  Dear sister,

  This weekend I'm going to look for a new apartment to rent. I'm optimistic that I can find a cheap one. I don’t have to find it soon. However, I would like to find it before the end of summer. I would also like to find an apartment that has a parking garage. I also need an apartment that accepts pets. I don't want to give away my cat. Many landlords don't mind if their tenants have small pets.

  • Muchos dueños de apartamentos no aceptan gatos
  • La persona necesita un tipo particular de apartamento

  • La persona tiene que dar sus tres gatos en adopción

  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
  • Los verbos auxiliares jamás van antes del verbo principal
  • Un adverbio puede estar entre el verbo principal y el sujeto
