TPICO GENERATIVO: Hello. Good bye.
MARCO CONCEPTUAL:
GREETINGS AND FAREWELLS
Saludos y Despedidas

Una de las primeras cosas que debes aprender de un idioma es la forma en que saludas y
te presentas con otra persona, as como tambin las despedidas. A continuacin
encontramos una breve explicacin acerca del uso de los saludos y despedidas ms
comunes en ingls.

1. Para saludar a una persona, utilizamos las siguientes expresiones:

Hello (formal) o Hi (informal), Hola

How are you, Cmo ests? es la forma ms popular de saludar. La respuesta a este
interrogante depende del estado de nimo de la persona, de modo que se podra decir:

Good - fine - well bien

Great - Very good very well muy bien
Pretty good quite well Bastante bien
Terrific excelente o de maravilla
Okay - So so ms o menos
Not well Not good No tan bien
Bad Mal
Terrible - Really bad terrible

Seguido a estas respuestas generalmente va el agradecimiento Thank you / Thanks

(Gracias) y What about you? (Y t?) como una respuesta muy diplomtica y cordial.

What about you? es una expresin que se utiliza para devolver la pregunta que nos han
hecho, aunque tambin se podra decir simplemente And you? (Y t?), pero es menos
comn. Ejemplo:

A: How are you?

B: I'm fine, thank you. What about you?
A: Very well, thanks.

La expresin How are you tambin puede reemplazarse por:

How do you do?" (Cmo est usted?, Cmo le va?) Es una manera muy formal de
saludar. Se usa cuando saludamos a alguien formalmente por primera vez. How do you
do? no es realmente una pregunta por lo que se responde usando la misma expresin.
Ejemplo: A: How do you do?
B: How do you do?
"How are you doing?" (Cmo ests?) Es ms personal y amigable, pero sigue siendo
cordial. Las respuestas a este interrogante son similares a las de la pregunta How are
you?. Ejemplo:
A: How are you doing?
B: I'm doing well, thank you. What about you?
A: Not good, thanks.

Tambin se emplean expresiones como:

Hows everything cmo va todo?
Hows it going o Whats up (considerados como saludos informales)
2. Para saludar a una persona dependiendo de la hora, decimos:
Good morning : Buenos das
Good afternoon : Buenas tardes
Good evening : Buenas noches (Al llegar)
Good night : Tambin significa Buenas noches pero se utiliza cuando nos vamos a
dormir o a despedir de una persona en la noche.

3. Para despedirnos de alguien utilizamos:

Good bye - bye : Adios So long : Hasta luego
See you later : Nos vemos luego Take care : Cudate!
See you soon : Nos vemos pronto Have a nice day : Que tengas
un buen da
See you tomorrow : Nos vemos maana Have a great time : Que
te vaya bien
See you then : Hasta entonces

La mayora de estas expresiones constituyen frases idiomticas o modismos; estos son

formas del idioma que no obedecen algunas reglas gramaticales y muchas de ellas no
tienen traduccin literal.

4). Si no conocemos una persona utilizamos estas expresiones para presentarnos:

What's your name? : Cul es tu nombre? o cmo te llamas?

My name is Terry : Mi nombre es Terry o me llamo Terry
This is my teacher, Sam : Este es mi profesor, Sam
Nice to meet you
Pleased to meet you : Un placer conocerte (conocerlo)
Nice to meet you too : Igualmente

Adems de decir Nice to meet you, tambin se pueden utilizar las siguientes expresiones:
Glad to meet you Good to meet you Pleasure to meet you Nice
meeting you

Mr se usa para hombres (casados o solteros) y Mrs para mujeres casadas. Miss se usa
para mujeres solteras, con el apellido o con el nombre y el apellido (Miss Baden o Miss
Lucy Baden) pero nunca se usa con el nombre propio nicamente.

TALLER No. 06
TPICO GENERATIVO: That is my English book
MARCO CONCEPTUAL:
DEMOSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES

Son aquellos que se utilizan para determinar la ubicacin de las cosas y son los
siguientes:

SINGULAR PLURAL
THIS (Este /esta) THESE (Estos / estas)
This flower is beautiful. (esta flor es These pencils are in the box. (Estos lpices
Hermosa) estn en la caja)
THAT (Eso /esa /aquel /aquella) THOSE (Esos / esas /aquellos /aquellas)
That is my dog.(ese es mi perro) Those stars are in the sky. (Esas estrellas estn
en el cielo)

A diferencia del idioma espaol, en el que se determina la proximidad con ESTO, ESO y
AQUELLO, en el idioma ingls slo se utilizan dos grados de proximidad: THIS, para
sealar lo que se encuentra ms cerca del sujeto, y THAT para lo que est ms alejado.

Estos adjetivos concuerdan en nmero, ya sea en singular o en plural, con el sustantivo al

que acompaan, mientras que en gnero no existen diferencias entre masculino y
femenino:

This flower is beautiful. Esta flor es hermosa.

This car is dirty. Este automvil est sucio.

That house is expensive. Aquella casa es costosa.

That dog is bad. Aquel perro es malo.

These apples are cheap. Estas manzanas son baratas.

These pencils are in the box. Estos lpices estn en la caja.

Those stars are in the sky. Aquellas estrellas estn en el cielo.

Those boys are my friends. Aquellos nios son mis amigos.

El adjetivo demostrativo THIS tambin puede utilizarse para presentar a alguien:

John, this is Mike. (John, este es Mike).

Tambin se utiliza THIS para comenzar un relato de manera coloquial:

This is the story (Esta es la historia)

THAT sirve para indicar algo que ha ocurrido o algo que alguien ha dicho.
That was an incredible story. (Ha sido una historia increble).
