PRESENT PROGRESSIVE AS FUTURE
Los tiempos progresivos ("progressive tenses" o "continuous tenses") expresan
el "progreso" o desarrollo de una accin en un momento dado.

El tiempo presente progresivo ("present progressive") expresa una accin que
se est desarrollando en el momento presente, generalmente, una accin

En ingls, al igual que en espaol, el tiempo presente progresivo est formado

"present participle" (form + ing) del verbo principal.
NOTA: En esta ocasin lo nico que vamos a hacer es usar una

Las oraciones condicionales tienen dos partes:
1.- la oracin subordinada con IF que expresa una condicin.
2.- La oracin principal WILL que expresa el resultado (es decir si se cumple o
no la condicin)
Se habla de futuro, se piensa en una condicin particular en futuro y el
resultado de esta condicin. Existe una probabilidad real de que sta
condicin suceda.
Ejemplo: Estoy en mi casa en la maana, planeo jugar tenis en la tarde,
pero el cielo est nublado, qu pasara si llueve? Juego o no?
IF condition result

present simple WILL + base verb
If it rains, I will stay at home.

Si pueden notar, estoy hablando de una condicin a futuro, pero el cielo est
nublado, y pienso que tal vez llueva. Uso el presente simple para hablar de
esta posible condicin (IF). Uso el futuro (will) para hablar sobre el posible
resultado.

INDIRECT QUESTIONS

Las preguntas indirectas tienen el mismo propsito que las preguntas
directas, simplemente estas preguntas indirectas en el idioma ingles se
las considera ms formales (polite).
Qu se considera una pregunta indirecta?
Una pregunta indirecta se considera aquellas frases especiales que se usan
como las siguientes:
Do you know?
Can you tell me?
Have you any idea...?
I am not sure...
I would like to know...
I wonder...
Despues de usar estas preguntas o frases indirectas se procede a realizar la
pregunta propiamente dicha.
Ejemplo / Example:
Pregunta indirecta + pregunta directa

Do you know + where my sister is?
FOLLETO GRAMATICAL TERCER NIVEL DISTANCIA
UNIDADES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Ms. MONICA DAVILA

29

Entonces la pregunta de una manera ms formal queda de la siguiente
manera:
Do you know where my sister is?
Se preguntarn a ustedes mismo, porque la pregunta directa tiene is al final y
no despues de la palabra where como nos ensea la regla gramatical. (Where
is my sister?)
La respuesta es porque ya tenemos una frase indirecta que hace el papel de
pregunta al inicio y porque la pregunta directa en este caso se convierte en
una oracin afirmativa.
More examples:

travel to Loja?
Did your parents go to Baos? I am not sure whether your parents
went to Baos?
What did your sister do after lunch? I would like to know what your sister
did after lunch?

Cada vez que una pregunta empieza con un wh-word question se mantiene el
mismo.
1. Do you know where Juan lives?
2. I would like to know what your sister did after lunch.
Cada vez que una pregunta empieza con auxiliares directamente ( is, are, am,
do, does, did, will) se procede a utilizar la palabra if or whether (significan lo
mismo= si) despues de la pregunta indirecta.
