UNIDAD 2 : PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
Lo importante en esta unidad es utilizar adjetivos, partes del cuerpo, can, comparativos y
superlativos
1. PREGUNTAS Y EXPRESIONES PARA HACER DESCRIPCIONES
Physical Appearance (apariencia física)
Por lo general se utiliza What do you look like? Cuando quieres preguntar sobre la apariencia
física de una persona. Ejemplo:
What do you look like?
I'm short, slim and dark. (Soy bajito, delgado y moreno)
What does He look like?
He´s short, slim and dark. (Es bajito, delgado y moreno)
Personality (personalidad)
a) Utilizamos What are you like? cuando preguntamos acerca de la personalidad. Por
ejemplo:
b)
c) What are you like?
d) I'm shy and serious. (Soy tímida y seria)
e)
f) What is She like?
g) She´s shy and serious. (es tímida y seria)
h)
i) Cuando describimos partes del cuerpo, podemos hacerlo de dos formas:
j)
k) Podemos utilizar los pronombres posesivos my, your, his, her ,its, our, their más la parte del
cuerpo más el verbo to be, más el adjetivo o los adjetivos. Por ejemplo:
My eyes are black and big. (Mis ojos son negros y grandes)
Its ears are big. (sus orejas son grandes)
His eyes are black and small. (Sus ojos son negros y pequeños).
l) O puedes utilizar también los verbos to have o have got de esta manera:
I have black and big eyes / I have got black and big eyes (tengo ojos negros y
grandes)
It has big ear/ It has got big ear. (tiene orejas grandes)
He has black and small eyes / he has got black and small eyes (El tiene ojos negros y
pequeños)
1. PARTS OF THE BODY
2. CAN – CAN´T
CAN significa poder, ser capaz de, saber (tener capacidad física o conocimiento suficiente para
hacer algo). Se utiliza tanto para el afirmativo como para el interrogativo y SIN auxiliares:
He CAN play tennis
(Puede jugar tenis; Es capaz de jugar tenis; Sabe jugar tenis).
CAN he play tennis?
(¿Puede jugar tenis?; ¿Es capaz de jugar tenis?; ¿Sabe jugar tenis?).
CAN'T es la forma contracta o reducida de CANNOT (nunca se escribe separado):
He CAN'T play tennis = He CANNOT play tennis
(No puede jugar tenis; No es capaz de jugar tenis; No sabe jugar tenis).
COLOQUIALMENTE, SON MUY UTILIZADAS LAS FORMAS CORTAS:
Yes, she CAN
(Sí, puede hacerlo; Sí, es capaz de hacerlo; Sí, sabe hacerlo)
No, she CAN'T
(No, no puede hacerlo; No, no es capaz de hacerlo; No, no sabe hacerlo)
3. REGLAS PARA FORMAR COMPARATIVOS Y SUPERLATIVOS:
Rule 1 –Adjetivos o adverbios de una sílaba:
Comparatives Superlatives
Simply add –er Use THE and add -est
Examples: Examples:
smart = smarter smart = the smartest
young = younger young = the youngest
fast = faster fast = the fastest
Rule 1B – adjetivos de una sílaba con Consonante- vocal - consonante
Doble la consonante y agregue “er” Doble la consonante y agregue “est”
No olvide utilizar THE
Examples: Examples:
wet = wetter wet = the wettest
big = bigger big = the biggest
sad = sadder sad = the saddest
Rule 2 – adjetivos con dos sílabas terminados en Y
Cambie la Y por I y agregue -er Cambie la y por I y agregue -est.
No olvide utilizar THE
Examples: Examples:
pretty = prettier pretty = the prettiest
happy = happier happy = the happiest
busy = busier busy = the busiest
Rule 3 – Adjetivos o adverbios con más de dos sílabas(que no terminen
en Y):
Use MORE Use THE MOST
Examples: Examples:
famous = more famous famous = the most famous
interesting = more interesting interesting = the most interesting
carefully = more carefully carefully = the most carefully
Rule 4
LOS SIGUIENTES SON COMPARATIVOS Y SUPÉRLATIVOS
IRREGULARES. NO EXISTE UNA REGLA O MODELO PARA
SEGUIR. DEBEN APRENDERSE DE MEMORIA
Examples: Examples:
good = better good = the best
bad = worse bad = the worst
far = farther (further) far = the farthest (the furthest)
well = better well = the best
badly = worse badly = the worst
little = less little = the least
