Los sustantivos en inglés pueden ser masculinos, femeninos o neutros:

Son masculinos los nombres de varones y los de animales de sexo

masculino

Son femeninos los nombres de mujeres y los de animales de sexo

femenino

Son neutros los nombres de objetos inanimados

El género de los sustantivos no afecta ni al artículo ni al adjetivo que los

acompañan, ya que estos no varían de forma. Por ejemplo:

The red car El carro rojo

The red cars Los carros rojos

28

Inglés Básico

Pero en cambio, si hay que tener en cuenta el género del sustantivo a la hora

de sustituirlo por un pronombre personal:

The boy is here He is here El niño está aquí Él está aquí.

The car is big It is big El carro es grande Este es grande

El plural de los sustantivos se forma añadiendo "s" a la forma singular:

Cat – Cats Gato – Gatos

Dog – Dogs Perro – Perros

Pero si el sustantivo finaliza en "o", "ch", "sh", "ss", "x", para formar el plural

hay que añadir "-es":

Box – Boxes Caja – Cajas

Potato – Potatoes Papa – Papas

Y si finaliza por "y", tras una consonante, el plural se forma eliminando esta

"y" y añadiendo la terminación "-ies":

Copy – Copies Copia – Copias

Lady – Ladies Dama – Damas

Cuando el sustantivo termina en “-f” o “-fe”, el plural se forma eliminando

estas y añadiendo la terminación “ves”

Wife – Wives Esposa – Esposas

Wolf – Wolves Lobo – Lobos

29

Inglés Básico

Algunas palabras en inglés tan sólo tienen la forma plural:

Pants Pantalones

Scissors Tijeras

Glasses Lentes

Otras, en cambio, tan sólo tienen forma singular:

Beauty Belleza

Oil Petróleo

Gold Oro

Fish Pescado

Existen también algunos plurales que son irregulares. A continuación se

listan algunos de ellos:

Man – Men Hombre – Hombres

Woman – Women Mujer – Mujeres

Tooth – Teeth Diente – Dientes

Foot – Feet Pie – Pies

Mouse – Mice Ratón – Ratones

Child – Children Niño – Niños

Goose – Geese Ganso – Gansos

Articles / Artículos

Definite Article / Artículo Definido

En inglés se utiliza el Artículo The como el equivalente en español de “El, la,

los, las” para personas o cosas específicas. Por ejemplo:

Ana is the teacher in that school Ana es la profesora en esa escuela

30

Inglés Básico

Indefinite Article

El artículo indefinido en Inglés está representado por “a” o “an”, ambas

significan en castellano “un, una” para personas o cosas en general.

Se utiliza “a” antes de un sustantivo que inicie en consonante. Por ejemplo:

Ana is a teacher Ana es una profesora

Se utiliza “an” antes de un sustantivo que inicie con una vocal o una letra

con sonido semivocálico. Por ejemplo:

Jose is an engineer José es un ingeniero

Unidad IV Descripción de personas, cosas

y lugares

Objetivo Terminal

Describir en el idioma Inglés personas, cosas y lugares en forma oral y

escrita.

Contenido

Descripción de la casa, el salón de clases, oficina, lugares, personas.

Identificación de países, nacionalidades, idiomas.

Relaciones familiares.

Posesivos (‘s).

Preguntas de información.

Días de la semana, meses.

Información de la unidad

En el idioma Inglés usamos adjetivos para dscribir personas, animals y

cosas, ejemplo:

Big (grande)

Tall (alto)

Blue ( azul)

A diferencia del español, los adjetivos va ubicados antes del sustantivo,

ejemplo:

This is a beautiful house. (Esta es una casa bella.)

56

Inglés Básico

También pueden ir ubicados después del verbo, al final de una oración,

ejemplo:

María is intelligent. (María es inteligente.)

Para indagar la procedencia de las personas se pregunta Where are you

from? (¿De donde eres?) es muy importante que se use la preposición from

en es6a presgunta, ya que su omisión cambiaría totalmente el significado de

la misma. Ejemplo:

Where are you? ( Donde estas?)

Where are you from? (¿De donde eres?)

El posesivo (‘s) es usado para indicar pertenencia, este se agrega al

sustantivo, ejemplo:

Miriam’s car. (El carro de Miriam)

Podemos observar mediante el ejemplo que el sustantivo va en primer lugar

y lo que se posee en segundo lugar. Es importante no confundir el posesivo

(‘s) con la contracción del verbo to be, ejemplo:

Miriam’s a student. ( Miriam es una estudiante.

Miriam’s students (Los estudiantes de Miriam)

Por otra parte si el sustantivo termina en “s” solo agregamos el apóstrofe (‘s),

ejemplo:

Luis’ dog. (El perro de Luis.)

The students’ classrrom. (El salón de clase de los estudiantes.)

57
