GRAMMAR
THERE IS/ THERE ARE
There is / There are significa “Hay” del verbo “Haber”. Se
utilizan para hablar de la existencia de algo en algún lugar.
La diferencia es que THERE IS se utiliza para singular, y THERE
ARE para el plural.

Examples:
• There is (There’s) a book. Hay un libro.
• There are a lot of books. Hay muchos libros.
FORMA DEL THERE IS/THERE ARE
Attention!
Answer True or False!

We use There is/There are to


indicate the location of something.

False!
We use There is/There are to say that
something exists.
Your turn!
Observe the image and
describe what is there?

Use There is/ There are.

Example:
*There are trees in the
park.
QUANTIFIERS
Quantifiers are used to give information about
the number of something.
Used to answer the question how much(Cuánto) or how
many (Cuánto).
The following examples are used to talk about general
quantities:
Some (algo), any (algo), several (muchos)

Example:
• There are some hospitals near here.
• Are there any museums in the neighborhood?
• There are several planetarium shows in the city.
SOME ANY
Significado: Algunos, unos

Uso: Se utiliza tanto para los nombres o Significado: Algunos, ninguno


sustantivos incontables como para los nombres o
sustantivos contables en plural. Uso: Se utiliza en los mismos
Se usa en frases afirmativas e interrogativas (para contextos que “some,” pero en
afirmar algo); se sustituye “any” en frases negativas o frases negativas o interrogativas.
interrogativas.
Significa una cantidad indefinida, pero limitada.
NOTA: Some - Any
En principio, usamos some en oraciones afirmativas, pero también cuando
hacemos preguntas cuya respuesta esperamos que sea negativa, fíjense:
• Isn’t there anything I can do to help you?
• Isn’t there something I can do to help you?

En el primer caso, tenemos la pregunta “estándar”, por así decirlo. El hablante


tiene una actitud neutra.
En el segundo caso, sin embargo, el hablante es consciente de que hay algo
que puede hacer y quiere que el oyente sea consciente de ello, mostrando su
frustración o desacuerdo.
A LOT OF

SEVERAL es muchos o muchas pero con sustantivos


contables Hay muchos libros: There are several books

Sustantivos Compuestos
en inglés

Compound
Nouns
Sustantivos Compuestos en inglés

En español podemos encontrar dos clases de sustantivos


compuestos:
a) verbo + sustantivo, ej. quita-manchas, guarda-bosques
b) sustantivo + sustantivo, ej. ingeniero-jefe
En inglés encontramos más combinaciones del segundo tipo, que por otra
parte tienen una importancia mucho mayor que en español.
EL PLURAL DE LOS SUSTANTIVOS COMPUESTOS
Hay tres reglas para la formación del plural de estos sustantivos:
1. Añadiendo una -s

Bedroom, bedrooms (Dormitorio-s) Armchair, armchairs (Sillón-es)

Overcoat, overcoats (Abrigo-s)


2. Cuando el nombre está compuesto por dos sustantivos y el segundo sirve
solamente de complemento, el primero toma el plural:

Father in law (Suegro) Fathers in law (Suegros)

3. En los nombres compuestos con los sustantivos man y woman, los dos
sustantivos toman el plural:
Man-servant (criado) Men-servants (Criados)
Your turn!
Look for examples of compound nouns and
make a list to expand your vocabulary.
THE IMPERATIVE
The imperative mood indicates the state of commanding. It is used to give
orders, suggestions, directions or instructions.

Example of an imperative sentences:


• Sit down and eat your lunch.
• Visit the museum.
• Please speak louder.
• Don’t walk alone at night.
• Walk about two blocks.
• Turn left on First Street.

Imperative sentences don’t have an explicit subject.


You use a verb in the basic form to start the sentence.
LOCATIONS AND
DIRECTIONS
Your turn!
Look at the map, identify your
initial position “You are here”
and give the appropriate
directions to get to:
• Italian Restaurant
• Hospital
• Supermarket
• Post office.

(Make use of Imperatives and the


vocabulary for locations and directions.)
