"Present" versus "Present continuous"

Ambos verbos se utilizan para describir acciones presentes, si bien con diferentes
matices.
a) Present continuous
a.1) Describe acciones que estn ocurriendo en ese preciso momento.
I am reading the newspaper (lo estoy leyendo ahora)
a.2) Tambin puede describir acciones que ocurren alrededor del momento actual,
aunque no precisamente ahora.
I am planning a trip to Egypt for this summer (por ejemplo, le estoy contando a un
amigo que estoy planeando un viaje; no es que lo est planeando en ese preciso
momento)
b) Present simple
b.1) Describe acciones habituales, actuales, generales, que no tienen porqu estar
ocurriendo en ese preciso momento.
I work in a bank
I speak English very fluently
In Madrid people drive very fast
b.2) Describe tambin acciones que se repiten peridicamente, acciones rutinarias.
Every morning I have a meeting with my boss at 8 o'clock
I play tennis every Sunday

"Present continuous" versus "Future"

Present Continuous: Describe una accin que va a tener lugar en un futuro ms o
menos inmediato, pero que la decisin de realizarla fue tomada en el pasado.
Next Monday I am flying to Paris (La decisin de volar a Pars no la he tomado justo en
este momento sino que ya lo haba decidido con anterioridad)

Con un sentido similar se podra utilizar la expresin "going to...".

Next Monday I am going to fly to Paris
No obstante entre el "present continuous" y "going to..." hay algunas diferencias:
a) El "present continuous" se prefiere en aquellas acciones que han sido ya
programadas del tipo, reuniones, viajes, fiestas, etc, en las que hay que poner de
acuerdo a otras personas.
b) La expresin "going to..." se utiliza principalmente cuando se quiere resaltar la
voluntad del emisor. Este est plenamente decidido a realizar esa accin por lo que hay
muchas probabilidades de que se lleve a cabo. Posiblemente el emisor haya realizado
ya alguna actuacin encaminada a ejecutar la accin.
This evening I am going to the see the football match. (ya he comprado las entradas)
c) Tambin la expresin "going to" se utiliza para describir acciones que van a suceder
en un futuro inmediato ya que hay indicios que apuntan a ello:
The sky is very dark; it is going to rain
d) Mientras que con el "present continuous" siempre hay que mencionar el
momento en el que se va a desarrollar la accin, con la expresin "going to..." cabe a
veces omitir toda referencia temporal (se entiende que va a tener lugar en un futuro
inmediato pero no se precisa cuando).
2.- Future
El "future" describe acciones futuras, si bien no tienen por que ser tan inmediatas
como con el "present continuous" o con "going to...".
Tambin se utiliza para describir acciones futuras que han sido decididas sobre la
marcha, en el momento actual.
Oh, it is very late, I will go back home
It is very cold, I will close the window
O acciones futuras que el emisor considera que van a tener lugar pero que no
dependen de su voluntad.
When will you buy a new car?

I am sure your brother will win the race

The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be exciting
Muchas veces va introducido por expresiones del tipo:
I am sure / I supposse / Perhaps / Probably / Surely / Possibly...

"Past simple" versus "Past continuous"

1.- Past simple
El "past simple" describe una accin pasada ya finalizada.
When I was young I lived in Madrid (ahora vivo en Barcelona)
2.- Past continuous
Indica que una accin se estaba desarrollando en cierto momento del pasado al cual
se hace referencia. No dice si la accin ya finaliz o todava continuaba.
When the mother came home her husband was playing with the kids (no sabemos si
termin de jugar en ese momento o continu jugando)
A veces se describen dos acciones simultneas que tuvieron lugar en el pasado. En
dicho caso, se utiliza el "past imple" para describir aquella que finaliz y el "past
continuous" para aquella otra que estaba ocurriendo cuando la primera tuvo
lugar.
Yesterday evening when you called me I was having a shower
When the parents arrived home the children were watching TV
Otra diferencia entre ambos tiempos es que el "past continuous" se utiliza a veces para
indicar que la accin es ms casual, menos planificada.
Yesterday morning, from 8 to 10, I was running (algo rutinario, que suelo hacer con
frecuencia, por lo que no lo resalto)
Yesterday morning, from 8 to 10, I ran (algo diferente, un tanto extraordinario, por lo
que quiero destacarlo)

"Past simple" vs "Present perfect"

Ambos tiempos describen acciones que tuvieron lugar en el pasado, si bien presentan
ciertas diferencias:
a) Past Simple

- Accin que se desarroll y finaliz en el pasado, sin que se de ninguna informacin

sobre cual ha sido su repercusin en el tiempo presente.
When I was young I played tennis (no nos da ninguna infomacin sobre si en la
actualidad sigo jugando al tenis o no)

- Accin que se desarroll y complet en un periodo de tiempo ya finalizado.

