What´s the time, please?

Guess how I love you

Transcrip

Little Nutbrown Hare who was going to bed, held on tight to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears.

He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening. 

"Guess how much I love you", he said.

"Oh, I don't think I could guess that," said Big Nutbrown Hare.

"This much," said Little Nutbrown Hare, stretching out his arms as wide as they could go.

Big Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms. "But I love you this much," he said.  Hmm, that is a lot, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.

"I love you as high as I can reach," said Little Nutbrown Hare.

"I love you as high as I can reach," said Big Nutbrown Hare.  That is quite high, though Little Nutbrown Hare.  I wish I had arms like that.

Then Little Nutbrown Hare had a good idea.  Hetumbled upside down and reached up the tree trunk with his feet.  "I love you all the way up to my toes" he said.

"And I love you all the way up to your toes." said Big Nutbrown Hare, swinging him up over his head.

"I love you as high as I can hop!" laughed Little Nutbrown Hare, bouncing up and down.

"But I love you as high as I can hop," smiled Big Nutbrown Hare - and he hopped so high that his ears touched the branches above.

That's good hopping, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.  I wish I could hop like that.

"I love you all the way down the lane as far as the river," cried Little Nutbrown Hare.

"I love you across the river and over the hills," said Big Nutbrown Hare.

That's very far, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.  He was almost too sleepy to think anymore.

Then he looked beyond the thornbushes, out into the big dark night.  Nothing could be further than the sky.

"I love you right up to the moon," he said, and closed his eyes.

"Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown Hare.  "That is very, very far."  Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves.

He leaned over and kissed him good night.

Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, "I love you right up to the moon - and back."

Conditional text

CONDICIONALES

Son oraciones compuestas por una oración subordinada que expresa la condición (conditional clause) y una principal que indica el resultado (result clause). Las hay de tres tipos:

LAS ORACIONES CONDICIONALES
Conditional clause	Result clause	Examples
ZERO CONDITIONAL
If/ Unless+ present simple	Present simple Imperative	If I am late, my parents worry.
		Search on the internet if you want to learn more about Amish.
FIRST CONDITIONAL
If/ Unless+ present simple	Futuro simple will+ base form	If I feel better later, we will go shopping together.
		We might/ may visit our relatives if we have got some time.
SECOND CONDITIONAL
If / Unless+ past simple	would + base form could	I would read more books if I had spare time.
		Jane could/might help us if she were there.
THIRD CONDITIONAL
If + Past Perfect	would have + past participle could/ might have	If Mark and Jim had visited us, we would have been delighted.
		If you hadn’t been so busy, we could/might have meet.

El primer condicional

Usamos if + present simple en la condición y future Simple en el resultado. Expresa lo que ocurrirá si se cumple la condición señalada.

No importa el orden en que se coloquen las proposiciones, pero si la condición va primero se suele poner una coma entre ambas.

                If we are honest with each other, our relationship will work. (si somos sinceros

                 el uno con el otro, nuestra relación funcionaría).

Además del Futuro Simple , en el resultado también se pueden usar los verbos modales, el presente simple o el imperativo.

                If it rains, we can’t go to the beach. (si llueve, no podemos ir a la playa).

Para expresar que algo no ocurrirá si no se cumple la condición, la proposición es introducida por la conjunción unless, que equivale a if no (“a no ser que” o “a menos que”), o se niega el verbo en Present Simple.

                Unless Anne moves to another city, she won’t leave her job. (A menos que Anne se

                mude a otra ciudad, ella no dejará su trabajo).

Ten en cuenta que unless se usa con bastante asiduidad en el primer condicional, pero es menos frecuente en el segundo condicional y nunca se emplea en la tercera condicional.

El segundo condicional

 Se usa if + Past Simple en la condición y would + el verbo en la forma base en el resultado. Expresa condiciones hipotéticas referidas al presente, es decir, que es poco probable que ocurran, por eso lo traducimos como un pretérito imperfecto de subjuntivo.

                If Tom liked Mary, he would invite her to have dinner with him. (si a Tom le gustara Mary, le                         hubiera invitado a cenar con él).

Si el verbo de la condición es to be, suele utilizarse were en todas las personas de singular y del plural.

                If he werent so upset, he would phone you. (Si él no estuviera tan disgustado, te llamaría).

Para dar consejos se emplea la fórmula If I were you.

                If I were you, I would ask my parents for permission.(Si yo fuera tú, pediría permiso a mis            
                padres).

En lugar de would se pueden usar could y might, pero ambos indican que probabilidad es menor. Equivalen a “podrían”o “tal vez”/”quizás”.

                I could go to the party if my parents lent me the car.

                (Podria ir a la fiesta si mis padres me dejaran el coche.)

                Unless I were certain, I wouldn’t say anything to him.

                (A no ser de que estuviera segura, no le diría nada a él.)

El tercer  condicional

Se forma con if + Past Perfect en la condición y would have + participio en el resultado. En este caso la condición es imposible, pues se refiere al pasado y ya no puede realizarse.

                You wouldn’t have fallen in love with her if you had known her intentions. 

                (no te habrias enamorado de ella si hubieses conocido sus intenciones.)

Las variantes para formar el tercer condicional son could have y might have+ participio en la proposición principal.

                If you had gone out last night, you could/ might have finished the project.

                (Si no hubieras salido anoche, habrias terminado el proyecto.)
