and drive to work.
The restaurant
opens at 6:00 a.m.
sharp. We serve
breakfast until
eleven and lunch
until three. Then I

work on Saturdays
or Sundays, I only
work on weekdays."

work at 5:00 a.m.,
and sometimes I go
at 5:00 p.m.
Sometimes I leave
the house on
Monday and don't
come home until
Wednesday.I often

My job is
interesting, but my

And I don't see my

Questions
Do you live in an apartment?
Yes, I do.
No, I don't.
Does the apartment have a view?
Yes, it does.
No, it doesn't.
Do the bedrooms have closets?
Yes, they do.
No, they don't.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
It has four rooms.

A suburban house

living room

dining room

family room

kitchen

bedroom

bathroom

basement

garage

yard

garden

There is - There are

There's a table in the kitchen.
There is no sofa in the living room.
There are some armchairs in the living room.
There aren't any chairs in the kitchen.

There's = There is

1. SOME (unos, unas, algunos, algunas) es el plural del artculo indefinido a

(uno, una) y se usa nicamente en oraciones afirmativas. Para expresar unos,
unas, algunos, algunas en oraciones interrogativas o negativas se usa ANY.
Ejemplos: There are some chairs in the living room (Hay algunas sillas en la
sala de estar). Esta oracin es POSITIVA pues dice que HAY SILLAS. But there
aren't any chairs in the kitchen (Pero no hay ninguna silla en la cocina). Esta
oracin es NEGATIVA pues dice que NO HAY SILLAS. NO (ningn, ninguno) se
usa exclusivamente con oraciones negativas y, en el ejemplo de arriba, con un
sustantivo contable en singular: sofa.
NOT ANY y NO son sinnimos. Como regla general, cuando se los usa con
sustantivos contables, NOT ANY va seguido del sustantivo EN PLURAL,
mientras que NO va seguido del sustantivo EN SINGULAR

2. La expresin invariable espaola HAY se traduce en ingls por dos

expresiones distintas: THERE IS para el singular y THERE ARE
para el plural. Ejemplos: There is a book on the table (Hay un libro
sobre la mesa); There are two books on the table (Hay dos libros
sobre la mesa).
3. THERE IS y THERE ARE con el significado de HAY se usan
siempre al principio de la oracin; por ese motivo se lo llama
gramaticalmente el there "introductivo". Mientras en castellano
puedes decir indistintamente Hay tres dormitorios en la casa o En la
casa hay tres dormitorios, en ingls debes decir siempre There are
three bedrooms in the house.
4. ATENCION! No confundas el there introductivo con there (all),
opuesto a here (aqu). Incluso puede ocurrrir que en una misma frase
se encuentren ambos there: Ejemplo: There are some trees there
(Hay algunos rboles all).
5. Las formas interrogativas son: IS THERE? y ARE THERE?
(HAY?). Ejemplos: Is there a book on the table? (Hay un libro
sobre la mesa?); Are there two books on the table? (Hay dos
libros sobre la mesa?).
6. Las formas negativas son: THERE ISN'T y THERE AREN'T (NO
HAY). Ejemplos: There isn't a book on the table (No hay un libro
sobre la mesa); There aren't two books on the table (No hay dos
libros sobre la

stronger than I am. Maybe, I am just feeling sorry for myself because I am getting old.
Right now, Liam (sit) . with the owner of the inn. They (discuss)
.. the differences between life in England and life in Nepal. I (know,

Unfortunately, Liam (seem, also) to have difficulty learning
foreign languages. I just hope we don't get lost and have to ask for directions.
