to be, have got
There is / There are
Present Simple
To be aditzak “izan / egon” eta batzuetan “eduki” esangura du. Orainaldian hiru forma ditu: am, is eta are. Horiek laburbildu egiten dira pertsona-izenordain subjektuarekin hitz egiterakoan. Ezezkoa osatzeko not partikula gehitzen zaie hiru forma horiei, edo n’t laburbildua is eta are formei. Galderetan aditza subjektuaren aurretik joaten da. Erantzun motzak pertsona-izenordain subjektuarekin eta to be aditzarekin osatzen dira, baiezkoak laburbiltzeke joango dira, eta ezezkoak not partikularekin laburbilduta.
Are they at the bank? No, they aren’t. They’re at the cinema. (Banketxean daude? Ez, zineman.)
Have got aditzak “eduki” esan nahi du, eta norbaitek edo zerbaitek duena adierazteko edo berorien ezaugarriak azaltzeko erabiltzen da. Baiezkoan bi forma ditu: have got eta has got. Ezezko formari not edo forma laburbildua n’t (haven’t / hasn’t) gehitzen zaio. Galderak osatzeko Have / Has + subjektua + got hurrenkera erabiltzen da. Erantzun motzetan pertsona-izenordain subjektua eta have / haven’t ala has / hasn’t erabiltzen dira, got gabe.
Have you got a pig? No, I haven’t, but I’ve got a rabbit. (Txerri bat daukazu? Ez, baina untxi bat dut.)
There is eta There are esamoldeek “dago” eta “daude” esangura dute. There is izen zenbakarri singularren edo zenbakaitzen aurrean joaten da. There are izen zenbakarri pluralen aurretik.
There is a snake in the desert. (Suge bat dago basamortuan.) There is cheese in the sandwich. (Gazta dago sandwichean.) There are books in the library. (Liburuak daude liburutegian.)
Ezezkoa osatzen da is eta are aditzei not partikula edo forma laburtua gehituz.

Galderak aditzarekin hasten dira, Is / Are kokatuz there aurretik. Erantzun motzetan ohiko hurrenkerara itzultzen gara, eta ezezko erantzunetan forma laburbilduak erabiltzen dira.
Is there beef on the menu? Yes, there is. / No, there isn’t. (Txahalik badago kartan? Bai. / Ez.)
Present Simple aditz-denbora erabiltzen da ohiturak eta egia orokorrak adierazteko, gustu, iritzi eta ordutegiei buruz hitz egiteko. Maiz, honako denbora-esamolde hauekin erabiltzen da: every day (egunero), at night (gauean), on + asteko eguna pluralean, etab. Esaldiaren hasieran edo bukaeran ager daitezke guztiak; bukaeran, hala ere, sarriago ikusiko ditugu. Maiztasun-adberbio hauek ere sarri erabiltzen dira: always (beti), usually (normalean), often (maiz), sometimes (batzuetan), rarely (gutxitan) eta never (inoiz ez).
I always play tennis with my brother. (Beti jokatzen dut tenisean nire anaiarekin.) Surfing is a water sport. (Surfa uretako kirola da.) I love strawberries. (Marrubiak ikaragarri gustatzen zaizkit.) The post office opens at 9.00. (Postetxea 9.00etan zabaltzen dute.)
Baiezko era aditzaren oinarrizko forma bezalakoxea da, to gabeko infinitiboa, singularreko 3. pertsonan izan ezik, honi -s gehitzen baitiogu, eta, batzuetan, aditzaren bukaeraren arabera, -es:

Present Continuous
Present Continuous aditz-aldiak adierazten du hitz egiteko unean nahiz une horren inguruan gertatzen ari dena. Sarritan, honako denbora-esamolde hauekin ikusiko dugu: at the moment (une honetan), now (orain), right now (oraintxe bertan), today (gaur), etab. Esamolde horiek guztiak esaldiaren hasieran nola bukaeran ager daitezke, bukaeran ohikoagoak izan arren.
Barry is swimming in the river. (Barry ibaian igeri egiten ari da.)
Baiezko era to be aditzaren orainaldiarekin + -ing bukaera daraman aditz batekin osatzen da. Honako kasu hauetan, -ing bukaera gehitzerakoan, ortografia-arau hauek jarraitu behar dira:
• e mutuaz amaituek e hori galtzen dute: arrive ➝ arriving
• Silababakarrekoek,amaieranbokala+kontsonanteadutenek,kontsonantehoribikoiztendute: put ➝ putting

