Gramática:

  • I want you to believe every word I say

    ➔ Subjuntivo (deseo/petición)

    ➔ Aunque no usa explícitamente "that" y la forma base del verbo, la estructura "I want you to + infinitivo" expresa un deseo o petición. Implícitamente, tiene un elemento subjuntivo ya que la acción es deseada, no necesariamente un hecho. Una versión más formal podría ser "I want that you believe...", utilizando el subjuntivo de forma más directa. Los niveles B2-C1 deberían entender los matices de expresar deseos de forma indirecta.

  • Music is what I've got to give

    ➔ Oración de relativo con 'what'

    ➔ 'What' introduce una oración de relativo que funciona como sustantivo. Aquí, "what I've got" actúa como el objeto de la preposición "to". Esta es una estructura común para los niveles C1-C2.

  • I've got to find some way to make it

    ➔ "Have got to" (obligación/necesidad)

    "Have got to" es una forma informal de expresar obligación o necesidad, similar a "have to" o "must". En B2, los estudiantes deben estar familiarizados con esta construcción, mientras que los niveles C1-C2 la usarían naturalmente.

  • Lemme hear your funky guitar...

    ➔ Contracción informal "Lemme" (Let me)

    "Lemme" es una contracción muy informal de "let me." Es típico del habla coloquial y de las letras de canciones. Entender y usar contracciones informales de manera apropiada es una habilidad esperada en B2 y superior.

  • Somebody take it away from me

    ➔ Imperativo con sujeto implícito

    ➔ La oración está en modo imperativo, dando una orden o petición. El sujeto "you" está implícito. En B2+, los estudiantes deberían usar y entender los imperativos con facilidad.

  • You gotta go and fetch one

    ➔ "Gotta" (contracción informal de "got to") + "go and" (expresión idiomática)

    "Gotta" es otra contracción informal. "Go and" seguido de un verbo (fetch) es una forma idiomática común de indicar el propósito del movimiento. Esto combina dos elementos informales, requiriendo una sólida comprensión del inglés conversacional en C1-C2.
