¡Hola a todos!
Soy Georgiana. Mi objetivo es ayudarte a hablar inglés con fluidez y confianza.
Hoy aprenderás la diferencia entre tres términos parecidos: shout, yell y scream.
Después practicarás estas palabras con una historia divertida contada desde tres puntos de vista gramaticales distintos.
¡Genial! Empecemos.
Sé perfectamente que el inglés puede resultar confuso porque hay muchas palabras con significados muy parecidos.
Muchos estudiantes me han preguntado por la diferencia entre scream, shout y yell. La intensidad y la intención cambian de una palabra a otra. Shout y yell son muy parecidas, pero cuando alguien grita con enfado solemos usar yell más que shout. En la conversación cotidiana, shout es muy común y ambas suelen ser menos intensas que scream.
Con shout simplemente elevas mucho la voz, sin que tenga que haber una emoción concreta. Por ejemplo, puedes gritar para que alguien te oiga a distancia: "It's too noisy in here!" she shouted.
Scream, en cambio, suele implicar un sonido muy fuerte y agudo y está asociado con terror, pánico, rabia u otras emociones intensas. Puedes scream cuando tienes mucho miedo o estás extremadamente enfadado: "When he woke up and realized what had happened, he screamed in terror."
Veamos más ejemplos con yell, shout y scream: "She yelled out in pain." "I saw you and Jerry yelling at each other yesterday." "When Ann shouted for help, they were finally able to rescue her." "I overheard someone shouting, so I got closer to see what was happening." "She screamed with terror and caused both men to cover their ears." "He wanted to scream, but his vocal cords were paralyzed."

Once upon a time, on a small island in the middle of the ocean, there was a curious tribe called Tiny Ears.
The main characteristic of the tribe was that their ears didn't allow them to hear very well.
Because of their small ears, they had trouble understanding each other. However, the people at Tiny Ears were smart; they formulated an efficient communication system.
For regular conversations, they'd shout at each other. Of course, a tourist there would be stunned because even though they were at a short distance, they were shouting at the top of their lungs.
Although the shouting improved their communication considerably, there were many misunderstandings, and they were often angry and frustrated.
Later on, they stopped shouting at each other and started yelling at each other. The yelling was also part of their fascinating culture. They were very fearful people, but for a good reason. There were strange and dangerous creatures on the island that made even the bravest man tremble.
Naturally, when they discovered these creatures, they screamed in terror and began to flee as quickly as they could.
This was the story of the Tiny Ears tribe. Because of their small ears, they had to yell and shout at each other to communicate.

The main characteristic of the tribe will be that their ears won't allow them to hear very well because they'll have small ears.
Because of their small ears, they'll have a hard time understanding each other. However, the people at Tiny Ears will be smart; they'll formulate an efficient communication system.
