 Have you ever surfed the internet? ¿HAS ALGUNA VEZ NAVEGADO POR INTERNET?
¿Cómo funciona el presente perfecto? Ejemplos

Present Perfect Simple: Permite conectar el pasado con el presente: una acción pasada ya terminada da lugar a un estado o situación que sigue
teniendo validez en el presente. Se forma con el presente del verboauxiliar have y el participio del verbo principal.

James loves football and plays very well. He has bought (ha comprado) new trainers and now he plays even better than before.
.
James is the team captain because he has never lost (nunca ha perdido) a match.

It looks like his team will win this match as well. James has just scored a goal and the referee has not blown
the final whistle yet. The other team has not scored (ha anotado/hecho ) a goal so far.

El present perfect simple se emplea en inglés para expresar:

1- una acción que se acaba de realizar;Ejemplo:
He has just scored a goal. (Él ha recién hecho un gol)
2- una acción pasada con influencia en el presente;Ejemplo:
He has bought new trainers and now he plays even better than before. Un hecho que hasta elmomento presente es
verdadero.
3- un hecho que hasta el momento presente es verdadero.Ejemplo:
He has never lost a match. (Él nunca ha perdido un partido).
The referee has not blown the final whistle yet. (El referee no ha soplado el silbato aún).
The other team has not scored a goal so far. (El otro equipo no ha hecho un gol hasta ahora).

Formación del "present perfect"

El "present perfect" de cualquier verbo está compuesto por dos elementos: la forma apropiada del verbo auxiliar to have (en presente): has o have -
de acuerdo al sujeto, y el "past participle" del verbo principal. Laforma del "past participle" de un verbo regular es raíz+ed, e.g. played, arrived,
looked.

To Walk: caminar, "present perfect"

Afirmativa Negativa Interrogativa

I have walked I haven't walked Have I walked?
(He caminado)
You have walked You haven't walked. Have you walked?
(Has caminado)
He, she, it has walked. He, she, hasn't walked Has he, she, it walked?

SIMPLE FUTURE: WILL

Ejemplo de „Future Simple‟: ‘I’ll buy you a new computer’.

¿Cómo se forma el futuro simple en inglés?

Es muy fácil: Sujeto + „will‟ + verbo principal de la oración en infinitivo forman el futuro simple afirmativo en inglés. Aunque, como seguro ya sabes, esta
estructura básica se ve modificada cuandola oración es negativa o interrogativa.

Estructura del ‘Future simple’ en inglés

Oración Estructura Ejemplo

Afirmativa Sujeto + „will‟ + verbo „Leia will arrive late because Darth Vader attackedher
spaceship‟
Negativa Sujeto + „will‟ + „not‟ + verbo . „The stormtroopers will not be happy to see Han‟
won´t (forma corta)

Interrogativa „Will‟ + sujeto + verbo + ? „Will Luke call Yoda tonight? ‟

 En los ámbitos más formales de la formalidad, el futuro simple en inglés a veces se forma con el verbo modal „Shall‟ en
lugar de con „Will‟.
 Las formas afirmativa y negativa del „Future Simple‟ admiten contracciones tanto a nivel hablado como en textos informales
(sí, incluimos los „Whatsapps‟). Eso sí, sólo con pronombres personales. En el caso de las oraciones afirmativas, éstas se
formancon:
 el pronombre + „ll. Ejemplo: „You‟ll‟, „She‟ll‟, „They‟ll‟, etc. En el caso de las oraciones negativas, „Will + not‟ se
sustituye por „Won‟t‟. Es más, tan común resultaesta contracción que la vas a ver y escuchar más veces que su “versión
formal”
¿Para qué se usa ‘Will’ en inglés? “¿Para hablar de situaciones futuras?” Pues sí; pero también lo encontramos: Para
expresar voluntad de hacer algo. Esto es,acciones voluntarias. Ejemplo de „Future Simple‟: „Will you help me to destroy Death
Star?‟. Con „You‟ de por medio para dar órdenes. Ejemplo de „Future Simple‟: „Luke! You‟ll control de Force!‟.

