Worth expresa que algo merece la pena o cuánto vale. Lo importante para el hispanohablante es la forma que lo sigue: cuando hablas de una actividad que merece la pena, worth va con -ing, no con infinitivo: This film is worth watching, no "worth to watch". También sirve para valor económico (worth €200,000) y para el clásico worth it cuando el esfuerzo compensó.

Usos de worth

be worth + -ing (actividad que compensa): London is worth visiting.

be worth + nombre / it: It was worth the effort, it was worth it.

Valor: This house is worth €200,000.

worth of + cantidad/tiempo (con apóstrofo): a year's worth of work, €500 worth of fuel.

El error típico del hispanohablante

Worth lleva -ing, nunca infinitivo: worth trying, no "worth to try".
