Vocabulary and "Used to"

2012-01-19T23:02:00.000-05:00

Hola, queridos estudiantes:

Alguno de ustedes me envió un correo con unas preguntas sobre el vocabulario y cómo usar "used to." Abajo les pego mi respuesta por si les resulta útil.

"En todo lo que se refiere a vocabulario (por ejemplo: appearance, soap opera, y el vocabulario del Reader), debes comprar un diccionario bilingüe que siempre tengas a mano, o hacer una búsqueda en Internet. Aqui hay unos sitios que puedes usar:

http://www.wordreference.com/

http://translate.google.com/

http://www.spanishdict.com/

Con respecto a tu pregunta sobre "used to", se usa como la palabra "solía" para hablar de cosas del pasado que ya no siguen iguales:

Solía fumar, pero ya no.

I used to smoke, but now I don't.

No solía comer cerezas, pero hoy en día me encantan.

I didn't use to eat cherries, but these days I love them."

Hasta el lunes :)

Two Truths and a Lie

Instructions:

On a piece of paper, write down two things that are true about yourself, and one thing that is a lie.

Example:

1. I got married in Germany.

2. One time, I broke my wrist when I fell out of a tree.

3. In New York, somebody broke into my apartment and stole my computer.

We will take turns saying what we think is the lie and why.

Example: I think that number 3 is the lie, because New York is a very safe city.
