Personal Pronouns (Pronomes Pessoais)

 Quanto ao gênero: masculino, feminino ou neutro;
 Quanto à função que cumprem nas sentenças: sujeito

simPle Future (Will)
O simple Future (Futuro Simples) é um tempo verbal 
usado para expressar ações futuras que irão ocorrer, ou 
seja, que ainda não aconteceram.
Ele pode indicar uma decisão que está sendo tomada 
no ato da fala. Além disso, pode expressar um pedido, uma 
promessa, um aviso, um convite e uma oferta.
Por esse motivo, algumas expressões de tempo são uti-
lizadas com esse tipo verbal, por exemplo:
 tomorrow (amanhã)
 soon (em breve)
 the day after tomorrow (depois de amanhã)
 next week (próxima semana)
 next month (próximo mês)
 next weekend (próximo final de semana)
 next year (próximo ano)
 in a few days (em poucos dias)
 in a short time (em um curto período de tempo)
 in hours (em horas)
No português, esse tempo verbal corresponde ao Futu-
ro do Presente do Modo Indicativo.
 A conjugação do simple future com o auxiliar will é 
fácil. Veja como conjugamos os verbos to walk .

adJectiVes (adJetiVos)
As palavras classificadas como adjetivos (adjectives) 
têmcomo finalidade qualificar, modificar e/ou definir 
um substantivo ou um pronome. Palavras como “empty” 
(vazio), “quicky” (rápido), “honest” (honesto), “attrative” 
Capítulo 4 - Simple future (will) INGLÊS
27
(atraente) e “cold” (frio) são alguns exemplos de adjetivos.
Na língua inglesa, os adjetivos possuem algumas carac-
terísticas quanto a posição ocupada na frase e quanto ao 
gênero e número, diferentes da língua portuguesa, são elas:
Os adjetivos são colocados antes dos substantivos que 
irão qualificar, modificar ou definir na frase. Por exemplo, 
na frase “I bought a small TV” o correto, em inglês, é utili-
zar o adjetivo “small” (pequena) antes do substantivo e não 
como no português “Eu comprei uma TV pequena”, onde o 
adjetivo aparece depois do substantivo.
Outros exemplos:
Português: Eu quero comprar um carro pequeno.
carro (substantivo) + pequeno (adjetivo)
inglês: I want to buy a small car. 
small (adjective) + car (noun)
Português: Minha irmã quer um vestido verde para ir 
à festa hoje.
vestido (substantivo) + verde (adjetivo)
inglês: My sister wants a green dress to go to the party 
today.
green (adjective) + dress (noun)
Os adjetivos são utilizados depois de verbos de ligação, 
ou seja, o adjetivo é ligado ao substantivo pelo verbo de 
ligação.
Exemplos:
Bob is a calm teacher. (Bob é um professor calmo)
Their brother is calm and shy. (O irmão deles é calmo e 
tímido)
Os adjetivos não apresentam diferença de gênero, ou 
seja, podem ser utilizados para ambos os sexos, permane-
cendo com a mesma grafia independente se a palavra for 
feminina ou masculina.
Exemplos:
The boy is blond. (O garoto é loiro)
The girl is blond. (A garota é loira)
Os adjetivos em inglês não variam quanto ao número, 
ou seja, não mudam conforme a quantidade e permane-
cem com a mesma grafia, mesmo com o substantivo no 
plural.
Exemplos:
Her cousin has a red car. (O primo dela tem um carro 
vermelho)
My red jackets are dirty. (Minhas jaquetas vermelhas 
estão sujas)

batman – the dark Knight, by christopher nolan
Expectations are high regarding the new adventure of 
Batman. Firstly, because the previous one was well received 
both by critics and fans with its dark, realistic mood. And 
also because the film presents the last screen performance 
of actor Health Ledger (Brokeback Mountain), deceased 
in January. He plays Joker, the villain who brings hell to 
Gotham City. To defeat him, Batman (Christian Bale) is 
helped by public attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), 
but they have conflicting ideas on how to combat crime. 
Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and Michael Cain play 
the same characters as they did before, while Maggie 
Gyllenhaal comes as a substitute to Kate Holmes in the 
hero’s search for romance.

