3. Plurals
Es importante que conozcas el plural de los objetos porque la interferencia de nuestra lengua
materna puede confundirte y hacerte cometer errores al querer expresarte de algunos objetos en
plural. La gran mayoría de los sustantivos se convierten en plurales sólo añadiendo una “s” al fi-
nal de éstas y no hay algún otro cambio, a otros sustantivos podemos añadirle “-es” al final sin
alterar tanto la palabra, sin embargo, hay sustantivos que, a diferencia de nuestro idioma, cam-
bian completamente (formas plurales irregulares) y esto puede ocasionar que cometamos erro-
res graves al querer añadir una “s” a las palabras y así formar palabras que simple y sencilla-
mente no existen en inglés. Así mismo, existen también palabras a las que debemos cambiarles
la terminación o añadir más de una letra al final. Observa las siguientes reglas para la formación
de plurales y la pronunciación de éstos:

Formación de plurales
-La forma plural de la mayoría de los sustantivos se crea simplemente agregando -s:
a book = two books
a key = two keys
-A los sustantivos que terminan en o, s, z, x, ch y sh se les debe agregar -es:
a glass = two glasses
 a hairbrush = two hairbrushes
-A los sustantivos que tienen terminación “y” antecediéndole una consonante, debe cambiarse
por “i” y añadir “es”:
a university = two universities
a butterfly = two butterflies
-A los sustantivos que tienen terminación “fe” o “f” para el plural se substituye la terminación
“fe” o “f” por “ves”
Wife = wives
Wolf = wolves
-Sin embargo, hay varios sustantivos que tienen formas plurales irregulares:
a child = two children
a woman = two women
a man = two men
a person = two people
a mouse = two mice

Ejemplo: En la siguiente tabla observa diferentes palabras que se relacionan con las reglas de
las que se te habló anteriormente. Observa que algunas palabras sufren un cambio muy visible:
Potato potatoes
glass glasses
day days
cake cakes
Flower flowers
child children
lady ladies
man men
box boxes
party parties
Exercise 5.
Escribe el plural de las siguientes palabras:
1. City _______________
2. Watch ______________
3. Person ______________
4. Boy ______________
5. Knife ______________
6. Tomato _____________
7. Child _______________
8. Mouse ______________
9. Banana _____________
10. Kiss _____________

 4. Demonstratives
En inglés se utilizan como adjetivos demostrativos singular "this" (este / esta) y "that" (ese / esa
/aquella/aquel). La diferencia entre “this y “that” es la distancia. Mencionamos “this” cuando
estamos relativamente cerca del objeto o persona de la que se habla.
This is my car. Este es mi coche
Mencionamos “that” cuando estamos alejados del objeto o persona de la que se habla.
That is my car. Ese es mi coche
La forma plural de los adjetivos demostrativos son: "these" (estos / estas) y "those" (esos / esas
/ aquellos / aquellas). La diferencia entre ellos es la distancia. Mencionamos “these” cuando
estamos relativamente cerca de los objetos o personas de la que se habla.
These are my key. Estas son mis llaves
Mencionamos “those” cuando estamos lejos de los objetos o personas de la que se habla.
Those are my keys. Esas son mis llaves

Exercise 6. Llena los espacios con: this, these, that or those.

1. _________ is a red box.
2. _________ is a blue box.
3. __________are boxes.
4. ___________are boxes
5.________________ is a red box and __________ is a blue box.
