Más dudas ;)
En la frase 19. ¿(Generally) por qué aparece entre parentesis en la correción?
25 y 37 Si se supone que es una acción que está pasando en el momento, ¿por qué no se utiliza present continuous? ¿o esque se toma como un habito?
41. ¿Por qué en la correción no aparece el verbo "want" y se modifica el "to go" que estaba como fijo en la frase?
Seguro que las respuestas son obvias pero ahora mismo no las veo...
Hola Pilar,
El "Generally" que aparece en la frase 19 es para darle un sentido general al ejemplo. "me encanta la comida mejicana (de forma general)". Es para que no haya ambigüedad en la frase.
En el ejemplo 25 "Do you like chocolate?" no es una acción que ocurra en el momento (si acaso el ejemplo sería "Do you like this chocolate?", aunque en cualquier caso "like" es un verbo estativo, no suele aparecer en present continuous. (Échale un vistazo a la página 9 del libro los verbos estativos).
En el ejemplo 37 "Excuse me, do you speak English?", hablar un idioma es una acción permanente. Un ejemplo de "speak" con present continuous sería "I,m speaking English in this moment"
En el ejemplo 41 no he puesto el verbo "want" en la corrección por error. Lo edito para corregirlo.
Espero que te hayan servido las explicaciones. Si tienes cualquier otra pregunta, no dudes en hacerla. Un saludo.
Hola buenas tardes,
Tengo una pregunta,
En el número 26 ¿por qué es “DO” y no “DOES” ?
Gracias.
Hola Lina,
en la frase 26 "What time do the banks open?" aparece como auxiliar "do" en vez de "does" porque el sujeto de la frase "the banks" es tercera persona plural, no singular. Un ejemplo en tercera persona singular sería "What time does the bakery open?". Un saludo
Para Pili,
no puedo editar la errata en la frase 41 del ejercicio de presentes que aparece en comentarios. La frase corregida correcta sería:
41. I don´t want to go out. It is raining.
Gracias por el aviso Pili. Saludos