• l batez amaitzen diren bi silabadunek, hizki hori bikoizten dute: travel ➝ travelling

Ezezko era osatzeko not partikula gehitzen zaie am, is eta are aditzei, edo n’t laburbildua is eta are formei.
Your sister isn’t wearing the red dress. (Zure arrebak ez darama soineko gorria.)
Galderak osatzeko, to be aditza + subjektua + -ing amaieradun aditz bat erabiliko ditugu. Baiezko erantzun motzetan, pertsona-izenordain subjektua eta jarraian am, is edo are erabiliko ditugu; ezezkoetan, ordea, is eta are laburbiduta joaten dira not partikularekin.
Is he playing tennis at the moment? Yes, he is. / No, he isn’t. (Tenisean jokatzen ari al da une honetan? Bai. / Ez.)

Present Simple eta Present Continuous aditz-denboren arteko aldea
Present Simple ohiko ekintzez hitz egiteko erabiltzen da; Present Continuous, kontrara, hitz egiteko unean gertatzen ari dena deskribatzeko.
I usually make pottery, but now I’m making a sculpture. (Normalean zeramika egiten dut, baina gaur eskultura bat egiten ari naiz.)
Denbora-esamoldeek lagunduko dute aditz-denbora bat bestearengandik bereizten.
Aditz “estatikoak”
Aditz estatikoak erabiltzen dira gustuak, sentimenduak eta desioak, buruko ekintzak, jabetza eta pertzepzioa adierazteko. Egoerak adierazten dituzte, eta ez ekintzak; horregatik, ez dira Present Continuous aldiarekin erabiltzen.

Nagusitasun konparaketa erabiltzen da bi gauza, animalia edo pertsona erkatzeko, batak bestea ezaugarriren batean gainditzen duela adieraziz. Egoki osatzeko, kontuan izan behar dugu darabilgun adjektiboaren luzera:
• Adjektibomotzei(silababakarrekoeiedoy bukaera duten bikoei) -er bukaera gehituko diegu, eta ondoren than partikula eramango du.

Past Simple
Past Simple aldia erabiltzen da iraganeko une zehatz batean gertatutakoa adierazteko eta gertakizunak iraganean kontatzeko. Horregatik, ekintza noiz gertatu zen adieraziko duen denbora-esamolderen bat egoten da esaldian: ago (orain dela) denbora-esamoldearen amaieran, yesterday (atzo), last month (joan den hilean), etab. Guztiak perpausaren hasieran nahiz bukaeran jar daitezke, baina ohikoagoak dira bukaeran.
I went to New York last month. (New Yorkera joan nintzen joan den hilean.)
Aditz erregularren Past Simple aldia aditzari -ed erantsiz osatzen da. Horretarako, ordea, arreta jarri behar zaie ortografia-arau hauei:
• Aditzae mutuaz amaitzen bada, -d gehituko diogu soilik: invite ➝ invited dance ➝ danced
• Kontsonantea + y amaieraduna bada, y hori i bilakatzen da: try ➝ tried cry ➝ cried
• Aditzasilababakarrekoabadaetabokala + w edo x ez den kontsonantea baditu amaieran, kontsonante hau bikoiztu egiten da:
plan ➝ planned stop ➝ stopped pero fix ➝ fixed
• Bisilabakoabadaetabigarrenaazentuduna,azkenkontsonanteabikoiztenda: prefer ➝ preferred pero listen ➝ listened
• l batez amaitzen bada, hizki hori bikoizten da: travel ➝ travelled
Aditz irregularrak desberdinak dira, eta buruz ikasi behar dira lehenaldiko formak (ikus 33-34 orriak).
Ezezko era aditzaren aurretik didn’t ezarriz osatzen da, eta berdina da singularreko nahiz pluraleko pertsona guztientzat.
Julie didn’t bring her passport. (Juliek ez zuen bere pasaportea ekarri.)
Galderak osatzeko, Did + subjektua + aditzoina da hurrenkera. Erantzun motzetan pertsona-izenordain subjektua + did / didn’t erabiliko dugu, erantzunaren arabera.
Did you live in Paris? Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t. (Parisen bizi izan zinen? Bai. / Ez.)

