Los adjetivos describen sustantivos y pronombres
describiendo. Los adjetivos también pueden venir después de algunos verbos llamados
non-action verbos (to be, look, seem etc)
Non-action verbs are used to describe states, senses, desires, possession, emotions and opinion.
Non-action verbs are not usually used in continuous tenses.
For example:
Like, Love, Want, Need, Believe, Remember, Belong, Seem, Own, See, Taste, Hear
Ejemplos:
– The houses are beautiful. They are new. (Los adjetivos vienen despues ya que
usamos en este ejemplo el verbo ser o estar o TO BE)
– I live in a big house.
– That man looks old.
– I have a pretty and intelligent wife.
Adverbios
Los adverbios describen verbos, adjetivos u otros adverbios. Adverbios que describen adjetivos u otros adverbios usualmente vienen inmediatamente antes de la palabra que escriben.– It is an extremely nice apartment (extremely esta describiendo a la palabra nice
que es un adjetivo)
– They found it very quickly (very esta describiendo a otro adverbio en este caso
quickly)
Adverbs of manner
Estos adverbios describen a los “action verbs” o verbos de acción. Estos adverbios responden a la pregunta ¿Cómo? Vienen después del verbo que están describiendo.
We can
only use 'Action Verbs' with continuous tenses (for example, Present
Continuous). We do not use 'Non-Action Verbs' with continuous tenses.
Look at these examples:
·
'I am
liking this pizza'
'To like' is a state verb, not an action verb, and does not happen. It cannot be continuous. You like (or you don't like) something. "I like this pizza" is correct.
'To like' is a state verb, not an action verb, and does not happen. It cannot be continuous. You like (or you don't like) something. "I like this pizza" is correct.
·
'I am not
believing you'
'To believe' is a state verb, not an action verb. It cannot be continuous. You believe (or you don't believe) somebody or something. "I don't believe you" is correct.
'To believe' is a state verb, not an action verb. It cannot be continuous. You believe (or you don't believe) somebody or something. "I don't believe you" is correct.

Give
Go Grab Help Hit Hop Insult Joke Jump Kick Laugh Leave Lift Listen Make March Move Nod Open Play Push |
Read

Estos
adverbios son usualmente formados agregando “ly” al final de un adjetivo
Ejemplos:
–
He walks slowly.
– Pedro drives dangerously.
– He returned home quickly.
– Pedro drives dangerously.
– He returned home quickly.
Existe un
grupo de adverbios que no usan la terminación “ly”. Estos son: well, fast, wrong, late y hard.
Ejemplos:
–
Mary speaks English well.
(no existe goodly)
– He drives fast. (no se pone fastly)
– He drives fast. (no se pone fastly)
_ My father
works hard.
NOTA: cabe
indicar también que no toda palabra que termina en “ly” son adverbios. Hay
adjetivos que terminan en “ly” como: silly, friendly, lovely y lonely.
Recuerden que en inglés siempre hay excepciones.
Give time to
our family
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.
She said,
“I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some
time with you.”
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
“What's wrong, are you ok?” she asked.
My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded.
“Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date.
She waited in the door with her coat on.
She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
“I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, she said, as she got into the car.
“They can't wait to hear about our meeting.”
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy.
My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu.
Her eyes could only read large print.
Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.
A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said.
“Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded..
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation – nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life.
We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home.
“Very nice.
Much more so than I could have imagined,” I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack..
It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dinner.
An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance.
I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates – one for you and the other for your wife.
You will never know what that night meant for me.
I love you, son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than your family.
Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time.”
