(el sustantivo nombra...)Examples:Alex had a party in his house yesterday.The three nouns are highlighted with orange.A pronoun renames a noun.

Have should be has and the use would be that we utilize to have for possesions or obligations.This Blog is made with the purpose of learning English and should not be copied.Nota: Quiero resaltar que uno para hablar ingles necesita un balance entre sintaxis, uso, listening, vocabulary & pronunciation. Cada uno cumple su función cuando uno se comunica. Algunos alumnos tienen excelente gramática y tienen buenos resultados en los quizes es pero no hablan. No saben en que momento se utiliza o son muy tímidos porque tienen mala pron...
