WHICH GRAMMAR CONTEINS ARE WE GOING TO STUDY IN THIS UNIT?
UNDERLINE:
GREEN: NEW GRAMMAR CONTEIN (THERE WAS/ THEREWERE)
BLUE: WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY STUDIED BEFORE YELLOW: PAST FORM OF THE VERB TO BE
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!

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.
