Peticiones y Ofertas Educadas con "Quisiera" en Español

Clase 15 de 19 • Curso de Inglés Básico A2: Sustantivos e Intenciones Futuras

Resumen

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre 'quiero' y 'quisiera'?

Iniciar una conversación en español a veces puede ser todo un arte, especialmente cuando se trata de hacer peticiones u ofertas. Las palabras "quiero" y "quisiera" son comunes en el español, pero la diferencia en su uso puede cambiar completamente el tono de lo que estás tratando de comunicar. Esencialmente, "quiero" es más directo e informal, mientras que "quisiera" refleja educación y cordialidad. Acompáñame y descubre cómo estas diferencias pueden influir en tus interacciones diarias.

¿Cómo se usan ‘quiero’ y ‘quisiera’ en peticiones?

Cuando deseas algo, es sencillo usar "quiero": "Quiero un helado". Esta expresión es directa, apropiada en un contexto informal. Sin embargo, si te encuentras en un entorno más formal o deseas sonar más educado, podrías optar por "quisiera": "Me gustaría pedir un helado". Esta formulación suaviza tu petición, haciendo que suene más respetuosa. Por ejemplo:

"Quiero solicitar un día libre" puede sonar demasiado directo para hablar con tu jefe.
"Me gustaría solicitar un día libre" es una forma amable y profesional de plantear la misma solicitud.

¿Cómo se forman ofertas educadas usando ‘quisiera’?

El uso de "quisiera" no se limita solo a pedidos; también es fenomenal para presentar ofertas. Los ejemplos más comunes incluyen:

"¿Te gustaría ver esta clase de nuevo?", ofreciendo así la posibilidad de repetir la experiencia.
"¿Les gustaría trabajar desde casa?", que suena comprensivo y abierto a necesidades personales.

La estructura para estas preguntas comienza con would, seguido del sujeto, like to, y el verbo en su forma base. Una frase de ejemplo sería: "¿Le gustaría trabajar en la terraza?".

¿Cómo contraer ‘would’ en inglés?

Con el inglés, las contracciones se usan para simplificar y hacer que el lenguaje hablado sea más fluido. La palabra "would" puede contraerse fácilmente utilizando un apóstrofo y una "d". Por ejemplo:

I would se convierte en I'd
He would se convierte en He'd
They would se convierte en They'd

Estas contracciones son útiles en conversaciones para sonar más natural y eficiente.

Si te sientes impaciente por seguir practicando estas estructuras, ¡es una excelente noticia! La práctica es clave para dominar cualquier idioma. Puedes dirigirte a una hoja de trabajo que ofrece escenarios donde practicar ofertas o peticiones utilizando "le gustaría". Así que, ¿estás listo para llevar tus interacciones al siguiente nivel? Estoy seguro de que puedes hacerlo.

Para indicar órdenes y hacer ofertas usando "would like to" en inglés, generalmente se emplea en un tono más educado y cortés. Aquí tienes algunos ejemplos:

Órdenes:
- I would like you to finish this report by tomorrow. (Me gustaría que terminaras este informe para mañana.)
- We would like you to clean your room before dinner. (Nos gustaría que limpiaras tu habitación antes de la cena.)
Ofertas:
- I would like to help you with your homework. (Me gustaría ayudarte con tus deberes.)
- We would like to invite you to our party next weekend. (Nos gustaría invitarte a nuestra fiesta el próximo fin de semana.)

Recuerda que "would like to" se utiliza para expresar deseos o solicitudes de manera más educada y formal. En estos ejemplos, se usa para indicar órdenes y hacer ofertas de manera cortés y respetuosa.

When it comes to expressing desires, there's a distinction between using "want" and "would like to".

Want: Direct and informal expression of desire.
Would like to: Polite and indirect way of expressing desire or making requests.

Examples:

Requesting a day off:
- "I want to request the day off."
- "I would like to request a day off."
Notice the polite tone in the second sentence, suitable for communication with a manager or supervisor.
Making changes:
- "He wants to make some changes."
- "He would like to make some changes."
Again, the second option reflects a more courteous approach.

Offers with "would like to"

We can also use "would like to" to make offers.

"Would you like to see this class again?"
"Would they like to work from home?"

Structure:

In sentences:

**Subject + Would + Like To + Verb (base form)**e.g., "I would like to go there."

In questions:

**Would + Subject + Like To + Verb (base form)**e.g., "Would you like to try this new product?"

More examples:

"She'd like to have vegetarian options for lunch."
"Would you like to work on the terrace?"Note: The apostrophe and "D" are used when contracting "would".
