We form be going to by using the correct form of be and the infinitive of the main verb.

Subject + be + going to + infinitive

I am going to do sports.

Subject + be + not + going to + infinitive

I'm not going to do sports.

Be + subject + going to + verb?

Are you going to do sports?

the future: GOING TO

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

the future: GOING TO

FUTURE PLANS AND INTENTIONS

We use be going to to talk about future plans and intentions.

I'm going to get new gym clothes.

We use be going to to make predictions when there is strong present or past evidence that something is going to happen.

They're not going to win the league this year - they don't have enough points.

We use the present continuous to talk about future events which are already planned.

I'm meeting Jamie on Saturday.

Sometimes there is very little difference in meaning between the present continuous for the future and be going to.

present continuous

form

We form the future continuous with will be and the gerund form of the main verb.

Subject + will be + gerund

" Your flight has been cancelled " ("Su vuelo ha sido cancelado").

Si has tenido la mala suerte de haber leído o escuchado este aviso, ya tienes algo de experiencia con la voz pasiva en inglés. La voz pasiva, o simplemente "la pasiva" (frente a la voz activa), se utiliza en inglés en diversas situaciones, y en esta entrada vamos a fijarnos en cuándo, cómo y por qué emplearla.

¿Cuándo se usa la voz pasiva en inglés?

Podemos recurrir a la voz pasiva por varios motivos:

1. Cuando estamos más interesados en la persona o cosa que recibe la acción que en la persona o cosa que realiza la acción.

Observa estas dos frases. La frase A es pasiva, y la B es activa:

A. Romeo & Juliet was written by William Shakespeare ( Romeo y Julieta fue escrito por William Shakespeare).
B. Shakespeare wrote Romeo & Juliet (Shakespeare escribió Romeo y Julieta).

En la frase A, estamos más interesados en la obra de teatro, Romeo y Julieta, mientras que la frase B podría encontrarse en un texto sobre Shakespeare, en el que queremos centrarnos más en él que en la obra que escribió.

2. Cuando el "agente" es obvio o no tiene importancia

El complemento agente en una oración pasiva es la persona o cosa que realiza o provoca la acción. A veces no es importante, o resulta tan evidente que no tenemos por qué mencionarlo.

He was arrested last night (Fue detenido anoche).

Aquí no necesitamos decir " The police arrested him " ("La policía lo detuvo"), pues es obvio que solo la policía tiene competencias para llevar a cabo una detención.

3. Cuando estamos describiendo procesos y queremos mantener el carácter impersonal de la descripción.

Si estamos describiendo cómo se hace algo, por ejemplo, queremos centrarnos en las acciones, no en quién las lleva a cabo:

Chocolate eggs are made with milk and cocoa. The mixture is then poured into moulds (Los huevos de chocolate se hacen con leche y cacao. Después se vierte la mezcla en moldes).

4. Para evitar responsabilidades

¿Recuerdas cuando la aerolínea canceló tu vuelo? Es muy poco probable que dijeran:

We have cancelled your flight (Hemos cancelado su vuelo)... aunque eso fuera lo que ocurrió.

Al utilizar la voz pasiva ( Your flight has been cancelled), están evitando asumir la responsabilidad de la cancelación, con la esperanza de que dirijas tu frustración hacia otra parte. Esto sucede igualmente en los letreros que indican normas:

Smoking is not permitted (No se permite fumar)... que realmente significa " We do not permit smoking " ("No permitimos fumar").

O también en afirmaciones como:

Mistakes were made (Se cometieron errores). No hay que fijarse en quién los cometió, ¿eh?

¿Qué reglas hay que tener en cuenta?

La buena noticia es que la estructura de la pasiva es muy sencilla: lo importante es saber conjugar el verbo "to be".

La estructura básica es: sujeto + ( to be) + participio pasado.

Excepciones y variantes

Es posible utilizar la voz pasiva también con tiempos perfectos como el present perfect continuous, el past perfect continuous y el future perfect, aunque mucho menos frecuente, e incluso puede resultar confuso para el lector:

The hotel had been being built for over three years (en español esta frase se traduciría como "El hotel había estado construyéndose...").

En inglés, probablemente, resultaría mucho más claro expresándolo con una frase activa:

They had been building the hotel for over three years (Habían estado construyendo el hotel durante más de tres años).

