. Cuando se usa con un complemento directo, significa algo asf como recibir, obtener, conseguir, coger. El significado exacto depende de la frase:
3. Cuando detras del get hay un complemento directo seguido de un adjetivo, infinitive, participio, preposicion o adverbio, el significado es "causar un cambio":
Did you get the parcel? Can you get the tickets for tonight's concert? Can you get a pound of sugar and a sack of potatoes in the supermarket? I'll come and get you at the airport tomorrow. He got a punch on his nose.
2. Cuando se usa con cualquier otra cosa (adjetivo, infinitive, participio, preposicion, adverbio), get generalmente sugiere algun cambio o movimiento. De nuevo, el sentido exacto depende del resto de la frase. • Cuando lo que sigue a get es cualquier cosa menos un simple complemento directo, casi siempre se refiere a un cambio de estado: las cosas o las personas que se hacen diferentes, se mueven de sitio, comienzan otras actividades, etc. El significado exacto depende de la clase de palabra que vaya detras del get, y del resto de la frase. Con un adjetivo, get tiene un significado parecido a become: - That woman is getting old. He got a punch on his nose.
102 STANLEY
The goods got damaged in transit, (were damaged) The thief got caught by the police, (was caught) He gets invited to all parties, (is invited)
Get him to stop doing that. You can get your hands warm in front of the fire. I can't get Peter to arrive on time.
4. El participio got se usa con algunas formas habladas con el verbo have, cuando se refiere a posesion, relaciones u obligation: I've got a friend who lives in Paris. What have you got in your hand? We haven't got any news yet.
• Hay que observar, no obstante, que esto solamente ocurre en presente de indicative.

The Evans had a house in the country. 2. Robert has very good marks at school. 3. The boys will have many things to do next Sunday. 4. Jill and Jane have had a lot of work this year. 5.

Whom did you speak to? ,A quien hablaste? Whom did they go with? iCon quien/quienes fueron? Whom are you talking about? iDe quien estais hablando? (acerca de) Whom did he tell? iA quien se lo dijo? • Ffjese que colocamos la preposicion al final de la frase.

Whom (a quien) • Es complemento indirect© o circunstancial, se usa para personas: This is the man whom I saw. This is the girl with whom he fell in love.
• Sin embargo, en ingles coloquial, a menudo ponemos la preposicion detras del verbo en la oracion de relative. Cuando hacemos esto generalmente usamos who en vez de whom: This is Mr Carter, who I was telling you about.

Which or that (el cual) • Generalmente se usa para cosas, pero a veces tambien para personas: The car (which/that) I bought last week, broke down yesterday.
• Which no se suele usar detras de all, everything, little, much, none, no, o despues de superlatives. Solemos usar that o lo omitimos: Everything (that) you say will be taken
• La forma whom se considera muy formal.

The girl who I asked, told me to come back today. The girl that I asked, told me to come back today. The girl I asked, told me to come back today.
• En las oraciones que proporcionamos una informacion extra se puede usar la preposicion antes de whom (para personas) y which (para cosas). Asf que se puede decir to whom, with whom, about whom, for which, etc.: Mr Jones, to whom I spoke on the phone last night, is interested in your plan.