2. Everyone drink a lot of water on a hot day.
3. Max doesn’t know anything about computers. He give people advice.
4. You wear flip-flops at a wedding.
5. That dress is beautiful. You wear it for the party.
Aditz laguntzaileak dira; horrenbestez, oinarrizko forman doan (to gabeko infinitiboa) aditza daramate ondoan. Ez dira jokatzen, beraz, ez zaio 3. pertsona singularrari -s gehituko. Ezezko era osatzeko, aski da moduzko aditzari not partikula edo n’t laburtua gehitzea, eta galderak osatzeko moduzko aditza + subjektua + aditza oinarrizko forma dugu egitura.
• Should erabiltzen da aholkuak eman eta eskatzeko eta gure ustez egin behar litzatekeena edo behar ez litzatekeena adierazteko.
He should wear his new coat. (Bere beroki berria jantzi behar luke.)
• Must modalak “behar izan” esangura du, eta zerbait egitea beharrezkoa edo komenigarria dela adierazten du. You must wear formal clothes. (Arropa formala eraman behar duzu.)
• Mustn’t aldaerak debekua adierazten du, zerbait ez dagoela baimendua eta, baita ere, zerbait ezin dela egin, ez delako komenigarria edo zuzena egitea.
Girls mustn’t wear miniskirts at school. (Neskek ezin dute minigonarik eraman ikastetxera.)
• Can aditzak “jakin” esangura du, zerbait egiteko abildadeaz edo gaitasunaz ari garenean, eta “ahal izan”, posibilitateaz edo baimenaz ari garenean.
My sister can play the piano very well. (Nire ahizpak oso ondo daki pianoa jotzen.) You can find the gloves in many colours. (Kolore askotan topa ditzakezu eskularruak.)
• Could aditza can moduzkoaren lehenaldia da. Abildadea eta posibilitatea iraganean adierazten ditu. She could swim when she was four years old. (Bazekien igeri egiten lau urte zituela.) I couldn’t buy a tracksuit yesterday. (Ezin izan nuen txandalik erosi atzo gauean.) Galderetan ere erabiltzen da baimena edo mesedeak eskatzeko, baina can erabiltzea baino era jasoagoa da. Could you lend me your earrings for the party? (Utziko zenizkidake zure belarritakoak festarako?)
• Have to aditzak “behar izan” esan nahi du, eta, must bezalatsu, zerbait egiteko obligazioa edo beharra adierazten du. Euren arteko desberdintasuna da have to jokatu egiten dela; horregatik, 3. pertsona singularra desberdina da (has to) eta, gainera, must moduzkoak ez dituen aditz-denboretan erabiltzen da.
He has to finish his homework this afternoon. (Gaur arratsaldean bukatu behar ditu etxeko lanak.) It was late and they had to leave. (Berandu zen eta joan beharra zuten.)
Ezezko era osatzeko, don’t / doesn’t have to + aditza oinarrizko forman ezarriko dugu, eta “ez izan zertan”, “ez beharrik izan” esangura du.
You don’t have to dress like that. (Ez daukazu zertan horrela jantzi behar.)
Gogoan izan have to aditzak must moduzkoaren esanahi bera duela; baina don’t have to eta mustn’t ez dira baliokideak.
You don’t have to go. (Ez daukazu joan beharrik / zertan joan.)[ez da beharrezkoa] You mustn’t go. (Ezin zara joan.) [debekatua dago]
Galderak osatzeko hurrenkera honakoa da: Do / Does + subjektua + have to + aditza oinarrizko forman; eta erantzun motzetan, berriz, pertsona-izenordain subjektua + do / does ala don’t / doesn’t.
Do I have to wear a tie? Yes, you do. / No, you don’t. (Gorbata eraman behar al dut? Bai. / Ez.)

• Will etorkizuneko ekintzak eta gertaerak iragartzeko erabiltzen da, gure ustez gertatuko dena iragartzeko, eta bat-bateko erabakiak, hitz egiteko unean hartutakoak, antolatuta ez zeudenak adierazteko.
Baiezko eran, subjektuarekin laburbiltzen da (’ll), eta ezezkoan, berriz, not partikularekin (won’t). Galderetan subjektuaren aurrean joaten da, eta erantzun motzetan pertsona-izenordain subjektua + will ala won’t hurrenkera erabiliko dugu.
Tourists will travel in space in the future. (Turistek espazioan zehar bidaiatuko dute etorkizunean.) Will astronauts reach Mars soon? No, they won’t. (Astronautak laster iritsiko al dira Martera?)
• Be going to egiturak “aditzoina + -t(z)era noa” edo “aditzoina + etorkizuneko -ko + aditz laguntzailea” bezalako egiturak ditu baliokide euskaraz. Gure egitasmoei eta erabakiei buruz hitz egiteko eta zer gertatuko den adierazteko erabiltzen da, horretarako zantzuak baditugulako.
He is going to use a telescope. (Teleskopioa erabiliko du.) Is she going to have a baby? Yes, she is. / No, she isn’t. (Haurra izango al du? Bai. / Ez.)

