TEMA 1: LOS ARTICULOS EN INGLÉS
El aritículo "a/an" equivale a nuestro artículo indeterminado en español(un, uno, una). Utilizamos "a" cuando la siguiente palabra empieza consonido consonántico, y "an" cuando empieza sonido vocálico. Ejemplos:
A dogA carA televisionA human being
An elephantAn appleAn orangeAn hour
Utilizamos "some" en SINGULAR con aquellos sustantivos que no se pueden contar, que son incontables. Ejemplos:
some milk some water some suger some tea
Utilizamos "some" en plural con todos aquellos sustantivos contables. Ejemplos:
a dog - some dogsan elephant - some elephants A car - some carsAn hour - some hours
Como normal general utilizamos some para frases afirmativas en singular, si el sustantivo es incontable, y en frases afirmativas en plural si el adjetivo es contable. Ejemplos: Some milkSome dogs
Como norma general utilizamos any para frases negativas e interrogativas en singular, si el sustantivo es incontable, y en frases negativas e interrogativas en plural si el adjetivo es contable. Ejemplos:
There isn't any milk in the glassThere aren't any dogs in the street
Pero podemos encontrar algunas excepciones. Por ejemplo, si hacemos una pregunta en la que esperamos una respuesta afirmativa utilizamos some en lugar de any. Por ejemplo: Would you like some more coffee?

TEMA 2: LOS SUSTANTIVOS EN
INGLÉS
Los sustantivos son palabras que sirven para designar personas, animales o cosas. Por ejemplo, boy, dog, city o table. En inglés el nombre no suele tener variaciones genéricas, es decir, un mismo sustantivo puede utilizarsepara el masculino y el femenino. Por ejemplo, la palabra teacher o la palabra student. Compara estos dos ejermplos:
My English teacher is a man, but my Maths teacher is a woman.The student in front of me was a girl. The student next to me is a boy. Podemos diferenciar los siguientes tipos de sustantivos en inglés: SUSTANTIVOS PROPIOS MARY, SPAIN, JOHN, MADRID
SUSTANTIVOS COMUNES CHAIR, CAT, WOMAN, RABBIT
SUSTANTIVOS ABSTRACTOS BEAUTY, COURAGE, FEAR
SUSTANTIVOS COLECTIVOS CROWD, GRUOP, TEAM
Hemos referido anteriormente, que en inglés las palabras no suelen tener variación genérica, pero sin embargo hay excepciones en las que se diferencia entre masculino y femenino: MASCULINO FEMENINO
MAN WOMAN
BOY GIRL
SON DAUGHTER
BROTHER SISTER
HUSBAND WIFE
UNCLE AUNT
KING QUEEN
FATHER MOTHER
Algunos sustantivos se forman con la terminación –ess:
2
http://www.ejerciciosinglesonline.com
MASCULINO FEMENINO ACTOR ACTRESS LION LIONESS PRINCE PRINCESS
El plural se hace en inglés añadiendo una -s al sustantivo. Por ejemplo, dog- dogs (perro - perros). Sin embargo, existen excepciones que enumeramos a continuación. 1. Si un sustantivo acaba en "s, ss, sh, ch, x, o (excepto piano, pianos) " , el plural se forma añadiendo - es a la palabra. Bus - bussesKiss - kisses Brush - Brushes Box - boxes Bench - benches Tomato - tomatoes 2. Si un sustantivo acaba en "-y", la formación del plural depende de la letra que precede a la "-y". Si la "-y" está precedida de una vocal el plural se forma añadiendo "-s", pero si la "-y" está precedida por una consonante, la "-y" se convierte en "-i", y despúes añadimos " -es". Ejemplos: Lady - ladiesDay - days
3. Si un sustantivo acaba en -f / -fe, se elimina la terminación "- f / - fe" y se añade "-ves". Thief - ThievesLife - Lives
4. Hay sustantivos que son invariables tanto en singular como en plural, esdecir, su forma del singular y el plural es la misma. Ejemplos: Sheep - sheep (oveja, ovejas) Salmon - salmon (salmón, salmones)
5. Hay sustantivos que solo tienen forma plural. Ejemplos: glasses (gafas)troussers (pantalones)scissors (tijeras)
ADJETIVOS IRREGULARES Man - Men Woman - Women Child - ChildrenPerson - People Foot - Feet

TEMA 4 “LOS ADJETIVOS”
Los adjetivos son palabras que determinan a los sustantivos (persona, animal o cosa). Por ejemplo:
The red book.
La posición de los adjetivos varía dependiendo de sí se refieren a un nombre o a un verbo. Si refiere a un sustantivo siempre se coloca delante del mismo.
A big man
A black dog
A small door
A tall girl
Si se refiere a un verbo entonces se coloca después. Por ejemplo:
She’s British
He is cold
They were late
El adjetivo en inglés es invariable. No varía del masculino al femenino ni tampoco del singular al plural. Por ejemplo:
An old man – an old woman
A red table – two red tables

