👤 Part 1: Personal Pronouns

📌 ¿Qué son? Los personal pronouns (pronombres personales) reemplazan a los nombres para evitar repeticiones. Indican quién realiza la acción.

Subject Pronoun Significado Ejemplo (Example)
I Yo I work during the day.
You Tú / Usted / Ustedes You study in the evening.
He Él He wakes up early.
She Ella She works at a store.
It Él / Ella (objetos / animales) It is a good job.
We Nosotros / Nosotras We study together.
They Ellos / Ellas They finish work at 6 PM.

💡 Remember: Los pronombres personales SIEMPRE acompañan al verbo en inglés. No podemos omitirlos como en español.

✅ I am a student.     ❌ Am a student.

✅ She works hard.     ❌ Works hard.

🔗 Part 2: Verb To Be

📌 ¿Qué es? El verbo “to be” significa “ser” o “estar”. Es el verbo más importante en inglés y se usa para describir estados, identidades y ubicaciones.

Present Tense (Presente)

Pronoun Verb To Be Example
I am I am a student.
You are You are a worker.
He / She / It is She is at work now.
We are We are in class.
They are They are tired.

Past Tense (Pasado)

Pronoun Verb To Be Example

You were You were tired last night.
He / She / It was She was at work.
We were We were in class.
They were They were at the bus stop.
📌 Ejemplos en contexto (EPJA Student)

Present: I am a student at EPJA. I am tired but happy.

Past: Yesterday, I was very busy. We were at school until 10 PM.

Negatives: I am not lazy. He was not at home.

Questions: Are you a student? Was she at work yesterday?

📝 Part 3: The -ing Form

📌 ¿Qué es? La forma “-ing” se usa para formar el Present Continuous (acciones que están ocurriendo en este momento) y también como gerundio (actividades en general).

Present Continuous (Presente Continuo)

Pronoun Structure Example
I am + verb-ing I am studying now.
You are + verb-ing You are working today.
He / She / It is + verb-ing She is reading a book.
We are + verb-ing We are having dinner.
They are + verb-ing They are walking to school.

💡 Spelling Rules for -ing:

  • Most verbs: add -ing → work → working, read → reading
  • Verbs ending in -e: drop -e, add -ing → write → writing, make → making
  • One-syllable CVC verbs: double final consonant → run → running, stop → stopping
📌 Ejemplos en contexto (EPJA Student)

Right now, I am sitting in my classroom. I am listening to the teacher.

My classmates are writing notes. We are studying English.

At 10 PM, I am going home. I am taking the bus.

📝 Part 4: Regular & Irregular Verbs

📌 ¿Qué son? Para hablar del pasado, usamos el Past Simple. Los verbos se dividen en:

  • Regular Verbs: añaden -ed al final.
  • Irregular Verbs: cambian completamente o se mantienen igual.

Regular Verbs (Verbos Regulares)

Base Form Past Form Example
work worked I worked yesterday.
