VERB TO BE WORKSHEET NAME: _________________________________________ CLASS: 1º ____ OBJETIVO: Identificar formas y funciones del Verbo To Be. Aplcar formas (estructuras) del verbo to be. Leer y comprender un texto con estructuras del verbo to be y responder Wh- questions. Estimados estudiantes, debido a la contingencia presentamos este material (en español e inglés para su mejor comprensión) sobre teoría y práctica del verbo TO BE.

Let’s see…..

¿Qué es el Verbo To Be y qué significa?

Este verbo es una palabra que en presente tiene dos

significados SER y ESTAR (solo trabajaremos la forma presente de este verbo). Para ejemplificar sus dos 2 significados observa los

siguientes ejemplos:

o Example 1:

I am from Chile / Soy de Chile

o Example 2: I am in Chile / Estoy en Chile

Explicación:

La explicación parece obvia pero no lo es. En el ejemplo 1, el

significado del verbo en la oración es SOY, el cual se relaciona con el significado SER. Por otro lado, en el ejemplo 2 el significado es

ESTOY, esto lo relaciona con el verbo ESTAR.

La consecuencia de lo anterior es que debes tener siempre presente los dos significados. Si quieres decir en inglés: Ella es bonita (SER) o Ella

está muy feliz, a pesar de que son verbos diferentes en español (SER y ESTAR), en inglés debes usar una sola forma (TO BE).

Let’s remember the pronouns

I (siempre en mayúscula) = Yo

You = Tú

He = Él

She = Ella

It = Eso – esa (animal, cosa, lugar)

We = Nosotros (as)

You = Ustedes

They = Ellos (as)

conjugarlo en presente cambia a sus 3 formas que son AM, IS y ARE.
