Como ofrecer algo en INGLES

Hoy hablaremos de como ofrecer algo en espaol. Recuerden que pueden bajar las lecciones a sus reproductores con tal solo hacer click en el link download (y si no pueden hacer click derecho en download y guardar vnculo como).

How do we offer something in English?

Now that we know the structure of some tenses (e.g Present simple, continuous, past, modal verb can, going to) it is important that we focus on PRODUCING and in thinking in English. Remember that we need to look at the situation and use the correct form and structure in English and AVOID TRANSLATING. We do not need to translate because this can be confusing. ** Ahora que sabemos algunas estructuras bsicas es importante que sepamos que estructura usar en la situacin indicada. Debemos EVITAR traducir oraciones completas ya que en Espaol muchas veces se utilizan distintas estructuras que en el INGLES. Veamos entonces como ofrecer algo en INGLES.

Using the verb WANT

We use the verb want to offer something in English. When we use the verb to want we to offer something we will use the present simple. Example:

a) What do you want to drink? b) I want a glass of water. a) Do you want to eat anything? b) Sure. What is there? a) There is some chicken. b) Yeah, I want some chicken. When we use want it is considered not very formal. OBSERVATIONS WITH THE VERB TO WANT: When we use a verb after the verb like, we will use TO +INFINITIVE

TABLE 1 Subject
I/we/you/they He/she/it Want Wants Vern to want To study To be famous

Infinitive

*** Recuerden que hay verbos a los cuales le siguen el infinitivo con el to por delante (como want) y hay verbos que son seguidos por el gerindio o forma -ing (como like)

Using WOULD YOU LIKE ?

We use would you like to offer something. It is a FORMAL WAY to offer. The structure of would is the same as the structure of can. *** Como utilizar el would: Es muy simple. Lo usamos igual que el CAN. Si no saben como usar el can ir a LA LECCION 14 CLICK AQUI Examples: a) What would you like to drink? b) Id (I + would) like some beer. a) I am sorry, We dont have any beer. Would you like some wine? b) Yes, I would. a) And what would you like to eat? b) Id like a sandwich. Similar to want, when we use a verb after WOULD LIKE we will use the TO + INFINITIVE. TABLE 2 Subject
I/we/you/they He/she/it Would like Would like Would like Infinitive To travel To drink

*** recuerden que despues de would like va la forma to + infinitive. WOULD LIKE no es lo mismo que LIKE

DO YOU LIKE? VS-WOULD YOU LIKE?

Do you like?: We use the verb like to talk about preferences (If you have questions READ LESSON 17) Example: a) Do you like apples? (Do you like it in GENERAL We use the plural form if it is a countable noun) b) Do you like dancing? (we use the gerund form after the verb to like) Would you like?: We use would like to offer. Example: a) Would you like an apple? ( we are offering an apple at the moment we use singular if it is a countable noun b) Would you like to go to the cinema? (We some TO + INFINITIVE after WOULD LIKE)

Verbo Gustar Like Como Expresar Preferencias en INGLES

Hello students and visitors. I hope you had a great Easter and today we will talk about the verb to like in the present simple which we use to talk about preferences.

Present Simple (verb to like)

USE (Think in ENGLISH!) We use the verb to like in the present simple to talk about PREFERENCES or to express interest about something or someone.

Subject + verb to like + NOUN

When we talk about nouns (what is a noun?) after the verb to like we talk about things in general therefore we use THE PLURAL FORM for countable nouns. EXAMPLES: - I like mangoes. ( NOT: i like a mango) - Do you like dogs or cats? - What kind of movies does your friend like? NOTE: With nouns that are UNCOUNTABLE (nouns you cannot form in plural e.g. RICE, WATER, MUSIC) we DO NOT put it in a plural form obviously. Examples: - Maria likes beer. (NOT: Maria likes beers because beer in an uncountable noun in English) - What kind of music do you like? - I like Italian food.

Subject + verb to like + verb GERUND FORM (-ing)

When we want to use a verb as a complement we use the verb in the gerund form (ING ENDING e.g dancing, going out, running, swimming etc) Examples: - I like going to the disco. - My wife likes cooking. - What do you like doing? NOTE: In American English you can use the gerund OR the infinitive form after the verb to like. Example: Carlos likes teaching English OR Carlos likes to teach English. *** Notas del profesor. Vemos que el verbo to like es para hablar de preferencias y de gustos en el PRESENT SIMPLE. Si el complemento es un sustantivo usamos la forma plural a no ser que sea un sustantivo no contable. Cuando se use el verbo en el complemento usamos la forma gerundia que es el verbo mas la terminacin ING.

En en ingls americano se puede usar en infinitivo (to dance) en vez de el gerundio. En InglesTotal vamos a recomendar usar la forma gerundio porque los mejores libros lo recomiendan y en muchos examenes tendrn que usar la forma de gerundio.

Adjetivos y adverbios en INGLES Adjectives and adverbs in English LECCION

Bienvenido, Hoy tenemos una nueva clase o leccin en la seccin de gramtica en el curso preintermedio de nuestro curso de ingls. Presentaremos las diferencias entre lo que es un adverbio y adjetivo en ingls y daremos ejemplos para que puedan entender mejor como usarlos. En clases muchas veces los profesores nos referimos a ciertas palabras con nombres como adjetivos o adverbios. Muchas veces asumimos que los alumnos ya saben las caractersticas de cada uno pero la realidad es distinta. Es por ello que hoy queremos esclarecer muchas dudas cuando nos referimos a los adjetivos y adverbios en ingls. Primero hay que ver estos ejemplos:

Adjetivos: They are quiet students It is a fast car The building is nice It is perfect. Adverbios

14

They work quietly. It moves fast. She described it nicely It is absolutely perfect.

Explicacion grammatical
Adjetivos: Los adjetivos describen sustantivos y pronombres. Estos en ingls vienen usualmente inmediatamente despus de el sustantivo que esta describiendo. Los adjetivos tambin pueden venir despus de algnos verbos llamados non-action verbos (to be, look, seem etc) Ejemplos: The houses are beautiful. They are new. (Los adjetivos vienen despues ya que usamos en este ejemplo el verbo ser o estar o TO BE) I live in a big house. That man looks old. I have a preety and intelligent wife. Adverbios Los adverbios describen verbos, adjetivos u otros adverbios. Adverbios que describen adjetivos u otros adverbios usualmente vienen inmediatamente antes de la palabra que escriben. It is an extremely nice apartment (extremely esta describiendo a la palabra nice que es un adjetivo) They found it very quickly (very esta describiendo a otro adverbio en este caso quickly) Adverbs of manner Estos adverbios describen a los action verbs o verbos de accin. Estos adverbios responden a la pregunta Cmo?. Vienen despus del verbo que estn describiendo. Estos adverbios son usualmente formados agregando ly al final de un adjetivo Ejemplos: He walks slowly. Pedro drives dangerously. He returned home quickly.

Existe un grupo de adverbios que no usan la terminacin ly. Estos son: well, fast, wrong, late y hard.

15

Ejemplos: Mary speaks English well. (no existe goodly) He drives fast. (no se pone fastly) My father works hard.

NOTA: cabe indicar tambin que no toda palabra que termina en ly son adverbios. Hay adjetivos que terminan en ly como: silly, friendly, lovely y lonely. Recuerden que en ingls siempre hay excepciones Espero que esta clase corta de adjetivos y adverios en ingls le ayude a poder entender mejor como diferenciarlos.
