There is - There are
There is y there are se usan para decir hay. Si estamos hablando

Are there any books? Hay libros?
Negativa:

Para responder se suele utilizar la forma corta, es decir, la forma

usual en ingls.

Are there any books?
Yes, there are. / No, there arent.
Is there a book?
Yes, there is. / No, there isnt.
Con estas expresiones usamos normalmente los determinantes
some y any.

nombres en plural (tienen ms o menos el mismo significado que

Some se puede generalizar como la forma plural de a / an y one.

Genitivo sajn
En ingls, cuando hablamos de posesin con personas, es decir,
cuando algo pertenece a alguien, utilizamos lo que se llama
genitivo sajn, que consiste en colocar primero la persona que
posee algo seguido de la forma s, y despus la cosa poseda.
Poseedor + s + cosa poseda
Si decimos, por ejemplo, La casa de Mara, en este caso la
persona que posee es Mara y el objeto posedo es la casa, luego
la forma correcta sera: Maras house.
Tenemos que prestar atencin al hecho de que en espaol se usa
un artculo que en ingls se omite como hemos visto en el ejemplo
anterior.
Cuando el poseedor es singular o no acaba en s, el genitivo se
forma con s, pero si el poseedor est en plural o acaba en s, el
genitivo se forma solamente con .
Eg.: my fathers wife my parents car
la mujer de mi padre el coche de mis padres
Por otra parte, cuando el poseedor es una cosa, expresamos
posesin con la preposicin of como en espaol.
Eg.: The capital of France La capital de Francia
Also y Too
Also significa tambin y se usa despus del verbo To be o
cualquier otro verbo usado como auxiliar. En estos casos, el
sujeto no se puede separar del verbo.
Sujeto + verbo To be + also + ...
Eg.: I am also a doctor Yo tambin soy (un) mdico
Sin embargo, cuando usamos cualquier otro verbo, also se coloca
entre el sujeto y el verbo. En este caso si podemos separar el
sujeto del verbo.
Sujeto + also + verbo + ...
Eg.: I also study Yo tambin estudio
Too significa tambin, pero siempre va colocado al final de
la frase, cualquiera que sea el verbo.
Eg.: I am a doctor, too Yo tambin soy (un) mdico
I study, too Yo tambin estudio
Plurales irregulares
foot - feet woman - women child - children
