Una práctica habitual en las compañías a la hora de cubrir una vacante
consiste en poner un anuncio ( adevertisement) en un periódico o revista
especializada. Hay cuatro puntos de información que siempre deben estar
presentes en un buen anuncio:
 Posición (Job position) en letras mayúsculas o claramente identificable
 Requisitos (Job requirements) o perfil del candidato; títulos o
conocimientos que el solicitante (applicant) debe tener
 Beneficios (Benefits): todo aquello que la compañía ofrece
 Dirección (Address) a la que podamos contestar, enviar nuestra solicitud
(application); actualmente es muy frecuente encontrar direcciones de
correo electrónico
Como ejercicio abre un periódico y mira la sección de anuncios. Seguro que
podrás ver reflejado esto que acabamos de decir.

think they are for; underline the words and expressions used to

Todas las personas interesadas en la oferta de trabajo que una compañía

además escribirán una carta que en inglés llamamos application letter. La
persona que solicita (apply for) el empleo es el applicant. Tanto el CV como
la carta tienen unos formatos que nos interesa conocer.

17 March 2010
Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the Telesales Agent position you advertised in the
newspaper last weekend.
As you can see from my curriculum vitae, I have been working in telephone
sales for three years. I have the First Certificate in English and a good
knowledge of French. I can use Excel and Word programmes without any
problems. And I would be willing to travel when necessary.
I am available for an interview at any time. 5I look forward to hearing from
you.

Yours faithfully,

Veamos ahora lo que indican los pequeños numeritos que aparecen al lado de
algunas secciones de la carta:
1. The letter head: se escribe aquí la dirección (no el nombre!) de la persona
que escribe la carta. Suele ir generalmente en el margen superior derecho.
También podríamos llamarle sender’s address.
2. The inside adress: esta es la dirección de la persona que recibirá la carta.
Puede incluir el nombre de la persona y su posición en la empresa, en el
supuesto de que lo conozcamos. Esta dirección debe escribirse en el lado
izquierdo de la carta.
3. The date: se coloca debajo del letter head. En inglés británico hay tres
formas de escribir la fecha:
o con números ordinales:
12th March 2010
o con números ordinales
12 March 2010
o anteponiendo el mes
March 12 2010.
Si en lugar de escribir el nombre del mes ponemos el número que le
corresponda: 12.3.2010, recuerda que en inglés americano se escribe
primero el mes y luego el día por lo que para un británico esta fecha sería el
12 de marzo, pero para un americano sería el 3 de diciembre.
4. Salutation / Conclusion:
Si no conocemos el nombre de la persona que va a recibir la carta, como es
el caso del ejemplo, escribiremos la frases: Dear Sir,
Dear Sirs,
Dear Sir/Madam, seguidos de
una coma, y en la parte inferior escribiremos el conclusion:
Yours faithfully.
Si conocemos el nombre empezaremos Dear Mr. _______,
Dear Ms. _______, y
terminaremos:
Yours sincerely,
5. Esta es una frase hecha con la que se acaban muchas cartas formales y que
te vendrá bien memorizar.
* Como ésta es una carta que va a acompañar a un currículo puede aparcer en
la parte inferior izquierda el término Encl. seguido de un número. Significa
Enclosures, y nos estaríag indicando cuál es la cantidad de documentos
adjuntos que acompañan al escrito.

GRAMMAR POINT
Los temas de gramática que revisamos en esta unidad, como se detalla en el
índice, son
 Present Perfect ( y su contraste con el Past Simple)
 Questions
 Modals
THE PRESENT PERFECT
1.- USO
El presente perfecto simple es el tiempo que se utiliza en inglés
a) para referirse a una acción que ocurrió en un tiempo de pasado no
especificado, pero que tiene relevancia en el presente.
I have found my purse
b) para referirse a una acción que empezó en el pasado y todavía continúa
en el presente. (normalmente acompañado de for y since)
I have known James since 1995
c) para señalar periodos de tiempo no acabados.
I haven’t studied today (imagina que ahora son las 5; “today” todavía no se ha acabado)
d) para referirse a una acción que ocurrió de forma repetida en el pasado.
I have read this book twice
2.- FORMA
Se construye conjugando el presente del verbo “have” (“has para la tercera
persona del singular), seguido del participio del verbo principal. Si el verbo es
regular, la forma de participio se forma añadiendo al infinitivo “-ed”; si el verbo
es irregular será necesario saber cuál es la forma de participio del verbo.
They have opened a new branch in Málaga
She has sent some mails this morning
FORMA AFIRMATIVA

