Clase 4 de 23 • Curso de Inglés Intermedio Alto B2: Pasado Perfecto y Frases Adverbiales

Resumen

Si aún no conoces tu nivel de inglés, ve a nuestro Test de Inglés de Platzi y conócelo en minutos. 🚀

Las oraciones en el idioma inglés pueden ser enriquecidas haciendo uso de las frases adverbiales para agregar información de lo que quieres expresar.

¿Qué son las frases adverbiales?

Las frases adverbiales son un conjunto de dos o más palabras que funcionan como un adverbio. Por su parte, recordarás que los adverbios son elementos gramaticales para modificar verbos, adjetivos, otros adverbios u oraciones enteras. Veamos algunos primeros ejemplos:

The sculptor did exceptionally well on his art exhibition.
She didn’t want to be too anxious for the meeting, so she drank coffee earlier in the morning.

Tenemos que diferenciar entre tres tipos de frases adverbiales diferentes:

Frases adverbiales de grado

Las frases adverbiales de grado indican la intensidad de una acción. Puedes utilizar palabras como:

Highly
Very
Barely
Quickly
Pretty
Almost
Perfectly

Un ejemplo de este tipo de frase adverbial podría ser: She hand-drew the Christmas tree very meticulously.

Frases adverbiales modificadoras

Las frases adverbiales modificadoras dan información extra en una oración. El significado de dicha oración podrá estar completo y comprenderse completamente sin necesidad de este agregado.

Veamos un ejemplo de este tipo de frase adverbial: Now we just have to make sure we finish our proposal before the meeting. La oración podría ser simplemente Now we just have to make sure we finish our proposal y su significado estaría correcto.

Frases adverbiales complementarias

Las frases adverbiales complementarias, a diferencia de las modificadoras, agregan información necesaria para completar una oración. La misma no tendría el mismo significado sin este agregado.

Tomemos un ejemplo visto en el roleplay Let’s Work Together With Commands de la clase pasada: We’ll be presenting our ideas separately from the other departments, right?

En este caso, la oración no se comprendería sin la frase adverbial.

Conclusión

Las frases adverbiales agregan vocabulario a tus oraciones para llevarlas a otro nivel. Ya sea indicando intensidad, agregando información o modificando por completo el significado. Utiliza este recurso para complementar tus oraciones y profundizar tu nivel de inglés.

What is the diference between independently of and separately from? I understand them as synonyms.

Cole McCannon

teacher•

Yes, they are synonyms. They are both very rare, and mostly appear in written English, not so much in spoken English. Try reading academic papers to get an instinct for how to use them properly.
