Las contracciones en ingles

Una contracci?n es una palabra o frase que ha sido ha reducida al eliminar una o m?s letras. En la escritura, el ap?strofe toma el lugar de las letras que faltan.

Las contracciones en ingl?s se usan en el lenguaje informal (en el oral m?s que en el escrito), aunque, en un contexto coloquial, puedes usar contracciones para escribir. Si est?s escribiendo un ensayo acad?mico, evita las contracciones a toda costa.

A continuaci?n te pongo unas tablas de las contracciones en ingl?s m?s comunes y su pronunciaci?n...que a veces es bastante confusa para los que no hablamos ingl?s como lengua materna.

Veremos las contracciones de:

1. Verbo TO BE 2. Verbo TO HAVE y el verbo TO DO 3. Algunos verbos modales 4. Los Modales perfectos 5. Algunas Wh-Words (pronombres interrogativos)

Pues vamos con las tablas:

Contraction I'm He's She's It's We're You're They're Isn't Aren't Wasn't Weren't

Notas

No confundas you're con your, suenan igual, pero uno es la segunda persona + el verbo to be y el otro es el pronombre posesivo de segunda persona.

No confundas Who's con whose. Tambi?n suenan igual /huz/, pero whose significa "de qui?n" o "cuyo".

F?jate que la contracci?n de ambas formas he is y he has es la misma: he's. Las distinguir?s por la palabra que vaya inmediatamente despu?s. Por ejemplo:

1. He's handsome (He is) 2. He's kissing me (He is)-->Gerundio 3. He's gone out (He has)-->Participio (Presente perfecto)

Lo mismo pasa con he had vs he would, comparten la misma contracci?n He'd. Se distinguir?n por el contexto de la frase.

I am not no tiene forma contra?da, no puedes decir Amn't, no existe, por eso, para la primera persona del singular en negativo se usa Aren't. ?Recuerdas que lo vimos cuando estudiamos las Question tags?--> I am fat, aren't I?

La forma informal de decir aren't es ain't, pero ?sta solo se utiliza en speaking en contextos informales. Ain't sol?a ser solo la forma coloquial (o vulgar) de aren't, pero hoy en d?a, puede servir para contraer casi cualquier negaci?n...en el Urban Dictionary de lo explican de co?a ;-)
