Foreword
BASIC BRITISH ENGLISH has its origin in the southern chilean islanders need of communication with the foreign visitors who join us every year. The Chilo Islands offer the foreigners a great opportunity to explore our native forest finding the exuberant vegetation and wildlife that Charles Darwin described in 1834 after his steps by Chile. Its our duty to take advantage of this moment creating facilities for the foreigners to have a pleasant and profitable stay. With good results the visitors may come back and also recommend their friends to do the same wonderful travel. This incipient edition is constructed for adult students that want to remember their knowledge, so, the constant practice of reading, speaking and writing will be the method. This Handbook teaches you how to communicate with simple grammar and vocabulary considering either the street English spoken and the one used in formal occasions. Lets start working then. You are welcome. God save my relatives, friends and my pupils. Paulino

En ingls no existe diferencia entre los pronombres "usted" Y "ustedes" los que son ms formales para nosotros; se usa el pronombre YOU para ambos.
FORMA NEUTRA,
Los pronombres en ingls distinguen entre masculino (he), femenino (she) y neutro (it), tal y como se muestra en la tabla de pronombres. El pronombre personal "it" se usa cuando nos referimos a cosas, animales, fechas, horas y clima. Una de las caractersticas que los diferencian, es que se usan en palabras o sustantivos sin calificacin femenina ni masculina, salvo algunas excepciones.
Examples Where is it? It is eating the food? It is cold to day = = = Where is the book? the cat is eating the food. the weather is cold to day

David needs a new car. Ann is liking you Ann likes you The boys are wanting to play The boys want to play.
67
State verbs
There are some verbs that dont use the ING form. These verbs are named state
verbs.
A way to recognize them is to determine if it is : Action or State verb? Is it expressing an emotion? Is it a thinking verb o a mental activity?
Sense Verbs Feel, see, hear, smell, taste... Emotion Verbs: Admire, love, hate, wish, want... Mental activity verbs: Agree, forget, remember, know, think... Possession verbs: Own, owe, belong, posses... Auxiliary verbs: Be, have...
67
State
I see what you mean (mental)
I'm seeing what you mean It smells burnt ... It's smelling burnt ... I love New York. I'm loving New York I admire him ... I'm admiring him I forget things ... I'm forgetting things I think so ... I'm thinking so ... She is French She's being French ... She has a son... She's having a son ... (possession) (state) (mental) (mental) (emotion) (emotion) (sense)
67

67
Adverbials modify or tell us something about the sentence or the verb. It may be a single adverb, a phrase, or a prepositional phrase, or a clause element. When an adverbial modifies a verb, it changes the meaning of that verb. e.g. The students looked at me. The students looked at me anxiously. (Is a different way to look someone?) When an adverbial modifies a sentence, the meaning of the sentence changes. e.g. I passed all of my exams. Surprisingly, I passed all of my exams. Word groups that are also considered to be adverbials can also modify verbs: a prepositional phrase, a noun phrase, a finite clause or a non-finite clause.

A sentence is a group of words which starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.), question mark (?) or exclamation mark (!). A sentence contains or implies a predicate and a subject. Sentences can contain subjects and objects. The subject Is generally the person or thing carrying out an action. The object Is involved in an action but does not carry it out, the object comes after the verb. EXAMPLE The boy climbed a tree. Subject = the boy object = the tree ,
If you want to say more about the subject or the object you can add an adjective.
67
If you want to say more about how he climbed the tree you can use an adverb. EXAMPLE
There are more things you can add to enrich your sentence.

Structure
Subject + verb + subject / adjective... She likes fish. We live in Achao. They have a horse. They have got a horse. I m sad.
I _________________________________________________ You ______________________________________________ He ______________________________________________ she ______________________________________________ it ________________________________________________ we _______________________________________________ you ______________________________________________ they ______________________________________________
Negative Sentences To construct them we need the auxiliary verb TO DO. There are two forms
67
1- Structure Subject + aux verb (to do) + main verb + subject / adjective She doesn't like fish. We don't live in Achao. They dont have a horse. They haven't got a horse.
Remember that HAVE and HAVE GOT are similar. In HAVE GOT, the word have already works as auxiliary. HAVE, when used alone, needs the auxiliary TO DO when constructing negative and interrogative sentences. With "to be" and "have got" we dont need another auxiliary for negatives sentences. With "have got" the negative word goes between "have" and "got".
2- Structure Subject + verb+ negative auxiliary + noun / adjective... I'm not sad. They havent got a horse
67
Interrogative Sentences Like in the negatives, there are two forms of interrogatives sentences. 1- with verb to do Structure Aux verb (to do) + subject + main verb + noun / adjective Does she like fish? Do you live in Achao? Do they have a horse? Does he ____________________________________ ? Does Diana __________________________________? Do they _____________________________________? Do we ______________________________________? Does the cat __________________________________?
2- With "to be" and "have got" Structure Verb + subject + noun / adjective... Is he sad? Have they got a horse?
67
Has _______________________________________ ? Is Joel ______________________________________ ? Does the bird ________________________________ ? Are we ______________________________________ ?
Imperative Sentences
They are used to give instructions, orders and warnings. The subject is always you. 1- Affirmative imperative Come right now! Tell me the truth! Dont disturb me! Wash your hands! Do your homework! Be quite kids!
2- Negative imperative Do not lie to me! Do not wash in the washing machine. Don't hit your sister!
67
Structure Aux verb (to do) + negative aux (not) + verb + noun / adjective When we participate in the sentence we use lets Let's go! Let's not fight. Lets dance
