El Santo
Born in Tulancingo in the Mexican state of Hidalgo, to Jess Guzmn Campuzano and Josefina Huerta (Mrquez) de Guzmn as the fifth of seven children, Rodolfo came to Mexico City in the 1920s, where his family settled in the Tepito neighbourhood. He practiced baseball and American football, and then became interested in wrestling. He first learned JuJitsu, then classical wrestling.[2] Accounts vary as to exactly when and where he first wrestled competitively, either in Arena Peralvillo Cozumel on the 28th of June 1934, or Deportivo Islas in the Guerrero colony of Mexico City in 1935, but by the second half of the 1930s, he was established as a wrestler, using the names Rudy Guzmn, El Hombre Rojo (the Red Man), El Demonio Negro (The Black Demon) and El Murcielago II (The Bat II). The last name was a rip-off of the name of a famous wrestler Jesus Velazquez named "El Murcielago" (The Bat), and
after an appeal by the Bat to the Mexican boxing and wrestling commission, the regulatory body ruled that Guzmn could not use the name. In 1952, the artist and editor Jos G. Cruz started a Santo comic book, turning Santo into the first and foremost character in Mexican popular literature, his popularity only rivalled by the legendary Kalimn character. The Santo comic book series (4 different volumes) ran continuously for 35 years, only ending in 1987.
Adjectives
Those are a word that describe identifies and give information about a noun when we want to know more about places, animals things, ideas, people and activities.
Students explanation
Adjectives are words used to limit or describe substantives and adjective broadens the meaning of a noun but it also limit the extent of the idea expressed by a noun.
The position of an adjectives within a sentence is extremely important misplacing and adjective may affect the meaning of a whole sentences. And adjective is correctly placed when it leaves no doubt as to what it modifies.
Therefore, it should stand nearest to the word or phrase to which it logically bolongs.
Superlative
richest loveliest most beautiful
Certain adjectives have irregular forms in the comparative and superlative degrees:
more further
most furthest
absolute
impossibl principal e
Examples
The same process can be used to downplay the degree: The weather this week has been somewhat better. He approaches his schoolwork a little less industriously than his brother does.
And sometimes a set phrase, usually an informal noun phrase, is used for this purpose:
If the intensifier very accompanies the superlative, a determiner is also required: She is wearing her very finest outfit for the interview. They're doing the very best they can.
Occasionally, the comparative or superlative form appears with a determiner and the thing being modified is understood: Of all the wines produced in Connecticut, I like this one the most. The quicker you finish this project, the better. Of the two brothers, he is by far the faster.
Exercise
Fill in the words in brackets as adjective or adverb like in the example. Example: Peter works ______ (slow). Answer: Peter works slowly.
2) Kevin is ________ clever. (extreme) 3) This hamburger tastes_______. (awful) 4) Be ________ with this glass of milk. It's hot. (careful) 5) Robin looks ________. What's the matter with him?

(bad) 9) Don't speak so_______ I can't understand you. (fast) 10) Maria _______ opened her present. (slow)
Verbs
Are words that indicate action ro state of being, we use the verbs to give the action to nouns. We have active, passive, transitive and intransitive verbs and we have regular and irregular verbs these change their form.
Student`s explanation
A verb is a word used to express ann action or a condition most verbs assert action, some merely state a condition.
The verb is a telling word. It is the essential element of every sentence. If the verb is left out of the sentence, all the other words became meaningless.
In studying the tenses of a verb, we must first make reference to three fundamental of the verb. They are present, the past, the past participle and infinitive . The mood is that modification of a verb which indicates the manner in a which and action or condition is presented to the mind.

Personal pronoun
A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive. Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative
pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.
Student explanation
A personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing and changes its form to indicate person, number, gender, and case.
A subjective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as the subject of the sentence. The subjective personal pronouns are "I," "you," "she," "he," "it," "we," "you," "they."
Examples
I, me You He She It We yo t l ella ello, referido a animal o cosa nosotros/as
You They
nosotros/as ellos/as
I am twenty-nine years old. (Yo tengo veintinueve aos). You live in Barcelona (T vives en Barcelona). She has got a dog (Ella tiene un perro). He makes the bed every morning (l hace la cama cada da). It runs inside the house (Ello, el perro, el gato corre dentro de la casa). We sing a good song at the disco (Nosotros cantamos una cancin buena en la discoteca). They write an e-mail to the teacher (Ellos escriben un correo electrnico al profesor).

