📝 Entiende las relative clauses
1. Identificar la relación entre el pronombre relativo y el sustantivo al que se refiere: Antes de crear una relative clause, es importante identificar la relación entre el pronombre relativo (como who, which, that) y el sustantivo al que hace referencia. Esto nos ayuda a decidir qué pronombre relativo usar y cómo estructurar la frase.
2. Practicar con ejemplos simples: Inicialmente, es útil practicar la creación de relative clauses con ejemplos simples y conocidos. Por ejemplo, «The dog (that) is barking is mine» (El perro que está ladrando es mío). Aquí, el pronombre relativo «that» se refiere a «dog». Esta práctica ayuda a familiarizarse con la estructura y a ganar confianza en su uso.
3. Leer y escuchar en inglés para identificar las relative clauses: Una forma efectiva de aprender las relative clauses es exponerse a diferentes ejemplos en contexto. Leer libros, artículos o escuchar canciones en inglés puede ayudar a identificar fácilmente las relative clauses. Observar cómo se usan en diferentes situaciones y contextos puede mejorar la comprensión y la capacidad para crearlas con confianza.
