PRESENTACIÓN
El uso del diccionario en las clases regulares de inglés suele limitarse,
casi como una tradición, a la búsqueda de significados específicos o traducciones de determinadas palabras. Creemos que en esta práctica limitada subyace una de las razones por las cuales los alumnos suelen considerar el diccionario como una herramienta fácilmente prescindible o de importancia secundaria para el aprendizaje del idioma inglés.
Con este nuevo Activity Book, complemento del Diccionario Bilingüe
Bruño, deseamos contribuir a superar la referida práctica. Para ello le
proveemos, a modo de sugerencias pedagógicas para emplear en clase, un
conjunto variado de actividades orientadas a propiciar un uso creativo,
motivador y autónomo del diccionario.
La primera sección, Getting to know your Bilingual Dictionary, está destinada a que el alumno se familiarice con su diccionario, llevándolo a que
explore sus contenidos de manera sistemática y se percate por sí mismo de
las posibilidades de información que le presenta; las cuatro siguientes —
Lexical Items, Syntactical Items, Semantic Items y Phonetics— presentan
actividades agrupadas a partir de la prioridad que se da a uno u otro elemento lingüístico; y la última, Miscellaneous Activities, combina práctica
variada y entretenimiento.
Las actividades aquí propuestas pueden emplearse para reforzar puntos
específicos del curso (plurales irregulares, uso de preposiciones después
de adjetivos o verbos, falsos cognados, expresiones idiomáticas, etc.), en
cualquier momento en que usted sienta la necesidad de variar el ritmo de
la clase, o bien como homework que contribuya a que sus alumnos construyan su aprendizaje por sí mismos.
Con el material que aquí le presentamos deseamos complementar las actividades que ya usted pueda haber desarrollado para que sus alumnos usen
su diccionario adecuadamente. Si lo cree necesario, por ello, amplíe o varíe los contenidos de nuestra propuesta de acuerdo a la realidad y necesidades específicas de cada grupo de clase. Utilice la pizarra para presentar una determinada actividad como un ejercicio breve, de motivación inmediata, o prepare fotocopias de algunas secciones para que sus alumnos
las desarrollen en clase —individualmente o en grupos—o en sus casas.
Los aportes que le presentamos en este Activity Book, sumados a su propia
experiencia, creatividad y entusiasmo, con seguridad contribuirán no sólo
a facilitar el aprendizaje de sus alumnos sino también —en estricta concordancia con requerimientos pedagógicos modernos— a darles autonomía.

SYNTACTICAL ITEMS
ELEMENTOS SINTÁCTICOS
ACTIVITY 15. In general, the PLURAL of nouns in English is made up by
adding -s or -es to the corresponding singular form. Some
nouns, though, have an irregular plural, that is, they make
up their plural by changing their spelling in a rather irregular
way. Examples:
Singular
book
church
mouse
Plural
books
churches
mice
Look up and write the singular / plural form of the following
nouns, as corresponds:
Singular
Plural
lice
Singular
geese
die
bacterium
sandwich

ACTIVITY 16. REGULAR VERBS make up their past tense and past
participle by adding -d or -ed to their simple form.
Examples:
Simple form
like
listen
Past tense
liked
listened
Past participle

listened
IRREGULAR VERBS make up their past tense and past
participle changing their spelling in quite an irregular way
or do not change at all. Examples:
Simple form
go
cut
Past tense
went
cut
Past participle
gone
cut
Check your dictionary to identify the following verbs either
as REGULAR (´v.´ in your dictionary) or IRREGULAR (´v.
12
irreg.´ in your dictionary). Tick the appropriate boxes, as
in the example:
Verb
argue
visit
v.
v. irreg.
✓
Verb
book
study
v.
v. irreg.
fight
refer
hang
do
eat
sing
ACTIVITY 17. Write the past tense and past participle of the verbs listed
in ACTIVITY 16.
ACTIVITY 18. Complete the blank boxes with the missing VERB FORM,
as in the example:
Simple form
take
Past tense Past participle
took
taken
fought
come
cut
write
invite
started
written
copied
can
ACTIVITY 19. Three of the four words in every series below have the same
GRAMMATICAL CATEGORY. One does not. Example:
- take / study / for / answer
Take, study and answer are VERBS. For is a PREPOSITION.
What category do the following words have? Circle the word
with the different grammatical category. Check your
dictionary in case of doubt.
1. always / ever / usually / around
2. up / for / behind / there
3. me / him / it / they
4. mine / yours / your / theirs
5. who / that / why / where
13
6. easy / fast / actually / quick
7. hence / otherwise / until / therefore
8. consider / buy / try / remark
ACTIVITY 20. Put the words below in the correct column according to
their GRAMMATICAL CATEGORY. Some words may have
more than one category.
purely
book
table
study
this
their
upstairs
down
part
mine
s.
adj.
v.
adv.
pron.
ACTIVITY 21. Make sentences with the words in ACTIVITY 20.
ACTIVITY 22. Generally speaking, the four basic grammatical categories
are noun, adjective, verb and adverb. Although they usually
derive from one another (mostly departing from the noun),
not all four categories are necessarily present in this derivation chain. Examples:
s.
v.
beauty
faith
ease
goodness
beautify
ease
adj.
beautiful
faithful
easy
good
adv.
beautifully
faithfully
easily
well
Complete the blank boxes below with the missing word(s)
that fit each grammatical category.
s.
v.
adj.
fraternity
adv.
fraternally
lucky
smile
carefully
comfort
disorderly
14
ACTIVITY 23. Make 8 sentences with any of the words in ACTIVITY 22 (2
from each column).
ACTIVITY 24. As a general rule, when a PREPOSITION is FOLLOWED BY
A VERB, the verb has to be used in gerund form (with -ing).
Examples:
- I am interested in learning about computers.
- She is tired of waiting.
Complete the following sentences with the correct verb
form. Check the corresponding entry in your dictionary in
case of doubt.
1. (learn) I am interested in ................ about computers.
2. (invite) Thank for ................ me!
3. (listen) I am tired of ................ to the same story over and over.
4. (try)
Keep on ................ and you’ll succeed.
5. (move) They dream of ................ to another country.
6. (smoke) The doctor has told him to give up ................ .
7. (disturb) Thank you for not ................ me while I was sleeping.
8. (quit)
He thought of ................ his job for a while but then he
changed his mind.
ACTIVITY 25. As a general rule, an ADJECTIVE FOLLOWED BY A PREPOSITION requires the use of one and only one specific
preposition after it, with no possible alternative. That is to
say, the grammatical correctness of such a sequence
depends on the use of the right preposition. Examples:
- This dictionary is different from the others.
- She seems to be mad at me.
Complete the following sentences with the right preposition. Check the corresponding entry in your dictionary
in case of doubt.
1. The little child was afraid .......... the dog.
2. My brother is very good .......... math.
3. I am not interested .......... rock any more.
4. My sister is fond .......... romantic music.
5. Are you sorry ................ your bad behavior in class?
6. I don´t understand why he got angry ................ me.
7. I am lucky ................ be your friend.
8. Yorur parents must be proud ................ your achievements.