-También es posible usar el segundo condicional para dar consejos;
ejemplo:

If I were you, I would buy that house. (Si yo fuera usted, compraría
esa casa)

Estructura

La estructura del segundo condicional tiene dos partes: 1. oración

con IF y 2. Resultado.

1. Oración con IF:

En la frase con IF debemos usar el pasado simple de los verbos
(puedes ir a la lección sobre este tema haciendo clic aquí). Ejemplos:

a. If she worked as an actress (Si ella trabajara como actriz)

b. If they visited us more often (Si ellos nos visitaran más seguido)

Si la oración con IF contiene el verbo TO BE en el segundo condicional

casi nunca se usa WAS, sólo WERE, así:

c. If he were more tolerant (Si el fuera más tolerante)

2. Resultado:

En la oración de resultado usamos el verbo auxiliar WOULD para

afirmativo y WOULDN’T para el negativo + la forma base de verbo.
Ejemplos:

a. If she worked as an actress, she wouldn’t live in this town (Si ella
trabajara como actriz, no viviría en este pueblo)

b. If they visited us more often, we would be better friends. (Si ellos

nos visitaran más seguido, seríamos mejores amigos)

c. If he were more tolerant, he would have fewer problems. (Si el

fuera más tolerante, tendría menos problemas)

Para las preguntas utilizamos la siguiente estructura:

-Would you marry me if I asked you? (¿Te casarías conmigo si te lo
pidiera?)

También es posible usar la palabra “could” en vez de “would”:

Could: pasado del verbo CAN (poder)

-If I had a screwdriver, I could fix the TV. (Si tuviera un
destornillador, podría reparar el televisor)

4º year -

REPORTED SPEECH

Si al contar algo usamos las mismas palabras dichas por el interesado, estamos usando el estilo directo:
He said: “you’re very intelligent”  él dijo: eres inteligente.

Pero si en vez de esto lo contamos con nuestras palabras, entonces estamos empleando el estilo indirecto:
He said that she was very pretty  él me dijo ella era muy guapa.

Los más frecuentes para reportar son SAY y TELL, generalmente en pasado (said – told).
He said that…… He said TO* me that ……… He told me that……
Cuando SAY va con la persona a quien se le dice algo, ésta debe ir precedida por TO

Para realizar los cambios de persona debemos tener en cuenta quién es el que está diciendo la frase y a quién
va dirigida.

Directo Indirecto
I said, “I don’t like tea” I said I didn’t like tea
Paul said, “I don’t like tea” Paul said he didn’t like tea

Mary told me “I like your house” Mary told me she liked my house
Mary told John “I like your house” Mary told John she liked his house

41
Afirmaciones / Aseveraciones / Frases enunciativas
Podemos contar en presente lo que alguien acaba de decir, para lo cual basta con suprimir las comillas y
cambiar los pronombres que sean necesarios.
John says, “I am a British citizen”  John dice: “Soy ciudadano británico”
John says he is a British citizen  John dice que es ciudadano británico
Pero lo normal es que el verbo que introduce la oración vaya en pasado, y es entonces cuando el verbo de la
subordinada da un salto atrás y se producen los cambios en los tiempos verbales y expresiones de tiempo y
lugar, así como en los pronombres. En este caso la oración en estilo indirecto se unirá con that y este that
puede ser omitido. El primer verbo que nos encontraremos en estas oraciones suele ser tell o say.

John said, “I don’t like meat” John dijo “ no me gusta la carne”.

John said that he didn’t like meat  John dijo que no le gustaba la carne.

Cuando la frase enuncia una verdad universal no hay cambio en los tiempos verbales
Paying certain taxes is mandatory” she said  Pagar determinados impuestos es obligatorio, dijo ella
She said that paying certain taxes is mandatory  Dijo que pagar determinados impuestos es
obligatorio.