In China the government is fighting to save a national 
symbol – the giant panda. There are very few pandas today 
and they are running a big risk of extinction. Pandas are 
vegetarian. They live in the mountains of central China, in 
forest of pines trees and bamboo. Pandas eat flowers, grass 
and sometimes small animals and honey. But bamboo is 
their main food. Because their digestive tracts extract little 
nutritive value from the plant, they consume enormous 
amounts, spending 50 to 75 percent of the day eating. A 
giant panda needs 20 kilos of bamboo a day, and he eats 
about 15 hours! Scientists are making a special study of the 
panda, its way of life, home and food. They are also trying 
to breed pandas in new zoos, and to grow different kinds 
of bamboo in special natural reserves for pandas. Man, 
the principal problem for animals, is starting to work with 
nature. But there isn’t much time. Are we doing enough to 
save wild animals?

immediate Future
immediate Future (be going to)  é usado para 
expressar um futuro próximo, algo que, com certeza, está 
prestes a acontecer ou que temos a intenção de fazer. Na 
Língua Inglesa, assim como no Português, pouco usamos 
o futuro do presente (consertará, levará, irá, trará, etc), que 
corresponde ao Simple Future. Na maioria das vezes damos 
preferência à construção vou consertar, vou levar, etc. Essa 
construção se faz com o be going to em Inglês. Observe 
suas formas e usos:
Formação e exemplos:
 affirmative Form: Sujeito + Verbo To Be + Going To + 
Infinitivo do Verbo Principal sem “to”.
Exemplo: I am going to go for a walk. 
(Eu vou dar uma caminhada/passeio)
 negative Form: Sujeito + Verbo To Be + not + Going 
To + Infinitivo do Verbo Principal sem “to”.
Exemplo: I am not to go for a walk. 
(Eu não vou dar uma caminhada/passeio)
 interrogative Form: Verbo To Be + Sujeito + Going To 
+ Infinitivo do Verbo Principal sem “to”.
Exemplo: am I going to go for a walk? 
(Eu vou dar uma caminhada/passeio?)

numbers (nÚmeros)
cardinal numbers
 Os números cardinais de um a doze em inglês 
têm cada um o seu nome próprio, sem seguir uma regra 
determinada. 
 A terminação –teen é adicionada a partir do número 
cardinal treze (thirteen) até o dezenove (nineteen).
 A partir do twenty, os números cardinais das dezenas 
recebem a terminação –ty. Todas seguem a mesma regra 
ao adicionarem-se unidades: trinta e três é thirty-three, 
quarenta e quatro é forthy-four e cinquenta e cinco é fifty-
five, por exemplo.
 A partir de cem (one hundred), são colocadas 
primeiro as centenas, depois as dezenas e depois as 
unidades. Trezentos e vinte e quatro (324) é three hundred 
and twenty-four, por exemplo. Para mil, milhão e bilhão, 
segue-se a mesma regra: mil duzentos e trinta e cinco 
(1235) é one thousand two hundred and five, e assim por 
diante.

ordinal numbers
 Os números ordinais de primeiro (1º) a décimo 
segundo (12º) só não tem regra nos três primeiros: o first 
(primeiro), second (segundo) e third (terceiro). No restante, 
é adicionadaa terminação –th para indicar ordem, como 
em fourth (quarto), fifth (quinto) e sixth (sexto).
 Do décimo terceiro (13º) a décimo nono (19º) seguem 
também a regra de adição da terminação –th: thirteenth 
(décimo terceiro), fourteenth (décimo quarto) e fifteenth 
(décimo quinto).
 A partir do twentieth (vigésimo) recebem 
a terminação –ieth. Para aumentá-los, as dezenas 
permanecem na mesma forma dos cardinais e apenas as 
unidades entram na forma ordinal: vigésimo quarto (24º) é 
twenty-fourth (24th).
 A partir do centésimo (100º), coloca-se apenas o 
último número na forma ordinal: centésimo vigésimo 
(120º) é one hundred twentieth (120th), octigentésimo 
vigésimo nono (829º) é eight hundred twenty-nineth 
(829th), por exemplo. O mesmo vale para os números a 
partir do milésimo (thousandth), milionésimo (milionth), 
bilionésimo (billionth) e assim por diante.

