- Tiempo verbal para expresar hábitos y rutinas, hechos generales, acciones repetidas o
situaciones, emociones y deseos permanentes:
I smoke (hábito)
I work in London (permanencia)
London is a large city (hecho general)
- La S en la 3ª persona singular -
El presente continuo es un tiempo verbal que indica una acción que está ocurriendo en el
momento en que se habla. Es bastante parecido a, por ejemplo, ‘comiendo’, ‘caminando’,
‘diciendo’, etc. En el inglés coloquial significa también algo que va a ocurrir muy pronto.
Veamos ahora unos ejemplos:
I am studying for my exam – Estoy estudiando para mi examen
I am cleaning the house – Estoy limpiando la casa
Robert is driving to the supermarket – Robert está manejando al supermercado
The mechanic is fixing our car – El mecánico está arreglando nuestro carro
HOW MANY HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE? ¿CUÁNTA GENTE HABÍA?
HOW LONG HOW LONG DOES THE FILM LAST? ¿CUÁNTO DURA LA
PELÍCULA?
HOW OFTEN HOW OFTEN DO YOU PLAY TENNIS? ¿CÚANTAS VECES JUEGAS AL
TENIS?

El pasado simple El "simple past" se utiliza para hablar de una acción que concluyó en un
tiempo anterior al actual. La duración no es relevante. Equivale a nuestro pretérito
imperfecto y a nuestro pretérito perfecto simple. Se forma:
- Afirmativo: Sujeto + verbo + ed: I played
- Interrogativo: Did + sujeto + verbo infinitivo: Did I play?
- Negativo: Sujeto + did + not + verbo en infinitivo: I did not play
Ejemplo simple past del verbo jugar: Pasado simple verbo to be (ser o estar)
RECUERDA:
* En las frases negativas e interrogativas, siempre se
debe utilizar el infinitivo del verbo sin to.

USED TO
El verbo “use” significa “usar” o “utilizar”. Sin embargo, cuando utilizamos este verbo en el
pasado simple, más la preposición “to”, como verbo modal, el significado cambia.
Además, se puede utilizar "used to*" como adjetivo*. A continuación tienes una explicación
de los diferentes usos.
U SED TO (S OLER )
Usamos el verbo modal “used to” para indicar algo que ocurría o sucedía en el pasado de
manera habitual. También, se utiliza para algo que antes era verdad pero ya no lo es. Como
con los otros verbos modales, “used to” está seguido por la forma base del verbo (el infinitivo
sin “to”).
STRUCTURE (ESTRUCTURA)
1. Affirmative Sentences (Frases afirmativas)
We used to go to the beach every summer when I was young. (Cuando era joven solíamos ir
a la playa cada verano.)
He used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, but he quit last year. (Solía fumar un paquete
de cigarrillos al día, pero lo dejó el año pasado.)
I used to like mushrooms, but not anymore. (Antes me gustaban las setas, pero ya no.)
There used to be a great restaurant here, but it closed a few years ago. (Había un buen
restaurante aquí, pero cerró hace unos años.)
2. Negative Sentences (Frases negativas)
I didn’t use to like mushrooms, but now I do. (Antes no me gustaban las setas, pero ahora
sí.)
Food didn’t use to be so expensive. (La comida no solía ser tan cara.)
We didn’t use to go away on holiday very often when I was young. (No solíamos ir de
vacaciones a menudo cuando era joven.)
3. Interrogative Sentences (Frases interrogativas)
When I was young, we would go to the beach every summer. (Cuando era joven solíamos ir a
la playa cada verano.)
At the university, they would play football every weekend. (En la universidad, ellos solían
jugar a fútbol cada fin de semana.)
He would smoke a lot.
When I was young we wouldn’t go to the beach every summer.
Nota: También se puede utilizar el verbo modal “would” para eventos o acciones repetidas en
el pasado. Pero ten en cuenta que sólo se puede usar con acciones, no con estados o hábitos.
Tampoco se puede utilizar “would” en el negativo. Para información de los otros usos de
“would” ver las lecciones de las frases condicionales} y los verbos modales.
Ejemplos:
When I was young, we would go to the beach every summer. (Cuando era joven solíamos ir a
la playa cada verano.)
At the university, they would play football every weekend. (En la universidad, ellos solían
jugar a fútbol cada fin de semana.)
He would smoke a lot.
When I was young we wouldn’t go to the beach every summer.
Cuando se utiliza “used to” como adjetivo significa “estar acostumbrado a”. Se usa para
cosas que son familiares, normales o comunes y se puede usar en cualquier tiempo verbal.
Cuando “to be used to” está seguido por un verbo, el verbo tiene que estar en gerundio
(“-ing”).
Ejemplos:
She’s used to living alone. (Ella está acostumbrada a vivir sola.)
We weren’t used to traveling a lot. (No estábamos acostumbrados a viajar mucho.)
I’m not used to this cold weather. (No estoy acostumbrado a este frío.)
Nota: Cuando utilizamos el verbo “get” en vez de “be” indica el proceso de familiarizarse con
algo. Ver la lección del verbo to get para más información sobre este verbo.
Ejemplos:
They divorced over 2 years ago. She has gotten used to living alone. (Se divorciaron hace
más de 2 años. Ella se ha acostumbrado a vivir sola.)
With this new job I am getting used to traveling a lot. (Con este nuevo trabajo me estoy
acostumbrando a viajar mucho.)
You need to get used to this cold weather if you are going to live here. (Necesitas
acostumbrarte a este frío si vas a vivir aquí.)

UNIT 2
El pasado continuo se usa para una acción en desarrollo en el pasado cuando otra acción la
interrumpe. La acción que interrumpe está en el pasado simple. “When” y “while” señalan el uso
del pasado simple y continuo. En general, usamos el pasado simple directamente después de
“when” y el pasado continuo después de “while”.
Ejemplos:
Jose called while I was watching the news. (Jose llamó mientras estaba mirando las noticias.)
He was walking to work when he fell. (Estaba caminando hacia su trabajo cuando se
cayó.)
Was it raining when you left? (¿Estaba lloviendo cuando te fuiste?)
El Past Co Se usa el pasado continuo para hablar sobre acciones en un tiempo específico en el
pasado.
Ejemplos:
Paula wasn’t living in Spain in 2005. (Paula no estaba viviendo en España en el 2005.)
We were still working at 10 o’clock last night. (Todavía estábamos trabajando a las 10
anoche.
Para formar el pasado continuo se utiliza el verbo auxiliar “to be” y el verbo+ing. El verbo
auxiliar “to be” está en el pasado simple, pero ten en cuenta que “to be” es un verbo irregular.

El uso del condicional significa que una acción depende de otra. Los condicionales se utilizan para hablar sobre
situaciones reales o irreales. En general, las frases condicionales llevan la palabra "if" (si).
Hay cuatro tipos de frases condicionales y el uso de uno sobre otro refleja la probabilidad de la acción.
Este tipo del condicional se utiliza para el futuro y en los casos en que es muy probable que la condición pasará.