This morning
*Se utiliza “some” en la formas afirmativas, pero “any” en las negativas e interrogativas
Las expresiones temporales que suelen acompañar a este tiempo verbal son:
just, yet, already, ever, never, lately, recently, so far, for, since, how long….
QUESTIONS
Repasamos en este tema también la forma de hacer preguntas en inglés.
Debemos recordar que lo que aquí estudiamos no es aplicable al verbo “to be”,
que funciona de una manera particular. Dividiremos las preguntas en dos
grandes grupos.
A) YES/NO questions: al no llevar signo interrogativo al principio de la frase,
la lengua busca otras estrategias para que los hablantes identifiquen la
estructura con una forma interrogativa. Y así, todas las preguntas de
18
este tipo empiezan en inglés por el verbo auxiliar con el que se conforma
cada uno de los tiempos verbales, a excepción de los tiempos presente
simple y pasado simple, que por no llevar ningún auxiliar en sus formas
afirmativas, necesitan añadir uno en la interrogativa. Fíjate en el
siguiente cuadro:
AUXILIAR
Do
Did
Have
Will
SUJETO
they
they
they
they
VERBO
work
work
worked
work
Complementos ?
in a factory?
in a factory?
in a factory?
in a factory?
B) WH- questions: son aquellas que buscan una respuesta que no sea yes
o no. Se construyen igual que las anteriores, excepto por el hecho de
que antes que el auxiliar pondremos el pronombre interrogativo
necesario en cada caso:

INTERROGATIVO

do
have
will
SUJETO
VERBO
(OTROS
COMPLEMENTOS)?
do
work ?
finished?
hire
in the factory?
they
they
they
they
new staff?
MODALS
Los modales y los verbos semi-modales son verbos auxiliares que añaden
distintos matices a las frases: capacidad, obligación, necesidad, sugerencia, ……
Tienen la misma forma para todas las personas y van siempre seguidos del
verbo en su forma de infinitivo, sin “to” ( a excepción del verbo modal ought to
y del verbo semi-modal have to).
They can speak French and German
You must follow the instructions.
We have to finish the report.
Para hacer la forma negativa, simplemente añadimos “not” al verbo auxiliar. En
las frases con can, el adverbio siempre se escribe junto al auxiliar formando
una sola palabra.
She cannot (can’t) use a computer.
They must not (mustn’t) stop production.
19
Para hacer las frases interrogativas, el modal empieza la frase, colocándose
delante del sujeto, como hacen el resto de auxiliares de la lengua inglesa.
Could you answer the telephone, please?
Must we wear formal clothes in the office?
Aquí tienes un cuadro con los modales más frecuentes y algunos de los matices
que cada uno puede aportar a la frase:
MODAL
CAN
CAN’T
COULD
MAY /MIGHT
SHOULD/OUGHT TO
MUST
MUSTN’T
NEEDN’T (= don’t
have to)
USO
EJEMPLO
habilidad
permiso
imposibilidad
incredulidad
habilidad en el pasado
posibilidad (no certeza)
petición educada
posibilidad futura
petición educada y formal
permiso (formal)
consejo
obligación
probabilidad lógica
obligación (severa)
necesidad
recomendación
prohibición
ausencia de necesidad
I can speak French
Can I use your pone?
She can’t be away. I saw her at the
office yesterday.
She could speak French two years ago
She could be in France or Italy.
Could I have a drink?
We may go to a resturant tomorrow.
May I borrow your pen?
You may use the computer.
She should learn about computers.
You should practise more often.
He should be back in five minutes.
We must drive with a seatbelt.
You must get to the office early.
We must go to the new restautrant.
You mustn’t smoke in the office.
You needn’t come early tomorrow.
Estos auxiliares modales son además verbos defectivos, es decir, carecen de
tiempos verbales. De hecho la gran mayoría sólo tienen una forma. Para
expresar estas ideas en las formas de futuro o tiempos compuestos utilizaremos
los verbos semi-modales “be able to” ( que significa “ser capaz de” ) y “have
to” (que significa “tener que”).
I will be able to finish the report tomorrow.
They will have to unpack the boxes quickly.