Fractions (FraÇÕes)
Fração é uma representação matemática para partes de 
um todo. Numericamente, é representada por um núme-
ro sobre outro, separados por um traço. A parte de cima é 
o numerador e a parte de baixo é o denominador. O traço 
que divide é chamado de slash.
 Quanto à leitura das frações, existem algumas manei-
ras de fazê-la em inglês. A regra geral é a seguinte: o nume-
rador é o próprio número, em forma cardinal e o denomi-
nador é lido de forma ordinal. Caso o numerador seja maior 
que 1, o denominador vai para o plural:
1/3 one third
3/4 three fourths
5/6 five sixths
3/2 three halves
A exceção fica por conta de 1/2 que se diz one half ou 
a half (literalmente, uma metade). Se for 2/2, pode-se dizer 
two halves (duas metades). Halves é plural de half. 
Percentages (Porcentagens)
5% five percent
25% twenty-five percent
36.25% thirty-six point two five percent
100% one hundred percent
400% four hundred percent

Years (anos)
Para manter a ordem, vamos começar com o ano 1, que

uem a mesma lógica: 2, (the year) two; 3, (the year) three; 
4, (the year) four; 5, (the year) five; 6, (the year) six; etc.
Quando chegamos no 100, dizemos “one hundred“. 
O mesmo vale para 200 (two hundred), 300 (three hun-
dred) e assim por diante. Só muda quando temos de falar, 
por exemplo, 235, que nesse caso será “two thirty-five“. Ou 
seja, você lê o primeiro número como se estivesse só – two 
– e os outros dois juntos – thirty-five. Outros exemplos:
178 (the year) one seventy-eight
356 (the year) three fifty-six
968 (the year) nine sixty-eight
Como esses anos são poucos lembrados por nós, vamos 
para os anos mil: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, etc. Esses serão 
lidos como números normais, isto é, (the year) one thou-
sand, (the year) two thousand, (the year) three thousand, 
(the year) four thousand, etc. Até aqui nada demais! Porém, 
ao chegarmos aos anos seguintes até os terminados com 
09 devemos ler assim:
1004 (the year) one thousand (and) four
2002 (the year) two thousand (and) two
2009 (the year) two thousand (and) nine
Ou seja, leia-os como se fossem números normais e lem-
bre-se que você poderá dizer “and” ou não. Fica a seu cri-
tério. Preste atenção, porém, quando chegar a anos como 
1100, 1200, 1500, 1800, 1900. Ou seja, no caso de anos que 
terminam com 00, você terá de dizer assim:
1100 (the year) eleven hundred
1300 (the year) thirteen hundred
1800 (the year) eighteen hundred
Note que o 00 é pronunciado como “hundred“. Outra 
curiosidade a ser observada aqui é com os anos como 1201, 
1302, 1404, 1505, 1608, etc. Com esses anos você deverá 
dividi-los em duas partes e dizer assim:
1206 (the year) twelve oh six
1504 (the year) fifteen oh four
1901 (the year) nineteen oh one
Observe que nesses casos a segunda parte deverá ser 
dita assim “oh one” (01), “oh two” (02), “oh three” (03), etc. 
Ou seja, o zero deverá ser pronunciado como /ou/. Não 
confunda as coisas, por favor. Veja só as diferenças:
1504 fifteen oh four
1708 seventeen oh eight
2004 two thousand (and) four
Depois desses, vale aprender os restantes. Portanto, 
anote aí que para dizer 1976, por exemplo, você terá de 
dividir o número em duas partes – 19|76 – e dizê-las em 
separado: “nineteen seventy-six” (literalmente, dezenove 
setenta e seis). O mesmo vale para os demais anos:
1999 19 | 99 (the year) nineteen ninety-nine
1982 19 | 82 (the year) nineteen eighty-two
1758 17 | 58 (the year) seventeen fifty-eight
1496 14 | 96 (the year) fouteen ninety-six
1243 12 | 43 (the year) twelve forty-three

the sun and the moon
The sun is a star. It’s a ball of fire. The moon is rocky and 
hard. It’s not hot. The sun sends out light, but the moon 
doesn’t. In fact, the moon reflects the light. 
The moon is about 240.000 miles away from us; the sun 
is 93 million miles; that’s why the moon looks almost as 
large as the sun.

