Pronunciación de palabras terminadas en -ing

14/18
Recursos

¿Por qué son importantes las palabras con terminación -ing?

Las palabras que terminan en -ing son fundamentales en el idioma inglés y tienen múltiples usos. Dependiendo del contexto, pueden actuar como verbos, sustantivos e incluso adjetivos. Esto las hace versátiles y esenciales para una comunicación eficaz. Por ejemplo, encontramos -ing en formas de gerundios como playing y learning, o en adjetivos como interesting. Profundizar en este aspecto enriquecerá tu comprensión y maestría del inglés.

¿Cómo cambia la pronunciación con vocales y consonantes?

A la hora de añadir la terminación -ing, es crucial prestar atención a cómo se modifica la pronunciación.

Finalización en vocal

Cuando una palabra original tiene un sonido vocálico al final, el aire fluye sin interrupciones. Algunos ejemplos típicos son:

  • Playing
  • Seeing
  • Dying

Finalización en consonante

Por otro lado, si la palabra termina en consonante antes de añadir -ing, el aire se detiene momentáneamente, haciendo que el sonido sea más brusco. Ejemplos comunes incluyen:

  • Taking
  • Running

Esta diferencia en pronunciación puede parecer sutil, pero es importante para sonar más natural al hablar inglés.

¿Cómo afecta -ing al acento en las palabras?

Cuando se añade -ing al final de algunas palabras, a menudo se introduce una sílaba adicional. Esto, a su vez, puede cambiar el acento (énfasis) de la palabra. Consideremos los siguientes ejemplos:

  • Interest se transforma en interesting: Aquí el acento está en la sílaba antes de -ing.
  • Amazed se convierte en amazing: Similarmente, el acento reside antes de la sílaba con -ing.

En la transcripción IPA, esto se indica con una línea vertical alta antes de la sílaba acentuada.

¿Cómo practicar el uso de -ing?

Una manera eficiente de mejorar tu pronunciación y uso de -ing es participar activamente en ejercicios de repetición.

  1. Repite después de un modelo: Por ejemplo, jumping, swimming, eating, studying.
  2. Practica con grabaciones: Intenta añadir -ing y -ed a palabras como show, dream, help, y check.
  3. Graba tu pronunciamiento y compártelo para recibir retroalimentación.

Aprovecha recursos adicionales como cuadernos de trabajo para consolidar tus habilidades.

Recuerda siempre que la práctica contínua es vital para convertirte en un hablante competente. ¡Sigue aprendiendo y desafiándote a ti mismo! La práctica diaria y la exposición constante al inglés te ayudarán a mejorar gradualmente.

Words ending in `ING` can be: ```js --------------------------------- |Verb |Noun |Adjective | --------------------------------- |Playing |Learning |Interesting | --------------------------------- ``` # **word + /ɪŋ/** The same applies when the original word ends with either a vowel or a consonant sounds. ```js ---------------------------- |Vowel sounds |Playing | | |Seeing | | |Dying | | |Doing | ---------------------------- |Consonant sounds |Taking | | |Running | ---------------------------- ``` Vowel soundsPlayingSeeingDyingDoingConsonant soundsTakingRunning * With vowel sounds the air doesn’t stop. The sound goes on. * With consonant sound the air stops. # Syllables and word stress In some cases adding /ɪŋ/ to a word we are adding an extra syllable: ```js interest -> in-tere-sting -> /ˈɪn.trɪ.stɪŋ/ amaze -> a-ma-zing -> /əˈmeɪ.zɪŋ/ ``` For IPA transcription we use the period /./ to separate syllables. # Exercise ```js ---------------------------------------- |show |shows |showed |showing | ---------------------------------------- |dream |dreams |dreamed |dreaming | ---------------------------------------- |help |helps |helped |helping | ---------------------------------------- |check |checks |checked |checking | ---------------------------------------- |finish |finishes |finished |finishing | ---------------------------------------- ``` # Dream * In American English, the past tense and past participle are usually regular: dreamed. * In British English, it is common for the past tense and past participle to be irregular: dreamt.
