Vocabulary lesson / leccioacute;n 2: In this class we will talk about the weather and how to describe it. We will learn how to use the question: "What is the weather like?"
Vocabulary Weather
Before we start it is important to study what question we use to ask for any type of description in English. In this case we would refer to the weather but this question is used to ask about any type of description.The question is the following:
What is the weather like?
What --#62; Question word ; Is --#62; verb (to be) ; the weather --#62; Subject  ; like --#62; preposition
Note: Like is also a verb (gustar) but for descriptions it is a preposition (como)Entonces entendemos que esta pregunta: "What is the weather like?" no tiene nada que ver con el verbo gustar. Esta pregunta se usa para preguntar sobre la descripcioacute;n de algo (en esta leccioacute;n, el clima) La pregunta se entiende como: iquest;Coacute;mo esta el clima? Es confuso puesto que como es how tambien en ingles pero como siempre digo, UNO TIENE QUE APRENDERSE LAS ESTRUCTURAS EN INGLES.
Es decir, like significa gustar (verbo) y tambieacute;n como (de comparacioacute;n).
Ejemplo: (de like -#62; como y no gustar)Jorge is like his father.
Jorge es como su papa.Remember that the subject "the weather" changes depending on what you want to ask for to be describedExamples:
What is Sonia like? --- What is Fabiola like? ---- What are they like? ---- What are you like?Table #1: Tipos de climas (NOUNS/ SUSTANTIVOS)Table # 2 (nouns and adjectives that describe the weather)Nouns

Some examples:What's the weather like in Alaska? ----#62; It's freezing and snowy.
What's the weather like in Nigeria? ----#62; It's very hot. It is boiling!
What's the weather like in your city? ---#62; It's rainy and foggy.Homework* FIGURAS Y EJERCICIOS DE GRAMMAR IN USEnbsp; (Cambridge) Grammar practice (LONGMAN)</itunes:summary> <itunes:keywords>Curso,Basico,/,Ingleacute;s,Elemental,,Vocabulary,/,Vocabulario</itunes:keywords> <itunes:author>Carlos</itunes:author> <itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit> <itunes:block>No</itunes:block> </item> <item><title>There is and there are, to describe that something or someone exists (Lesson/lección-6)</title><link>http://www.inglestotal.com/there-is-and-there-are-to-describe-that-something-or-someone-exists-lessonleccion-6/</link> <comments>http://www.inglestotal.com/there-is-and-there-are-to-describe-that-something-or-someone-exists-lessonleccion-6/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:20:44 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>InglesTotal</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Curso Basico / Inglés Elemental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Grammar]]></category> <category><![CDATA[present simple]]></category> <category><![CDATA[There is]]></category> <category><![CDATA[to be]]></category><guid

(Vamos a hablar del verbo haber en el presente indicativo)Structure and Use (there is/are)There are and there is are forms used to express "existence of". The structure is:
There + verb to be (is for SINGULAR nouns ; are for PLURAL nouns)Examples:
- There is a guitar in my room. (A guitar "exists" in my room)
- There are two chairs in my room. (Two chairs "exist" in my room)The following chart is the forms of "there is/are" in positive (+), negative (-), and questions (?)SingularPlural(+) There is a {chair, book, man}
There are 			[some] {chairs, books, men}(-) There isn't a {laptop, bathroom}
There aren't [any] {laptops, bathrooms}(?) Is there a {problem, shirt}
Are there [any] {problems, shirts}NOTES:This table is only for COUNTABLE NOUNS. In the future we will talk about uncountable nouns. For this level when you use "there is" use the article "a". In the plural "there are" you can use "some" for  positive and "any" for negative and questions (some/any) is optional.
Nota: Estas reglas son para los sustantivos contables (aquellos que se pueden contar o poner en singular y plural). Por ejemplo "chair" es contable porque uno puede decir "chairs". Un ejemplo de no contable es "water" o "rice".Some more examples:FIGURA # 1Problems with "there is/are"- Be careful when you translate from Spanish into English. Remember, follow the Structure in English.
Problemas con "there is/are"Esta es una de las primeras veces en que vemos que tenemos que tener cuidado en traducir ya que las estructuras del Espantilde;ol u otro idioma pueden ser distintas. En este caso SIGUAN LA ESTRUCTURA DE INGLES.Un ejemplo:Como se dice: iquest;Hay alguacute;n restaurante cerca de aquiacute;?ERROR: Is there any restaurant near here?Es un error pues restaurant es singular pero any va con plural.Correct:-Is there a restaurant near here?- Are there any restaurants near here?El problema es que ustedes quieren decir alguacute;n pero en ingles alguacute;n o algunos es "some/any" pero se usa solo en PLURAL. Asiacute; que por favor cuando traduzcan haacute;ganlo pero siempre teniendo en cuenta la estructura correcta. ESTO ES, EMPECEMOS A PENSAR EN INGLES. No es necesario traducir aunque es inevitable pero es un paso que se da despueacute;s de saber y respetar las estructuras de el Ingles.
Exercise/ Ejercicios de "there is y there are"Completar: Recuerden "There is (a) -#62; singular, There are -#62; Plural (se puede usar some/any)Observaciones:Respuestas cortasIs there a TV in your room?
(+) Yes, there is .(-) No, there isn't.Are there (any) books?
(+) Yes, there are. (-) No, there aren't.There tambieacute;n es usado para decir "alliacute;".Ejemplo : My brother is (over) there. (Mi hermano esta alliacute;) - Over es opcional. En este post solo estamos estudiando el there + to be pero recuerden que tiene otros significados.
