Errores frecuentes
Olvidar la -s de la tercera persona: He bring en vez de He brings
Correcto: He/She/It brings
En el present simple, la tercera persona del singular (he/she/it) siempre añade -s o -es al verbo. Es el error más frecuente entre hispanohablantes.
Regularizar el pasado: bringed en vez de brought
Correcto: Past simple: brought — Past participle: brought
«bring» es irregular: sus formas de pasado no siguen la regla estándar de añadir -ed. Deben aprenderse de memoria.
Formar preguntas sin do/does: You bring? en vez de Do you bring?
Correcto: Do you bring? / Does he/she bring?
En español, la pregunta se forma con la entonación. En inglés, el present simple y past simple necesitan el auxiliar do/does/did para preguntas y negaciones.
Confundir present simple con present continuous: I bring vs I am bringing
Correcto: Hábito/general → I bring | Ahora mismo → I am bringing
El present simple se usa para hábitos y verdades generales, mientras que el present continuous se usa para acciones en progreso. En español a menudo se usa el mismo tiempo para ambos.
