PRESENT HABITS

Seguro que te acuerdas de que uno de los usos del continuous aspect, que vimos en la unidad 1, es para expresar molestias, ya sea en el presente o en el pasado. Y lo utilizamos con adverbios como: always, constantly, forever… para describir esas acciones. Por ejemplo: I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES. MY MOM IS ALWAYS TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!

PRESENT HABITS

The continuous aspect, también lo utilizamos con diferentes frases y verbos. Por ejemplo: KEEP (S) + ING Fíjate en las frases: MY FLATMATE KEEPS BOSSING ME AROUND LIKE HE’S MY DAD! I CAN’T STAND HIM!

Practice Venga, prueba a ver cómo queda la siguiente oración: I keep _____ (make) the same mistake.

PRESENT HABITS

Esta frase también la podemos formular utilizando: WILL KEEP + ING Mira los ejemplos: SHE WILL KEEP TEXTING ME UNTIL I REPLY Vamos a practicarlo también.

Practice Completa la siguiente oración: Emma _____ (forget) to call me regardless of how many times i ask her to do so

PRESENT HABITS

La forma más común para expresar hábitos es utilizando: WILL + INFINITIVE Como en los siguientes ejemplos: BEN WILL WALK HIS DOG UP TO FIVE TIMES A DAY

Practice Vamos a ver cómo queda la siguiente oración: June gets so excited about that movie that she _____ (will) tell you all about it before the opening scene is over!

PRESENT HABITS

KEEP ON + ING Lo utilizamos para expresar acciones que se repiten frecuentemente. Por ejemplo: WHAT’S HIS NAME AGAIN? I KEEP (ON) FORGETTING IT. ¡Vamos a practicarlo!

Practice Completa la siguiente frase: If you keep on _____ (purchase) expensive things, you will run out of money.

PRESENT HABITS

Además, podemos utilizar: "TEND TO" o "HAVE A TENDENCY TO" + INFINITIVE Para describir acciones o estados típicos, que se hacen con normalidad. Por ejemplo: I TEND TO BUY ONE NEW BOOK EVERY WEEK Venga, ¡te toca!

Fíjate en la oración, a ver cómo quedaría: Ben tends to _____ (keep) busy during the week.

PAST HABITS

WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I USED TO LOVE READING. I WOULD BUY AT LEAST ONE NEW BOOK PER WEEK. I KEPT DOING THAT UNTIL I WAS GIVEN KINDLE FOR ONE OF MY BIRTHDAYS. FROM THEN ON, I WAS ONLY PURCHASING BOOKS ONLINE.

PAST HABITS

Al igual que 'USED TO': WOULD + INFINITIVE Fíjate: JAKE WOULD DO HIS HOMEWORK REGULARLY. Recuerda que ‘would’ se utiliza con verbos de acción. Tanto will como would se usan para describir hábitos y no estados. En cambio, used to, se puede usar con verbos de acción y de estado. Mira los siguientes ejemplos: BEN WOULD GET UPSET EASILY. I WOULD GO JOGGING EVERY OTHER DAY AS A TEEN.

PAST HABITS

Por otro lado, también podemos utilizar el verbo "keep", kept en pasado, seguido de un verbo en –ing cuando vamos a describir hábitos. KEPT + ING Por ejemplo: JANE KEPT TRYING TO BOOK HER FLIGHT FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK.

PAST HABITS

El pasado continuo es otra forma que podemos utilizar para expresar hábitos pasados. Se suele utilizar el pasado continuo cuando queremos expresar cierto grado de molestia. Por ejemplo: MIKE WAS CONSTANTLY ASKING SILLY QUESTIONS.
