Grammar Appendix introduction O Present Simple O Present Simple emprégase para expresar hábitos e verdades xerais, e para falar de gustos, opinións e horarios. Adoita ir acompañado das seguintes expresións temporais: every day (todos os días), at night (pola noite), on + día da semana en plural, etc. Todas poden ir ao comezo ou ao final da frase, mais adoitan poñerse ao final. Tamén se empregan estes adverbios de frecuencia: always (sempre), usually (polo xeral), often (a miúdo), sometimes (ás veces, algunhas veces), rarely (estraña / rara vez) e never (nunca, xamais). We always go to bed early. (Sempre nos deitamos cedo.) Cauliflower is a healthy food. (A coliflor é un alimento san.) I like biscuits. (Gústanme as galletas.) They skate every day. (Eles patinan todos os días.) En afirmativa é o mesmo que o infinitivo sen to, agás na 3ª persoa do singular, na que se engade -s. Nalgúns casos, dependendo da terminación do verbo, engádese -es: • Se remata en ss, sh, ch e x: pass ➝ passes wash ➝ washes • Se remata en o: do ➝ does

teach ➝ teaches

mix ➝ mixes

go ➝ goes

• Se remata en consoante + y, cámbiase o y por un i antes de engadirlle a terminación -es: study ➝ studies carry ➝ carries A negativa fórmase poñendo don’t / doesn’t diante do verbo. I don’t eat meat. (Non como carne.) En interrogativa ponse Do / Does + o suxeito + o verbo. Nas respostas curtas ponse o pronome persoal suxeito + do / does ou don’t / doesn’t, segundo corresponda. Do you like milkshakes? Yes, I do. / No, I don’t. (Gustas dos batidos? Gusto. Si. / Non.) Se a pregunta ten unha partícula interrogativa, ponse esta primeiro, antes de do / does. When do they play tennis? (Cando xogan ao tenis?)

O Present Continuous O Present Continuous expresa o que está a ocorrer mentres falamos ou no período de tempo presente. Adoita ir acompañado das expresións temporais at the moment (neste momento), now (agora), right now (agora mesmo, arestora), today (hoxe), etc. Todas poden ir ao comezo ou ao final da frase, mais adoitan poñerse ao final. Tim is reading your text message. (Tim está a ler a túa mensaxe de texto.) A afirmativa fórmase co presente do verbo to be + un verbo rematado en -ing. Nos seguintes casos, cómpre reparar nestas regras ortográficas para engadir -ing ao verbo: • Se remata en e muda, perde o e: arrive ➝ arriving • Se é de 1 sílaba e remata en 1 vogal + 1 consoante, dóbrase esta consoante: put ➝ putting • Se é de 2 sílabas e se pronuncia como palabra aguda, dóbrase a consoante final: refer ➝ referring begin ➝ beginning • Se ten 2 sílabas e remata nun l, dóbrase esa letra: travel ➝ travelling • Se remata en ie, cámbianse estas dúas letras por un y: die ➝ dying En negativa engádese a partícula not ás formas am, is e are, ou a contracción n’t a is e are. My mum isn’t surfing the Internet. (Miña nai non está a navegar por Internet.) En interrogativa ponse o verbo to be + o suxeito + un verbo rematado en -ing. Nas respostas curtas afirmativas ponse o pronome persoal suxeito seguido de am, is ou are, mais nas negativas is e are contraen coa partícula not. Are you watching your favourite TV programme? Yes, I am. / No, I’m not. (Estás a ver o teu programa de televisión favorito? Estou. Si. / Non.) Se a pregunta ten unha partícula interrogativa, ponse esta primeiro, antes de am / is / are. Where are you living now? (Onde estades a vivir agora?) Action! ESO 4 Galician © B Burlington Books

Grammar Appendix Contraste entre o Present Simple e o Present Continuous O Present Simple expresa hábitos, mentres que o Present Continuous sinala o que está a ocorrer no intre de falar. We usually go on holiday to the beach, but we’re flying to London now. (Polo xeral imos de vacacións á praia, mais agora estamos a voar cara a Londres.) As expresións temporais axudan a diferenciar un tempo do outro. Os verbos “estáticos” Os verbos estáticos empréganse para expresar gustos, sentimentos e desexos, actividades da mente, posesión e percepción. Refírense a estados, non a accións, polo que non se adoitan empregar co Present Continuous. I love music. (Encántame a música.)

