Teoría 7: Condicional

Would es el pasado de “will” en algunos casos y es un verbo modal auxiliar. Se forma sin ‘do’ y después de ‘would’ ponemos el infinitivo sin ‘to’.
I'd like some more whisky. / Quisiera un poco más de whisky
Would you like to go out with me on Saturday night? / ¿Te gustaría salir conmigo el sábado por la noche?
I wish you wouldn’t smoke. / Preferiría que no fumaras
- Would puede ser el pasado de ‘will’ en el estilo indirecto.
Se usa para hablar sobre ‘el futuro en el pasado’, cuando hablamos sobre un acción en el pasado que todavía no ha ocurrido en el tiempo del que estamos hablando.
When I saw her on the bus. I didn't know that I would fall in love with her.
Cuando la vi en el autobus, no sabía que me enamoraría de ella
I had no idea that they would offer me the job.
No tenía ni idea de que me ofrecerían el trabajo
- Would se usa como ‘will’ para pedir cosas, y ofrecer.
Would you sign here, please? / ¿Querría usted firmar aquí?
Would you like some chocolate cake? / ¿Le apetece un poco de pastel de chocolate?
I`d like to see you again /.Me gustaría volver a verte
Would you mind waiting in my office? / ¿Le importa esperar en mi oficina?
- También would puede indicar los habitos en el pasado y una firme voluntad en el pasado de hacer algo.
He would play football, rugby and tennis, but he hated playing golf.
Jugaba futbol, rugby y tenis, pero odiaba jugar golf.
My grandmother would sit in her room all day in a bad mood, and would only cheer up when she went to the casino.
Mi abuela solía sentarse en su habitación todo el día de mal humor, y solo levantaba el animo cuando se iba al casino.
- Pero no se puede usar el would cuando la acción ocurre en una sola ocasión en el pasado.
Comparar :
Bono sang at the concert last Sunday. / Bono cantó en el concierto el domingo pasado
(Y no Bono would sing at the concert last Sunday )
- Sin embargo, ‘would not’ se puede usar para indicar la negación de una ocasión.
I invited her to my flat, but she wouldn´t come. / Le invité a mi piso, pero ella no quiso venir
The bloody T.V. wouldn`t work last night. / No funcionaba el maldito televisor ayer por la noche
- Para criticar el comportamiento de la gente, se puede usar ‘would’. En esté caso se da más énfasis (stress) en el would.
“You were a good boy, but you WOULD leave your clothes all over the bedroom floor”
Eras un buen chico, pero siempre dejabas tu ropa en el suelo
“That`s typical of you, you WOULD go to the pub without leaving me a note!”.
¡Eso es típico de tí,te fuistes al pub sin dejarme una nota!
- ‘Would’, como ‘used to’, puede hablar de acciones repetidas y cosas en el pasado, pero no para referirse a estados como vivir, estar etc.
I used to play football in the park every Sunday. / Solia jugar futbol en el parque todos los domingos
I would play football in the park every Sunday. / Solia jugar futbol en el parque todos los domingos)
I used to live in London. / Solia vivir en londres
Pero no: I would live in London
- Would (y también should), como un verbo auxiliar, se usa con verbos que refieren a situaciones no reales o no ciertas. Se puede comparar con el subjuntivo en español. Aparecen mucho con las frases con ‘if’.
If I were a rich man, I'd build a big, tall house. / Si fuera rico, construíria una casa grande y alta
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning. / Si tubiera un martillo, martillearía por la mañana
If I ruled the world, every day would/should be the first day of spring.
Si gobernara el mundo, todos los días sería el primer día de la primavera
If I had known you were married, I wouldn´t have asked you to dinner.
Si hubiera sabido que estabas casada, no te habría invitado a cenar

Teoría 1: Los Pronombres

Como en castellano, los pronombres personales adoptan formas distintas según la función que desempeñan en la oración:

COMO SUJETO

(ái) I yo

(iú) you tu, usted

(jí) he él

(shí) she ella

(it) it ello (para cosas)

(uí) we nosotros, nosotras

(iú) you ustedes, vosotros, vosotras

(déi) they ellos, ellas

1. En castellano existe el sujeto tácito (Como una manzana) pero en inglés el sujeto debe expresarse siempre y precede al verbo: I eat an apple every day, (yo) como una manzana a diario.

2. Sólo puede suprimirse el pronombre con el imperativo, pues se sobreentiende que va dirigido a la persona o personas que lo escuchan: Come here!, ¡ven aquí! ¡vengan aquí!

COMO COMPLEMENTO (Pronombres Objetivos)



(mí) me me, a mí

(iú) you te, a ti, a usted

(jím) him le, a él

(jer) her le, a ella

(it) it le, a ello (para cosas)

(as) us nos, a nosotros, a nosotras

(iú) you les, a ustedes; a vosotros, a vosotras

(dém) them les, a ellos, a ellas

1. El pronombre objetivo tiene función de complemento de verbo o preposición:

Mary met him here
Mary lo encontró aquí (complemento de verbo)

Mary came with him
Mary vino con él (complemento de preposición)

2. Si el verbo tiene dos complementos (CD: complemento directo; CI: complemento indirecto), la frase tiene dos formas posibles de construcción:

V + CD + to + CI = I give an apple to him, Le doy una manzana a él.

V + CI + CD = I give him an apple, Le doy a él una manzana.
