    Verb to be

    What is the verb to be?


    The verb to be, is probably the most used verb in the
    English language and also the most important.

    This verb also presents variations in the present, past


    and simple future verb tenses.

    Examples:

    David's birthday will be March 23


    (El cumpleaños de David será el 23 de marzo)

    The glass of water is on the table


    (El vaso de agua está en la mesa)

    I am in the library
    (Yo estoy en la biblioteca)
    Uses of the verb to be
    Can be used in many ways in everyday life. It
    can be applied to describe a person, to indicate
    time or date, or to specify the location of
    something.

    The verb To be is of allmost importance in the English


    language. It is used to express age, to express feelings, to
    talk about the weather, etc.

    English verbs are a fundamental element in learning the


    language. In fact, I think it happens with any language,
    since verbs are the words that describe action.
    AUXILIARY
    DO - DOES - DID
    Do It is used for questions and answers with the pronouns
    (We, I, You and They).

    Example:

    Do they play tennis? / ¿Ellos juegan tenis?


    Yes, they do. / Sí.

    The auxiliary DO has no translation, but it has grammatical importance.


    The same happens with DOES.
    Does
    This auxiliary is used for questions and answers with
    the pronouns (He, She and it).

    Example:

    Does he study English? / ¿Él estudia inglés?


    Yes, he does. / Sí.

    As we said before, DOES has no translation in English, but


    it is important in the grammatical aspect.
    Did It is used in English in the verb tense called the simple past.

    Example:

    • Did he write this letter? / ¿Él escribió esta carta?

    In the above sentence, we can translate all the words except the auxiliary did:

    He: él
    Write: escribir
    This: esta
    Letter: carta

    The auxiliary DID does not mean anything, so why do we use it?

    We use it for a simple, but, at the same time, powerful reason: to form the correct
    structure of interrogative sentences and negative sentences in the simple past in English.
    Perfect Times
    It is used to talk about actions that started in the past and
    continue in the present, or things that happened in the recent
    past, but are still important.

    It is constructed with the verb have or has.


    Use of the present perfect tense
    1. Affirmative Sentences (Frases afirmativas)

    Subject + auxiliary verb (to have) + past participle...

    Examples:

    I have [I’ve] talked to Peter / He hablado con Peter.

    She has [She’s] gone to work / Ha ido a su trabajo.

    We have [We’ve] been to London / Hemos ido a Londres.


    2. Negative Sentences (Frases negativas)

    Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to have) + “not” + participio pasado…

    Examples:

    I haven’t talked to Peter / No he hablado con Peter.

    She hasn’t gone to work / No ha ido a su trabajo.

    We haven’t been to London / No hemos ido a Londres.


    3. Interrogative Sentences (Frases interrogativas)

    Verbo auxiliar (to have) + sujeto + participio pasado…?

    Examples:

    Have you talked to Peter? / ¿Has hablado con Peter?

    Has she gone to work? / ¿Ha ido a su trabajo?

    Have you been to London? / ¿Has ido a Londres?


    Thanks for watching!
    Lamentablemente tuve que hacer
    el video lo mas corto posible, ya
    que la plataforma donde estaba
    editando el video no me permitía
    hacerlo mas largo. Mil disculpas,
    se hizo lo que se pudo.
