1 RESUMEN ÁMBITO DE INGLÉS. GRAMMAR 2 3 4 Los adjetivos comparativos y superlativos en inglés se utilizan para comparar varios sujetos atendiendo a una característica. Los adjetivos se miden en varios grados, que son: Grado positivo: Inteligente – intelligent Grado comparativo: de igualdad: tan inteligente como … – as intelligent as … de superioridad: más inteligente que … – more intelligent than … de inferioridad: menos inteligente que … – less intelligent than … Grado superlativo: el más inteligente – the most intelligent Así pues, vemos que los adjetivos comparativos y superlativos en inglés por regla general se construyen con: as … as, more … than, less … than, y the most, pero esto no siempre es así. 5 El comparativo de superioridad y el superlativo siguen reglas distintas en ocasiones especiales. Veamos una tabla con todos los casos posibles: Adjetivo Comparativo de superioridad Superlativo Intelligent more intelligent than … the most intelligent Beautiful more beautiful than … the most beautiful Fast faster than … Adjetivos con más de 1 sílaba Adjetivos de 1 sílaba Tall taller than … He is taller than you the fastest Slow slower than … the slowest “er”, “le”, “ow” Easy easier than … the easiest better than … You are better than him the best Bad worse than … Far farther / further than … Old older / elder than … Little less than … the least Many / Much more than … the most Adjetivos irregulares My car is the fastest ( Mi coche es el más rápido) the tallest Adjetivos terminados en “y”, Good She is the most beautiful woman of the world the worst the farthest / furthest the oldest / eldest Conviene hacer algunas observaciones en relación con: Latter. Significa el segundo de dos. Last. Es el último, el final. Latest. Significa último hasta el presente. The latest news (Ultimas noticias, las más recientes en tanto no se reciban otras). Farther. Se refiere generalmente a distancia. (Barcelona is farther from London than from Paris) (Barcelona está más lejos de Londres que de París). Further. Significa adicional. (I will give you further details later.) (Le daré detalles adicionales -ulteriores- más tarde). También further puede usarse para distancias, al igual que farther, pero, en cambio, sólo further puede utilizarse en sentido adicional. Much. Se usa en singular. (I have no much time.) (No tengo mucho tiempo). Many. Se usa en plural. (I have not many pencils.) (No tengo muchos lápices). Finalmente, si el superlativo se refiere a lugar (complemento de lugar, según dicen las Gramáticas), en inglés se usa la preposición in. (New York is the biggest town in the U. S. A.)(Nueva York es la mayor ciudad de los Estados Unidos). 6 7 8 9 Formas simples Presente (yo) voy (tú) vas (él) va Indicativo (nosotros) vamos (vosotros) vais (ellos) van Futuro (yo) iré (tú) irás (él) irá (nosotros) iremos (vosotros) iréis (ellos) irán Pretérito perfecto simple (yo) fui (nosotros) fuimos (tú) fuiste (vosotros) fuisteis (él) fue (ellos) fueron Pretérito imperfecto (yo) iba (tú) ibas (él) iba (nosotros) íbamos (vosotros) ibais (ellos) iban Condicional (yo) iría (tú) irías (él) iría (nosotros) iríamos (vosotros) iríais (ellos) iría Formas simples Subjuntivo Presente (yo) vaya (tú) vayas (él) vaya (nosotros) vayamos (vosotros) vayáis (ellos) vayan Futuro (yo) fuere (tú) fueres (él) fuere (nosotros) fuéremos (vosotros) fuereis (ellos) fueren Imperativo Pretérito imperfecto (yo) fuera o fuese (tú) fueras o fueses (él) fuera o fuese (nosotros) fuéramos o fuésemos (vosotros) fuerais o fueseis (ellos) fueran o fuesen ve (tú) vaya (él, usted) vayamos (nosotros) id (vosotros) vayan (ellos, ustedes) Infinitivo : ir Gerundio : yendo Participio : ido 10 Formas compuestas Indicativo Pretérito perfecto compuesto (yo) he ido (tú) has ido (él) ha ido (él) hay ido (nosotros) hemos ido (vosotros) habéis ido (ellos) han ido Pretérito pluscuamperfecto (yo) había ido (tú) habías ido (él) había ido (nosotros) habíamos ido (vosotros) habíais ido (ellos) habían ido Futuro perfecto (yo) habré ido (tú) habrás ido (él) habrá ido (nosotros) habremos ido (vosotros) habréis ido (ellos) habrán ido Condicional perfecto (yo) habría ido (tú) habrías ido (él) habría ido (nosotros) habríamos ido (vosotros) habríais ido (ellos) habrían ido Pretérito anterior (yo) hube ido (tú) hubiste ido (él) hubo ido (nosotros) hubimos ido (vosotros) hubisteis ido (ellos) hubieron ido Subjuntivo Pretérito perfecto Pretérito pluscuamperfecto (2) (yo) hubiese ido (tú) hubieses ido (él) hubiese ido (nosotros) hubiésemos ido (vosotros) hubieseis ido (ellos) hubiesen ido Pretérito pluscuamperfecto (yo) hubiera ido (tú) hubieras ido (él) hubiera ido (nosotros) hubiéramos ido (vosotros) hubierais ido (ellos) hubieran ido Infinitivo compuesto haber ido Gerundio compuesto Futuro perfecto (yo) hubiere ido (tú) hubieres ido (él) hubiere ido (nosotros) hubiéremos ido (vosotros) hubiereis ido (ellos) hubieren ido habiendo ido 11 Formas simples Indicative Present I go you go he/she/it goes we go you go they go Preterite I went you went he/she/it went we went you went they went Infinitive Imperative to go go let's go go Participle Present going Past gone Formas compuestas Past Participle having gone Indicative Present continuousPresent perfect I am going I have gone you are going you have gone he/she/it is going he/she/it has gone we are going we have gone you are going you have gone they are going they have gone Future I will go you will go he/she/it will go we will go you will go they will go Future perfect I will have gone you will have gone he/she/it will have gone we will have gone you will have gone they will have gone Past continuous Past perfect I was going I had gone you were going you had gone he/she/it was goinghe/she/it had gone we were going we had gone you were going you had gone they were going they had gone Future continuous Present perfect continuous I will be going you will be going I have been going he/she/it will be goingyou have been going we will be going he/she/it has been going you will be going we have been going they will be going you have been going they have been going Past perfect continuous I had been going you had been going he/she/it had been going we had been going you had been going they had been going Future perfect continuous I will have been going you will have been going he/she/it will have been going we will have been going you will have been going they will have been going 12 También es importante saber que utilizamos el verbo Be para los siguientes casos: Para presentarnos.
