¿SABES DECIR EN INGLÉS “TE ENCARGAS DE …” ?

Hay varias formas de decir en inglés “te encargas de …” según su contexto.

This is one that teachers hear all the time. ‘I am the responsible of marketing’. To say this correctly you have two options:
I am in charge of marketing

I am the marketing manager.

If you want to talk about your duties or obligations (but not your job title), you can say something like, ‘I am responsible for the monthly edition’.

Marge is responsible for marketing.

She is the purchasing manager.

We are in charge of the west coast branches.

Marge se encarga del marketing.

Ella es la directora de compras.

Llevamos los sucursales de la costa oeste.

UN ERROR EN INGLÉS ES UTILIZAR MAL EL GENITIVO SAJÓN

El error en inglés suele ser “The shoes of Maria” cuando debes decir “the Maria’s shoes”

This lesson is one that students see time and time again throughout their studies. The concept is often hard to remember. If we talk about possession, we use an ‘s at the end of a name: Jane’s book, Bob’s car…

If the name ends in S, you can just add an apostrophe: James’ toy.

Keep in mind that this is true for people, animals and time expressions (and sometimes places). Fort things, we don’t say ‘the bus’s wheels’; we would say ‘the wheels of the bus’.

Another common mistake with this structure comes from translating directly. We don’t use the article ‘the’ with the possessive. We DON’T say ‘The Sarah’s bag’.

Have you seen the singers’ costumes?

Mitch’s car is brand new.

My cousin’s accent is hard to understand.

¿Has visto los disfraces de los cantantes?

El coche de Mitch es totalmente nuevo.

El acento de mi primo es difícil de entender
