Smart Grammar 5
VERSIÓN DE SMART GRAMMAR 5 EN ESPAÑOL
La forma “Infinitiva”.
Hoy en Smart Grammar 5…..verbos!
Los verbos son palabras muy importantes y muy faciles de identificar!
Hechamos un vistazo a esta lista de palabras y verifiquemos cuales son verbos:
-Run (Correr), Business (Negocio), Read (Leer), Motorbike (Moto), Climb (Trepar), Girlfriend (Novia), Mountain (Montaña), Photograph (Fotografiar),Home (Casa), Jump (Saltar)
Para identificar cuales palabras son verbos tendremos que utilizar la forma “Infinitiva”.
Por lo tanto tendremos que poner “to” delante de cada verbo.
Si eres capaz de hacer esto y suena bien entonces será un verbo.
Miramos ahora la misma lista, esta vez con “To” delante de cada palabra.
-To run (Correr), To business (Negocio), To read (Leer), To motorbike (Moto), To climb (Trepar), To girlfriend (Novia), To mountain (Montaña), To photograph (Fotografiar), To home (Casa), To jump (Saltar)
Seguro que ahora es mucho mas facíl identificar los verbos, verdad?
-To run a marathon, To read a book, To climb a mountain, To photograph the seaside, To jump over a fence.
En cambio no podemos decir:
-To business, To motorbike, To girlfriend, To mountain, To home
No tiene sentido y suena mal…
Si alguna vez te preguntas si una frase es gramaticamente correcta pronunciala fuerte.
Preguntate a ti mismo si suena bien o no.
SMART GRAMMAR 5 : Una cosa importante de la lengua inglesa.
Así que volvamos a la lista que hemos utilizado, hay una cosa muy importante sobre la lengua inglesa:
No es importante la palabra sino el uso que hagamos de ella.
Por ejemplo, de las seis palabras que hemos identificado como verbos, cuatro pueden ser utilizadas como sustantivos:
-You can go for a walk in the rain.
-People who enjoy climbing can refer to a difficult climb.
-My friend to enjoy exercise, often goes for a run.
-I have many photograph in my album.
Como podeis notar no es posible utilizar la “a” delante de “speak” y “Write” ya que estos verbos no pueden ser utilizados como sustantivos.
Con esto es todo por hoy!
Espero os haya resultado útil de una forma u otra!
Hasta la proxima!
ENGLISH VERSION OF SMART GRAMMAR 5
The “Infinitive Form”.
Today in Smart Grammar 5…Verbs!
Verbs are very important words and are very easy to identify!
Have a look to the follow list of words, checking whick words are verbs:
-Run (Correr), Business (Negocio), Read (Leer), Motorbike (Moto), Climb (Trepar), Girlfriend (Novia), Mountain (Montaña),Photograph (Fotografiar), Home (Casa), Jump (Saltar).
To identify which words are verbs we have to use the “Infinitive Form”
In other words we have to put “to” in front of each verb.If you are able to do it and it sounds good than it must be a verb.
Now we check the same list, this time with “to” in front of each word.
-To run (Correr), To business (Negocio), To read (Leer), To motorbike (Moto),To climb (Trepar), To girlfriend (Novia), To mountain (Montaña), To photograph (Fotografiar).
To home (Casa), To jump (Saltar).
Identifying which are verbs is now much more easy right?
-To run a marathon, To read a book, To climb a mountain, To photograph the seaside, To jump over a fence,
Than we cannot say:
-To business, To motorbike, To girlfriend, To mountain, To home
It hasn´t any sense and it sounds no good…
If you ever wonder if a sentence is grammatically right say it loud
Ask yourself if it sounds good or not.
SMART GRAMMAR 5 :One important thing in english
Let’s now return to the list of words above, there is a very important thing to learn about the english lenguage:
It’s not the word that is important but the way the word is used.
For example, of the six words we have identified before as a verbs, four can be also used as nouns:
-You can go for a walk in the rain.
-People who enjoy climbing can refer to a difficult climb.
-My friend to enjoy exercise, often goes for a run.
-I have many photograph in my album.
As you can notice is not possible use “to” in front of “Speak” and “Write”.
These are verbs that can not be used as nouns.
That’s all for today,
I hope it has been usefull for you!
See you soon!
