ORACIONES NEGATIVAS

The negative form is created by placing the negation not/no after the auxiliary. Most of the time, the word any is used after the negation not in plural. In this case, the auxiliary verb be will be used.
La forma negative es creada colocando la negacin not/no en seguida del auxiliar. La mayora del tiempo, la palabra any es usada despus de la negacin not en plural. En ste caso, el verbo auxiliar to be sera usado.

The word no is commonly used for negative sentences in informal speech. The word no is used after the verb. Negations not and no are not supposed to be used together.

Lesson 7
Adjectives & Nouns
7.1 USING ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE NOUNS
USANDO ADJETIVOS PARA DERCRIBIR SUSTANTIVOS

(a) Las palabras que describen sustantivos se llaman adjetivos. En (a): "good" es un adjetivo pero algunas veces es usado como adverbio cuando se usa despus del verbo to be. Describe (califica) a la parabra (noun) book. Describe que clase de libro es. (b)(c)(d) Decimos que los adjetivos modifican a los nombres (sustantivos). Modificar significa un pequeo cambio. Un adjetivo cambia el singificado de un sustantivo, dando ms informacin acerca de l. (e) Los adjetivos no son ni singular ni plural. Ellos NO TIENEN la forma plural. Vea el ejemplo e). (f)(g)(h) Los adjetivos usualmente se colocan inmediatamente antes del nombre (sustantivo), como se indica en f). Los adjetivos pueden tambien estar en seguida del verbo principal be, como en g) y h).

Note: Adjectives must be always written before the noun except for the verb to be. In this case the adjective comes after the verb to be as in the second example, but they are AND NEVER in plural. Nota: Los adjetivos siempre deben escribirse antes del sustantivo excepto por el verbo to be. En este caso el adjetivo va en seguida del verbo to be, pero NUNCA en plural.

Noun is the name of all things (e.g., house, table, car, Jos, Susie, etc). Noun es el nombre de todas las cosas (ejemplo: casa, mesa, carro, Jos, Susie, etc.) Pronoun is the word that replaces a noun. Pronombre es la palabra que reemplaza al nombre.

Un pronoun (pronombre) y un noun (sustantivo) tienen el mismo significado. En (q): he tiene el mismo significado que Tony. En (r): him tiene el mismo significado que Tony. En la gramtica, decimos que un prombre se refiere a un nombre (sujeto). El pronombre he y him se refiere a Tony. Algunas veces un pronoun se refiere a noun phrases frases se sustantivos.