Por lo general pensamos que la pasiva pertenece a un registro más formal aunque, en realidad, depende de cómo se emplee. Un uso formal de la voz pasiva es cuando hacemos afirmaciones generales con estructuras como " it is thought" o " it is believed ":

It is believed that the singer will release a new album next month (Se cree que el cantante lanzará un nuevo álbum el mes que viene), que equivale a "Everyone believes that..." ("Todo el mundo cree que...").

It is hoped that the new hotel will be a success (Se espera que el nuevo hotel sea un éxito), es decir, "We hope..." ("Esperamos...").

Pero también puede usarse de un modo más informal:

I need to get my hair cut (Tengo que cortarme el pelo); fíjate en que aquí "to get" se utiliza en lugar del verbo "to be".

En este caso se ha optado por la estructura " to get something done ", que es otra forma de pasiva, para indicar que alguien te va a cortar el pelo (probablemente un peluquero), en vez de hacerlo tú mismo.

Errores frecuentes

Es importante que conjugues bien el verbo " to be" y que te asegures de que el participio pasado sea el correcto, especialmente en los (numerosos) verbos irregulares:

La clase la estaba impartiendo un nuevo profesor.

- The class was been teached by a new teacher. ✗
- The class was being taught by a new teacher. ✓

Recuerda que cuando queremos añadir el complemento agente usamos " by", no " for ":

Esta canción fue escrita por Beyoncé.

- This song was written for Beyonce. ✗
- This song was written by Beyonce. ✓

En la primera frase, alguien ha escrito una canción y se la ha dedicado a Beyoncé, mientras que en la segunda es Beyoncé quien ha escrito la canción.

No utilices el complemento agente cuando no sea necesario, o cuando no añada nada importante a la frase:

La Sagrada Familia todavía está en construcción.

- They are still building the Sagrada Familia. ✓
- The Sagrada Familia is still being built by them. ✗
- The Sagrada Familia is still being built. ✓

Un verbo que siempre va en pasiva en inglés es " to be born " ("nacer"):

Nací en la década de los sesenta.

¿Hay ejemplos conocidos?

- Marlena Shaw nos contó que " I was born and raised in the ghetto" ("Nací y crecí en el gueto") en su famosa canción de 1969 Woman of the Ghetto.

- Eurythmics utilizó la pasiva para llamar la atención sobre la importancia de los sueños en su gran éxito de 1983 Sweet dreams are made of this.

Ejercicio

Trata de corregir los errores que hay en la pasiva de estas frases:

1. John took to hospital in an ambulance.

2. The new metro station is been built at the moment.

3. This book is great -it's written for JK Rowling, and I love her books.

4. Rosa Parks borned in 1913, and was an important civil rights activist.

5. The book was writen in 2017.

(Respuestas)

1. John was taken to hospital in an ambulance.

2. The new metro station is being built at the moment.

3. The book is great - it's written by JK Rowling, and I love her books.

4. Rosa Parks was born in 1913, and was an important civil rights activist.

5. The book was written in 2017.

Conditionals 0, 1, 2, 3

General Aspects about Conditionals

1. They are complex sentences because they have a dependent clause and an independent clause.

2. The dependent clause, also known as IF CLAUSE, is the condition.

3. The independent clause, also known as MAIN CLAUSE, is the result.

4. The order of the clauses can be changed.

Zero

Simple Present in both, IF and MAIN clauses.

Zero Conditional

First

IF clause: Simple presentMAINclause: Future

1st. Conditional

Second

Third

IF clause: Past PerfectMAIN clause: Would + HAVE + verb in past participle

3rd Conditional

Structure, usage, and characteristics

English Communication I.U.1

P

IF clause: Simple PastMAIN clause: Would + verb in base form

2nd. Conditional

Zero Conditional ▧Real situations▧The result is always the same if the condition is fulfilled.

1st. Conditional

1. Unreal but possible situations in the future.

2. The result can be generally the same.

2nd. Conditional

Talk about impossible or unlikely situations.

Give advice as if you were in someone else's shoes.

3rd Conditional

1. Unreal situations, hypothetical.

2. Things about the past that we cannot change.

If they hadn't come, I would have been disappointed

(They came, so I'm not disappointed)
Zero Conditional Examples

Zero Conditional Zero conditional sentences describe particular and general situations: Particular situation: everytime the condition is accomplished, only that person gets the same result.

