[ 13 ]
Observemos algunos ejemplos de oraciones afirmativas, negativas y preguntas:
EJEMPLOS:
Oraciones afirmativas o positivas:
I was talking. (Estaba hablando.)
He was eating. (Estaba comiendo.)
They were learning. (Estaban aprendiendo.)
Oraciones Negativas: La forma negativa se construye colocando la partícula NOT después del verbo TO
BE. Puede usarse también la forma contraída WASN’T o WEREN’T.
I was not [wasn’t] talking. (No estaba hablando.)
He was not [wasn’t] eating. (No estaba comiendo.)
They were not [weren’t] learning. (No estaban aprendiendo.)
Forma de preguntas:
Were you talking? (¿Estabas hablando?)
Was he eating? (¿Estaba comiendo?)
Were they learning? (¿Estaban aprendiendo?)
En qué se diferencia el Pasado Simple del Pasado Progresivo? El pasado simple se
utiliza para mencionar lo que ya finalizó y el Pasado Continuo para relatar lo que siguió ejecutando en el pasado.
EJEMPLOS:
When I left, he was studying the lesson.
Cuando yo partí, el estaba estudiando la lección.
[ 14 ]
They were singing when I broke the window.
Ellos estaban cantando cuando yo rompí la ventana.
[ Inglés III - B1 ]
Para la forma del verbo con la terminación –ing es importante tener en
cuenta las siguientes situaciones:
1. Start = starting
2. Study= studying (cualquier verbo que termine en –y se deja la -y y se agrega -ing)
3. Live = living (si el verbo termina en –e se elimina la -e y agregamos
–ing)
4. Run= Running (si el verbo monosílabo termina en consonante +
vocal +consonante se duplica la última consonante y agregamos
–ing)
Ahora practiquemos con algunos ejercicios!

Suddenly we heard a strange noise! There was a round, yellow object in the sky! It was a spaceship! • Presenter: Wow! What happened next?
• Patricia: The spaceship landed only 100 metres from us and an alien got out! It had a red body and
a yellow head. There was a strange yellow light everywhere. It was amazing! Michael was
looking for his camera when the alien just disappeared!
• Presenter: Oh no! Patricia . We couldn’t believe it!

Sesión 2
Topics:
• Pasado Continuo o Progresivo vs Pasado Simple
• El uso de when / while
Introducción:
En esta sesión realizaremos un contraste entre la estructura del tiempo pasado simple y la forma del pasado
continuo o progresivo. Iniciaremos revisando el uso del “when” y “while” para poder analizar el contraste entre
estos dos tiempos verbales del pasado.
WHILE en el tiempo pasado continuo significa “mientras” y se usa para indicar que “mientras” se hacía una
acción, otra persona estaba realizando otra a la vez.
Ejemplos:
I was taking a shower while my mom prepared the dinner
Me estaba dando una ducha mientras mi mamá preparaba la comida
While I was walking, I found a wallet on the floor
Mientras estaba caminando, encontré una billetera en el piso
WHEN en el tiempo pasado continuo significa “cuando” y se usa cuando una acción se vio interrumpida por
otra.
Ejemplos:
I was watching TV when the phone rang
Estaba viendo televisión cuando el teléfono sonó
When Alfred arrived, I was doing my homework
Cuando Alfredo llegó, yo estaba hacienda mi tarea
