Inglés 3 Presencial - Lunes 16 de noviembre

-Explicamos la diferencia entre nombres contables e incontables y el uso de, some/any/no, much/many/a lot of y how much/how many:

• Countable and uncountable nouns. 

Los nombres contables son aquéllos que se pueden contar y pueden ir en singular o plural.

Boy/boys, car/cars, house/houses, person/people

Los nombres incontables son aquéllos que no se pueden contar y sólo aparecen en singular

salt / water / cheese / milk

Los nombres de alimentos que se suelen comer en porciones, normalmente, son incontables en inglés, aunque en castellano sí se pueden contar:

ham (jamón)/cheese (queso)/bread (pan)/ice-cream (helado)

• SOME / ANY (unos, unas o, a veces, no se traducen) Se usan delante de nombres contables en plural o de nombres incontables. SOME, en frases afirmativas;(EN ALGUNAS PREGUNTAS QUE IMPLICAN UNA INVITACIÓN TAMBIEN SE USA SOME) ANY, en frases negativas e interrogativas

I've got some money / I haven't got any money / Have you got any money?

There are some apples / There aren't any apples / Are there any apples?

Would you like some water? (invitación)

• El determinante NO tiene la capacidad de hacer negativa una frase cuando el verbo está en afirmativa. 

I have no money = I haven't got any money

There are no people in the office = There aren't any people in the office

• Much/Many/A lot of (muchos) - Much se use con nombres incontables y many con numbers contables y a menudo ambos se usan en frases negatives.

          A lot of se usa con contables y con incontables y, a menudo, en frases           afirmativas e interrogativas.

She has a lot of money // She hasn't got much money

I saw a lot of different animals // I didn't see many animals

• HOW MANY/ HOW MUCH. Estos dos interrogativos significan "cuánto/s". HOW MUCH se us a con nombres incontables y HOW MANY con nombres contables.

How many children are there? // How much sugar is there?

Practica: some/any/no

Aprendimos algunas preposiciones de lugar:

• En primer lugar vimos la diferencia entre las preposiciones ON, IN y AT. Las tres se pueden traducir en castellano por "en". La diferencia es que ON se suele usar para expresar que algo está "sobre una superficie". AT se suele usar para expresar que algo "está en un punto determinado" e IN, para expresar que algo está "dentro de un espacio"

at	in	on
En un punto	Dentro de un espacio	Sobre una superficie
at the corner	in the garden	on the wall
at the bus stop	in London	on the ceiling
at the door	in France	on the door
at the top of the page	in a box	on the cover
at the end of the road	in my pocket	on the floor
at the entrance	in my wallet	on the carpet
at the crossroads	in a building	on the menu
at the front desk	in a car	on a page

También hay que recordar que estas tres preposiciones se usan en expresiones fijas:

at	in	on
at home	in a car	on a bus
at work	in a taxi	on a train
at school	in a helicopter	on a plane
at university	in a boat	on a ship
at college	in a lift (elevator)	on a bicycle, on a motorbike
at the top	in the newspaper	on a horse, on an elephant
at the bottom	in the sky	on the radio, on television

Usamos este tiempo verbal para expresar acciones que estaban teniendo lugar en un momento del pasado (Yesterday at 5 o'clock / Last Monday at 4.30) Se trata de acciones que tuvieron cierta duración en el tiempo y que el hablante quiere resaltar. 

I was working yesterday at 11.

Muchas veces este tiempo verbal aparece en combinación con el Past Simple. La acción expresada por el Past Continuous sería una acción larga que se ve interrumpida por una acción más corta expresada por el Past Simple

She was watching TV when I arrived (Ella estaba viendo la tele cuando yo llegué)
He was driving very fast when the police stopped him (Estaba conduciendo muy rápido cuando la policia lo paró)
The post arrived while I was working on the project (El correo llegó mientras yo estaba trabajando en el proyecto) 

Estas oraciones compuestas suelen ir unidas con los conectores WHEN (cuando) y WHILE (mientras)
