Ppt con diapositivas para aprender a diferenciar adjetivos de verbos en gerundio

1. Las palabras en inglés que terminan en ing son muy comunes, y es que podemos estar ante un verbo o ante un adjetivo. Por ejemplo,  «interesting», «dancing», «exciting»… En inglés hay dos formas principales de hacer un adjetivo: con el sufijo -ed o con el sufijo -ing y cada uno de ellos otorga un significado distinto, tanto a la palabra como a la frase completa. Ejemplo: interested / interesting Claire is surprised at the news – Claire está sorprendida con la noticia Claire is a surprising person – Claire es una persona sorprendente El sufijo – ed nos revela el estado de una situación temporal; en cambio, el sufijo – ing lo hace de una característica, convirtiéndose en una palabra descriptiva acerca de cómo es una persona o hecho.

5. Down the Rabbit-Hole Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading , but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

6. The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice. "Who are you?" said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, "I hardly know, Sir, just at present, at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then." Chapter V

7. This morning, me and my Aunt were having a very interesting conversation. We were talking about popular conspirations of all times, such as UFO’s, the island of Friendship, The Bermuda Triangle and, for me the most captivating one, the Moon Landing. She believes that there are many mysterious phenomena that occur almost every day without anyone notices. She told me that she knew a man who traveled to the island of Friendship, and he cured himself from cancer. He said that the memories were confusing. He remembers he was travelling in a big ship, then he saw many people standing in line and that he was laying down in a doctor’s bed. It was an entertaining conversation. I really like to know about these topics. Knowing new things has always fascinating me. I think that conspirations encourage us to experience surprise again, as when we were children. I think these stories are very inspiring and shocking at the same time. Exercise
