Some of the indefinite pronouns in English are:

We use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or what they are. We use pronouns ending in -body or -one for people, and pronouns ending in -thing for things:

Everybody enjoyed the concert.
I opened the door but there wasno one at home.
It was a very clear day. We could seeeverything.

We use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun:

When we refer back to an indefinite pronoun, we normally use a plural pronoun:

Everybody enjoyed the concert. They stood up and clapped.
I will tellsomebody that dinner is ready. They have been waiting a long time.

We can add to an indefinite pronoun to make a possessive:

We use else after indefinite pronouns to refer to other people or things:

All the family came, but no one else.
If Michael can't come, we'll asksomebody else.
I think this issomebody else's coat.

Aunque la gramática del inglés parece sencilla, hay algunos contenidos que pueden complicarnos la vida a medida que aprendemos el idioma, especialmente cuando se trata de este tipo de verbos en inglés, conocidos como los modal verbs, o conocidos en español como verbos modales.

¿Por qué los modal verbs pueden arruinar una tarde de estudios? Porque son capaces de cambiar el sentido completo de una oración; de hecho, estas formas verbales expresan demasiadas cosas y de allí viene la complicación.

¿Cómo elegir el mejor curso de inglés para ti? Conoce y descarga nuestro ebook para saber elegir el mejor curso de inglés y dominar una segunda lengua.

¿Qué son los modal verbs?

Los modal verbs son verbos auxiliares. Esto quiere decir que no se conjugan con las personas gramaticales, por lo que:

No tienen infinitivo (por ejemplo, no existe to can)

No tienen gerundio (por ejemplo, no existe mighting)

No tienen participio (por ejemplo, no existe willed)

Un modal verb puede expresar habilidad, necesidad, condición o "modalidad" (sí, ¡ideas complejas!), de ahí que su significado dependa del contexto de la oración y de los verbos con los que se conjugan.

Por ejemplo: My keys must be in the car; (Mis llaves seguramente están en el auto.)

Aquí el verbo modal must modifica al verbo to be, para indicar que es muy probable que las llaves estén en el coche, estamos casi seguros de ello.

Los modal verbs más usados en inglés son 10:

1. Can

2. Could

3. May

4. Might

5. Will

6. Would

7. Must

8. Shall

9. Should

10. Ought to

Las características de los modal verbs

Son cuatro las principales características de los modal verbs:

1. No se conjugan, como lo vimos en la sección anterior.

2. Modifican a otros verbos, por lo que después de un modal verb siempre hay un verbo en su forma infinitiva (sin el to), por ejemplo:

You can eat better
(Tú puedes comer mejor)

1. Expresan certidumbre, habilidad, necesidad, disposición y obligación.

2. La forma negativa o interrogativa de un modal verb no necesita de un auxiliar, ya que el verbo en cuestión es usado para esos fines, por ejemplo:

I can't swim
(No sé nadar)
Can you drive?
(¿Puedes manejar?)

Modal verbs: ejemplos

Hagamos ahora un repaso de los modal verbs más usados y en qué contextos se emplean.

Can

Expresa habilidad o posibilidad y en español los traducimos como "poder". Ejemplos:

Could

Es la forma pasada de "can", pero también se usa para expresar posibilidad. Además sirve para preguntar con un tono de formalidad (particularmente hacer solicitudes a quien nos escucha).

May

Este modal verb se utiliza para expresar posibilidad y probabilidad. Ejemplos:

Might

Might es usado para dar sugerencias y posibilidades y también se usa para peticiones y ofrecimientos.

Will

Es más conocido por expresar el futuro en inglés, pero también se usa para expresar una decisión hecha en el momento en que se habla o la intención de hacer algo. Ejemplo:

Would

Se usa para realizar peticiones con amabilidad y también sirve para señalar acciones constantes en el pasado.

Must

En algunas ocasiones puede significar suposiciones, pero lo más común es que se refiera a necesidades o compromisos.

Shall

En los últimos tiempos ha caído en desuso en Estados Unidos dentro de la lengua informal, pero en Reino Unido sigue siendo común. Además su significado es el mismo que will. Ejemplos:

Should

Este verbo que se traduce al español como "deber" tiene la idea de una obligación o recomendación. Ejemplos:

Ought to

En realidad no es tan usado gracias a que es sinónimo de should, pero vale la pena repasar algunos ejemplos:

She ought to go with her sister = Ella debería ir con su hermana

We ought not assume the worst = No deberíamos pensar en lo peor.

You ought to be more polite = Deberías ser más amable.

¿Cómo aprenderlos?

