Actividad

Consigue fotos de tu artista favorito y escribe acerca de él o ella utilizando el verbo “to be”.
Ejemplo:
She is Shakira, she is from Colombia….etc……………
Si es hombre:
He is Luis Miguel. He is a singer. He is from……………
Si es un grupo de personas:
They are U2. They are from Ireland. They are…..
Si es hablas de una mascota o un objeto usas “it is”
It is Garfield. It is my cat. It…..

* A veces en las oraciones no aparecen los pronombres personales (I, you, he, she, it, we, they)
en su lugar aparecen nombres de personas (Pedro, Susan, Tom and Joe) o sustantivos femeninos
o masculinos (Mi mama, mi maestro, la señora). Es importante saber cuál es el pronombre
personal que corresponde a cada persona para saber que palabra del verbo “to be” le
corresponde. Ejemplo:

My father = he

4
Siendo mi papa una persona de sexo masculino, le corresponde el pronombre “he”. Por lo tanto
si quiero hacer una oración con el verbo “to be” ,la palabra que seguiría sería “is” (he is).
Ejemplo:
My father is in the office

Exercise 5. Tomando en cuenta lo anterior, analiza que pronombre existe detrás de los
siguientes sujetos. Ejemplo: 1.- María = she
2.- My brother =
3.- My dog =
4.- Tom and Sue=
5.- Pepe and I = 6.-
My parents = 7.-
The woman = 8.-
The boy =
9.- The school =
10.- My classmates and I =
Ahora que ya puedes identificar el pronombre de cada sujeto, Llena los espacios con el verbo to
be: “am”, “are” o “is”, según corresponda. Recuerda la conjugación:
I am
He, she, it is
We, you, they are
