CAPELLANIA WETLAND

CAPELLANIA WETLAND


Watch the two Videos

 

  

 

Capellanía (Spanish: Humedal de Capellanía) is a wetland located in the municipality of Fontibón, part of the Wetlands of Bogotá, Colombia. Since 1995, it has been split into two due to the construction of the Avenida La Esperanza. This has caused rapid deterioration and the wetland is likely to disappear because of the industries that surround it, the current transportation projects of the area, and future developments approved by the district. The wetland covers 37 hectares (91 acres). 

A reserve for fauna and flora, the wetlands provide for the preservation and reproduction of a wide variety of mammals, reptiles and birds.

RELATIVES CLAUSES



RELATIVE CLAUSES or RELATIVE PRONOUNS


Relative clauses are clauses starting with the relative pronouns who*, that, which, whose, where, when. They are most often used to define or identify the noun that precedes them. (Utilizamos los pronombres relativos para referirnos a un sustantivo (una persona o una cosa) mencionado antes y al que queremos agregar más información o modificar. Algunos pronombres relativos se pueden usar sólo con personas, otros sólo con cosas y algunos con ambos).

1.            THAT: Que (persona, cosa)

“That” es el pronombre relativo más utilizado en inglés hablado, ya que se puede utilizar tanto con personas como con cosas. Se utiliza para sustituir “which”, “who” o “whom en cláusulas que definen el sustantivo.

 Ejemplos:

This is the book that won the Pulitzer prize last year. (Este es el libro que ganó el Permio Pulizer el año pasado.)

This is the restaurant that received the excellent reviews in the newspaper. (Este es el restaurante que recibió excelentes críticas en el periódico.)

 

2.  WHICH: que, cual (cosa)

“Which” sólo se puede utilizar con las cosas.

Ejemplos:

My new job, which I only started last week, is already very stressful. (Mi nuevo trabajo, que acabo de empezar la semana pasada, ya es muy estresante.)


The house in which we lived in when we were children burnt down last week. (La casa en la que vivíamos cuando éramos niños se quemó la semana pasada.)
 

3.     WHO: que, quien (persona)

Solo se puede utilizar “who” con personas.

Ejemplos:

My sister, who just moved in with me, is looking for a job. (Mi hermana, que se acaba de mudar conmigo, está buscando un trabajo.)


I never met someone who didn’t like music. (Nunca he conocido a alguien que no le guste la música.)

4.     WHOM: que, a quien (persona)

“Whom” se utiliza para hacer referencia al objeto indirecto del verbo, pero no lo utilizamos mucho en inglés coloquial. Más a menudo utilizamos “who” en vez de “whom”.

Ejemplos:

The woman with whom I was talking to was my cousin. (La mujer con quién estaba hablando era mi prima.)


This is Peter, whom I met at the party last week. (Este es Peter, a quien conocí en la fiesta la semana pasada.)

5. Whose: cuyo (persona, cosa)

El uso de “whose” indica posesión, tanto para las personas y las cosas.

Ejemplos:

That is the girl whose parents got divorced last year. (Esa es la chica cuyos padres se divorciaron el año pasado.)


Paul, whose wife just had a baby, will not be at work for a few weeks. (Paul, cuyo esposa acaba de tener un bebé, no irá a trabajar durante unas semanas.)

 

6. WHEN AND WHERE

Estos adverbios se refieren a expresiones de tiempo, lugares o motivos.

Ejemplos:

The university where I teach is an excellent school. (La universidad donde enseño es una escuela excelente.)


Can you tell me when is the best time to call? (¿Puedes decirme cuando es la mejor hora para llamar?)
