Compendio gramatical del inglés.

1. GRAMMAR:

Definition: The whole system and structure of a language or of languages in general, usually taken as consisting of syntax and morphology.

Or : A set of prescriptive notions about correct use of a language.

( This is the description I founded in an internet page, and sounds pretty concise, but, to me, it´s more just a tool: It´s the essence of the language, which makes us agood speakers and makes easier communication.

2. ALPHABET.

Definition: A set of letters or symbols in a fixed order used to represent the basic set of speech sounds of a language.

( Of course, the sounds and names are different in English than Spanish and there is some letters which in Spanish exist and in English don´t.

A= ei F= ef K=kei P= pi U= iu Z= setaB= bi G= yi L= el Q= kiu V= vi

C= si H= ech M= em R= ar W= dobliu

D= di I= ia N= en S= es X= ecs

E= i J= yai O= ou T= ti Y= guai

EXAMPLES:

WORD SPELLING

Rosario R (ar), o (ou), s (es), a (ei), r (ar), i (ai), o (ou).

Here h (ech), e(i), r (ar), e (i).

Ghost g (yi), h(ech), o (ou),s (es), t (ti).View v (vi), I (ai), e (i ), w (dobliu).

Speak s (es), p (pi), e (i), a (ei), k (kei).

3. VERB TO BE.

( I would say, this is the most important verb in the whole English Language. Everything begins with:

a) PERSONAL PRONOUNS.

A word used instead of a noun to indicate someone or something already mentioned or known. There are eight personalpronouns. Five for singular and three for plural.

b)PERSONAL PRONOUN WITH VERB TO BE.

PRONOUN VERB TO BE CONTRATIONS

I am I´m

You are You´re

He is He´s

She is She´s THIRD PERSON OF SINGULAR

It is It´s

We are We´re

You are You´re PLURAL

They are They´re

c) NEGATIVES.For negative form, just add “NOT” to verb TO BE.

PRONOUN VERB TO BE + NOT CONTRATIONS

I am not I´m

You are not You´re ó you aren´t

He is not He´s ó he isn´t

She is not She´s ó she isn´t

It is not It´s ó it isn´t

We are not We´re ó we aren´t

You are not You´re ó you aren´tThey are not They´re ó they aren´t

4. ARTICLES.

We know this kinds or types the article in the English language: Indefinite and definite.

(Apparently are confusing, and you have to remember many different rules and exceptions, but I have to say it´s only matter of using it, make a mistake, be corrected and…it´s done! You´ve learned it.

a) INDEFINITEARTICLES A, AN .

A and AN are called the indefinite articles and they are used to indicate something unspecific.
WHEN DO WE USE “A” OR “AN”
The sound of the first letter of the word determines which to use.
• If the word starts with a VOWEL sound, you must use “an” . Examples:

An umbrella an honest man an aunt

an organ an ice

If itstarts with a CONSONANT sound, you must use “a”.

A musician a choir a boring book a theater

b) DEFINITE ARTICLE “THE”

THE is called definite article, because it is used to mention a specific person, thing, place.

It is used when:

a) When we want define something. Examples:

The star inthe sky is so shine.

The use of the private automobile is opposed to the use of public transport

b) Noun or name is used as an adjective.

Examples:
