Observaciones:

Recuerden que en ingles siempre deben poner el Sujeto. En una oracin


positiva o negativa debern seguir la formula (SUBJECT + VERB +
COMPLEMENT) en donde el complemento es opcional.
Ejemplo:
Es bonita
Is pretty (INCORRECTO) > No hay sujeto y en el ingls es necesario
She is pretty (Correcto)

No se enamoren del verbo to be. Solo quiere decir ser o estar. Algunos
creen que siempre lo deben poner pero depende de que accin haga el sujeto.
Ejemplo
Juega futbol.
He is play futbol (ERROR) > el sujeto no hace 2 acciones a la vez.
He plays football (CORRECTO)
Es decir, el sujeto puede hacer distintas acciones y el verbo to be solo es para
expresar acciones de ser o estar. En otras lecciones aprenderemos como hacer
oraciones con otros verbos
