MEET THE ANCESTORS

When you look at the mirror, you can see your father‘s face and smile. Moreover, if you have your mother´s eyes, it is because the DNA that contains genes: body´s unique set of instructions. Genes are passed down through generations. A scientific test, known as DNA test, can show you the part of the world your ancestors were from. You inherit your look and much more, such as, favourite foods, traditions and histories that make your family special and a mystery. Nevertheless, there is a way to learn about it. Its name is GENELOGY, the study of the people you are related to. It stars with the relatives you know and this helps you organise some information you get. For example, draw your family tree, dates or places. Some people begin their research at the library, in old newspaper, public records, where they can check out good information.

PRACTICE USEFUL EXPRESSIONS.

Countable Nouns

Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns: dog, cat, animal, man, person, bottle, box, liter, coin, note, dollar, cup, plate, fork, table, chair, suitcase, bag.

Countable nouns can be singular or plural: My dog is playing, my dogs are hungry.

We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns: a dog is an animal.

When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it: want an orange. (Not I want orange.) Where is my bottle? (Not Where is bottle?)

When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone: I like oranges, Bottles can break.

We can use some and any with countable nouns: I've got some dollars, Have you got any pens?

We can use a few and many with countable nouns: I've got a few dollars, I haven't got many pens.

"People" is countable. "People" is the plural of "person". We can count people: There is one person here, there are three people here.

Uncountable Nouns

Uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc. that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "liters of milk", but we cannot count "milk".

Here are some more uncountable nouns: music, art, love, happiness, advice, information, news furniture, luggage, rice, sugar, butter, water, electricity, gas, power, money, currency

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:

This news is very important. Your luggage looks heavy.

We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. We cannot say "information" or "music". But we can say a something of: a piece of news, a bottle of water, a grain of rice

We can use some and any with uncountable nouns: I’ve got some money. Have you got any rice?

We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns: I’ve got a little money. I haven't got much rice.

Here are some more examples of countable and uncountable nouns:

Dollar-- money –song-- luggage --table –electricity—report—wine—information-- work –scenery—travel-- advice --music furniture-- job –suitcase—tip-- journey --battery --bottle –view.

2. Choose a, an, some or any

g) We don't have bread. h) My brother found money. i) My sister found pen.

j) Do you have eggs? k) There are students in the classroom. l) Is there pencil on the desk?

b) How much - we use with uncountable nouns How many - we use with countable nouns.

3. Choose how much or how many

b) books are there in your bag?

c) films did Tom see last week?

d) money do you spend every week?

e) friends does Linda have?

II.

1. FOR SINGULAR COUNTABLE NOUNS USE A / AN ( A PEN, AN APPLE)

2. FOR PLURAL COUNTABLE NOUNS IN AFFIRMTIVE SENTENCES USE SOME ( There are some balls )

3. FOR UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS IN AFFIRMTIVE SENTENCES USE SOME ( THER IS SOME WATER )

4. FOR COUNTABLE AND UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS, USE ANY IN NEGATIVE SENTENCES AND IN MOST QUESTIONS. ( I DO NOT HAVE ANY CHAIRS ) ( THERE IS NOT ANY MILK ) (DO YOU HAVE ANY SISTERS?)

g) Do you have _____eggs?

h) There is ___ orange on the table.

i) My mother has ________ money.

j) There are _______ students in the classroom.

k) I bought ______ milk.

l) Is there ______ pencil on the table?

III. HOW MANY------- HOW MUCH

In the affirmative forms:

In spoken English and informal writing we tend to use:

a lot, a lot of, lots of with countable and uncountable nouns.
Example:
"How many students are there in the classroom?"
"There are a lot."
"How many students are there in the classroom?"
"There are a lot of / lots of students"..

In formal written English:

It is also possible (and preferable) to use many and much rather than a lot of, lots of and a lot in formal written English.
Example:
There are many students.
Much time was spent on studying.

So if you're speaking or writing to friends (informal), use a lot, a lot of, lots of. But if you want to be more formal, perhaps it is preferable to use much and many.

Remember:

In affirmative sentences with so, as or too, we also use much / many.

Examples:
"Carla has so many friends."
"She has as many friends as Sue."
"Kevin has too much money."

We use HOW MANY with countable nouns. We use HOW MUCH with uncountable nouns.

a) _______________ Cheese do you buy?

b) _______________ Books are there in your bag?

c) _______________ Films did you see last week?

d) _______________ Money do you spend every week?

e) _______________ Friends does Linda have?

f) _______________ Sugar do we need?

g) _______________ Tomatoes are there in the fridge?

h) _______________ Meat do you buy?

i) _______________ Milk did you drink yesterday?

WORKSHOP

USED, USED TO, BE USED TO, GET USED TO

USED : Es el pasado del verbo "use" (usar) y se conjuga en pasado como "USED" y no tiene nada que ver con las otras tres expresiones. Este verbo lo podemos encontrar en los diferentes tiempos verbales (presente simple, pasado, etc.) sin ninguna otra estructura detrás que lo acompañe.

SHE USED THE CAR TO GO TO THE SCHOOL-----ELLA USÓ EL COCHE PARA IR A LA ESCUELA.

