Underwater Caves in Mexico: What are Cenotes?


By Shelley
Updated June 11, 2022
(FRAGMENT) Mexico Culture Blogs, Yucatan Peninsula
https://travelmexicosolo.com/best-underwater-caves-in-mexico/

The word cenote means “sinkhole,” or limestone sinkhole, but they are
essentially natural fresh water pools. Most of them were connected by
underground rivers, and located in the Riviera Maya. Some are above
ground, and some are underwater caves with unique geological
formations.

The Yucatan Peninsula was home of the ancient Mayans and yet for the
Mayan people in Mexico. Due to Cenotes were their largest source of
water to drink, they were considered sacred places of great reverence
and still now.

There are several cenotes you can explore including Cenote El Pit and
Cenote Pet Cemetery. The Pet Cemetery Cenote earned its nickname
because there have been human remains, animal remains and extinct
fauna discovered throughout the years. In fact, the oldest human skeleton
and skeletal remains on the Americas, known as Naia, were found here.

THERE WAS & THERE WERE GRAMMAR

La estructura en inglés 'there was' y 'there were' se utiliza para expresar cantidad en pasado. Vamos a ver un
ejemplo para comprender a qué hacemos referencia.

Había una mujer en el parque.


Había dos mujeres en una cafetería.

Lo único que debemos tener en cuenta para usar esta estructura es si estamos hablando de singular o plural,
así como la forma correcta del verbo 'to be.'

► AFIRMATIVA: Utilizamos ‘there was’ con cuando hablamos en singular. Sin embargo, si hablamos en plural
utilizamos ‘there were’.

there + was/were + resto de frase

Había una mujer en el parque.


There was a woman in the park.
Había dos mujeres en una cafetería.
There were two women in a café.

* Recuerda que este verbo es impersonal y en español no existe diferencia para singular y plural. En inglés sí
hacemos distinción.

► NEGATIVA: Para hacer las negaciones negamos el verbo ‘to be’ añadiendo la partícula ‘not’ detrás del
verbo o con la forma contraída.

there + wasn't/weren't + resto de frase

No había una mujer en el parque.


There wasn't a woman in the park.
No había dos mujeres en una cafetería.
There weren't two women in a café.

11
Subsecretaría de Educación Media Superior
Dirección General de Educación Tecnológica Industrial y de Servicios
Dirección Académica e Innovación Educativa
Subdirección de Innovación Académica

* Podemos encontrar la forma completa 'there was not' o 'there were not', pero es mucho más común la
forma contraída.

► INTERROGATIVA: Para la formación de preguntas necesitamos invertir el verbo ‘to be’ y la partícula
'there', tal y como vemos en el ejemplo.

was/were + there + resto de frase?

¿Había una mujer en el parque?


Was there a woman in the park?
¿Había dos mujeres en una cafetería?
Were there two women in a café?

► RESPUESTAS CORTAS: Para dar respuestas cortas debemos utilizar la forma correspondiente del verbo 'to
be' en pasado, respetando si es singular o plural.

Is there a woman in the park?


Yes, there was. / No, there wasn’t.

Are there two women in a café?

Yes, there were. / No, there weren’t.

* Utilizamos la forma completa en las respuestas afirmativas, mientras que utilizamos la forma contraída en
las respuestas negativas.

Los aspectos importantes que debemos tener en cuenta son los siguientes:
▪ Es importante que conozcas el verbo To Be (forma en pasado) ya que te ayudará a
comprender mejor las formas usadas en este tiempo.
▪ Recuerda que el verbo 'haber' en español es impersonal y por lo tanto no hay diferencia
entre singular y plural. Sin embargo, en inglés sí distinguimos entre singular y plural.
▪ Este verbo suele combinarse con las partículas some y Any para indicar cantidad.

Activity 21. Underground Cities. Identify the forms There was y There were. Read the passage and
write T if the statements are true or F if the statements are false according to the passage.

UNDERGROUND CITIES

In Cappadocia, Turkey there are over 200 ancient cities under the ground. Some of these cities are about
three thousand years old. There are secret passages between the cities. The passages are sometimes
many kilometers long. Nobody lives there anymore but a lot of people visit them and they are very
famous., They are a tourist attraction.

In the past, however, there were thousands of people living in the underground cities, there were houses,
kitchens, shops, churches, schools and places to keep the animals and food. What was the reason for
these mysterious places? Three thousand years ago, people were frightened of the cold winters and of
the wild animal above the ground. Years later, people were frightened of the Romans, and the cities were
good places to hide.

It probably wasn´t fun living for months, or even years, in these dark places. There wasn´t any electricity
and there weren´t any sports centers, cinemas, parks, stadiums or other exciting places to go. But today
Cappadocia is an amazing place to visit.

I wake up at 7:00 a.m. this morning and I get out of my

and the wind was blowing. I decide that I would go for a
walk to dowtown. I start by walking down my road. I push
open my gate and close it behind me. I walk for kilometers and kilometers along a beautiful country road. I
even visit my grandmother. Along the way I pass a young pretty lady selling fruit. ‘How much are the
pineapple with watermelon bags?’ I ask, “$40 pesos for a bag” she say. I pay the lady and I continue to
walk. I eat all of the fruits except for one, which I drop on the ground, they are delicious.

