Prologo
Prologue
Las preposiciones inglesas son, quiza, uno de
los puntos ma's conflictivos del idioma ingles
para aquellos que quieran adquirir un completo
dominio de la lengua.
En muchos de los casos las preposiciones
inglesas no se corresponden con sus
homologas de otros idiomas.
• I am waiting for Peter.
• Estoy esperando a Pedro.
English prepositions are perhaps one of the
most difficult points of the English language for
those who want to acquire a thorough
knowledge of the language.
Very often English prepositions do not
correspond to their homologues in other
languages.
• I am waiting for Peter.
• Estoy esperando a Pedro.
En otros casos, en un idioma puede que haya
preposici6n mientras que en el otro idioma
no la hay.
• I saw James last night.
• Vi a Jaime ayer noche.
In other cases, there may be a preposition in
one language where there is no preposition in
the other language.
• I saw James last night.
• Vi a Jaime ayer noche.
Con los libros Guide to Prepositions y Using
Prepositions tratamos de proporcionar al
estudiante y al profesional de la traducci6n una
ayuda para facilitates su trabajo.
With the Guide to Prepositions and Using
Prepositions we provide students and
professionals with a practical tool to help them
in their work.
Sobre el uso de este libro
How to use this book
El libro Using Prepositions es un libro de
ejercicios, complementario del Guide to
Prepositions.
Encontramos que muy a menudo, las preposiciones en ingle's no se corresponden con las
espanolas. Por lo tanto, los estudiantes
encuentran difi'cil saber exactamente que
preposicion usar en una frase dada.
En este libro el estudiante encontrara cientos
de ejercicios que le ayudaran a dominar el
difi'cil arte del uso de las preposiciones.
Las mas conflictivas han sido agrupadas en la
primera parte del libro, siendo sus diferencias
explicadas con ejemplos.
En la segunda parte, todos los ejercicios estan
mezclados. El estudiante debe elegir que
preposicion usar basandose en el sentido de la
frase.
The book Using Prepositions is an exercise
book to complement Guide to Prepositions.
We find that, very often, prepositions in English
do not correspond to the Spanish ones.
Therefore, students find it very difficult to know
exactly which preposition to use in a given
sentence.
In this book students will find hundreds of
exercises to help them master the difficult art of
using prepositions.
The most confusing ones have been grouped
together in the first part of the book and their
differences explained with examples.
In the second part all the exercises have been
mixed together. The student must find which
preposition to use with only the context of the
sentence as a guide.