Prepositions
A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition.
Student explanation
A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following examples: The book is on the table. The book is beside the table. She held the book over the table. She read the book during class. In each of the preceding sentences, a preposition locates the noun "book" in space or in time. Recognize a preposition when you see one. Prepositions are the words that indicate location. Usually, prepositions show this location in the physical world. Check out the three examples below:
Examples of prepositions
Usage
room, building, street, town, country book, paper etc. car, taxi picture, world
Example
in the kitchen, in London in the book in the car, in a taxi in the picture, in the world at the door, at the station at the table at a concert, at the party

Can
/ cant
We use 'can' to talk about 'possibility'. Notice that there are two negative forms: 'can't' and 'cannot'. These mean exactly the same thing. When we are speaking, we usually say 'can't'. We use 'can' to talk about 'ability'. Can you drive? Can you drive? Yes, I can. No, I can't. / No, I cannot.
Students explanation
We use can or cant in abilities or activities in order to know that you can do or cant do
CAN PLAY SOCCER
Can Can Can Can Can Can Can Can I you he she it we you they play? play? play? play? play? play? play? play?
Can I speak to you or are you too busy? You can use my phone. You can't come in.
We use 'can' in offers, requests and instructions. Can I help? Can you give me a hand? When you finish that, you can take out the garbage.
We use 'can' with 'see' 'hear' 'feel' 'smell' 'taste' to talk about something which is happening now . (Where you would use the present continuous with most other verbs.)
I can smell something burning. Can you hear that noise? I can't see anything.
We can use 'can't' for deduction. The opposite of 'can't' in this context is 'must'. You can't be hungry. You've just eaten. You must be hungry. You haven't eaten anything all day. He was in London one hour ago when I spoke to him. He can't be here yet.

Simple present
With the simple present we can express actins which are usually, we express , a hobby, a daily event or something that often happens, it is the way for talking and expressing events, ideas. In
general we use the simple present to express situations which exist always, usually and habitually, and probably will exist in the future.
Students explanation
We use the simple present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby a daily event, or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.
event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.
Examples:
I play tennis. She does not play tennis. Does he play tennis? The train leaves every morning at 8 AM. The train does not leave at 9 AM. When does the train usually leave? She always forgets her purse. He never forgets his wallet. Every twelve months, the Earth circles the Sun. Does the Sun circle the Earth?
The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things. Examples:
Cats like milk. Birds do not like milk. Do pigs like milk?
California is in America. California is not in the United Kingdom. Windows are made of glass. Windows are not made of wood.
Speakers occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well. Examples:
The train leaves tonight at 6 PM. The bus does not arrive at 11 AM, it arrives at 11 When do we board the plane? The party starts at 8 o'clock. When does class begin tomorrow?
PM.

Present progressive
It is a temporary activity which begins in the past, and continues in the present and probably ends at some point in the future. It expresses an activity that is in progress at the moment of speaking.
Students explanation
The present progressive is used to say something that is happening. The present progressive is formed by combing the verb ( to be ) with the present participle is merely the (ing) form of a verb.
FORM
[am/is/are + present participle] You are watching TV. Are you watching TV? you are not watching TV.
Examples
Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. Examples:
You are learning English now. You are not swimming now. Are you sleeping? I am sitting. I am not standing. Is he sitting or standing? They are reading their books. They are not watching television. What are you doing? Why aren't you doing your homework?
In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second.
I am studying to become a doctor. I am not studying to become a dentist. I am reading the book Tom Sawyer. I am not reading any books right now. Are you working on any special projects at work? Aren't you teaching at the university now?
Sometimes, speakers use the Present Continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future. Examples:
I am meeting some friends after work. I am not going to the party tonight. Is he visiting his parents next weekend? Isn't he coming with us tonight?
The Present Continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the idea that something irritating or shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is like Simple Present, but with negative emotion. Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing." Examples: She is always coming to class late. He is constantly talking. I wish he would shut up. I don't like them because they are always complaining.
Exercise
My sister (to clean) _________________the bathroom. Look! They (to go) __________________inside. I (to wait) ________________________in the car now. Mrs Miller (to listen) ________________to CDs. We (to speak) _________________English at the moment.
Kurz- und Langform Rewrite the sentences using the short forms (where long forms are given) or the long forms (where short forms are given). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. We are reading a letter. _______________________ He is opening the window. _________________________ I am playing computer games. ___________________________ She's dancing at the party. _________________________ They're drinking a cup of tea. _________________________

