Adjetivos Posesivos

En el idioma inglés, los adjetivos posesivos se utilizan para hacer referencia al poseedor de un determinado objeto y son usados con mucha frecuencia, más que en el idioma español. En general preceden a los sustantivos como objetos personales, partes del cuerpo, parentesco, vestimenta. Los adjetivos posesivos y su significado son los siguientes:


ADJETIVO POSESIVO
SIGNIFICADO
MY
Mío / mía / míos / mías
YOUR
Tuyo / tuya / tuyos / tuyas
HIS
Suyo / suya / suyos / suyas
(de él)
HER
Suyo / suya / suyos / suyas
(de ella)
ITS
Suyo / suya / suyos / suyas
(de animal u objeto)
OUR
Nuestro / nuestra
nuestros / nuestras
YOUR
Su / sus
(de ustedes)
THEIR
Suyo / suya / suyos / suyas
( de ellos / ellas)


Observa que la forma ITS se emplea cuando el poseedor es un animal u objeto, aunque muchas veces se hace una excepción cuando existe afecto hacia el animal, en este caso se puede utilizar HIS o HER dependiendo del género, por ejemplo:

That is its house. Aquella es su casa.
(Hace referencia a la casa del perro)

 

That is his house. Aquella es su casa.
(Hace referencia a la casa del perro si es macho)

That is her house. Aquella es su casa.
(Hace referencia a la casa de la perra)

Los adjetivos posesivos en inglés varían según el poseedor (1ª, 2ª o 3ª persona del singular o plural), pero a diferencia del español, no concuerdan en número con el objeto poseído:

This is my brother. Este es mi hermano.
This is my daughter. Esta es mi hija.
They are my brother. Ellos son mis hermanos.
They are my sisters. Ellas son mis hijas.

Aquí vemos algunos ejemplos:

I forget my books at home. Yo me olvidé mis libros en casa.
He broke his watch yesterday. Él rompió su reloj ayer.
We will sell our car. Venderemos nuestro auto.
Those are their pictures. Aquellos son sus cuadros.
She is wearing her new dress. Ella está usando su vestido nuevo.

Futuro Simple – (Simple Future)

El Futuro Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones que se van a desarrollar en el futuro sin necesidad de aclarar en que momento se producirán. Su equivalente en el idioma español es el Futuro Imperfecto. Por ejemplo:

I will study the lesson. Yo estudiaré la lección.
(No se menciona en que tiempo)

He will travel to London. Él viajará a Londres.
(No se especifica cuando)

They will buy a new car. Ellos comprarán un nuevo auto.
(No se sabe en que momento)

Aunque también se puede expresar el tiempo en el que se desarrollará la acción, por ejemplo:

Susan will visit her mother tomorrow.
Susan visitará a su madre mañana.

John will travel to New York the next month.
John viajará a Nueva York el próximo mes.

Este tiempo verbal utiliza para su construcción el auxiliar WILL seguido del verbo principal en infinitivo. En el siguiente cuadro veremos la conjugación del Futuro simple en sus formas afirmativa, interrogativa y negativa. (Utilizamos el verbo bailar – TO DANCE – a modo de ejemplo):

También se puede usar en la afirmación la contracción de WILL colocando ‘ll al pronombre y en la negación en lugar de WILL NOT se puede utilizar la forma contraída WON’T:

I will play tennis. I’ll play tennis.
We will paint the house. We’ll paint the house.

She will not buy a house. She won’t buy a house.
They will not go to the party. They won’t go to the party.
