Curso de inglés- STILL vs YET - Leccion 128

Yet se usa con el Present Perfect, mientras que still se usa con el Present Perfect o con el Present (Simple o Continuous), dependiendo de su significado.

Still se usa con el Present para decir que una acción o situación sigue ocurriendo. Para decir lo mismo en español, usamos la frase «seguir haciendo algo» o bien usamos «todavía». Ejemplos:


I am still studying at school. = Sigo estudiando en el Instituto. Todavía estoy estudiando en el Instituto.
She is still in love with Juan. = Sigue enamorada de Juan. Todavía está enamorada de Juan.
STILL se usa también para decir que algo todavía no ha ocurrido y por eso tiene el mismo significado que YET. Pero se colocan en distintos sitios dentro de la oración. En español se dice de la misma forma: Todavía no he visitado Londres / No he visitado Londres todavía.
STILL se coloca delante del auxiliar: I still haven't visited London.
YET se coloca al final de la oración: I haven't visited London yet.



STILL

We use "still" for something going on longer than expected. The situation has not stopped.
It is five o'clock in the morning and Paul is still working

Do you still want to go on holiday?

1.- If the verb has one part (e.g. says, does, fell, etc.), the adverb "still" usually goes before the verb.

I still watch 'Neighbours'

They still go to school

2.- If the verb has two or more parts (e.g. am running, were watching, etc.) the adverb "still" goes after the first verb.

I am still eating my dinner

We are still going to the cinema tonight

3.-If the sentence is negative, "still" goes before the negative.

I gave up smoking, but my friends still haven't given up
4.- If you want to express surprise, "still" can go after the negative.

You don't still like him, do you?
Yet

We use "yet" to express "until now".

We use "yet" for something that is expected.

Have you replied to the letter yet?

1.- We normally use "yet" with the present perfect.

I haven't eaten my breakfast yet

Have you been to London yet?

2.- "Yet" goes at the end of a question or a negative statement.

I haven't washed my car yet

Have you seen your Mum yet?

3.- We can use "yet" in the middle of a sentence, this is a little formal.

Ahora ve el  vídeo  arriba clip con suma atención. Repite las preguntas asegurándote que le pongas el énfasis y la emoción al hablar igual o mas exagerado de lo que escuchas.


El idioma Ingles especialmente el Ingles Americano es un idioma que se tiene que interpretar el contexto, ya que a veces nada tiene que ver el significada de cada palabra sino el conjunto de palabras o frases. A eso se le agrega el ingrediente de la emoción, y si tenemos al parlante enfrente los gestos y expresiones corporales.


Para nosotros nos puede parecer "exagerado" el hecho de expresar tanta emoción al hablar debido a que el español es mucho mas especifico. Recordemos que el idioma Ingles es mas "primitivo", por lo que razonarlo como razonamos el español es un error. 


Para razonar el Ingles debemos simplificarlo. Recuerda como hablabas cuando tenia 4 años? Esa es la estructura básica del idioma que vas a usar. Ahora conviértela al idioma Ingles agrégale emoción y expresiones corporales y tu comunicación sera mas efectiva.




Bueno este videoclip tiene el propósito de que practiques la diferencia entre la entonación de preguntas afirmativas y negativas y las que indagan información adicional comúnmente llamadas WH-questions. Practica repitiendo y no se te olvide exagerar.

Ahora ve este video con mucha atencion! 

Al ver este videoclip repite las preguntas y respuestas.

Observa:  What are they doing? No se dice como en español palabra por palabra pronunciada correctamente. La pregunta es fluida y se divide en 2 partes como si fueran 2 palabras.

Por lo que, "what are they doing?" se pronuncia  " juarar deyduing?"

What are they doing?---juarar deyduing?

What is she doing?-----juaris sheduing?

What is he doing?------juaris jiduing?

What are we doing?---juarar widuing?

What are you doing?--juarar iuduing?

What am I doing?-----juaram aiduing?

Observa: Las respuestas contienen la forma contraida del pronombre + el verbo BE.

They're= they are    They're se pronuncia ( DEY + pequeñisima pausa + el sonido de la R unicamente)

She's = she is          She's se pronuncia  (shiis) alargando la i.

He's = he is             He's se pronuncia   (jiis)  alargando la i.

You're = You are    You're se pronuncia  (iurrr) alargando el sonido de la r suave.

Nota: Your se pronuncia (iorr) con (o) no con (u). Asi que son diferentes las pronunciaciones.

YOUR con O----iorr   y YOU'RE  con U-----iurr

Ahora ve el videoclip nuevamente y repite con el video pronunciando correctamente.

We're = We are       We're se pronuncia  ( uirr) alargando el sonido de la r suave.
