Los Sinónimos

Los sinónimos

son palabras cuyos contenidos conceptuales coinciden pero no en las formas de los lexemas que las conforman. Por ejemplo: hermosa y preciosa.                                                                                                   La lengua da la posibilidad de seleccionar entre numerosas palabras, el vocablo sinónimo deseado, de tal suerte que no se repitan muchas veces las mismas voces en un párrafo.

Los antónimos son palabras que tienen significado opuesto. Por ejemplo lo blanco tiene como opuesto a lo negro.

De la misma forma como con el uso de los sinónimos, se debe poner atención en el contexto. Con los antónimos también se debe analizar la acepción de la palabra a sustituir por otra de significado contrario.

Ejemplos de sinónimos:

balón – pelota

coche - automóvil

colegio - escuela

gritar / vociferar

cueva / gruta

Ejemplos de antónimos:

alto – bajo

lejos - cerca

arriba – abajo

reír / llorar

subir / bajar

VERB TO BE

VERB TO BE 


The verb "to be" is the most important verb in English and at the same time, the most complicated. It is used both as a main verb and as an auxiliary verb and is irregular in the present and past.

 1. Use "to be" as the main verb to show the status or characteristics of someone or something (such as a state verb). It can also be used with place prepositions to indicate where something is located.

2. "To be" is used as an auxiliary verb to form the present continuous and passive voice to be introduced in later lessons. For more information on auxiliary verbs, see the verbs lesson.

3. To show that something exists, we combine "is" or "are" with the word "there". See Be There's lesson for more information.

   4. "To be", like many other verbs, can be used with a prepositional phrase. See the lesson of prepositional verbs and phrasal verbs.

The Adjective

The  Adjective

It is a part of the sentence or kind of word that complements a noun to qualify it; expresses characteristics or properties attributed to a noun, whether concrete (perceptible by the senses, as in the green book or the big book) or abstract (cognizable by the mind, as in the difficult book).

These adjectives accompany the noun (book, book) and fulfill the function of specifying or highlighting some of its characteristics.In traditional grammar one used to distinguish between adjectives and determinative adjectives; however currently for the latter is usually used the word determinant while the word adjective is reserved for adjectives qualifying.The adjective is a variable word that expresses the gender and number by the effect of the concordance with the noun to which it accompanies, although there are adjectives that do not mark the difference in the gender, such as happy, and can refer to the time to masculine nouns or female, such as A happy man and A happy woman.