substantiVos contáVeis e incontáVeis
Os substantivos podem ser classificados em contáveis 
(countable) e incontáveis (uncountable). Nos dicionários 
podemos encontrar a indicação n[c (countable noun)] 
para os contáveis e n[u (uncountable nouns)] para os 
incontáveis.
substantivos contáveis - countable nouns
Os countable nouns são os nomes de objetos, 
pessoas, ideias, lugares, animais, etc. que em inglês podem 
ser contados, enumerados, representando a maioria dos 
substantivos. Esses substantivos são utilizados tanto na 
forma singular como no plural.
No singular, podem vir precedidos de números, de 
artigo definido the, de artigos indefinidos a/an e de 
pronomes no singular (this, that, my, your, etc).
No plural, podem vir precedidos de diversos pronomes 
como some, many, a lot of, few, these, those, my, their, etc.
Por exemplo:
a newspaper (um jornal) two newspapers (dois jornais)
a key (uma chave) those keys (aquelas chaves)
an idea (uma ideia) your ideas (suas ideias)
one bottle (uma garrafa) two bottles (duas garrafas) 
a man (um homem) these men (estes homens)
one house (uma casa) a lot of houses (muitas casas)
a cat (um gato) some cats (alguns gatos)
substantivos incontáveis - uncountable nouns
Os uncountable nouns (ou Mass Nouns) representam 
um grupo menor de substantivos. Eles denotam uma 
substância homogênea, isto é, coisas que percebemos 
mais como uma massa do que como um ou vários objetos 
isolados, ou uma ideia abstrata que, em inglês, não permite 
subdivisões.
Esses substantivos, portanto, não podem ser contados, 
enumerados, tendo a mesma forma para o singular e para 
o plural. Ainda que o sentido seja plural, o verbo com o qual 
concordam também vai ficar sempre no singular. Exemplos:
water (água) air (ar)
salt (sal) snow (neve)
money (dinheiro) evidence (evidência)
music (música) proof (prova)
permission (permissão) weather (tempo meteorológico)
jewerly (joias) eletricity (eletricidade)
ink (tinta para escrever ou para imprimir) 
housework (serviço doméstico)
a glass of water (e não one water)
 Não podemos dizer one water, three salts, two 
moneys, five musics.
Capítulo 6 - SubStantivoS ContáveiS e inContáveiS ComparativoINGlÊS
40
 Os substantivos incontáveis nunca são precedidos 
pelos artigos indefinidos a/an: 
a water a money a salt an ink
 Os substantivos incontáveis frequentemente indicam:
 substância - food (comida), iron (ferro), water (água)
 atividades - help (ajuda), travel (viagem), work 
(trabalho)
 qualidades humanas - courage (coragem), cruelty 
(crueldade), honesty (honestidade)
 ideias abstratas - beauty (beleza), freedom 
(liberdade), life (vida), luck (sorte), time (tempo)
Se você quiser quantificar essas coisas incontáveis, pode 
usar expressões como:
a cup of coffee (uma xícara de café)
a dash of salt (uma pitada de sal)
a glass of water (um copo de água)
a little bit of snow (um pouco de neve)
a lot of homework (muita lição de casa)
a piece of fruit (um pedaço de fruta)
a spoon of sugar (uma colher de açúcar)
little time (pouco tempo)

