Errores frecuentes
Olvidar la -s de la tercera persona: He shrink en vez de He shrinks
Correcto: He/She/It shrinks
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: shrinked en vez de shrinked
Correcto: Past simple: shrinked — Past participle: shrinked
«shrink» es irregular: sus formas de pasado no siguen la regla estándar de añadir -ed. Deben aprenderse de memoria.
Formar preguntas sin do/does: You shrink? en vez de Do you shrink?
Correcto: Do you shrink? / Does he/she shrink?
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 shrink vs I am shrinking
Correcto: Hábito/general → I shrink | Ahora mismo → I am shrinking
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.