He is making pizza right now. _______________________________ 4. Susan and her brother are taking photos. _______________________ 5. Dad is working in the kitchen. _______________________________
Past progressive
We use past progressive to express something or an idea which happen in the past, something that you were doing and was stopped.
Students explanation
We should use the past progressive to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually an action in the simple past. can be a real interruption in the time. This
I was You were He was She was It was We were You were They were
I wasnt you werent he wasnt she wasnt It wasnt we werent you werent they werent
Examples
Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
I was watching TV when she called. When the phone rang, she was writing a letter. While we were having the picnic, it started to rain. What were you doing when the earthquake started? I was listening to my iPod, so I didn't hear the fire alarm. You were not listening to me when I told you to turn the oven off. While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car. Sammy was waiting for us when we got off the plane. While I was writing the email, the computer suddenly went off. A: What were you doing when you broke your leg? B: I was snowboarding.
In USE 1, described above, the Past Continuous is interrupted by a shorter action in the Simple Past. However, you can also use a specific time as an interruption. Examples: Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner. At midnight, we were still driving through the desert. Yesterday at this time, I was sitting at my desk at work.
IMPORTANT In the Simple Past, a specific time is used to show when an action began or finished. In the Past Continuous, a specific time only interrupts the action. Examples: Last night at 6 PM, I ate dinner. I STARTED EATING AT 6 PM. Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner. I STARTED EARLIER; AND AT 6 PM, I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF
EATING DINNER.
When you use the Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The actions are parallel. Examples: I was studying while he was making dinner. While Ellen was reading, Tim was watching television.

Simple past
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.
Students explanation
The simple past is used when you want to say something that happened before and in this moment no more we use the simple past for actions that started and finished in the past, usually is indicated when occurred, and there is an adverbs from time which indicates all. Did/didnt Did/didnt Did/didnt Did/didnt Did/didnt Did/didnt Did/didnt I? you? he? she? it? we? you?
Did/didnt
they?
Examples
USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions
We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. Examples: I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim. He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00. Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc. Examples:
I lived in Brazil for two years. Shauna studied Japanese for five years. They sat at the beach all day. They did not stay at the party the entire time. We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.
A: How long did you wait for them? B: We waited for one hour.
The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc. Examples:
I studied French when I was a child. He played the violin. He didn't play the piano. Did you play a musical instrument when you were a
kid? She worked at the movie theater after school. They never went to school, they always skipped class.
The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression.
Did you live in Texas when you were a kid? People paid much more to make cell phone calls in the past. She was shy as a child, but now she is very outgoing.

Simple Future
Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.
Students explanation
We use the simple future for future actions, events f they are only a few seconds in the future, this simple future is formed with the helping verb will and the first form of the verb. Will--------wont--------going to
Examples
Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something.
Examples:
I will send you the information when I get it. I will translate the email, so Mr. Smith can read it. Will you help me move this heavy table? Will you make dinner? I will not do your homework for you. I won't do all the housework myself! A: I'm really hungry. B: I'll make some sandwiches. A: I'm so tired. I'm about to fall asleep. B: I'll get you some coffee. A: The phone is ringing. B: I'll get it.
Examples:
I will call you when I arrive. If I am elected President of the United States, I will make sure everyone has access to inexpensive health insurance. I promise I will not tell him about the surprise party. Don't worry, I'll be careful. I won't tell anyone your secret.
"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not.
Examples:
He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii. She is not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii.
A: When are we going to meet each other tonight? B: We are going to meet at 6 PM. I'm going to be an actor when I grow up. Michelle is going to begin medical school next year. They are going to drive all the way to Alaska. Who are you going to invite to the party? A: Who is going to make John's birthday cake? B: Sue is going to make John's birthday cake.