O grau comparativo é utilizado para estabelecer uma 
relação de comparação entre dois seres, tempos, lugares, 
objetos, etc. Essa comparação pode ser de superioridade, 
colocando um acima do outro, quando um é mais alguma 
coisa do que o outro. Para fazer essa comparação de 
superioridade na língua inglesa, é necessário seguir 
algumas regras:
 Quando o adjetivo é uma palavra longa, para fazer 
uma comparação acrescenta-se a palavra more antes do 
adjetivo:
 expensive (caro) – more expensive (mais caro)
Ex.: Honda Civic is more expensive than Uno. 
 (O Honda Civic é mais caro do que o Uno.)
 beautiful (bonita) – more beautiful (mais bonita)
Ex.: Fernanda is more beautiful than Vanessa. 
 (Fernanda é mais bonita do que a Vanessa.)
 Quando o adjetivo é uma palavra pequena, curta, 
como regra geral acrescentamos -er. Esse -er significa 
“mais”:
 strong (forte) – stronger (mais forte)
Ex.: Rafaela is stronger than Mariana. 
 (Rafaela é mais forte do que Mariana.)
 young (jovem) – younger (mais jovem)
Ex.: My little sister is younger than me. 
 (Minha irmãzinha é mais nova do que eu.)
 O acréscimo do sufixo –er aos adjetivos obedece a 
algumas regras: 
 De modo geral, todos os adjetivos monossílabos 
recebem o sufixo -er:
taller than (mais alto que)
smaller than (menor que)
older than (mais velho que)
younger than (mais novo que, mais jovem que)
 Nos adjetivos terminados em -y, precedidas de vogal 
adicionamos apenas a terminação -er:
grey = greyer than (mais cinza do que)
gay = gayer than (mais alegre do que)
Capítulo 6 - SubStantivoS ContáveiS e inContáveiS Comparativo INGLÊS
43
 Nos adjetivos terminados em -y, precedidas de 
consoante, retire o -y e acrescente -ier:
easy = easier than (mais fácil que)
rainy = rainier than (mais chuvoso que)
happy = happier than (mais feliz que)
shy = shier than (mais tímido que)
 Nos adjetivos terminados em uma sequência de 
consoante+vogal+consoante, dobre a última consoante 
e acrescente -er:
hot = hotter than (mais quente que)
big = bigger than (maior que)
wet = wetter than (mais molhado que)
sad = sadder than (mais triste que)
 Alguns adjetivos possuem formas especiais:
good = better than (melhor que)
bad = worse than (pior que)
far = farther than / further than (mais longe que)

Who sleeps?
Reptiles, birds and mammals all sleep. Some fish and 
amphibians reduce their awareness but do not ever be-
come unconscious like the higher vertebrates do. Insects 
do not appear to sleep, although they may become inac-
tive in daylight or darkness.
By studying brainwaves, it is known that reptiles do 
not dream. Birds dream a little. Mammals all dream during 
sleep. Whales and dolphins are “conscious breathers” and 
because they need to keep conscious while they sleep in 
order to breath, only one half of their brain sleeps at a time.
glossarY:
awareness = consciência

Verb to be (present)
O verbo “to be” pode expressar dois significados: ser ou 
estar. Logo, tanto para dizer que eu sou uma professora (I 
am a teacher), quanto para dizer que eu estou na escola (I 
am at school), deve-se utilizar o verbo “to be”.
 O verbo “to be” no presente se conjuga em  “am”, 
“is” e “are”. 
Ex.: You are a student. (Você é um aluno).
We are friends. (Nós somos amigos).
 Para a forma negativa, basta acrescentar “not” após o 
verbo “to be” (am, is, are):
Ex.: We are not nurses. (Nós não somos enfermeiras).
I am not your teacher. (Eu não sou sua professora).
 Para a forma interrogativa, basta inverter o verbo 
“to be” (am, is, are), colocando-o no início da frase:
Ex.: Is she your sister? (Ela é sua irmã?)
Are you my classmate? (Você é meu colega de classe?)

