Humor inglés: Mother's View





Mother's View 

As the family gathered for a big dinner together the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an army recruiter's office.

There were audible gasps around the table, then some laughter, as his older brothers shared their disbelief that he could handle this new situation.

"Oh, come on, quit joking," snickered one. "You didn't really do that, did you?"

"You would never get through basic training," scoffed another.

The new recruit looked to his mother for help, but she was just gazing at him.

When she finally spoke, she simply asked, "Do you really plan to make your own bed every morning?"

Humor inglés: BEWARE OF DOG!

El humor es una parte integral de la cultura Inglesa y del idioma Inglés. Leyendo y escuchando chistes, es más fácil entender y dominar el idioma y captar sus sutilezas. El humor depende en gran parte del patrimonio cultural de la nación, lo que significa que el humor americano puede ser muy diferente del Británico o, por ejemplo, el de Australia.






BEWARE OF DOG!

Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying "DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG!" posted on the glass door.

Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register.

He asked the store manager,

"Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?"

"Yep, that's him," he replied. The stranger couldn't help but be amused.

"That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?" "Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him."

Tu vs Tú


What is the difference between "Tu" with and accent mark on the "u" and "Tu" without an accent mark at all, and how do you know which to write in a situation?

Generally, tu only has an accent when used as a subject pronoun (you). When uses as a possessive adjetive (ie. your), it does not have an accent:

 y yo tenemos mucho que hacer .

No quiero que vayas solo .

You and I have a lot to do.

I wan't you go alone
¿Dónde está tu coche?
Piensa en tu mujer
Where is your car?
Think of your wife!
Tus cosas están en tu habitación.

Your things are in your room.
 vas a venir conmigo.
Sé lo que hago y los sabes bien
You are coming with me.

I know my stuff, and you know I know my stuff.(The majority of the time, subject pronouns are not used in Spanish)