La buena noticia es que existen diversos recursos para aprender con exactitud el uso de los modal verbs y no expresarnos erróneamente. En Internet hay una buena cantidad de prácticas, apps, juegos multimedia, ejercicios (orales y escritos) y otros recursos, como estos canales de YouTube, para que después los podamos usar con naturalidad.

Ahora es tu turno de compartirnos qué ejercicios hiciste para aprender mejor el uso de los modal verbs, recuerda que entre todos podemos apoyarnos para aprender más. También nos puedes decir cuáles se te facilitaron más o cuáles nunca has usado.

1. How to Give Basic Information About Your Vacation

Begin your answer by saying where you went, who with and how long for.

For example:

I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks.

I went to Thailand with a group of friends for ten days.

My girlfriend and I went to Rome for a long weekend.

A long weekend means you go for three or four days, usually Friday-Monday or Saturday-Monday, maybe because there's a public holiday on the Monday.

What about you? Where did you go for your last vacation? Who did you go with, and how long for?

Pause the video and make your own sentence. If you want extra practice, write your sentence down. If you really want extra practice, write down three different sentences!

Okay?

Next, let's see how you can talk about what you did on your holiday.

2. How to Describe What You Did On Vacation

What do you like doing on holiday? Do you prefer a more active holiday, maybe with lots of adventure sports and activities, or would you rather do something more cultural?

Or, maybe you just like relaxing on the beach. Whatever you prefer, it's good if you can say something about how you spent your time on holiday.

Let's look at some examples and some good vocabulary for you to use:

I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks. Mostly, we went hiking in the hills and mountains nearby. We also just hung out in the village, playing cards and eating.

Do you like hiking? Hiking means going for longer walks, often in the hills or the mountains.

If you hang out, you spend time without having any particular goal. If you say we just hung out in the village, you mean that you spent time there in a relaxed way.

Let's look at our second example:

I went to Thailand with a group of friends for ten days. We did some sightseeing in Bangkok: the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and so on. Then we hit the beaches in Krabi for some sun, swimming and cocktails!

Sightseeing means visiting the famous places in a city. You can go sightseeing or do sightseeing.

For example, if you go sightseeing in Paris, you'd probably visit the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame and so on.

Saying we hit the beaches is a very informal way of saying we went to the beaches.

You could also say we hit the bars or we hit the clubs. Using hit suggests you're going somewhere to party and have a good time, so you probably wouldn't use it with other places.

Let's do one more example together:

My boyfriend and I went to Rome for a long weekend. We went on a walking tour of the centre and the Vatican. Mostly, we went to restaurants and cafes and sampled as much of the local cuisine as we could fit in our stomachs!

If you , for example a walking tour, you pay for a guide. Often, tours are in big groups. Do you prefer to go on a tour with a guide, or do you like to explore by yourself?

Sample means to try many different things. We sampled as much of the local cuisine as we could means that we tried many different dishes.

Alright, over to you! What did you do on your last holiday? Did you go hiking in the mountains, go sightseeing, or sample lots of delicious food?

Try to make two or three sentences. Use the language from this section if you can.

Pause the video now and make your answer.

Next in talking about your vacation in English, let's see how you can describe the place you visited in more detail.

3. How to Describe Where You Went on Vacation

Can you think of three adjectives to describe where you went for your last vacation?

Here, try to avoid general adjectives like nice or good. Try to find specific adjectives. Your answer will be more interesting!

Let's look at an example:

I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks. We stayed in a very nice village surrounded by nice mountain scenery.

Do you see what we mean? Saying nice doesn't say much. This isn't a very good example. How could you make it better?

Here's one way to improve it:

I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks. We stayed in a very picturesque, sleepy village surrounded by some dramatic mountain scenery.

What do you think dramatic scenery means?

It means the mountains were very impressive and beautiful.

Picturesque is another way to say 'beautiful'. If something is picturesque, it's beautiful like a painting. You can use picturesque to talk about scenery and places.

Sleepy means that the village was very quiet and peaceful.

You can see that using more specific adjectives like picturesque, sleepy or dramatic makes your answer more interesting and expressive.

Of course, you'll need different language to talk about different places. Let's look at another example:

I went to Thailand with a group of friends for ten days. Bangkok is a very cosmopolitan place but it could be a little overwhelming because there was so much going on! Then we went to Krabi, which has some stunning beaches.

Do you know the meaning of the key words in this answer?

Cosmopolitan describes a city which has many different people and cultures mixed together.

Overwhelming describes something which is very intense. For example, a city can be overwhelming if there are lots of people, noises, sights and smells all around you. There's so much to take in that you don't know where to look!

Stunning means 'very beautiful'.