simPle Present X Present ProgressiVe
O Simple Present é usado para expressar hábitos diários 
ou atividades costumeiras. Além disso, podemos usar o 
Simple Present para expressar afirmações gerais ou fatos. 
Mais uma função que cabe a esse tempo verbal é que ele 
pode ser empregado para situações ou condições atuais, 
do passado ou até mesmo do futuro. Alguns exemplos de 
frases:
I take a shower every day. (Eu tomo banho todo dia.)
Bob usually eats lunch at the cafeteria. (Bob geralmente 
almoça na lanchonete.)
The sun shines. (O sol brilha.)
The earth revolves around the sun. (A Terra gira em 
torno do sol.)
O Present Progressive, por outro lado, expressa uma 
atividade que esteja em andamento (está ocorrendo) bem 
agora. O evento está em progresso no momento exato em 
Capítulo 7 - Simple preSent / adverbS of frequenCy / preSent progreSSiveINGlÊS

que comentamos sobre ele. O evento ocorreu no passado, 
está em andamento agora e provavelmente continuará no 
futuro.
Jack can’t come to the phone right now because he is 
taking a shower. (Jack não pode atender o telefone nesse 
momento, pois está tomando um banho.)
It’s noon. Bob is eating lunch at the cafeteria right now. 
(São meio dia. Bob está almoçando na lanchonete nesse 
momento.)
It’s a nice day today. The sun is shining. (Hoje é um belo

adVerbs oF FrequencY (adVÉrbio de Frequência)
Como o próprio nome já diz, os adverbs of frequency 
(advérbios de frequência), também chamados de frequency 
adverbs, indicam com que frequência determinada ação 
acontece.
Observe a tabela abaixo e conheça os principais 
advérbios de frequência em inglês, leia a tradução para 
entender o que significam.
always sempre
frequently – often frequentemente
sometimes – occasionally algumas vezes
usually geralmente
seldom – rarely – hardly ever raramente
never nunca
 Posição dos advérbios de frequência na frase:
 O posicionamento dos adverbs of frequency em 
uma frase, está condicionado ao tipo de verbo que ela 
contém.
Frase com verbo to be:
Quando o verbo principal da frase é o verbo to be, o 
advérbio de frequência deve ser utilizado após o verbo.
Exemplos:
 She is usually at the gym at this time. (Ela geralmente 
está na academia a essa hora.)
 We are always tired. (Nós sempre estamos cansados.)
 I am never late. (Eu nunca estou atrasado.)
Frase com outro verbo que não o to be:
Quando o verbo principal da frase é qualquer outro 
verbo que não o verbo to be, o advérbio é posicionado 
depois do verbo.
Exemplos:
 He rarely visits his cousins. (Ele raramente visita os 
primos dele.)
 She frequently asks about you. (Ele pergunta por você 
frequentemente.)
 They hardly ever study for the exams. (Eles quase 
nunca estudam para as provas.)
Frase com verbo composto
Em frases com verbos compostos, o advérbio deve ser 
utilizado imediatamente depois do primeiro elemento da 
forma verbal.
Exemplos:
 He has never been to Italy. (Ele nunca esteve na Itália.)
 She has often been compared to her mother. (Ela 
frequentemente é comparada com a mãe dela.)
 They have occasionally visited me on weekends. (Eles 
me visitaram ocasionalmente aos fins de semana.)
Frase com verbo modal
Quando a frase possui um verbo modal, o advérbio de 
frequência deve ser posicionado depois dele.
Exemplos:
 She can never remember their anniversary. (Ela nunca 
consegue lembrar do aniversário de casamento deles.)
 You should always let your parents know where you 
are. (Você sempre deve informar seus pais de onde você 
está.)
 He may seldom find her at home at this time. (Ele 
raramente deve encontrá-la em casa a essa hora.)

read the extract and answer questions 09, 10 and 11.
Dolphins have become a popular attraction at zoos in 
recent years. They are more interesting than lions and tigers 
because they are livelier and perform tricks, like circus 
animals. But although they are more willing to cooperate 
with the trainer than other mammals in captivity, they get 
bored if they are asked to do the same trick twice. This is 
one reason for believing that they are very intelligent.

