How English can make you tense
Estoy muy al pedo en estos días.
Cuando estoy así me pongo a pensar en cosas para ocupar mi tiempo, y quizás me enganche para hacer alguna certificación de inglés, o quizás de portugués. Por lo pronto cuelgo esto que me pasaron hace un tiempo para recordar los tiempos verbales en inglés, lo cual siempre me costó (inclusive en español :-P). Escrito por Alan R. Beresford.
Ahí se ven.
Everyday I study my English,
Which is not as simple as it seems.
My head is continuously spinning;
Now verbs are turning in my dreams.I was learning the Past Continuous,
Which unfortunately didn't last;
For, as I was happily going along,
Up jumped the Simple Past.I had hoped to learn more quickly;
The Past Perfect I'd wanted to clear,
And it would've been much easier
If the Conditional hadn't appeared.The Present Perfect I haven't perfected,
Though believe me how I've tried.
The Continuous I've been attempting;
I'm surprised I haven't cried.The Future won't be simpler,
Of that I am quite sure.
It's going to be confusing
On the evidence of before.As yet I haven't considered
The Future in the Past.
I was going to make an effort,
But it left me quite aghast.But the thing that keeps me going,
As I struggle with each tense,
Is that maybe in the future
It just might make some sense.
