Escribir las oraciones siguiendo un orden lgico y

utilizando conectores tales como: First, Second, Then,

Es importante que expresemos nuestras ideas y

argumentos correctamente. A continuacin tienes
un recordatorio de algunas reglas bsicas a la hora
de escribir:
Orden de los elementos de la oracin en frases
afirmativas y negativas. En ingls hay un orden
establecido. Cada oracin debe tener un sujeto y un
verbo, aunque puede haber otras partes de la oracin.
El orden bsico es:
Sujeto + verbo + c. indirecto + c. directo + c.c. modo + c.c.
lugar + c.c. Tiempo
I

solved

the
at
proble quickly
home
m
C.C.
C.C.
C.D.
modo lugar

yesterd
ay
C.C.
tiempo

Recuerda:
Las expresiones de tiempo tambin pueden ir al
principio de una oracin.
Los complementos indirecto y directo deben ir detrs
del verbo.
Los adverbios de frecuencia van a menudo delante del
verbo principal (pero detrs del verbo BE)
Cuando tenemos un complemento indirecto y otro

directo, el indirecto se coloca a menudo delante del

directo:
She
S

gave
V

him
C.I.

a book
C.D.

a book
C.D.

to him
C.I.

aunque tambin se puede decir:

She

V

Orden de los elementos de la oracin en preguntas: Hay

tres posibles modelos:
- Auxiliar + Sujeto + verbo [+ complementos]
Do you live here?
- Pronombre interrogativo (como complemento) + auxiliar
+ sujeto + verbo [+ complementos]
Who did you invite to the party? = A quin invitaste a la
fiesta?
- Pronombre interrogativo (como sujeto) + verbo [+
complementos]
Who invited you to the party? = Quin te invit a la fiesta?
Orden de los elementos de la oracin en preguntas
indirectas: Las preguntas indirectas siguen el modelo
de las oraciones afirmativas o negativas:
Subjeto + verbo