USED TO: Es otro verbo distinto que significa " solía". Siempre encontramos otro verbo detrás que debe ir en forma básica o infinitiva. Resulta que en inglés hay tres formas que se traducen en castellano como infinitivo. Por Ejemplo tenemos: "eat", “to eat", "eating”: I used to eat bananas when I was four, but now I can't stand them. (Solía comer plátanos cuando tenía 4 años pero ahora no las soporto)---- I used to walk to school. (Caminaba a la escuela)

BE USED TO---> Se usa con otro verbo detrás pero esta vez el verbo debe ir con "Ing.".

BE USED TO + verb-ing. Significa que estoy acostumbrado a hacer algo.

I' m used to eating out (Estoy acostumbrado a comer fuera de casa, por ejemplo en el trabajo o en restaurantes, etc.)--- I am used to exercising every day(Estoy acostumbrado a hacer ejercicio todos los días)

GET USED TO +VERB-ING ----> Se parece al anterior en la estructura pero su significado es ligeramente distinto. Significa que estás acostumbrándote, que estas en ello y que seguramente acabarás por acostumbrarte.

I' m getting used to eating the food in England (Me estoy acostumbranto a comer la comida de Inglaterra--- I am getting used to waking up early. (Me estoy acostumbrando a levantarme temprano)

Cómo podéis ver tanto "be" de la expresión "be used to" y "get" de la expresión "get used to" pueden también estar conjugados en presente en pasado en presente continuo, etc... , por ejemplo:

I get used to driving on the left. --- Me acostumbro a conducir por la izquierda.

I got used to driving on the left. ---Me acostumbré a conducir por la izquierda.

I' m getting used to driving on the left---Me estoy acostumbrando a conducir por la izquierda.

Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es que además podemos usar un nombre detrás de estas expresiones en vez de una acción. Por ejemplo: I' m getting used to eating the food in England/I' m getting used to the food in England.

Presente Perfecto (Present Perfect Tense)

El Presente Perfecto en el idioma inglés es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para referirnos a acciones que suceden en un pasado reciente y que guardan alguna relación con el presente. Su equivalente en el idioma español es el Pretérito Perfecto:

I have sent the letter.
Yo he enviado la carta.
(Indica que la acción acaba de suceder)

Para poder construir la forma afirmativa del Presente Perfecto debemos utilizar como auxiliar el verbo TO HAVE en Presente Simple y acompañado por el verbo principal en su Pasado Participio (ya sean verbos regulares o verbos irregulares):

He has broken the window. Él ha roto la ventana.

I have bought a new dress. Yo he comprado un nuevo vestido.

You have studied the lesson. Tú has estudiado la lección.

She has lost the keys. Ella ha perdido las llaves.

Recuerden que a las 3º personas del singular deben colocar la “S” en elauxiliar ya que se trata del Presente Simple.
En cambio, para formar una interrogación deberemos colocar elauxiliar al comienzo de la oración, luego el sujeto y posteriormente el verbo principal también en Pasado Participio:

Have I bought a new dress?

He comprado un nuevo vestido?

Have you studied the lesson?

Has estudiado la lección?

Has he broken the window?

Ha roto él la ventana?

Has she lost the keys?

Ha perdido ella las llaves?

Por su parte, la forma negativa se forma poniendo la negación NOT entre el auxiliar y el verbo principal, por ejemplo:

I have not bought a new dress.

Yo no he comprado un nuevo vestido.

You have not studied the lesson.

Tú no has estudiado la lección.

He has not broken the window.

Él no ha roto la ventana.

She has not lost the keys.

Ella no ha perdido la llave.

Cabe destacar que cuando hablamos en Presente Perfecto no debemos mencionar el momento en que se ha producido la acción, ya que de hacerlo deberíamos utilizar el pasado simple.
También puede utilizarse la forma contraída de la negación colocando HAVEN’T o HASN’T según corresponda.

I have sold my car.
Yo he vendido mi auto. (Presente Perfecto)

I sold my car this morning.
Yo vendí mi auto esta mañana. (Pasado Simple)

RELATIVE CLAUSES

The 'relative clauses' are used to define about that person or thing we are talking about. With the 'relative clauses' it is possible to say more about the person or things. The relative clauses are introduced by: who, which, that, whose, when, where. Look at the examples:

The woman has gone to the beach. /The woman who lives in the blue house has gone to the beach.

The book is very expensive. /The book that is on the table is very expensive/ the book which is on the table is very expensive

The woman who lives in that house is Spanish/The woman that lives in that house is Spanish.

This is the house that I used to live in.

Who and that are used for people. On the other hand, that or which are used for things in a relative clause, although the use of that is more common.

WHOSE: indicates possession: She complained to the man whose dog bit her.

WHEN: refers to a time. That word can be used or omitted: Do you remember the day (when) we met? / Do you remember the day we met?

WHERE: indicates place: We visited the house where our father was born.

NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE

This sentence contains a relative clause called a NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE. These types of relative clauses contain extra information. You can say and understand the phrase perfectly without it. It has commas to separate the clause from the rest of the sentence. With Non-defining Relative we can‘t use that, but who and which for people and things respectively.

My neighbor, who is French, is very rich.

My teacher, who has been working at the same school for 5 years, is getting married on Saturday.

That document, which was found in his car, didn´t prove his identity.
