TEMA NO.1
LAS PARTES DE LA ORACIÓN – PARTS OF SPEECH
The parts of speech explain how a word is used in a sentence.
There are eight main parts of speech (also known as word classes).

Most parts of speech can be divided into sub-classes. Prepositions can be divided into
prepositions of time, prepositions of place etc. Nouns can be divided into proper nouns,
common nouns, concrete nouns etc.
It is important to know that a word can sometimes be in more than one part of speech. For
example, with the word increase.
Increase can be a verb e.g. Prices increased and increase can also be a noun e.g.
There was an increase in the number of followers.

Time Expressions in the Present Simple

The most common time expressions in the present simple are: usually, always, never, on
Wednesdays, every Wednesday, twice a week, once a month, in general, every other
day.
Time expressions made up of one word are placed between the subject and the verb in
positive sentences and questions and between the auxiliary verb and main verb in negative
sentences.
 1. I always study hard for exams.
2. Do you usually speak to him like that?
Time expressions made up of two or more words are placed either at the beginning or the
end of a sentence and usually at the end of questions.

1. Ben goes to football practice every Tuesday.

2. In general, I believe that all people can live in peace.
3. you go to the supermarket every week?

Negative Sentences in the Present Simple Tense

When shortening the 3rd person (he, she, it) negative, just remove the o in not and add an
apostrophe (‘) does not > doesn’t

When creating negative sentences, we usually use the auxiliary verbs don’t and doesn’t + the
base form of the verb.

Note: Save the long forms (do not, and does not) for when you want to create emphasis.
When speaking, put the stress on ‘not’.

Read and mark the verbs in the following reading.
