  Verbs can be either main verbs or auxiliary verbs. Main verbs tell what action is being performed in a sentence. Auxiliary verbs are used in combination with main verbs. They perform two major functions: 1. Auxiliary verbs indicate shades of meaning that cannot be expressed by a main verb alone. 2. Auxiliary verbs also show tense—the time at which the action of the verb takes place. Do you know the position that auxiliary verbs have in a sentence? They always come before the main verb, although sometimes another word, such as an adverb, may come between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.

  • Los verbos auxiliares cumplen tres funciones principales
  • Los verbos principales dicen qué acción está en proceso
  • Un adverbio puede estar entre el verbo principal y el sujeto

  One of the most common causes of errors in identifying the subject of a sentence is confusing it with a noun used as the object of a preposition. This kind of error can also lead to mistakes in subject–verb agreement. To avoid making this type of mistake or confusion, you first must learn to recognize prepositions and prepositional phrases. Prepositions are the short words in our language that show the position or relationship between one word and another.

  • Sujeto y objeto de una preposición, no se pueden confundir
  • En la oración, es común confundir el sujeto con un objeto
  • Para evitar confusión, hay que saber conjugar los verbos
  • Las preposiciones son palabras que separan las oraciones

  Dear Annie,
  
  How are you today? Last time we were in contact, you were studying for your University’s final exam. How did you do? I hope you passed the exam. About me? I broke up with my boyfriend. He decided to study medicine in another city, and wanted a distant relationship. I totally disagreed, of course. However, we are still in touch via email. He’s a very nice guy.Best wishes, Paula.