When Joe eats strawberries, he gets a horrible rash in his arms.

If I drink milk, I get a stomach ache.

General situation: anybody can accomplish the condition and get the same result.

If you mix yellow and blue, you get green.

An ice cube melts when you heat it.

3rd Conditional Examples

If you had bought a lottery ticket, you might have won. (50% chance that this could have happened)

f you had bought a lottery ticket, you would have won. (80% chance that this would have happened)

If you had had the opportunity, you should have told him the truth. (It gives advice about a situation in the past)

3rd Conditional We often use the third conditional to express regret or to complain about something. Sometimes, we use should have, could have, might have instead of would have, for example:

1st. Conditional Examples

If I were you, I wouldn't tell anyone about this.

If I were her, I'd apologize for being late.

If I were you, I would dump him and find a new boyfriend!

2nd. Conditional Examples

If I don't argue with my father, he will lend me his car.

Unless I argue with my father, he will lend me his car.

2nd. Conditional In the if clause, we can use were instead of was when we use the simple past form of the verb BE.

1st. Conditional Unless is used to express negative ideas, but its structure is as an affirmative statement.

Verbos modales en inglés: ejemplos y ejercicios en PDF - Amigos Ingleses

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How many motivated students are there in class today?? Please raise your hand!! ¿Quién quiere dominar los verbos modales en inglés? Hoy, desde Amigos Ingleses headquarters venimos a defender a los incomprendidos (y, a menudo, odiados) . modals verbs

Ya sabes: can, could, would, should ... Estos maravillosos verbos modales en inglés que NO, NO sirven de adorno, sino para salpimentar lo que dices de un montón de matices que necesitas, trust me!!!

Vamos a ver cuáles son las principales características de los modal verbs, una de todos los que debes conocer y también encontrarás lista completita recién sacados del horno solo para ti. Así que sit down and buckle up, ¡vamos a por los modal verbs! ejercicios en PDF

Los modal verbs son verbos auxiliares que nos permiten expresar habilidad, prohibición, obligación; pedir permiso o dar sugerencias y consejos; e incluso especular. Not bad, ¿eh? Es que "they're simply awesome!"

Como cualquier verbo auxiliar, estos verbos modales no tienen realmente un significado por sí mismos, sino que su significado depende del contexto de la oración y de los verbos a los que acompañan. And yes, we know what you're thinking now: y entonces...

Great question, dear student. Saber usar los verbos modales en inglés es muy fácil si sigues estas 3 golden rules :

Golden Rule No. 1 - Los modal verbs son invariables. No se conjugan, por lo que no debes añadirle la "-s" de la tercera persona.

Correct: She can speak Chinese Mandarin

Incorrect: She cans speak Chinese Mandarin3 Además, recuerda que, a excepción de "Can", los verbos modales en inglés no varían su forma cuando hablas del pasado o del futuro, así que no tienes que preocuparte de si son regulares o irregulares. Repeat after me: I-N-V-A-R-I-A-B-L-E-S.

Golden Rule No. 2 - Cuando usamos un modal verb para formular una pregunta, lo hacemos invirtiendo el sujeto y el verbo modal:

Correct: Should I see a doctor?

Incorrect: I should see a doctor?

Golden Rule No. 3 - Los modal verbs suelen ir seguidos de un infinitivo. Pero con este infinitivo nunca usaremos "to". Esta forma del infinitivo se conoce como "bare infinitive".

Correct: I might do some online shopping later.

Incorrect: I might to do some online shopping later.

👀 Ojito con esto, dear student, porque es un error muy frecuente.

Y ahora que ya te sabes la teoría, vamos a ver cada modal verb en detalle:

Se usa para...

Expresar habilidad: Isabel can speak both English and Spanish.

Pedir o dar permiso: Can I borrow your pen? Yes, of course you can!

Estos son los primos refinados de "Can". Usamos "Could", "May" y "Might" para pedir permiso de una manera más indirecta y más polite.

¡Ah!, y recuerda que "Could" es la forma pasada de "Can", por lo que también lo usaremos para expresar habilidad en el pasado:
When I was younger, I could put my foot behind my head. I was super flexible!

Todo motivated student ha tenido algún momento de confusión con "Will" y "Would". Sin embargo, las diferencias entre los dos son muy sencillas:

Usamos "Will" normalmente para hablar del futuro o de las intenciones que tenemos de hacer o que pase algo:

En cambio, "Would" se usa para preguntar o indicar deseos y preferencias de manera educada.