SEMANTIC ITEMS
ELEMENTOS SEMÁNTICOS
ACTIVITY 26. The translation of some Spanish words into English may
differ depending on whether we express them in American
or British English. Examples:
Spanish
algodón (golosina)
galleta (dulce)
American English
cotton candy
cookie
British English
candyfloss
biscuit
Look up and write the translations of these words in
American English and British English:
Spanish
basurero (tacho)
solitario (juego de cartas)
viajero (s.)
papas fritas
chupón (para bebes)
ascensor
American English
British English
librería
fútbol
despedida de soltera
despedida de soltero
ACTIVITY 27. IDIOMS are phrases that have no literal translation. Since
their Spanish counterparts are therefore approximate equivalencies rather than mere translations, most of them need
to be learned almost by heart. Examples:
- The Quixote liked to fight windmills.
(Al Quijote le gustaba luchar contra molinos de viento).
Look up and write the Spanish equivalencies for the following English idioms:
1. My father and I are bosom friends.

sequence varies with the specific preposition used with it.
Examples:
- (look for = buscar)
I am looking for a new alternative.
- (look at = mirar)
Why are you looking at me?
Complete the following sentences with the correct
preposition. Check the corresponding entry in your
dictionary in case of doubt.

10. Open the dictionary and look .......... the word you need.
ACTIVITY 30. FALSE COGNATES (the so called ´false friends´) are words
that have a meaning different from the one they seem to
have at first impression. Examples:
Word
apology
equivocation
false meaning
apología
equivocación
actual meaning
disculpa
ambigüedad
To develop your students´awareness regarding false
cognates, check with them the translations given in your
dictionary for some of the false cognates listed below and
ask them to make sentences using these words.
abstemious actual
agonizing alteration
argument
bazaar
bizarre
cancel
casual
classify
conference current
cynical
eligible
felony
obscurity
plausible
reparation suburb
truculent
Alternatively, depart from Spanish words/sentences to have
your students render in English the corresponding version
of those words/sentences. Some random words you could
depart from:
actual
aviso
clasificarse compromiso discutir
election
eventualmente genial
ignorar
informal
18
mermelada preservativo
profesor
reunion
truculento
To help your students surpass any initial confusion aroused
by the `unexpected´ meaning or translation of these words,
discuss with them the information given in parenthesis in
the corresponding entry. Then have your students translate
a few sentences from English to Spanish and viceversa,
using any of the words above. Some random sentences
that could be used:
- The current economic situation is rather stable.
- There were several guest speakers at the conference.
- His good manners could not hide his truculence.
- Todos vestían ropa informal.
- Mi compromiso es ayudar a todos.
- Ella es profesora (de colegio) y su esposo catedrático.
Any remaining doubt will make your further clarification
necessary.
ACTIVITY 31. Look up 3 ways to say ‘al revés’ in English and write one
sentence with each of them.
ACTIVITY 32. Look up 3 compound expressions with ‘in’, 3 with ‘on’ and
3 with ‘up’ and make 1 sentence with each of them.
ACTIVITY 33. The use of SEXIST WORDS tends to be avoided by some
people because their use implies some degree of gender
discrimination. The alternative use of nonsexist words is
therefore recommended instead of sexist words. Examples:
Sexist word
policeman / policewoman
fireman
Nonsexist alternative
police officer
firefighter
Rewrite the following sentences using an alternative nonsexist word instead of the sexist word in boldface.
1. She is a sucessful businesswoman.
2. The fire was extinguised by ten brave firemen.
3. The chairman led the discussion with ability.
4. The conquest of the man was a great success for man.
5. Five policemen were necessary to capture the criminal.
6. Call the waitress to pay the bill.
7. A teacher has to be friendly with his students.
8. Mulanovich is probably our most important sportswoman now.

2. /tʃ/ shame / chain / shout / page
3. /d/ chin / cash / teach / John
4. /θ/ thought / fought / sought / that
5. /ð/ three / those / think / dot
ACTIVITY 36. Four or the five words in every series below have a common
vowel or diphthong sound. One word contains a vowel
sound which does not belong.
Read through every series and identify the word with the
odd sound. If you have any doubt about their pronunciation
check it in your dictionary. Then read them out loud.

Noun
compact
coordinate
/kəmpkt/
/koɔrdnt/
Adjective
/kəmpkt/
/koɔrdnt/
Verb
/kəmpkt/