Grammar Appendix

unit 1 O Past Simple O Past Simple emprégase para expresar accións ocorridas nun momento concreto do pasado e para contar historias en pasado. Por iso adoita haber na frase algunha expresión temporal que sinale cando ocorreu a acción: as que levan ago (hai) ao final da expresión, yesterday (onte), last month (o mes pasado), etc. Todas poden ir ao comezo ou ao final da frase, pero adoitan poñerse ao final. The trip lasted two hours. (A viaxe durou dúas horas.) O Past Simple dos verbos regulares fórmase engadindo -ed ao verbo. Para iso cómpre reparar nestes regras ortográficas: • Se remata en e mudo, só se engade -d: invite ➝ invited dance ➝ danced • Se remata en consoante + y, cámbiase o y por un i: try ➝ tried cry ➝ cried • Se é de 1 sílaba e remata en 1 vogal + 1 consoante que non sexa w ou x, dóbrase a consoante: plan ➝ planned stop ➝ stopped mais fix ➝ fixed • Se é de 2 sílabas e ten o acento na derradeira, dóbrase a última consoante: prefer ➝ preferred mais listen ➝ listened • Se remata en l, dóbrase esa letra: travel ➝ travelled Os verbos irregulares son diferentes e cómpre saber de memoria as súas formas de pasado (ver páxs. 33-34). A negativa fórmase poñendo didn’t diante do verbo e é igual en todas as persoas do singular e plural. We didn’t use public transport. (Non utilizabamos o transporte público.) En interrogativa ponse Did + suxeito + verbo. Nas respostas curtas ponse o pronome persoal suxeito + did / didn’t, segundo corresponda. Did you walk to the hotel? Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t. (Camiñaches até o hotel? Camiñei. Si. / Non.) Se a pregunta ten unha partícula interrogativa, ponse esta primeiro, antes de did. What did Mary learn about Paris? (Que aprendeu Mary sobre París?)

Grammar Appendix Contraste entre o Past Continuous e o Past Simple O Past Simple sinala que a acción ocorreu e rematou no tempo especificado na frase, mentres que o Past Continuous se emprega para se referir a accións prolongadas que estaban a ocorrer no pasado. She had fun with her friends last night. (Pasouno ben cos seus amigos esta noite.) I was watching a film yesterday morning. (Estiven a ver unha película onte á mañá.) Empréganse os dous tempos xuntos para sinalar que no medio dunha acción longa ocorreu algunha cousa. A acción máis curta leva when e o verbo en Past Simple, e a acción longa leva as conxuncións while ou as e o verbo en Past Continuous. When my parents got home, we were playing the guitar.

