¿Cómo usar correctamente las preposiciones "debajo", "cerca" y "entre"?

Las preposiciones son palabras vitales en cualquier idioma, pues nos ayudan a construir frases coherentes y comprensibles. En esta clase, nos centraremos en las preposiciones "debajo", "cerca" y "entre". Estas pequeñas palabras pueden cambiar significativamente el significado de una oración, por lo que es esencial entender su uso y su correcta aplicación en las conversaciones diarias. Este conocimiento no solo enriquecerá tu vocabulario en inglés, sino que también mejorará tu habilidad para comunicarte con más precisión.

¿Cuándo usar "debajo"?

La preposición "debajo" se emplea para indicar que un objeto está a un nivel inferior respecto a otro. Imagina una conversación donde alguien pregunta: "¿Puedes comprobar el cable debajo del escritorio?" Aquí, el cable está en un nivel más bajo que el escritorio. Recuerda que "debajo" es lo opuesto de "encima". Así, si tus piernas están debajo del escritorio, al sentarte, esta es la manera correcta de explicar su posición.

  • Ejemplos:
    • Mis piernas están debajo del escritorio.
    • La papelera está debajo del escritorio.

Te invito a pensar en ejemplos cotidianos y preguntarte: ¿Qué hay debajo de tu escritorio o cama? Este ejercicio te ayudará a internalizar el concepto.

¿Cómo utilizar "cerca"?

La preposición "cerca" señala que existe poca distancia entre dos objetos o lugares. Durante una conversación, podrías escuchar a alguien decir: "Pondré el soporte del micrófono cerca de este atril." Al usar "cerca", indicas proximidad entre dos puntos. Además, hay una expresión que es particularmente útil: "cerca de".

  • Ejemplos:
    • Mi casa está cerca del parque.
    • Las oficinas de Platzi están cerca de una estación de autobuses.

Piensa en tu entorno: ¿qué hay cerca de tu casa o trabajo? Crear tus propios ejemplos te ayudará a familiarizarte con este concepto.

¿Qué significa "entre"?

Finalmente, "entre" se utiliza para describir algo que está en el medio de dos o más cosas. Por ejemplo, si alguien dice: "Los cajones están entre el escritorio y la pared", está indicando que los cajones ocupan el espacio central entre estos dos objetos. Esta preposición es sencilla y muy útil.

  • Ejemplos:
    • El sofá está entre las cajas y la lámpara.
    • El gato está sentado entre Robert y Grace.

Te animo a describir objetos o situaciones en tu entorno usando "entre". Por ejemplo, podría ser un mueble en tu sala, como un sillón entre dos ventanas, o un árbol entre dos bancas en un parque. Estas prácticas fortalecen tu comprensión y uso del inglés.

Continuar practicando estas preposiciones es clave para dominar su uso. Con el tiempo, te sentirás más cómodo y seguro al aplicarlas en tus conversaciones diarias. ¿Tienes otras preposiciones con las que quieras practicar? ¡Sigue explorando este fascinante mundo del inglés!
