Mid-Term review - Pt 1

Mid-Term review - Pt 1

Let's review what we have learned on the first half of this school year.

Comparatives and Superlatives

Let's remember some of the key concepts

Comparatives

• Se utilizan para comparar una determinada característica o cualidad entre dos cosas, animales o personas.

• En los adjetivos de una sílaba se añade la terminación final -er.

• Cuando los adjetivos tienen más de dos sílabas se añade la partícula more.

Superlatives

• Se usan para comparar un elemento con respecto a otros de su mismo grupo o condición.

• En los adjetivos de una sílaba se añade el artículo the delante del adjetivo y la terminación -est detrás.

• En los adjetivos de más de dos sílabas se añade the most antes del adjetivo, sin cambiarlo.

Simple present tense Vs. Present continuous

The Simple present is used:

• Acciones habituales o cotidianas. usualmente con frequency adverbs como: always, usually, sometimes, never...

• Afirmaciones o hechos universales: The sun rises every day; Lions live in Africa.

• Al verbo de la tercera persona del singular (he/she/it) se le añade una -s o -es dependiendo de su terminación

More examples:

• She runs every day.

• I don't work in a factory.

• Does she work in a store? No, she doesn't.

• He fishes every Sunday.

The Present continuous is used:

• Hablar sobre una acción que está sucediendo en el preciso instante en el que se habla.

• Cuando se habla de situaciones temporales.

• Debemos añadir la terminación -ing al verbo.

•