unit 3 O Present Perfect Simple O Present Perfect Simple emprégase para falar de: • accións pasadas cuxos efectos son visíbeis no presente. I have complained about his behaviour. (Queixeime do seu comportamento.) • accións ocorridas ao longo do tempo sen dicir cando. That writer has inspired my father’s novel. (Ese escritor inspirou a novela do meu pai.) • a  ccións que comezaron no pasado e aínda continúan. Neste caso, adoita poñerse for ou since e ás veces tradúcese o verbo en presente. She hasn’t run a marathon since last year. (Non ten corrido / corre un maratón desde o ano pasado.) • accións que acaban de ocorrer. Daquela ponse just entre o auxiliar e o participio. They have just invented a new mobile phone. (Acaban de inventar un novo teléfono móbil.) Este tempo fórmase con have / has + un verbo en participio (rematado en -ed se é regular, se é irregular, podes consultar a listaxe das páxs. 33-34). Cómpre lembrar que a forma contraída de have é ’ve e a de has é ’s. En negativa engádese a partícula not ou a contracción n’t a have / has (haven’t / hasn’t). We haven’t learned anything today. (Non aprendemos nada hoxe.) En interrogativa ponse Have / Has + o suxeito + un verbo en participio. E nas respostas curtas só se pon o pronome persoal suxeito + have / has ou haven’t / hasn’t. Have you studied hard for your exams? Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t. (Estudaches moito para os exames? Estudei. Si. / Non.) Co Present Perfect Simple adoitan empregarse estas expresións temporais e adverbios: already (xa), always (sempre), never (nunca), ever (algunha vez [interrogativa]; nunca, xamais [negativa]), just (acabar de), recently (recentemente, hai pouco), yet (aínda [negativa]; xa [interrogativa]), for (durante [ou non se traduce]) y since (desde). Todas menos yet, for e since van entre have / has e o participio. Yet colócase ao final da frase, recently adoita poñerse ao final tamén, for vai seguida dun período de tempo e since vai diante do momento en que comezou a acción. We have never been to Africa. (Nunca estivemos en África.) Have they won the football tournament yet? (Xa gañaron o torneo de fútbol?)

unit 4 A voz pasiva en presente e en pasado Coa voz pasiva saliéntase a acción do verbo e non o suxeito que a realiza, xa sexa porque non é importante ou se sobreentende, ou porque non se sabe quen é. En inglés emprégase moito a pasiva, mais en galego adoita traducirse o verbo na voz activa ou na forma impersoal con “se”. A afirmativa fórmase con to be en presente ou en pasado + o participio do verbo principal (rematado en -ed se é regular; se é irregular, podes consultar a listaxe das páxs. 33-34). More energy efficient homes are needed to have less pollution. (Precísanse máis casas enerxeticamente eficientes para ter menos contaminación.) We were informed about the greenhouse effect. (Informáronos arredor do efecto invernadoiro.) En negativa engádese a partícula not ou a contracción n’t ao verbo to be, seguido do participio. Solar energy isn’t used in many houses in this town. (A enerxía solar non se emprega en moitas casas desta cidade.) En interrogativa ponse o verbo to be en presente ou pasado + o suxeito + o participio do verbo principal. E nas respostas curtas vai primeiro o pronome persoal suxeito e despois do verbo to be no tempo correspondente, sen contraer en afirmativa ou contraído coa partícula not en negativa. Were plastic containers invented in the 19th century? Yes, they were. / No, they weren’t. (Os envases de plástico inventáronse no século XIX? Inventáronse. Si. / Non.) Se se quere amentar quen / que realiza ou realizou a acción, ponse ao final da frase precedido de by. Global warming is caused by several factors. (O quecemento global está provocado por varios factores.)

If you give me your e-mail address, I’ll send you the files. (Se me dás o teu enderezo de correo electrónico, enviareiche os arquivos.) O primeiro condicional emprégase para dicir o que ocorrerá se se cumpre a condición sinalada. A afirmativa fórmase con if + Present Simple na condición, e un verbo con will no resultado. They’ll stay at home if it rains. (Ficarán na casa se chove.) Para formar a negativa pódese negar o verbo que vai en presente, o que vai en futuro ou ambos os dous.

