Uso de Cláusulas Complementarias con Gerundios

Clase 8 de 20 • Curso de Inglés Intermedio B1: Preguntas Negativas y Recomendaciones

Resumen

Las cláusulas suplementarias complementan con más información relacionada con el sustantivo de la oración. Este tipo de cláusulas entregan color o acción a la oración principal, pero requieren modificar al sustantivo o pronombre a la que hacen referencia.

Normalmente, estas cláusulas son introducidas utilizando gerundios (Verb + ing).

Para qué sirven las cláusulas suplementarias en inglés

Las cláusulas suplementarias responden la pregunta: How + verb? Explican cómo se hizo determinada cosa, porque medio y ponen el foco en otra acción.

Ejemplos de cláusulas suplementarias en inglés

Veamos algunos ejemplos:

Working tirelessly, Mr. Emmet has to prove his hypothesis.
- La hipótesis sería el sustantivo de la oración si la cláusula no existiera.
- “Trabajar incansablemente” cambia el sustantivo, haciendo que este sea el medio para demostrar la hipótesis y el nuevo foco de la oración.
Entering the room, we met the president.
- Conocer al presidente podría ser el sustantivo de la oración, pero la cláusula “Entrando al cuarto” cambia el significado de lo que se quiere transmitir.

Supplementary Clauses: add extra information to a sentence. They typically begin with a gerund and provide details about how an action occurs, modifying a noun or pronoun clearly.

The clause "Holding the lamp in one hand" is a supplementary clause that explains how the boy approached the painting. They enrich the sentence by adding context or action related to the subject.
