Use (uso del presente simple) Now that we know the structure/form it is IMPORTANT to understand when we use the

simple present. This will help us talk and participate in conversations. Without knowing the use, we will have problems expressing ourselves. We use present simple in the following situations: - To express habits and routines. Juan plays football on Saturday. I go to work everyday at 8:00 am. - General, mathematical and scientific truths: English people drink a lot of tea Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. NOTE: THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE IS NOT USED TO DESCRIBE SITUATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENNING AT THE MOMENT (NOW) **La forma y estructura es importante pero es indispensable saber el uso. Es decir, tenemos que entender cuando y en que situaciones utilizamos el simple present tense. Estas es la nica forma de empezar a pensar en ingles. Cuantas veces me encuentro con alumnos que saben rellenar un examen pero no saben hablar. Esto es porque no prestan atencin al uso. El uso les permitir usar el tiempo correcto en la situacin correcta y les ayudara a tener conversaciones fluidas. Olvdense de traducciones antes de hablar ingles. Esto les traer problemas y les har hablar lento. Simplemente piensen y practiquen el uso de los tiempos. Como vemos usamos el tiempo present simple cuando queremos expresar, rutinas, hbitos, y verdades generales, matemticas cientficas. NO SE UTILIZA EL PRESENT SIMPLE PARA EXPRESAR UNA ACCION QUE ESTA SUCEDIENDO EN EL MOMENTO: Figure #1: The positive form of the simple present tense Common errors: Remember that when we use other verbs we DO NOT use the verb to be: - Im have two sisters (INCORRECT) I have two sisters (Correct) - She is plays in the park (INCORRECT) She plays in the park (Correct) *Recuerden de no usar el verbo to be cuando quieran expresar otra accin. I va con am solo cuando ustedes quieran decir estoy o soy. SI quieren decir: Yo juego, no es posible decir I am play puesto que estn diciendo que yo soy/estoy jugar.

Present simple We use the present simple to talk about actions we see as long term or permanent. It is a very common and very important tense.

Here, we are talking about regular actions or events. They drive to the office every day. She doesn't come here very often. The news usually starts at 6.00 every evening. Do you usually have bacon and eggs for breakfast? Here, we are talking about facts. We have two children. Water freezes at 0 C or 32 F. What does this expression mean? The Thames flows through London. Here, we are talking about future facts, usually found in a timetable or a chart. Christmas Day falls on a Monday this year. The plane leaves at 5.00 tomorrow morning. Ramadan doesn't start for another 3 weeks. Does the class begin at 10 or 11 this week? Group the sentences Here, we are talking about our thoughts and feelings at the time of speaking. Although these feelings can be short-term, we use the present simple and not the present continuous. They don't ever agree with us. I think you are right. She doesn't want you to do it. Do you understand what I am trying to say. Mix and match Complete the sentences

Ingls - Leccin 10: El presente simple El presente simple, tambin llamado del indicativo, es el tiempo verbal ms simple del ingls. Se suele utilizar para hablar sobre hechos que constituyen hbitos o costumbres. Se forma con la forma base del verbo del infinitivo. Este infinitivo consta de dos partculas: to y la forma base del verbo, as, por ejemplo, to eat es un infinitivo que significa comer. Conozcamos en la siguiente tabla el presente del indicativo:

Conjugacin Ingls 1 per. singular 2 per. singular 3 per. singular 1 per. plural 2 per. plural I work you work he works she works It works we work you work

Espaol yo trabajo t trabajas l trabaja ella trabaja (para objetos) nosotros/as trabajmos vosotros/as trabajais

