PREVIEW

El verbo 'to be' es uno de los verbos más importantes del inglés, ya que se utiliza en muchas ocasiones. Los siguientes ejemplos serán utilizados en la explicación. Recuerda que siempre veremos la tercera persona del singular puesto que en presente cambia. ¿PARA QUÉ SIRVE? El verbo ‘to be’se traduce como ‘ser’ o ‘estar’. Dependiendo del sentido de la frase sabremos qué significado tiene

They are friends. He is angry. Ellos son amigos. Él está disgustado.

¿CÓMO SE FORMA?

El verbo 'to be' tiene tres formas diferentes. Podemos encontrar la forma 'am' para primera persona (I), la forma 'is' para tercera persona (he, she, it), y por último, la forma 'are' que se utiliza con el resto de personas (you, we, they).

AFIRMATIVA: Para formar la afirmativa ponemos la forma correspondiente del verbo 'to be' en presente. SUJETO +TO BE + RESTO DE FRASE

I am in the office. It is dangerous She is beautiful They are big men. Yo estoy en la oficina Esto es peligroso Ella es hermosa Ellos son hombres grandes * Recuerda que este verbo puede contraerse y encontrar las siguientes formas (I.e. She's beautiful), (I.e. I'm in the office), (I.e. They're friends)

NEGATIVA: Para formar la negativa tenemos que negar el verbo 'to be' añadiendo la partícula 'not' después del verbo.

SUJETO +TO BE + NOT + RESTO DE FRASE

I am not in the office. It is not dangerous She is not beautiful They are not big men. Yo no estoy en la oficina Esto no es peligroso Ella no es hermosa Ellos no son hombres grandes

* Recuerda que este verbo puede contraerse y encontrar las siguientes formas (I.e. She isn't beautiful), (I.e. I'm not in the office), (I.e. They aren't big men)

INTERROGATIVA: Para formar la interrogativa tenemos que invertir el verbo 'to be' y el sujeto. TO BE + SUJETO + RESTO DE FRASE?

Am I in the office? Is it dangerous? Is she beautiful? Are they big men? ¿Estoy en la oficina? ¿Es esto peligroso? ¿Es ella hermosa? ¿Son ellos hombres grandes?

RESPUESTAS CORTAS: Para dar respuestas cortas debemos utilizar la forma correspondiente del verbo 'to be'. Recuerda que las respuestas cortas son muy comunes porque cuando hablamos evitamos repetir lo que ya se ha dicho.

Are they friends? Is she upset? Yes, they are. No, they are not. Yes, she is. No, she is not. Son ellos amigos? Está ella disgustada? Si, ellos lo son. No, ellos no lo son. Sí, ella lo está. No, ella no lo está.

* Debes tener en cuenta que utilizamos la forma completa en las respuestas cortas afirmativas, mientras que utilizamos la forma contraída en las respuestas cortas negativas. ¿Qué debo recordar? Lo importante que debemos tener en cuenta es lo siguiente:

Recuerda los pronombres personales (I, you, he, she, it, we, they), ya que son necesarios para conocer la forma que corresponde en cada caso.

El verbo 'to be' tiene tres formas diferentes (am, is, are). Este verbo tiene formas contraídas para afirmativa y negativa que debemos recordar. Las preguntas se forman haciendo una inversión del verbo y el sujeto (aspecto importante porque siempre sucede en

inglés).
