POSICION DE LOS ADJETIVOS EN INGLES
1) Los adjetivos son palabras tales como SHORT, GOOD, TALL, etc. Que
modifican a los sustantivos. Algunas veces otros sustantivos (tales como:

a) Después del verbo TO BE como ocurre en español. Ej:
THE MUSEUM IS BIG ------------- El museo es grande
THE GIRL IS TALL ------------------ La muchacha es alta.
b) Antes de los sustantivos como en los siguientes casos:
GUADALAJARA IS A BIG CITY ---- Guadalajara es una ciudad grande
THIS IS AN EASY PROBLEM ---- Este es un problema fácil

PRESENTE PROGRESIVO O PRESENTE DE MOMENTO
El Presente Progresivo o Presente de Momento representa las acciones que se están llevando a cabo en el momento en que se están diciendo. Para poder formar el Presente Progresivo es necesario tener los siguientes elementos:

b) El gerundio de un verbo (*)
c) Un complemento (si es necesario)
Page 12
ENGLISH PRACTICE I – By Robert Katz (Page 13)
(*) El gerundio se forma agregando la terminación ING a la FORMA SIMPLE del verbo (El infinitivo menos "TO") y equivale a las terminaciones ANDO, IENDO en castellano.

IMPERATIVO
El modo Imperativo se utiliza para indicar: ORDEN, RECOMENDACIÓN, SUPLICA o SUGERENCIA. Para formar este Modo Verbal se requiere la FORMA SIMPLE de verbo (El Imperativo menos la preposición TO [Ver Nota correspondiente la la Unidad 5]). Ejemplos:

TIEMPO PRESENTE
El tiempo PRESENTE de los verbos en inglés (excepto el verbo TO BE) se forma anteponiendo un pronombre personal o un sujeto a la forma simple del verbo. En las terceras personas del singular (he, she, it) se agregará una "S". Si el verbo termina en SH, CH o X, u O, se agregará ES.
I WORK ---- Yo trabajo
YOU WORK ---- Tú trabajas
HE WORKS ---- El trabaja
SHE WORKS ---- Ella trabaja
IT WORKS ---- Ello (cosa o animal) trabaja
WE WORK ---- Nosotros(as) trabajamos
YOU WORK ---- Ustedes trabajan
THEY WORK ---- Ellos trabajan
Nota.- Algunos verbos sufren cambios ortográficos en la tercera persona singular pero lo anterior no altera la regla en lo absoluto. Si el verbo termina SH, CH, X u O se agregará ES; Si termina en “Y” se cambia esta por “i” antes de agregar ES. Ejemplos:
Finishes --- Fixes --- Catches --- Goes --- Does
El Tiempo Presente se utiliza para describir una acción habitual o una verdad general. Ejemplos:
I study English every day of the week.
We live in the United States of America
Mexico has many natural resources.
Verbos auxiliares DO y DOES.
DO y DOES se utilizan para formar el interrogativo de las oraciones en tiempo presente (excepto aquellas que contengan el verbo TO BE)