unit 6 O estilo indirecto en oracións enunciativas O estilo indirecto emprégase para contar o que alguén dixo mais sen repetir exactamente as súas palabras. Polo xeral, emprégase o verbo say en pasado seguido dunha oración de obxecto directo introducida por that, quítanse as comiñas propias do estilo directo e cámbiase o verbo e mais o pronome suxeito. Tamén podemos comezar co pasado do verbo tell seguido co obxecto indirecto. “Ralph’s telling a story,” Sharon said. [estilo directo] Sharon said that Ralph was telling a story. (Sharon dixo que Ralph estaba a contar unha historia.) “The footprint is in the kitchen,” the detective said to me. [estilo directo] The detective told me that the footprint was in the kitchen. (O detective díxome que a pegada estaba na cociña.) Como o verbo que introduce o estilo indirecto vai en pasado, o da oración subordinada dá un salto atrás no tempo, isto é, o Present Simple pasa a Past Simple, o Present Continuous a Past Continuous, will convértese en would, etc. Tamén cambian os demostrativos, os posesivos, os modais e as expresións de tempo e lugar. Repara nestes exemplos: “I’m working on a new case,” the policeman said. ➝ The policeman said that he was working on a new case. (O policía dixo que estaba a traballar nun caso novo.) “I must focus on our witness today,” Jim said. ➝ Jim said that he had to focus on their witness that day. (Jim dixo que tiña que se centrar na súa testemuña ese día.) “They’ll arrest the thieves this afternoon,” the shop assistant said. ➝ The shop assistant said that they would arrest the thieves that afternoon.

En negativa engádese a partícula not ou a contracción n’t ao verbo modal, e en interrogativa ponse o verbo modal + o suxeito + o verbo na forma base. • C  an significa “saber” cando expresa habilidade ou capacidade para facer algo, e “poder” cando expresa posibilidade ou permiso. Monkeys can climb very well. (Os monos saben gabear moi ben.) You can come with me to the party. (Podes vir comigo á festa.) • C  ould é o pasado de can. Expresa habilidade e posibilidade no pasado. Lara could sing when she was two years old. (Lara sabía cantar cando tiña dous anos.) I couldn’t attend their wedding last weekend. (Non puiden asistir á súa voda a semana pasada.) En interrogativa tamén serve para pedir permiso ou favores, pero de maneira máis educada que con can. Could you tell me something about British folklore? (Poderías contarme algo sobre o folclore británico?) • Should emprégase para dar ou pedir consellos e para dicir o que se debería ou non facer. You should bring your umbrella. (Deberías traer o paraugas.) • Must significa “deber” e expresa a obriga e a necesidade ou conveniencia de facer algo. You must learn their customs. (Debes aprender os seus costumes.) • M  ustn’t expresa prohibición, que algo non está permitido, e tamén que algo non se debe facer porque non convén ou non é correcto facelo. People mustn’t believe in stereotypes. (A xente non debe crer en estereotipos.) • H  ave to significa “ter que” e expresa, como must, a obriga ou necesidade de facer algo. A diferenza é que have to si se conxuga e, por iso, a forma para a 3ª persoa do singular é diferente (has to). Ademais, emprégase nos tempos que must non ten. She has to feed the dog in two hours. (Ten que dar de comer ao can en dúas horas.) They had to pay to use toilets. (Tiveron que pagar para empregar os servizos.) En negativa ponse don’t / doesn’t have to + o verbo, e significa “non ter que” ou “non ter por que”. We don’t have to bring our own food. (Non temos que / por que levar a nosa propia comida.) Lembra que have to significa o mesmo que must, pero don’t have to e mustn’t non son equivalentes. They don’t have to leave now. (Non teñen que / por que marchar xa.) [non é preciso] They mustn’t leave now. (Non deben marchar agora.) [está prohibido] En interrogativa ponse Do / Does + o suxeito + have to + o verbo. E nas respostas curtas ponse o pronome persoal suxeito + do / does ou don’t / doesn’t. Do we have to travel to the coast? Yes, you do. / No, you don’t. (Temos que viaxar á costa? Temos. Si. / Non.) • May (“poida que”, “talvez”, “se cadra”) e might (“puidese / podería ser que”) expresan posibilidade, aínda que no segundo caso é máis remota. En interrogativa may emprégase para pedir permiso ou favores de maneira moi educada. You may arrive in Scotland this afternoon. (Poida que cheguedes a Escocia esta tarde.) Sue might go to the museum tomorrow. (Puidese ser que Sue vaia ao museo mañá.) May I have some water? (Podo tomar un pouco de auga?)

