Observaciones: 

Recuerden que en ingles siempre deben poner el Sujeto. En una oración positiva o negativa deberán seguir la formula (SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENT) en donde el complement es opcional.

Ejemplo : - Es bonita - Is pretty (INCORRECTO) –> No hay sujeto y en el ingles es necesario - She is pretty (Correcto) 

No se enamoren del verbo to be. Solo quiere decir ser o estar. Algunos creen que siempre lo deben poner pero depende de que acción haga el sujeto.

Ejemplo - Juega futbol.

- He is play futbol (ERROR) –> el sujeto no hace 2 acciones a la vez.

- He plays football (CORRECTO) Es decir, el sujeto puede hacer distintas acciones y el verbo to be solo es para expresar acciones de ser o estar. En otras lecciones aprenderemos como hacer oraciones con otros verbos Algunos ejercicios de Grammar in Use Basic