TEMA 19 “ESTILO INDIRECTO”
Compara la diferecia entre el estilo directo y el indirecto:
Estilo directo:He said: " I don't want to go home yet".Estilo indirecto o repoted speech:He said (that) he didn't want to go home yet.
En estilo indirecto that es opcional. Si se incluye, el registro es algo
más formal que si se omite.
Cuando los verbos como say, ask, tell, etc. (reporting verbs) están
en pasado, cambia el tiempo verbal del resto de la oración en el estilo indirecto. La excepción se produce cuando hablamos de algo que aún tiene validez en el presente.:
- They told me: "Water boils at 100 degrees" ---- They told me (that) water boils at 100 degrees.- She said: "He has to work all weekend" ----She said (that) he had to work all weekend.
Cambios de tiempo verbal en estilo indirecto:

- Verbo + for + verbo (-ing): apologise, thank
Expresiones que cambian en estilo indirecto:
- Tomorrow - the next day/ the following day- Today - that day- Yesterday - the day before / the previous day- Next week - the following week - Last week - the week before / the previous week- Now - then- Here - there- This week - that week

- I don't know YOU - She said she didn't like ME- WE are late - He said THEY were late
Cambios en los posesivos:
That's not MY book - He said that wasn't HIS book.
Peticiones e imperativos en estilo indirecto: (not) to + infinitivo
"Shut up" - He asked me TO shut up."Don't open that window" - He ordered them NOT TO open that window.
Preguntas en estilo indirecto:
- Al pasar de estilo directo a indirecto las preguntas tienen el orden SUJETO + VERBO. Hay que diferenciar entre dos tipos de preguntas: * Preguntas con palabra interrogativa (what, who, where, etc): He asked: "Where are you?" - He asked me WHERE I was * Preguntas cuya respuesta es si o no (sin palabra interrogativa). She asked: are you OK? - She asked me IF/WHETHER I was OK.
Sugerencias en estilo indirecto: Suggest + -ing / that should

TEMA 20 “LA VOZ PASIVA”
USO
Utilizamos la voz pasiva cuando no sabemos que o quien realiza una acción, o cuando éste no es relevante.
After the car accident, Peter was arrested.The space shuttle will be launched on 4th July.
Utilizamos la voz active cuando sabemos quien o que realiza una acción, dado que éste es relevante.
After the car accident, the police arrested Peter.NASA will launch the space shuttle on 4th July.
FORMACIÓN
Utilizamos el verbo to be en su correspondiente forma verbal + un participio:
These computers are made in Japan.The telephone was invented by Alexander Bell.The crime will be investigated by the police.
PASOS PARA HACER UNA ORACIÓN PASIVA
Vamos a explicar como pasar una oración a pasiva a partir del siguiente ejemplo: - The boy bouht the house - The house was bought (by the boy) Primer paso: El objeto de la oración activa (que normalmente es la primera palabra o sintagma nominal que aparece después del verbo principal de la oración activa - the house se convierte en sujeto en la voz pasiva.
Segundo paso: Tenemos que escribir el verbo TO BE en la oración pasiva, en el mismo tiempo verbal que el verbo de la oración activa. Es decir, si el verbo de la
25
http://www.ejerciciosinglesonline.com
oración activa está en presente, tenemos que poner am, is o are en la oración pasiva. Si el verbo principal de la activa está en pasado, pondríamos was o were, y si estuviese en futuro pondríamos will be.
Tercer paso: El verbo principal de la oración activa, se transforma en participio en la pasiva.
Cuarto paso: El sujeto de la oración activa (the boy) se convierte en complemento agente en la voz pasiva introducido por la preposición - by (by the boy)

1. WHO (que ,quien, quienes) - Lo utilizamos para referirnos a personas. Ej: The boy, who you met yesterday, is my brother. 2. WHICH (que, el que, la que...) - Lo utilizamos para referirnos a animales,cosas u objetos. Ej: The car, which you bought yesterday, is really nice. 3. THAT (que, el que, la que...) - Lo utilizamos para referirnos a personas, animales y cosas. Hay una regla en inglés que dice que no se puede utilizar"that" después de coma. Por tanto, no podemos utilizar este relativo en oraciones NON - DEFINING que son aquellas oraciones en las que la oración de relativo va entre comas. 4. WHAT (lo que) - Utilizamos "what" con este sentido cuando es pronombre relativo, y no interrogativo. Ej: What you say is false! ///// I don't understand what you say. 5. WHERE (donde) - Indica lugar. Ej: This is the house where I live. 6. WHEN (cuando) - Indica tiempo. Ej: Yesterday, when you called me, was special for me. 7. WHOSE (cuyo, a, os, as) - Indica posesión. Ej: Maria, whose father is a doctor, is my cousin. 8. WHY (el porque) - Para argumentar una razón de porque se hace algo. Ej: I don't understand why she got angry yesterday.