Grammar Appendix

unit 9 O comparativo e o superlativo O comparativo de superioridade emprégase para comparar dúas cousas, animais ou persoas cando unha supera á outra nalgún aspecto. Para formalo cómpre reparar na lonxitude do adxectivo: • A  os adxectivos curtos (de 1 sílaba, ou de 2 rematados en y) engádeselles a terminación -er e detrás ponse a partícula than. This milk is cheaper than the juice. (Este leite é máis barato que o zume.) • Os adxectivos longos quedan igual, mais levan diante more e detrás than. My mobile phone is more expensive than Tim’s. (O meu móbil é máis caro que o de Tim.) O comparativo de igualdade fórmase con (not) as + adxectivo + as. Tradúcese por “(non) tan... como/a”. Oranges are as healthy as strawberries. (As laranxas son tan sas coma os amorodos.) This plate is not as big as that plate. (Este prato non é tan grande coma ese prato.) O superlativo emprégase para comparar máis de dúas cousas, animais ou persoas e dicir que unha destaca sobre as demais. Para formalo tamén cómpre ter en conta a lonxitude do adxectivo: • A  os adxectivos curtos (de 1 sílaba, ou de 2 rematados en y) engádeselles a terminación -est e diante ponse o artigo the. She's the smartest girl in the class. (É a rapaza máis intelixente da clase.) • Os adxectivos longos quedan igual, mais levan diante the most. A knife is the most useful tool to cut meat. (Un coitelo é a ferramenta máis útil para cortar a carne.) Regras ortográficas para engadir -er / -est: - Se remata en e mudo, só engade -r ou -st: wide ➝ wider, nice ➝ nicest - Se remata en 1 vogal + 1 consoante, dóbrase esta consoante: big ➝ bigger, fat ➝ fattest - Se remata en consoante + y, cambia o y por un i: heavy ➝ heavier, pretty ➝ prettiest, mais shy ➝ shyer, shyest As formas comparativa e superlativa dos adxectivos irregulares cómpre aprendelas de memoria. good ➝ better ➝ the best (bo/boa, mellor, o/a mellor) bad ➝ worse ➝ the worst (malo/a, peor, o/a peor)

1 Complete the sentences with the comparative form

of the adjectives in brackets. 1. My sister’s room (neat) my room. 2. My phone (advanced) my tablet. 3. The first Harry Potter book (good) the second book. 4. The large containers (economical) the small containers. 5. Hawaii (hot) Alaska.

Writing Guide ORGANIZA AS IDEAS (Organising your ideas)

A FINALIDADE DO TEXTO

DIVISIÓN DO TEXTO EN PARÁGRAFOS

Purpose of writing

Paragraphing

Antes de comezar, debes ter claro o que queres escribir para elixir a linguaxe axeitada: informal se é un correo electrónico a un amigo/a, e máis formal se vai ser un texto informativo.

Cando escribimos parágrafos, organizámolos da seguinte maneira: Paragraph 1: subministra información xeral sobre o tema. Paragraph 2: dá detalles ou desenvolve o tema.

ANTES DE ESCRIBIR

Paragraph 3: inclúe unha conclusión e ás veces tamén unha opinión.

Brainstorming 1. Fai unha listaxe de ideas ou un mapa de preguntas relacionadas co tema (what?, who?, when?, where?, why?). 2. Leas e risca as que xulgues irrelevantes. 3. Pon as restantes na orde en que queiras presentalas.