Negative:_____________________ Question: _____________________ 11 the people / panic Positive: _____________________ Negative: ____________________ Question: ____________________
Future Continuous
Future Continuous has two different forms: "will be doing " and "be going to be doing." Unlike Simple Future forms, Future Continuous forms are usually interchangeable.
Students explanation
We use the future continuous ehan we want to say some idea In a specific time in the future that idea start, and finishes in the future. We need this structure: ( [ will be ] + [ will + ing ] )
The future continuous tense expresses action at a particular moment in the future. The action will start before that moment but it will not have finished at that moment.
Examples
[will be + present participle]
Examples:
You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight. Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight? You will not be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
Examples:
You are going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight. Are you going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight? You are not going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
Use the Future Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
I will be watching TV when she arrives tonight. I will be waiting for you when your bus arrives. I am going to be staying at the Madison Hotel, if anything happens and you need to contact me. He will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer when she arrives.
Notice in the examples above that the interruptions (marked in italics) are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses.
In USE 1, described above, the Future Continuous is interrupted by a short action in the future. In addition to using short actions as interruptions, you can also use a specific time as an interruption.
Examples:
Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner. I WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF EATING DINNER. At midnight tonight, we will still be driving through the desert. WE WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT.
REMEMBER In the Simple Future, a specific time is used to show the time an action will begin or end. In the Future Continuous, a specific time interrupts the action. Examples:
Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to eat dinner. I AM GOING TO START EATING AT 6 PM. Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner. I AM GOING TO START EARLIER AND I WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF EATING DINNER AT 6 PM.
When you use the Future Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions will be happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.
Examples:
I am going to be studying and he is going to be making dinner. Tonight, they will be eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.

Present perfect
the present perfect is used for actions which started in the past and are still true now.
The present perfect is formed with the helping verb have or has and the third of verb.
Students explanation.
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific
time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
Examples
I have seen that movie twenty times. I think I have met him once before. There have been many earthquakes in California. People have traveled to the Moon. People have not traveled to Mars. Have you read the book yet? Nobody has ever climbed that mountain. A: Has there ever been a war in the United States? B: Yes, there has been a war in the United States.
How Do You Actually Use the Present Perfect? The concept of "unspecified time" can be very confusing to English learners. It is best to associate Present Perfect with the following topics:
You can use the Present Perfect to describe your experience. It is like saying, "I have the experience of..." You can also use this
tense to say that you have never had a certain experience. The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.
Examples:
THIS
FRANCE.
MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN THERE ONCE, OR SEVERAL I have been to France three times. I have never been to France.
TIMES.
YOU
THIS SENTENCE MEANS THAT YOU HAVE NOT HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF GOING TO FRANCE.
I think I have seen that movie before. He has never traveled by train. Joan has studied two foreign languages. A: Have you ever met him? B: No, I have not met him.
We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period of time. Examples:
You have grown since the last time I saw you. The government has become more interested in arts education. Japanese has become one of the most popular courses at the university since the Asian studies program was established. My English has really improved since I moved to Australia
Sometimes, we want to limit the time we are looking in for an experience. We can do this with expressions such as: in the last week, in the last year, this week, this month, so far, up to now, etc.
Examples:
I have seen that movie six times in the last month. They have had three tests in the last week. She graduated from university less than three years ago. She has worked for three different companies so far. My car has broken down three times this week

Past perfect
We use past perfect to describe a past event or condition completed before another in the past. It starts in the past, is developed in the past and finished in the past. form of simple past [had + past participle]
Students explanation
The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past. I You He She It We You They had had had had had had had had played run swept cooked
Examples
I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai. I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet. Tony knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times.
Had Susan ever studied Thai before she moved to Thailand? She only understood the movie because she had read the book. Kristine had never been to an opera before last night. We were not able to get a hotel room because we had not booked in advance. A: Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 2006? B: Yes, I had been to the U.S. once before.
With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past. Examples:
We had had that car for ten years before it broke down. By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years. They felt bad about selling the house because they had owned it for more than forty years.
Although the above use of Past Perfect is normally limited to Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs,
the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT Non-Continuous Verbs.
Unlike with the Present Perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect. Although this is possible, it is usually not necessary. Example:
She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
If the Past Perfect action did occur at a specific time, the Simple Past can be used instead of the Past Perfect when "before" or "after" is used in the sentence. The words "before" and "after" actually tell you what happens first, so the Past Perfect is optional. For this reason, both sentences below are correct. Examples:
She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996. She visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
If the Past Perfect is not referring to an action at a specific time, Past Perfect is not optional. Compare the examples below. Here Past Perfect is referring to a lack of experience rather than an action at a specific time. For this reason, Simple Past cannot be used. Examples:
She never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not Correct She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. Correct
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc. Examples:
You had previously studied English before you moved to New York. Had you previously studied English before you moved to New York?