3 per. plural

they work

ellos/as trabajan

La nica dificultad escriba, como de costumbre, en la 3 persona del singular; de hecho, esta 3 persona es especial a la hora de conjugar verbos. Como regla general se aade s, aunque veremos que existen algunas excepciones. Usos del presente simple Este tiempo verbal se utiliza para expresar hechos o verdades generales. The Sun warms the atmosphere. -> El Sol calienta la armsfera. Tambin usamos el presente simple para hablar de hbitos; en este caso, en la oracin suele aparecer expresiones de frecuencia, como usually oalways. We play tennis usually. -> Nosotros jugamos al tenis ocasionalmente. You study always. -> Vosotros estudiais siempre. Tambien lo usamos para expresar horarior o programas (como el programa de un espectculo teatral). The train leaves in an hour. -> El tren llega en una hora. Reglas ortogrficas para la 3 persona del singular Como regla general, a la forma verbal de la 3 persona del singular se le aade s; no obstante, existen unas cuantas reglas para una serie de formas verbales que son especiales: 1.- Cuando el verbo acaba ya en s, o en un sonido parecido como sh, ch o x: watch -> watches (mirar) dash -> dashes (arrojar) 2.- Cuando el verbo acaba en o, tambin se aade es: go -> goes (ir) do -> does (hacer) 3.- Cuando el verbo acaba en y, y a sta le precede una consonante, tenemos que cambiar la y por i, para a continuacin aadir es: fly -> flies (volar) study -> studies (estudiar) Observa que estas reglas ortogrficas son las mismas que se aplican para formar el plural . Tambin son las que se usan para formar otros tiempos verbales, por lo que una vez que las aprendas tendrs mucho ganado. http://www.aprende-gratis.com/ingles/curso.php?lec=presente-simple

INGLS - LECCIN 11: LA INTERROGACIN Y NEGACIN EN INGLS Se ha apartado una leccin aparte para tratar la negacin y la interrogacin. Ahora que se ha avanzado en el conocimiento del ingls, podemos entrar de lleno en este tema de la negacin e interrogacin. Para negar y hacer preguntas debemos utilizar generalmente un nuevo verbo auxiliar; se trata del verbo to do. Es por esto que, antes de meternos con la interrogacin y negacin del ingls, vamos a ver este verbo. Ya te adelanto que es un verbo muy fcil que no reviste dificultad alguna. El verbo to do del ingls Este verbo, cuando se utiliza solo, significa hacer; pero no en el sentido de fabricar, sino en el sentido de llevar a cabo una accin. Su conjugacin es muy fcil, ya que todas las formas son iguales, menos la 3 del singular que se le aade -es. Las partcula not: la negacin Para negar en ingls debemos hacer uso de la partcula not; muchas veces esta partcula viene acompaada por el verbo auxiliar to do. Aprenderemos cuando se utiliza to do para auxiliar a not, y cuando no es necesario. Cuando queremos negar verbos que se pueden utilizar como auxiliares , como to be y to have, no debemos usar el to do como auxiliar. Aunque es mejor que te quedes con la idea, por ahora, de lo siguiente: para negar los verbos to have y to be no se utiliza el auxiliar. Para los dems verbos debemos utilizar el auxiliar. Aqu algunos ejemplos:

You are the best (eres el mejor). -> You are not the best. She have a car (ella tiene un coche). -> She have not a car. They eat apples (ellos comen manzanas). -> They dont eat apples. Como ves, en las oraciones con los verbos to have y to be no hemos utilizado el auxiliar to do. En cambio, en la ltima oracin si lo hemos hecho; adems de haberlo contrado con la partcula not. Para contraerlos vastaadosar las dos partculas y sustituir la o de not por el apstrofe. Los otros dos verbos tambin se pueden contraer con la partcula not, de hecho, es muy normal verlos contrados. Se sigue el mismo procedimiento: se adosan las dos partculas y a not se le sustituye la o por el apstrofe. La partcula am no se puede nunca contraer! are not -> arent is not -> isnt have not -> havent has not -> hasnt La interrogacin La idea ms fundamental que hay que tener en mente, a la hora de hacer oraciones interregativas, es que es necesario invertir el orden del sujeto y del verbo . Otra peculiaridad es que no es necesario poner la primera interrogacin, las frases interrogativas en ingls solo tienen la interrogacin del final.

Figura 3. Hay que poner primero el verbo y despus el sujeto para hacer preguntas.