Present Perfect Simple
Present Perfect Simple aldia honako hauetarako erabiltzen da:
• Oraindik ondorioak dituzten lehenaldiko ekintzak adierazteko.
We have bought new clothes. (Arropa berria erosi dugu.)
• Denboran zehar gertatutako ekintzak adierazteko, noiz zehazki adierazteke.
Mary has helped many people. (Maryk jende askori lagundu dio.)
• Lehenaldian hasi eta oraindik badirauten ekintzak adierazteko. Kasu honetan, for eta since partikulekin lagunduta joaten da, eta, batzuetan, orainaldian itzultzen da.
I haven’t stayed at a hotel since last summer. (Ez naiz hotel batean egon joan den udaz geroztik.)
• Ekintza burutu berriak. Orduan, just partikula kokatzen da subjektuaren eta partizipioaren artean.
I have just arrived at the bus stop. (Oraintxe iritsi berri naiz autobus-geltokira.)
Aditz-denbora hori have / has + aditz nagusiaren partizipioarekin osatzen da (-ed bukaeraduna erregularra bada; irregularra bada, 33-34 orrialdeetako zerrenda ikus dezakezu). Gogoan izan have laburtuta ’ve dela, eta has laburtuta ’s.
Ezezko era osatzeko not partikula edo n’t laburtua gehituko diegu have / has (haven’t / hasn’t) laguntzaileei.
I haven’t recycled anything this month. (Ez dut ezer birziklatu hil honetan.)
Galderak osatzeko, Have / Has + subjektua + aditz baten partizipioa erabiliko dugu. Eta erantzun motzetan pertsona-izenordain subjektua soilik + have / has edo haven’t / hasn’t.
Have you ridden your bike to school? Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t. (Bizikletaz joan zara eskolara? Bai. / Ez.)
Present Perfect Simple aditz-denborarekin honako denbora-esamolde eta adberbio hauek ikusiko ditugu: already (jada), always (beti), never (inoiz ez), ever (inoiz, egundaino [galderetan], inoiz ez [ezezkoetan]), just (oraintxe), recently (orain dela gutxi), yet (oraindik [ezezkoetan]; jada [galderetan]), for (denbora iraupena + -ean) eta since (-z geroztik). Yet, for eta since izan ezik, beste guztiak have / has eta partizipioaren artean joaten dira. Yet esaldiaren amaieran kokatzen da, recently ere amaieran kokatzen da, for ondoren denbora iraupena daramala erabiltzen da, eta since ekintza hasi zen unearen aurrean kokatzen da.
We have never cut down a tree. (Inoiz ez dugu zuhaitz bat moztu.) Have you arrived at the train station yet? (Iritsi zara tren-geltokira jada?)

Present Perfect Simple eta Past Simple aditz-denboren arteko aldea
Present Perfect Simple denborak adierazten du lehenaldian gertatutako ekintzek orainarekin lotura gordetzen dutela. Past Simple aditz-denborak adierazitako ekintzek, aldiz, ez diote orainaldiari eragiten.

Boz pasiboa orainaldian eta lehenaldian
Boz pasiboarekin aditzaren ekintza nabarmendu nahi da, eta ez ekintza gauzatu duen subjektua, hori ez delako garrantzitsua, bistakoa delako edo ezezaguna. Ingelesez asko erabiltzen da boz pasiboa, baina itzultzerakoan beste aukera batzuetara jo behar dugu (adibidez, subjektu inpertsonaletara, egitura aktiboetara…), euskaraz ez baita batere arrunta.
Baiezkoa osatzeko, to be erabiliko dugu orainaldian edo lehenaldian + aditz nagusiaren partizipioa (-ed erregularra bada, eta irregularra bada ikus 33-34 orrialdeak).
A battery is needed to use the mobile phone. (Bateria behar da telefono mugikorra erabiltzeko.)I was given a new camera yesterday. (Kamera berri bat eman zidaten atzo.)

Galderetan to be erabiliko da + subjektua + aditz nagusiaren partizipioa. Erantzun motzetan, pertsona-izenordain subjektua joango da lehenik, eta, gero, to be laguntzailea dagokion denboran; laburbiltzeke, baiezko kasuetan, eta not partikularekin laburbildua ezezkoetan.
Is a calculator permitted in exams? Yes, it is. / No, it isn’t. (Kalkulagailua erabiltzen uzten dute azterketetan? Bai. / Ez.)