ORGANIZACIÓN DO TEXTO (Text organisation)

A ESTRUTURA DO PARÁGRAFO

Paragraph 1: My favourite book is the science fiction / fantasy novel The Hobbit. It was written by J.R.R. Tolkien and first published in 1936. The book tells the story of a hobbit called Bilbo Baggins. Paragraph 2: Hobbits are small peaceful creatures from a place called Middle-earth and Bilbo Baggins lives a quiet life in his hobbit home. But that changes when Gandalf the Wizard chooses Bilbo to go on a great but dangerous adventure. Paragraph 3: J.R.R. Tolkien created an amazing world in The Hobbit and the story is very exciting. I really recommend this book for teenagers everywhere.

Paragraph structure Un parágrafo ten tres partes: • A primeira oración (opening sentence), que presenta a idea principal. • O corpo do parágrafo (body of paragraph), que amplía a idea principal con información importante. • A derradeira oración (closing sentence), que resume a idea principal e a repite con outras palabras. Opening sentence:

Body of paragraph:

Closing sentence:

Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, is a fabulous place for a holiday. This amazing island has got beautiful beaches with impressive resorts. People come from all over the world to see the wildlife at the Teide National Park. Also, you can visit the Institute of Technology and learn how to use renewable energy. If you go to Tenerife, you will definitely have an unforgettable holiday.

Connectors of purpose

Adjective Order

As conxuncións finais, como to, in order to e so that, empréganse para expresar a finalidade ou o propósito manifestado na oración principal.

• Se hai varios, polo xeral van nesta orde: opinión, tamaño, idade, forma, cor

I walk to school to stay fit. You can use a mobile phone in order to take pictures. We should leave now so that we won’t be late.

ridiculous, cone-shaped green hat • Cando hai dous adxectivos acompañando un mesmo substantivo, non hai vírgula entre os adxectivos; mais si hai máis de dous adxectivos, non hai vírgula entre os dous últimos.

OS CONECTORES DE SECUENCIA

Connectors of sequence

Cando se contan unha serie de feitos, empregamos estas palabras para amosar a orde en que ocorreron:

FEITOS E OPINIÓNS

• first (primeiro, en primeiro lugar)

Facts and opinions

• after that (despois, logo)

Os feitos son información real e obxectiva, mentres que as opinións son puntos de vista persoais. Cando se escribe, adóitanse empregar feitos para apoiar as opinións que se dan e adoitan empregarse expresións como I think, I feel, in my opinion ou it seems.

• at first (ao comezo) • then (logo, entón) • later (despois, máis tarde) • at last (por fin)

He won the competition. (Feito)

• next (a continuación) • finally (ao final, finalmente, para rematar) First indica o primeiro que pasou e finally o derradeiro. Yesterday, we went to the amusement park. First, we got a map from the visitors’ centre. Then, we went on some rides. Next, we had lunch. After that, we saw a musical show. Finally, at 10 o’clock we drove home.

AS CONXUNCIÓNS COPULATIVAS Connectors of addition As conxunción copulativas empréganse para relacionar ideas semellantes entre si e engadir información adicional. A máis común é and. A mesma función pode ser exercida por algúns adverbios: also, in addition e as well as.

I think he had to train for months. (Opinión) In my opinion, it isn’t easy to win a competition like that. (Opinión)

AS CONXUNCIÓNS CAUSAIS E CONSECUTIVAS Connectors of cause and effect As conxuncións causais máis comúns son: because, because of, as a result of, since. I couldn’t have a cup of coffee yesterday because the coffee machine was broken. Sam doesn’t like swimming in the ocean because of the fish in it.

LINGUAXE INFORMAL Informal language A linguaxe informal escrita adoita caracterizarse polo emprego de: - formas contraídas (I’m, doesn’t, you’ve) - expresións cotiás (cool, hi, bye, guess what?) - puntuación informal como parénteses (–), guións –, puntos suspensivos para omitir contido … , signos de exclamación ! e emoticonas :-), :-(, ;-).
