1. Algo que, al principio, le resulta difcil de entender a todo
estudiante es que, en castellano, el infinitivo de los verbos tiene
tres terminaciones: ar (cantar), er (beber) e ir (dormir). Ms
adelante observars que los verbos ingles es tienen gran variedad
de terminaciones. Por ese motivo -con el nico objetivo de
unificacin - a los verbos en ingls se les antepone la preposicin
to para indicar que estn "en infinitivo" (ejemplo, to be = ser o
estar ).
2.
En ingls el verbo viene si empre precedido por el pronombre
personal (sujeto de la oracin). En castellano no ocurre lo mismo:
al comenzar una oracin podemos decir soy , estoy (sujeto tcito o
implcito) en reemplazo de yo soy
,
yo estoy

1. En ingls los pronombres personales no se acentan al
pronunciarlos, salvo en casos de nfasis como ya vers ms
adelante.
2. El pronombre I (yo) se escribe siempre con mayscula y el
pronombre you equivale al castellano t, usted, ustedes , vosotros
y vosotras .
3. Adems, mientras que e n castellano se usa usted o ustedes
para las personas que no se conocen o de respeto, en ingls se
usa siempre you. Ej.: You are a good doctor, usted es un buen
doctor: You are a good kid, t eres un buen chico.
4. Recuerda las tres terceras personas del singular: he, she, it. HE
se usa para las personas de gnero masculino (hombre,
muchacho); SHE se usa para las personas de gnero femenino
(mujer, muchacha); IT es el pronombre que usamos cuando nos
referimos a algo neutro; es decir, objetos o cosas, tambin
animales (libro, casa, rbol, manzana, elefante)
5. Observa que en ingls las preguntas llevan signo de
interrogacin slo al final .
6. Recuerda que en el negativo del verbo to be puedes usar dos
formas de contraccin para todas las personas ( you're not o you
aren't ; he's not o he isn't ; etc.) mientras que la primera persona
del singular tiene una nica posibilidad: I'm not .