Además, recuerda que "Would" se usa para formar el condicional en inglés, por lo que también lo usamos para referirnos a situaciones hipotéticas:

Tanto "Must" como "Have to" expresan obligación. La diferencia entre ellos es que con "Must" hablamos de una obligación impuesta por uno mismo, mientras que "Have to" s e utiliza para hablar de obligaciones impuestas por otras personas o factores externos.

I must quit smoking 👉🏽 Estás empezando a notar ya los efectos sobre tus pobres pulmones...

I have to quit smoking 👉🏽 Tu pareja te ha pedido firmemente que dejes de oler a cenicero...

Si aún no te ha quedado claro, worry not! Te hemos preparado esta lesson sobre las diferencias entre "Must" y "Have to".

"Shall" y "Should" es otro de esos dúos que a veces confunde a los English students, así que disipemos dudas:

Cuando usamos "Shall" en una pregunta, hacemos una sugerencia. Cuando lo usamos en una frase no interrogativa, hablamos de la intención de hacer algo en el futuro (similar a "Will" pero MUCHO más formal).

We shall leave early in the morning. (Esto apúntatelo para cuando tomes el té en Buckingham Palace 👑)

"Should", en cambio, se utiliza para expresar deber u obligación, normalmente cuando pedimos o damos consejo. Es algo así como "debería" en español. Fíjate:

"Ought to" tiende a ser el más desconocido y, sin embargo, es TAN bonito y elegante. "Ought to" es un sinónimo de "Should", pero es mucho más formal y menos frecuente, sobre todo en frases interrogativas.

"Must", "May", "Might" & "Can't"

Los verbos modales de deducción en inglés nos permiten hacer conjeturas y especular sobre lo que creemos que puede estar ocurriendo o haber ocurrido.

Si queremos especular sobre algo que ocurre en el presente o en el futuro, simplemente añadimos el verbo principal en infinitivo sin "to", como hemos visto más arriba; y si queremos hacerlo en pasado, cambiamos este infinitivo por "have" + participio.

Usamos "Must" cuando estamos seguros de que algo es cierto:

En cambio, cuando utilizamos "May" y "Might", solo pensamos que es probable:

Con "Can't" indicamos que creemos que algo es imposible:

You failed your driving test again? You can't be serious!

¡Hora de practicar con ejercicios de los verbos modales!

Más o menos tenemos claro cómo se usa should en inglés, pero shall es el verbo modal que nos trae un poquito de cabeza, ¿verdad? It drives us a little bit nuts, to say the least! Let's get down to business!

1) Usamos shall para hacer ofrecimientos.

El verbo modal shall, se usa en forma de pregunta cuando ofrecemos ayuda. Esto ocurre, sobretodo en inglés Británico.

¡Los buenos ciudadanos educados usan shall a todas horas!

Shall I help you with the bags, madam? - ¿Le echo una mano con las bolsas, señora?

Shall I hold the door for you? - ¿Le sujeto la puerta?

Shall I take your coat? - ¿Le tomo el abrigo?

Shall I call you a taxi? - ¿Le pido un taxi?

2) Usamos shall para hacer sugerencias.

En Amigos Ingleses Headquarters nunca falta el té inglés, así que cada dos por tres se escucha:

Shall we make some more tea? - ¿Hago más té? Y la respuesta siempre es: Yes, please!
¡Tenemos invitados para cenar, me había olvidado!

I can't be bothered to cook. - No me apetece nada cocinar.

Shall we buy precooked food? - ¿Compramos la cena hecha?

Shall we make vegetable lasagna? - ¿Hacemos lasaña de verduras?

¿Compro leche de avena para la salsa? - Shall we buy oat milk for the sauce?

Challenge! Cambiamos lasaña vegetal por lasaña de carne. Mira esta frase. ¿Cuál es la diferencia cuando usamos should en vez de shall? 🙄

En el primer caso crees que es buena idea hacer lasaña de carne.

En el segundo caso no estás seguro de si es la mejor opción. Estás pidiendo aprobación, quizás hay algún vegetariano en el grupo y no quieres meter la pata. You don't want to put your foot in it.
🤓 Usamos should también para dar nuestra opinión.
You should cook a vegetable lasagna, Jane is a vegan. - Deberías hacer lasaña vegetal, Jane es vegana.