Oh my god! it have blue eyes. ‘What is his name?’ I ask the man. “His name is Joe,” say the man and they
stayed there for a few minutes.

I realized that I walk for a very long time, because soon the sun begin to go down. It is beautiful! I thought,
I love sunsets. I get home at about 7:30. I is very tired, normally I go to bed at 9:00 p.m. I washed my
teeth, put on my pyjamas, rub my hands together and went straight to bed. As soon as my head hit the
pillow I fall asleep. That is the best walk of my life, I love it. The next day I call my daughter and tell her
all about it.

Activity 4: A strange experience

Instructions: Read the following text and answer the questions below.

Last month I was on holiday in Ireland with my mum and dad. One day, we were
driving through a small village.

It was time for lunch, so we stopped at a restaurant.

It was a large, old building. We looked through the window. There were lots of
people in the restaurant. They were eating, drinking and chatting. A musician was
playing the violin. But there was something strange about the people. They weren't
wearing normal, modern clothes. They were wearing hats, jackets and dresses from
another century. We couldn't understand it. But we were hungry, so we opened the
door.

When we went into the restaurant, everything was different. The people were
wearing normal clothes. The musician wasn't there- the music was on CD. It was a
very strange experience!

TERCER PARCIAL

Session 1
The teacher give to the students the theory about simple past and past progressive using a comparative table
to focus in their uses and examples to establish the differences between these verbal tenses (uses and
sentences formation).

Opening activity: The students make questions, take notes in their notebooks, and identify the differences
between simple past and past progressive.

PAST SIMPLE PAST PROGRESSIVE


What is the formula of past simple? What is the rule of past continuous tense?
The formula for making sentences in the Past continuous tense can be formed in the
simple past tense is subject + verb in past. following way: Subject + Be form
There are regular verbs adding “ed” to the (was/were) + 'ing' form of verb. For
root form of the verb. example, “My brother was cooking dinner
There are irregular verbs that change: yesterday.”
go/went. La regla para formar pasado continuo es

continuous. She was working hard when I arrived.

We usually use could or couldn't to talk about general abilities in the past.

Examples:
She could paint before she started school.

I couldn't cook until I went to university.

When I lived next to the pool, I could go swimming every day.

Could you play the piano when you were 15 years old? Yes, I could. / No, I couldn’t.

I could read when I was four.

Reading
Read about Olivia and Peter talking about their childhood. Then complete the chart.

Peter
I was born in London. My parents were born in London too. My dad was a taxi driver and my mom was a cleaner.
My first school was next to our house, that was good. I was quite clever. I could read and write when I was just six
or seven but I wasn’t very good at sports. I couldn’t play soccer like the other boys, I couldn’t kick a ball at all. I
wasn’t popular at school so my childhood wasn’t very happy. My next school was a really good one in the city
center, West school, and after Oxford University, now I’m a journalist and I love my work. My mom and dad still
live in the same street, I often visit them but when I see my old school I can feel how unhappy I was there.
Olivia
I’m married. I have two children, a son and a daughter. I live in England but I wasn’t born there, I was born in East
Africa in Tanzania. My mom and dad were teachers there at that time, my mom is German but she was born in
Tanzania because my grandfather worked there. My dad is English, he is from the north of England, but after
university he wanted to travel to Africa. I have two brothers. We went to the same school together. I wasn’t in the
town, it was in the bush and it was great fun, there were only two classes, one for the young children who were five
and six, and the other was for six to eleven-year-old children. We couldn’t play outside because it was too hot and
there were snakes. School finished at one o’clock every day and our house was near the sea so we could all go
swimming every afternoon. My childhood was very happy, all sunshine and swimming.

The Arriaga family


My name is Eduardo, I am the eighth brother of a big family.
In my family we are five brothers and five sisters.
Let me tell you something about my family. When
I was a kid, I remember that my father was able to
work all day at the stone workshop to get some
money and give it to my mother. He wasn´t able
to have much free time, but on Sundays he was
able to go to the baseball field to watch the game
with his friends. My mother, A hardworking
person was able to make delicious tortillas for all
of us. Sometimes my brothers and sisters were
able to play baseball together, until one day that
a ball hit my younger sister Laura in the face and
left a scar near her eye. My sisters were not able
to play any sport after that, but they were able to
play with their dolls and play hide and seek with
their friends. My brothers and I were able to go to
the forest to fetch wood to heat the house, heat
the water for bathing, and for my mother to make more tortillas. When my brother Jesus was 6
years old, he was able to play with his broken and old plastic cars. My older brother Alfredo was
able to drive when he was 13 years old. Every time we had time, my brothers and I were able to play
marbles with our town friends. Since I was a kid, I was not able to play many sports, but over time I
was able to play basketball and volleyball. when I grew up, I was able to study and finish a degree.
As you can see, my family and I were not able to have cellphones, internet nor expensive things, but
we were able to learn how to live happy with what we had.
