AMBIENTACIÓN:

temática o actividades deberán ser consultada a través del grupo de WhatsApp destinado para este

CONCEPTUALIZACIÓN:
Las “question words” ayudan a definir y especificar aún más una pregunta en inglés. Una
Curiosidad: son conocidas como “Wh questions”, pues se escriben con “wh” o “h”.
Es importante destacar que estas palabras se utilizan normalmente al principio de la pregunta y
deben estar acompañadas de los auxiliares respectivos del tiempo verbal.
Recordemos algunos de los verbos auxiliares más usados: AM-IS-ARE-DO-DOES-DID-WILL- CAN
What: significa “qué” o “cuál”. What did you do yesterday?
(¿Qué hiciste ayer?)
Which: significa “cuál” o “cuáles” Which jacket should I buy, the brown one or the black one?
(¿Qué chaqueta debería comprar, la marrón o la negra?)
VARIANTES:
What colour are her eyes? (¿De qué color son sus ojos?)
What time is it? (¿Qué hora es?)
What day is it today? (¿Qué día es hoy?)
What kind of music do you listen to? (¿Qué tipo de música escuchas?)
NOTA:
Se utiliza “WHAT” para hacer una pregunta cuando hay un número desconocido o
infinitas posibilidades de respuestas u opciones. Se usa para preguntar en general.
Usamos “WHICH” cuando las opciones posibles son limitadas a un pequeño número
(quizás 2, 3 o 4) y hay que seleccionar una entre ellas. Se puede utilizar tanto con cosas
como con personas.
Who: Presente =Who + verb (S) + complemento? Who works at school?
(¿Quién trabaja en la escuela?)
“Quién” Pasado= Who + verb(ed) + complemento? Who worked at school?
(¿Quién trabajó en la escuela?)
Whose: Singular = Whose + objeto + is this? Whose blouse is this?
(¿De quién es esa blusa?)
¿De Plural = Whose +objetos + are these? Whose blouses are these?
quién? (¿De quién son estas blusas?)
NOTA:
1. WHO significa ¿quién? y para formar la oracion en presente y pasado simple omitimos el verbo
auxiliar como se muestra en el ejemplo.
2. WHOSE significa ¿De quién? (El posesivo — pregunta por el dueño de algo). Tambien maneja un
estructura diferente:
En español se pone normalmente “¿De quien es el perro?”.
En inglés, ponemos whose + el objeto de quien queremos encontrar el dueño: Whose dog…?
When: Significa “cuándo”. When are you travelling?
(¿Cuándo vas a viajar?)
Where: Significa “dónde”. Where did you go last night?
(¿Dónde fuiste la noche pasada?)
Why: Significa “por qué”. Why are you taking so long?
(¿Por qué tardas tanto?)
How: Significa “cómo”. How are you?
(¿Cómo estás?)
NOTA:
1. Cuándo preguntamos con “WHY”, la respuesta se hace con “BECAUSE“ que significa "porque".
Por ejemplo:
Why is she happy? (¿Por qué está feliz?)
Because she passed her exam (porque aprobó el examen)
2. VARIANTES DE HOW. La traducción de HOW variará en función del adjetivo o sustantivo que lo
acompañe.
How much > "¿Cuánto? (incontables)
How many > "¿Cuánto? (contables)
How often > "¿Cón qué frecuencia?" "¿cuántas veces?" "¿cada cuánto tiempo?".

ACTIVIDAD Nº 3
Responde las siguientes preguntas de acuerdo con la información del texto.
Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best
method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to
listen to the language all the time you are in the country. You will be
surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage
is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. In Italy, it
is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the
learning is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make
big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never
possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can
learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to
spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the
only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities:
to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

A) There are no Italians in Britain.

C) The language schools are better.
3. What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English?
A) The teachers aren't very good in Britain.
B) You have to work too hard in Britain.
C) Your life can continue more or less as it was before.

A) Learn English in Britain.