Let's do one more example together:

My girlfriend and I went to Rome for a long weekend. It's a fascinating place but it's quite touristy, too. The best thing was the food, which was out of this world.

Here, we used the adjectives fascinating, touristy and out of this world. Could you explain what these mean?

Fascinating means 'very interesting'.

Touristy describes a place where tourism has grown too much. Often, if you describe a place as touristy, you mean that it's lost some of its original atmosphere.

Finally, if you describe something as out of this world, you mean it's really good and you enjoyed it very much.

Now, it's your turn. Can you describe the place you visited on your last vacation?

You can use the adjectives and language from this section, or you can find your own words and phrases. Try to use at least three interesting adjectives in your answer. Pause the video and do it now, either speaking or writing.

How was that? Remember that you can always review a section if you found something difficult.

Next, how can you talk about what you liked or disliked on your vacation?

4. How to Describe What You Liked or Disliked

What's the best vacation you've ever had? What about the worst vacation you've ever been on?

What made these holidays so good or so bad?

Let's see how you can talk about the positives and negatives of your holiday. Here's our first example:

I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks. It was relaxing but by the end I was getting quite bored.

This is good, but it's always better to add a reason if you can:

I went to the countryside with my family for a couple of weeks. It was relaxing but by the end I was getting quite bored, because each day was pretty similar.

What does that mean, each day was pretty similar? Do you know?

It means that you did the same kind of things each day, so there wasn't much variety from one day to the next.

Let's look at our next example:

I went to Thailand with a group of friends for ten days. I loved Krabi, because it was like nowhere I'd ever been before. I wasn't so keen on Bangkok. It's a cool place but it's a bit big and noisy for my tastes.

Saying it was like nowhere I'd ever been before means that the place you went to was really unique.

You can use I wasn't so keen on... to talk about something you didn't like very much in the past. For example:

I wasn't so keen on the food in the hotel.

I wasn't so keen on the museums-I didn't think they were very interesting.

Adding for my tastes after you give your opinion shows that this is just your perspective. You would use it after you give a negative opinion, to soften your idea slightly. For example:

It's a nice area, but it's too developed and touristy for my tastes.

Adding for my tastes makes this sound slightly softer and less direct.

Okay, let's do one more example together:

My girlfriend and I went to Rome for a long weekend. I think I liked the general atmosphere most of all. Walking around the little streets in the centre felt like being in an old film. I wish it had been less crowded, though.

Here, you can use the phrase I liked ... most of all to talk about your favourite thing from your vacation.

Use I wish plus the past perfect ( had done) to talk about something in the past which you would change if you could. For example:

I wish we'd had more time to explore the city.

I wish we hadn't stayed in that awful hotel.

Okay, your turn again! What did you like and dislike about your last holiday? Make at least two or three sentences, and say them out loud. Remember to give reasons to support your ideas.

Now, you should be ready to put everything together into a longer answer.

5. Making a Longer Answer

To make a longer answer, you need to:

1. Say where you went, who with, and for how long.

2. Say what you did.

3. Describe the place.

4. Talk about what you liked and disliked.

Let's do an example using language from the lesson:

I went to Thailand with a group of friends for ten days. We did some sightseeing in Bangkok: the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and so on. Then we hit the beaches in Krabi for some sun, swimming and cocktails! Bangkok is a very cosmopolitan place but it could be a little overwhelming because there was so much going on! Krabi has some stunning beaches, and I loved it there, because it was like nowhere I'd ever been before. On the other hand, I wasn't so keen on Bangkok. It's a cool place but it's a bit big and noisy for my tastes.

Do you see how using simple phrases and ideas, you can build a full, clear, detailed answer? We've added some linking words, but otherwise this is only using language you've seen in this lesson.

Let's do one more example. This time, we'll use original ideas:

I went to Siberia by myself for three weeks. I travelled around, did some hiking and camping, and explored the countryside. I was near Lake Baikal, which is a huge lake with mountains and villages dotted around the sides. It was beautiful in a wild way, and the emptiness gave me a real feeling of isolation and solitude. I liked the people I met-everyone was so open and welcoming. On the other hand, even though it was summer, the nights were so cold! I wish I'd taken a warmer sleeping bag.

This time, I'm using different ideas and some different language, but I'm still following the same structure.

Now, can you make a longer answer like these?

Try it! If it's difficult, review the video or use a dictionary to get the vocabulary you need.

Practise your answer several times, until you can do it fluently and comfortably. You could also talk about other vacations you had, not just the last one. Being comfortable speaking about topics like this can help you in conversation and in tests like the IELTS Speaking Exam!

If you want feedback on your answer from Oxford Online English, put it in the comments. We'll give you feedback and show you how you can improve.

Thanks for watching!
