Read the passages and choose the correct options according to the readings.

One of my favorite vacation places is Mexico. I really like the weather there because it never gets cold. The people are very nice too. They never laugh at my bad Spanish. The food is really good. Mexico City is a very interesting place to visit. It has some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels are too expensive to stay but there are more affordable options. For example, you can stay at one of the beach resorts like Acapulco. If you are planning to visit Mexico, you should definitely see the Mayan temples near Merida.

6th WEEK (25th-31st May)

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE: 

To explain 

PHRASAL VERBS

¿Qué es un Phrasal Verb?

---

También conocidos como “multi-word verb”, un phrasal verb es simplemente un verbo compuesto. Esto quiere decir un verbo (take, go, play, turn, etc.) acompañado de una preposición o de un adverbio (esas palabras pequeñitas como up, down, by, into, etc.). Mira este ejemplo:

TAKE: tomar, coger.
OFF: fuera de, apagado (depende del contexto).
TAKE OFF: despegar (cuando se habla de aviones, ojo que este verbo también tiene otros significados).

Lo especial de estos verbos es que son idiomáticos, en otras palabras, no los puedes explicar o traducir palabra por palabra sino en conjunto. Es esta la razón por la que quizá has escuchado a tus amigos y compañeros de los cursos avanzados decir que los phrasal verbs son muy difíciles. En realidad es cuestión de práctica y algunas estrategias que nosotros, los capos del BRITÁNICO, vamos a compartir con ustedes.

¿Por qué los Phrasal Verbs son importantes en mi aprendizaje?

---

¡Porque son usados todo el tiempo! Es más, desde los cursos básicos ya estás rodeado de phrasal verbs. Si no nos crees, acá algunos ejemplos:

– “Ok, for this activity, can everyone stand up, please?”

– “If the lift is full, you can go up the stairs”

– “Go back to your seats now, please”

– “It’s too cold, can you turn off the air conditioner, teacher?”

Otro ejemplo: mira estos clips de la película animada Moana en los que encontrarás 7 phrasal verbs en diferentes partes de la película:

Entonces, ya te habrás dado cuenta que:

(1) los phrasal verbs son usados en todo momento en inglés

(2) más que traducirlos, lo que se puede hacer es interpretarlos porque en el español no usamos phrasal verbs

(3) ese “no sé qué” que hace que el inglés suene tan inglés está en gran parte en los phrasal verbs.

Entonces, no excuses, BRITÁNICO friends, hay que aprender, practicar y utilizar phrasal verbs, y cuanto más antes mejor.

4th WEEK (11 May – 20 May)

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE:  To learnt REPORTED SPEECH.

REPORTED SPEECH (INDIRECT SPEECH)

¿Qué es el reported speech?

¿Alguna vez has escrito algo que has parafraseado o no mencionas de forma exacta? Si es así, probablemente has utilizado el estilo indirecto, también conocido como reported speech en inglés.

El estilo indirecto o reported speech es la forma en la que puedes contar, explicar, escribir o decir algo con tus propias palabras, cambiando el tiempo verbal al pasado.

Se diferencia del discurso directo de esta forma, ya que el discurso directo implica que digas o escribas todo textual y exacto a como sucedió.

Reglas para utilizar el reported speech

Para usarlo, tienes que tener en consideración algunas reglas sencillas.

Regla N°1: Debes aprender que, en el reported speech, los tiempos verbales cambian.

Es decir, en el direct speech o en el estilo directo, todas las expresiones de tiempos verbales están en presente.  Pero cuando utilices el estilo indirecto o reported speech este verbo cambia a pasado. Sin embargo, hay dos excepciones que verás más adelante.

Estilo directo o Direct Speech	Estilo indirecto o Reported Speech
Presente Simple Ejemplo: “I am very glad to see you again”, Miguel said.	Pasado Simple Ejemplo: Miguel said that he was glad to see me again.
Presente Continuo Ejemplo: “Sabrina is working in Buenos Aires” he said.	Pasado Continuo Ejemplo: He said Sabrina was working in Buenos Aires.
Pasado Simple Ejemplo: “Did you finish the test?” she asked.	Pasado Perfecto Simple Ejemplo: She asked me if I had finished the test.
Presente Perfecto Simple Ejemplo: Mario said, “I’ve already gone out”	Pasado Perfecto Simple Ejemplo: Mario told me that he’d already gone out.
Pasado Perfecto Simple Este tiempo verbal se mantiene igual para el direct o reported speech. Ejemplo: “I’d been to my home before the college” she said. She said that she’d been in her home before the college.
Regla N°2: Los tiempos verbales de los verbos modales, también conocidos como modal verbs en inglés, también cambian. Como hemos mencionado arriba, los tiempos verbales cambian una vez que se pasa del estilo directo al indirecto, y los modal verbs tampoco escapan de esto, excepto would, could, should, might y ought to. Veamos cómo se aplica esta regla para los verbos modales: Verbos modales Estilo directo o Direct Speech Verbos modales Estilo indirecto o Reported Speech Will “Will you marry me?” he asked. Would He asked me if I would marry him. Can Mónica said, “Mateo can come here tomorrow”. Could Mónica said Mateo could come here tomorrow.