This morning I had a very tense meeting with my boss (ya es por la tarde, la maana ha
finalizado)
Yesterday I went to the cinema with my friends
b) Presente Perfect
- Accin que se inici en el pasado y que an contina desarrollndose.
I have worked in this bank for ten years (todava contino en el banco)
- Accin que acaba de finalizar.
I have missed my train (lo acabo de perder)
- Accin que se ha desarrollado en un periodo de tiempo que an no ha terminado.
This morning I has had a very tense meeting with my boss (an es por la maana)
Today I have visited my parents (el da todava no ha finalizado)
- Accin desarrollada en el pasado pero cuya repercusin an se manifiesta en el tiempo
presente.
My brother has broken his glasses (las gafas se han roto recientemente y siguen rotas)
Comparar con la siguiente oracin:
My brother broke his glasses (no sabemos si las gafas ya estn arregladas o no)
Para terminar, sealar que en ocasiones las diferencias entre estos dos tiempos no son
muy ntidas, y de hecho en algunos casos cabra utilizar cualquiera de ellos.

"Past simple" vs "Past perfect"

Ambos tiempos describen acciones finalizadas en el pasado, si bien con algunas
diferencias.
a) Past Simple

Accin finalizada en el pasado; no se hace referencia a ninguna conexin con el

presente.
I studied law at the university of Madrid

b) Past Perfect
Equivale al "present perfect" pero tomando como punto de referencia un momento en el
pasado.
- La accin finaliz cerca de dicho momento pasado que es mencionado en la oracin.
Did you see him when you went to his office? No, he had left
- La accin finaliz justo en dicho momento pasado o incluso continu despus.
He had lived in Paris for 10 years when he decided to buy his own flat (continu
viviendo en Pars)

Can / Could
"Can" y "could" se utilizan para expresar permiso, posibilidad o habilidad. Como
regla general "can" se utiliza en el presente y "could" en el pasado, pero hay ciertos
matices:
a) Posibilidad / habilidad
En el presente "can" y en el pasado "could" o "was / were able".
With the new motorway you can go from Madrid to Barcelona in less than 4 hours
Ten years ago you could go from Madrid to Barcelona in 6 hours

"Could" tambin se utiliza con un sentido condicional, mientras que en el futuro se

b) Permiso

En el presente distinguimos:
- Tener o pedir permiso: "can" tiene un sentido informal y "could" formal.

I could use the company's car for my private trips (formal)

condicional.

"Must" y "Have to" expresan una obligacin. A veces se pueden utilizar
indistintamente (especialmente con la primera persona donde prcticamente tienen el
mismo sentido), no obstante existen ciertas diferencias.
"Must" se utiliza con el tiempo presente y futuro
"Have to" con pasado, presente y futuro

Autoridad externa Autoridad del emisor

Pasado
Presente

"Have to": el emisor no impone ninguna obligacin, se limita a comunicar una

obligacin que existe.

deberes)
(Student) I have to do my homework (el estudiante se limita a comunicar una
obligacin que le ha sido impuesta)
"Must" tambin se puede utilizar para expresar un consejo de forma enftica.
Ver la diferencia entre:
You should stop smoking
You must stop smoking
En ambos casos no se trata de una obligacin sino de un consejo. Con "must" el
consejo es ms enftico.
Forma interrogativa
Must + sujeto + verbo principal ?
Do + sujeto + have to + verbo principal ?
Must you leave now?
Do you have to leave now?
Forma Negativa
Cuando la oracin es negativa el significado de estos dos verbos es diferente:
"Mustn't": no se debe hacer algo
"Don't have to": no es necesario hacer algo
You mustn't go to that meeting (no debes ir ya que no has sido invitado)
You don't have to go to that meeting (no es necesario que vaya; no se va a tratar nada
interesante)

Should

Se utiliza para dar consejos. Se indica que algo es bueno y por lo tanto se debera
hacer. Es una recomendacin, no una obligacin. Tiene menos fuerza impositiva que
"must" y que "have to".
If you feel bad you should go to the doctor
Tambin se utiliza para dar una orden pero de forma muy educada.
Anyone who wants to enter the conference should show his credentials (Se trata
realmente de una obligacin -es obligatorio mostrar las credenciales para entrar en la

partcula "to".
Se utiliza en pasado, presente y futuro.
I should have finished my report yesterday (pasado)
You should help me, I can not do it alone (presente)
Tomorrow you should call your parents (futuro)
El pasado se utiliza para indicar algo que se debera haber hecho y no se hizo.

Y la forma interrogativa: Should + sujeto...?
