Compound Nouns ¿Qué es exactamenete eso de compound nouns?

A ver: siempre nos han dicho que la forma de describir a un sustantivo es a través del uso de adjetivos. Por ejemplo,

decimos a black cat, a wild animal, an expensive watch, etc.

Pues bien, los compound nouns son mucho más comunes de lo que pensamos, y pueden incluso cambiar el sentido de la

frase. No es lo mismo decir a historic teacher (un profesor famoso) que a history teacher (un profesor de historia).

Características de los Compound Nouns o Sustantivos Compuestos

1. Siempre van delante del sustantivo:

• Orange juice (jugo de naranja)

• Love story (historia de amor)

2. Siempre van en singular.

• Incorrecto: Oranges juice.

• Correcto: Orange juices.

3. No solo se puede utilizar un sustantivo como adjetivo sino dos, tres, cuatro…

• College soccer team coach (Entrenador del equipo de fútbol de la universidad)

¿Cómo se Forman los Compound Nouns en el Inglés? Conoce sus Usos

1. Como ya hemos mencionado anteriormente, podemos usar un sustantivo delante de otro para darle valor adjetival.

• The military service (el servicio militar), an adult group (un grupo de adultos), economy class (clase económica), etc.

2. También podemos unir dos palabras (sustantivo+ adjetivo, adjetivo + sustantivo o sustantivo + participio)

por medio de un guión y juntos pueden formar un adjetivo.

Por ejemplo:

o Sugar-free apple juice (Jugo de manzana sin azúcar).

o Long-distance relationship. (Relación a distancia).

3. Los compound nouns son incluso considerados sustantivos compuestos pues el adjetivo y el sustantivo

forman una sola palabra:

o Businessman (hombre de negocios).

o Heartbreaker (rompecorazones)

¿Puedo usar un adjetivo para calificar a un compound nouns?

¡La respuesta es sí! Es posible anteponer adjetivos a un adjetivo sustantivado que modifique a su vez a un sustantivo.

Veamos:

• A delicious home-made cake.

(Una torta casera deliciosa)

A compound nouns is made up of two or more words use together as a single noun.

Example:

Compound Nouns

Types of Compound Nouns 1. Open

Compound nouns have a space between the words but whe the are read together they form a new meaning.

Example:

• Police officer • Full moon • Ice cream

2. Hyphenated These compound nouns connect two or more words with one or more hyphens (-)between them. Example:

• Six-pack

• five-year-old

• son-in-law.

3. Closed or solid These do not

have space or

hyphen between

words.

Example:

• Bedroom

• notebook

• Superman

Verbs

Los verbos son palabras que indican acciones, existencia (ser/estar), posesión (tener) o ánimo.

En inglés, usamos la preposición “to” para formar el infinitivo, por ejemplo: “to talk” (hablar), “to eat” (comer), “to

change” (cambiar), etc.

Los verbos son la parte de la oración más complicada. Hay muchos tipos de verbos. El verbo puede indicar la

acción principal (el verbo principal). Un verbo auxiliar añade detalle a la acción o ayuda el verbo principal (también

se llaman “verbos complementarios”). Los verbos modales añaden modalidad (posibilidad, capacidad, permiso,

prohibición, obligación, etc.). Los verbos transitivos conectan un sujeto con un objeto. Otros verbos sólo necesitan

un sujeto (verbos intransitivos). Hay verbos que están compuestos de más de una palabra (verbos preposicionales y

verbos frasales). Los verbos pueden ser activos o pasivos.

Actions Verbs Example

Action verbs, also called dynamic verbs, express an action whether it be physical or mental.

An action verb explains what the subject of the sentence is doing or has done.

Action verbs can be in different tenses, present, past, or future.

They can also use as an auxiliary.

Look for the local tourist information center

In many cities around the world, even in the small ones, you can find a tourist information center.

Usually, they are at the airport, bus or train station, or ports. Depending on how you arrive, take a look

at these four places. If you can’t find one there, often there is one in the city center or near the most

touristy areas such as parks, the main church or main square, the most popular beach, and so on. Once

you find the tourist information center, here are the most important things you should do:

• Ask for a map in order to help you move around;

• Ask them to show you where your accommodation is on the map so you know how to get

back home;

• Ask them to show you where the main local attractions are as well advice for what you

shouldn’t miss;

• Ask about the hours are for the attractions. For example, some museums close on Mondays

and some other touristic attractions are only open on weekends. This kind of information is

really important in order to set your daily itinerary;

• Find out how much activities cost to avoid spending money on transportation to get there

only to give up because you find out the attraction is too expensive;

• How do I get those points with public transportation? Where to take them? How much? Can

I pay on the bus or need to have some special pass? Hours of operation?

• Ask if there are any activities or sightseeing on the outskirts of town which are worth a day

trip.