¿Algún estudiante indeciso por aquí? Si te pasas el día dudando y pidiendo la opinión de tus amigos, entonces vas a hacer buenas migas con shall.

A Isabel le han invitado a un evento muy glamouroso y está buscando un modelito para la ocasión.

¡La pregunta del millón! 💰 ¿Sería apropiado usar should en las frases anteriores?

¡Claro que sí! En este caso tendría una connotación diferente. Usarías should si estás dudando sobre si llevar esa prenda, zapatos...sea una buena idea.

¿Crees que debería llevar estos zapatos? ¿Es buena idea? Igual no pegan con el vestido, tienen demasiado tacón y te van a hacer daño...

🤓 En frases interrogativas en inglés, utilizamos should para pedir consejo o instrucciones.

Shall se usa también para hablar del futuro con el mismo significado que will, ¿verdad?

4) Usamos shall para hablar del futuro, como sustituto de WILL.

¡Pero no siempre, cuidadito! Mira estas frases y dinos cuál te suena más natural:

La primera, ¿no? Elementary my dear Watson. Sin, embargo la segunda frase es perfectamente correcta, pero solo sería apropiada en un entorno muy formal. En un contexto informal te haría sonar bastante anticuado y un poco pedante.

Ahora imagina que trabajas en Buckingham Palace y estás al teléfono con la mismísima Elizabeth II, Her Majesty, en este caso, usarías shall en lugar de will, para añadir formalidad.

We shall arrange a pheasant for Christmas lunch at Windsor Castle, Your Majesty. 👑

¿Entonces para que te enseñamos este uso de shall si lo más probable es que no te codees con la realeza? Pon las noticias de BBC News y apunta cuantas veces escuchas el verbo modal shall. ¡Los reporteros de la BBC lo usan a todas horas!

¡Es broma! Vamos a practicar un poco, ¿te parece?

Si aún no has dominado este tema, esta clase es gloria bendita: Aprende a usar las question tags en inglés.

What is International Women's Day?

International Women's Day takes place every year on 8 March. It is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women and to create positive change for women and girls. All around the world, people are demanding gender equality and protesting about situations where women do not have basic rights and freedoms. International Women's Day is a time to do this work together.

How did International Women's Day start?

International Women's Day started with a protest that took place in New York City in 1908. Fifteen thousand women went out onto the streets to demand equal rights and better working conditions. In particular, they wanted shorter working hours, better pay and the right to vote.

At the International Conference of Working Women in Denmark in 1910, a woman called Clara Zetkin proposed the idea of an international day for women. Everyone agreed it was a good idea to use the same day every year to take action for women's rights. The first International Women's Day happened the following year, in 1911.

Why do we need an International Women's Day?

People participate in International Women's Day in many different ways and for many different reasons. But a common goal is gender equality.

In today's world it may appear that women have all the same opportunities as men. But if you look at the statistics worldwide, talk to women and girls around you or simply live in the world as a woman, you see this is not true.

There are many examples of women and girls having a lower position in society than men and boys. They have fewer opportunities and they suffer specific injustices and problems because they are women. Here are some examples. Did you know that, around the world:

teenage girls aged 10 to 14 are twice as likely to do more than 21 hours a week of housework as boys of the same age

nearly a quarter of teenage girls aged 15 to 19 are not in school, compared to only 13 per cent of boys

less than half of the world's countries offer girls and boys equal access to education

many more girls than boys are married while they are still children

child marriage often means stopping school, getting pregnant early, isolation and an increased risk of violence

one in five teenage girls have experienced violence from their partner?

Many people believe situations of gender inequality like these can and should be changed.

What happens on International Women's Day?

On 8 March there are protests and other events to demand equal rights for women. You can find marches, talks, workshops, film and music events and more, near you or online. Many people wear purple, a colour worn by women who campaigned for women's right to vote. In some countries, children and men give presents, flowers or cards to their mothers, partners, sisters or other women they know.

The future

There is still a lot of work to be done for gender equality. Sometimes we lose important rights and go backwards with the progress we have made. But women's movements all over the world are still fighting for equality, and new generations are joining them. The people marching in the streets for equal rights are often young women and their friends. Teenagers are organising and campaigning, telling the world how we should think, behave and treat one another. When it comes to gender equality, what kind of world do you want to live in?
