To add /tu æd/ significa añadir, agregar o sumar. Usamos este verbo cuando ponemos una cosa adicional con otra o cuando calculamos el total de varios números.
Este verbo se usa comúnmente de estas maneras:
- Add something to something — añadir o agregar una cosa a otra.
- Add some milk to the coffee. — “Agrega un poco de leche al café.”
- Add numbers — “sumar números”.
- Add five and three. — “Suma cinco más tres.”
- Add someone to a group or list — “agregar a alguien a un grupo o una lista”.
- She added me to the WhatsApp group. — “Ella me agregó al grupo de WhatsApp.”
- Add that + oración — “añadir algo más a lo que ya se dijo”.
- He added that he was tired. — “Él añadió que estaba cansado.”
Observa el orden en add something to something: primero decimos qué agregamos y después usamos to para indicar dónde lo agregamos. Por ejemplo: “Add the sugar to the water” (Agrega el azúcar al agua).
El verbo compuesto add up puede significar sumar varios números: “Add up these numbers” (Suma estos números). También usamos add up para decir que algo tiene sentido: “His story doesn’t add up” (Su historia no tiene sentido).
Add e include no significan exactamente lo mismo. Add describe la acción de poner algo adicional. Include indica que algo forma parte de un grupo, precio o conjunto: “Add breakfast to the reservation” (Agrega el desayuno a la reservación) y “The price includes breakfast” (El precio incluye el desayuno).
Add se pronuncia /æd/. La forma de tercera persona adds se pronuncia /ædz/, con sonido final /z/. Como el verbo termina con el sonido /d/, la terminación -ed se pronuncia /ɪd/. Por eso, added tiene dos sílabas y se pronuncia /ˈæ.dɪd/. El gerundio adding se pronuncia /ˈæ.dɪŋ/.
