BLUE: WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY STUDIED BEFORE                                                         YELLOW: PAST FORM OF THE VERB TO BE




Read this text and guess :


Last week, there was one really, really bad day. It was Monday. Usually, there are about 25 students in my class, but that day, there were only 5 people! It wasn't warm. In fact, it was really cold. It was raining a lot. It was dark and gray outside. There wasn't any sunshine. I think the students weren't at school because they were sick. They were at home. Maybe they were in bed.


Mr. Jibbit is our teacher. He is always at school. He is never at home on a Monday. Last Monday was no different. He was not in bed. He was in the classroom, and he was cold! Why was he so cold? That's a very good question. He was cold because the heater in the school was broken. It was freezing. The school was like a refrigerator. Our room was like a freezer! And poor Mr. Jibbit was like ice! The small class was cold, cold, cold!


The next days were much warmer. The heater was fixed on Tuesday, so everything was ok. There weren´t only 5, there were 25. But where was Mr. Jibbit? He wasn't there. He was at home, sick in bed!

EXPLANATION




Verbo TO BE - Ser o Estar


El verbo TO BE, que en castellano se traduce como SER o ESTAR, en el idioma inglés goza de una particular importancia. Su significado depende del sentido de la oración. Por ejemplo:

SIGNIFICADO

 Soy un doctor. (Se aplica como verbo ser)
I am a doctor.
Estoy en casa. (Se aplica como verbo estar)
I am at home

USOS

¿POR QUÉ NECESITAMOS ESTUDIAR EL VERBO TO BE?

El verbo To be también se emplea con otros significados distintos a los equivalentes españoles de ser o estar.
Para hablar sobre el tiempo atmosférico, con el significado de hacer:
It is very hot  (it's very hot) = Hace mucho calor
Para hablar de la edad, con el significado de tener:
Peter is 12 years old = Pedro tiene 12 años
Para hablar sobre las sensaciones, con el significado de tener:
She was hungry = Ella tenía hambre
* Lo tendremos muy presente también a la hora de hacer descripciones:
He is tall.
Existen otros casos donde el verbo TO BE se emplea como auxiliar para conjugar tiempos verbales y también para dar órdenes de manera impersonal que desarrollaremos en niveles superiores.
