• ¿Cuál es el tema central de la carta?

  Dear sister,

  This weekend I'm going to look for a new apartment to rent. I'm optimistic that I can find a cheap one. I don’t have to find it soon. However, I would like to find it before the end of summer. I would also like to find an apartment that has a parking garage. I also need an apartment that accepts pets. I don't want to give away my cat. Many landlords don't mind if their tenants have small pets.

  • La persona tiene que dar sus tres gatos en adopción

• De acuerdo con el texto, some, half, most y all...

  The subject pronouns, like she or it or they, refer to specific, definite persons, places, or things. However, indefinite pronouns do not refer to a specific person or place or to definite things. Indefinite pronouns, such as the words some, half, most, and all, may take either singular or plural verbs, depending on their meaning in the context of the sentence. If these words tell how much of something is meant, the verb is singular; but if they tell how many of something is meant, the verb is plural. Students should not confuse the words with the words each, either, and neither. Those three words always require a singular verb.

  • funcional igual que each, either and neither
  • son conocidos en inglés como pronombres subjetivos
  • siempre van a tener un solo significado contextual
  • pueden aceptar verbos en singular o plural
