The Verb To Be of Football es un manual diferente: su ob-jetivo coincide con el de todos los manuales de inglés, enseñar inglés para los niveles A1 y B1. Su autora, Anna Maria Speight, polifacética profesora irlandesa de largo recorrido, ha adoptado una aproximación distinta. A tra-vés del fútbol, un deporte que, como el inglés, se inven-tó en Inglaterra y que une a gentes de todos los países. Ambos tienen algo en común: son formas de expresarse.
A todo ello ayuda el realismo cómico de las ilustraciones de Miguel Cerdá que transmiten la historia en imágenes.
Concha Catalán, profesora de inglés, resume la excelen-cia de The Verb To Be of Football en tres puntos funda-mentales: amenidad, agilidad y facilidad para explicar las estructuras gramaticales contenidas en sus unidades.
Enjoy it... con salud y goles.

UNIT ONE14
Possessive adjectives and possessive pronounsThe possessive adjectives go before the noun.
E.g. This is my football. This is your favourite team.
It is important to remember that we use the possessive adjectives with the parts of the body, unlike the article, which is used in Spanish.
E.g. His leg is broken.
The possessive pronouns go after the noun.
E.g. Those cleats (football boots) are mine.
They can also be used without the noun.
E.g. They are mine.
They can be used after the preposition of.
E.g. That footballer is a friend of ours.
AdjectivesThe adjective can go in two positions: in front of the verb (the attributive case) a tall man or after the verb (the predicate case) the man is tall. They are always singular and have no gender.
The Anglo Saxon Genitive or Possessive “S”. This is used to indicate possession. When the noun is singular, the apostrophe is placed before the s – Pepe’s car. When the noun is plural, it is placed after the s – the cousins’ cars. When the possessive belongs to two people, the apostrophe is added to the second person mentioned.
E.g. Pepe and Paco’s favourite team.
GRAMÁTICA
Los adjetivos posesivos y los pronombres posesivos
Los adjetivos posesivos van delante del nombre.
Ej.: Éste es mi balón. Éste es tu equipo favorito.
Es importante recordar que los adjetivos posesivos se utilizan con partes del cuerpo, a diferencia del español, en el que se usan los artículos.
Ej.: Tiene la pierna rota.
Los pronombres posesivos se colocan detrás del sustantivo.
Ej.: Estas botas son mías.
Se pueden usar sin el sustantivo.
Ej.: Son mías/míos.
Se usa también con la preposición of.
Ej.: Ese futbolista es amigo nuestro.
LIFE-LONG COUSINS 15
Adjetivos
Los adjetivos pueden ir en dos posiciones: delante del nombre, a tall man (caso atributivo) o detrás del verbo, the man is tall. Su número es siempre el singular y no tienen género.
El genitivo sajón o posesivo “s”. Indica posesión. Cuando el nombre es singular, el apóstrofo se coloca delante de la ’s. Cuando es plural, se coloca después de la s’.
Cuando se menciona dos nombres, el segundo nombre lleva el apóstrofo.
Ej.: El equipo favorito de Pepe y Paco.
LIFE-LONG COUSINS
Pepe and Paco are two very good friends. They are also very close cousins. They are from Spain. They are from different parts of the country. Pepe is from Madrid, in the centre of Spain. It is a very nice city, but it is a big noisy city too. It is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It is also the capital city of Spain, a country famous for its food and of course its football.
Paco is not from Madrid. He is from Grado, a small, quiet village in Segovia. It is very cold in the winter but it is warm and sunny in the summer. His village is north east of Madrid. It is far from the capital, but near two very pretty villages, Riaza and Ayllón.
Pepe and Paco are different. Pepe is tall and thin, and Paco is small and not so thin. Pepe and Paco’s cars are different too. They are not the same.
Pepe’s car is new and very big. It is bright grey and very comfortable. It is also very fast. Pepe is very proud of his car.
UNIT ONE16
Paco’s car is not new and it is not very big. In fact, his is quite small and very, very old. It isn’t grey. His is dark red. It is uncomfortable and very slow. Paco is extremely proud of his car too. The car is his “Thunderdog”.
Pepe and Paco are similar in one way. They are both football fans. They are both very special football fans. But they are fans of different clubs. Pepe is a Retired Monsters’ fan and Paco is an Aged Monsters’ fan. What is more, the two clubs are rivals!
