Love & Time


Once upon a time, in an island there lived all the feelings and emotions : Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to them that the island would sink! So all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "Sorry Love, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat and so there is no place here for you."

Love next asked Vanity who was also sailing by. Vanity was also ready with the same answer.
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, take me along with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!", sadness said in a sullen voice.

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so preoccupied with her happiness that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. An overjoyed Love jumped up into the boat and in the process forgot to ask where they were going. When they arrived at a dry land, the elder went her own way.

Realizing how much was owed to the elder, Love asked Knowledge another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" thought Love. Then, as if reading the face of Love, Knowledge smiled and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

Así que aquí les dejo algo para que estudien.


Homework

1.- READING. Mira el siguiente video. Recuerda investigar las palabras que desconozcas.




2.- INFORMATION. Lee la siguiente información de los temas que se vieron la clase pasada.


El Gerundio en inglés
El gerundio se forma en inglés añadiendo la desinencia 'ing' (sin 'to') al infinitivo del verbo.

To play / jugar            playing / jugando

CONSIDERACIONES
- Cuando el infinitivo termina en consonante precedida de una sola vocal pronunciada más fuerte, la consontante última se duplica:

To sit  sitting            (sentarse)

- Cuando el infinitivo termina en '-e' muda, ésta desaparece.

To write  writing            (escribir)

- Cuando el infinitivo termina en 'ie' cambia a 'y' + 'ing'

To lie  lying            (mentir)


Gramática Inglés gerundios

USO: Cuando una frase contiene un verbo que tiene una función que normalmente ocupa un sustanivo (ej. como el SUJETO u objeto), ese verbo por lo general es un GERUNDIO. Un GERUNDIO también puede aparecer despues de BE.
EJEMPLOS:
'Ana loves eating cake.'
'Drinking is bad for you but it is fun.'

Gramática Inglés gerundios - AFTER VERBS

USO: Los gerundios se utilizan como el objeto de la mayoría de los verbos transitivos, en lugar de un sustantivo o pronombre. En algunos casos un verbo objeto toma la forma de infinitivo, pero normalmente es un GERUNDIO. Un GERUNDIO también puede seguir a BE.
FORMA: [SUJETO + VERBO + GERUNDIO]
EJEMPLOS:
'He admitted stealing the money, but denied killing the bank owner.'
'She enjoys watching american shows.'

AS SUBJECTS

USO: Un GERUNDIO puede actuar como el SUJETO de cualquier VERBO, en lugar de un sustantivo o pronombre. Con frecuencia usamos el GERUNDIO de esta forma para crear generalizaciones.
El GERUNDIO puede ir solo, seguido de un complemento (ej. un objeto o un adverbio) o una clausula adverbial.
FORMA: [GERUNDIO + (Complemento/clausula adverbial) + VERBO ...]
EJEMPLOS:
'Drinking is dangerous.'
'Drinking alcohol is very dangerous.' (with compliment)
'Drinking when you are driving with people is inconsiderate.' (with adverbial clause)
Completa las siguientes oraciones utilizando el verbo en parténtesis como la forma sujeto del gerundio.
  1. (Cook) _______________ is one of her obvies.
Cooking is one of her hobbies.

  1. (Cycle) _____________ is fun.
  2. (Get) _____________a good job is not easy.
  3. (Find) ____________ a parking space is quite difficult in this area.
  4. (Drive) ______________ becomes more and more expensive.
