Explicación:

Antonio: Hi Sylvia! What are you doing?

Sylvia: Hey Antonio! I’m writing a letter to my grandfather.

Aquí usamos presente continuo para hablar de lo que está haciendo Sylvia ahora mismo.

Antonio: Oh, that’s nice. Where does your grandfather live?

Sylvia: He lives in Texas. He’s retired now, so he spends most of his time playing golf.

Antonio: Do you have a big family?

Sylvia: Yes, I do. I have a lot of cousins.

Antonio: Where do they live?

Sylvia: All over the United States. American people usually move a lot. So I have cousins in New York, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Portland, Chicago, Las Vegas…

Antonio: That’s interesting. Do you like Las Vegas?

Sylvia: No, I don’t. It’s so ridiculous and artificial.

Todo eso está en presente simple, porque hablamos de hábitos y situaciones permanentes.

Antonio: Hm. And what do you think about New York?

Sylvia: New York is okay. It’s a big city, with people from all over the world.

Antonio: And do you enjoy living in Spain, Sylvia?

Enjoy + gerundio es un ejemplo de los verb patterns, un tema largo que he tratado en muchos artículos.

Sylvia: Yes, I do. I like Madrid a lot.

Antonio: Do you like Spanish food?

Sylvia: Yes, I do! I love the octopus from Galicia.

Antonio: Ah yes. I’m happy to hear that. Do you want to go have some dinner now? I know a place around the corner that makes some excellent Galician octopus!

Sylvia: Okay, but first I want to finish my letter.

Want + to + infinitivo es otro verb pattern.Tom: Hi Mary. How are you?

Mary: I’m fine. A bit hungry, actually.

Tom: Oh yeah. Can you cook?

Mary: No, I can’t. Can you?

Tom: Yeah, of course I can. I love cooking.

Hasta aquí hemos usado can y can’t para habilidades, y love + gerundio (otro verb pattern).

Mary: What’s your favorite dish?

Tom: My family is Italian, so I love making pasta. Lasagna, spaghetti, all kinds of pasta.

Mary: Oh, that’s nice. Can you also make pizza?

Tom: I can, but it’s a lot of work. I prefer to buy pizza.

Mary: I love Italian food.

Tom: You should come over for dinner sometime. I cook almost every day.

Mary: Sure, why not?

Aquí usamos a lot of para hablar de cantidades y también should para recomendaciones.
