• De acuerdo con el texto, ¿qué información es correcta?

  Verbs can be either main verbs or auxiliary verbs. Main verbs tell what action is being performed in a sentence. Auxiliary verbs are used in combination with main verbs. They perform two major functions: 1. Auxiliary verbs indicate shades of meaning that cannot be expressed by a main verb alone. 2. Auxiliary verbs also show tense—the time at which the action of the verb takes place. Do you know the position that auxiliary verbs have in a sentence? They always come before the main verb, although sometimes another word, such as an adverb, may come between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.

  • Los verbos auxiliares jamás van antes del verbo principal
  • Los verbos principales dicen qué acción está en proceso
  • Un adverbio puede estar entre el verbo principal y el sujeto
  • Los verbos auxiliares cumplen tres funciones principales

• 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
  • pueden aceptar verbos en singular o plural
  • son conocidos en inglés como pronombres subjetivos
  • siempre van a tener un solo significado contextual