adVerbs (adVÉrbios)
Os advérbios servem para modificar os verbos, dizendo 
a maneira, o tempo ou o lugar onde a ação ocorre. 
Exemplo: They were extremely happy. 
(Eles estavam extremamente felizes)
A palavra “extremamente” diz qual era o estado (manei-
ra) deles. Portanto, é um advérbio. Muitos advérbios são 
formados apenas adicionando o sufixo -ly em um adjetivo, 
como successfully (com sucesso), quickly (rapidamente).
Em alguns casos, o advérbio é exatamente igual ao 
adjetivo correspondente: earlY, late, Fast, Hard.
I’m afraid the train will leave late.
He runs very fast.
A forma adverbial do adjetivo good é Well.
 Michael is a very good cook. 
 He makes cakes particularly well.
Como saber, então, quando usar adjetivo ou advérbio?
 Adjetivos que se referem ao substantivo:
Beth is a careful driver. (Beth é uma motorista cuidadosa.)
 Advérbios que se referem ao verbo:
 Beth drove carefully. (Beth dirigiu cuidadosamente.)
Agora, compare este outro exemplo:
 adjetivo + substantivo
 He speaks perfect Portuguese. 
 (Ele fala Português perfeito.)
 verbo + objeto + advérbio
 He speaks Portuguese perfectly. 
 (Ele fala Português perfeitamente.)
 Note que o adjetivo e o verbo precisam de atenção 
nesses casos para que não haja confusão!
 Os advérbios de tempo (today, yesterday, etc.) e os 
de lugar (here, there) são escritos geralmente no final das 
frases. Exemplos:
 She was studying yesterday. (Ela estava estudan-
do ontem.)
 I live there. (Eu moro lá.)
 Já os advérbios de frequência (always, often, never, 
sometimes, already, etc.) são escritos antes do verbo prin-
cipal, mas sempre após o verbo auxiliar. Exemplos:
 He is sometimes smiling. (Ele está algumas ve-
zes sorrindo.)
 They don´t usually sleep early. (Eles geralmente não 
dormem cedo.)
 Quando há vários advérbios numa mesma frase, 
geralmente são escritos no final dela, mas obedecem uma

 She walked slowly to school last week.

suPerlatiVe (suPerlatiVo)
Usa-se o superlativo toda vez que queremos expressar 
a qualidade de um adjetivo no seu mais alto grau. Não há 
comparações com outros seres, uma vez que a intenção é 
intensificar uma determinada característica.
 Quando o adjetivo é longo, para fazer o superlativo 
acrescenta-se the most antes do adjetivo:
 expensive (caro) – the most expensive (o mais caro)
Ex.: Diesel is the most expensive jeans in the mall. 
 (Diesel é o jeans mais caro do shopping.)
 beautiful (bonita) – the most beautiful (a mais bonita)
Ex.: Gisele is the most beautiful top model. 
 (Gisele é a modelo mais bonita.)
 Quando o adjetivo é uma palavra pequena, curta, 
como regra geral acrescentamos -est. Esse -est significa 
“mais” acompanhado do artigo the, que significa “o” ou “a”.
 strong (forte) – strongest (mais forte)
Ex.: Hercules is the strongest man in the world. 
 (Hércules é o homem mais forte do mundo.)
 young (jovem) – youngest (mais jovem)
Ex.: Joan is the youngest in my house. 
 (Joan é a mais nova lá em casa.)
 O acréscimo do sufixo –est aos adjetivos obedece a 
algumas regras: 
 De modo geral, todos os adjetivos monossílabos 
recebem o sufixo -est:
the tallest (o mais alto)
the smallest (o menor)
the oldest (o mais velho)
the youngest (o mais novo, o mais jovem)
 Nos adjetivos terminados em -y, precedidas de vogal 
adicionamos apenas a terminação -est:
grey = the greyest (o mais cinza)
gay = the gayest (o mais alegre)
 Nos adjetivos terminados em -y, precedidas de 
consoante, retire o -y e acrescente -iest:
easy = the easiest (o mais fácil)
rainy = the rainiest (o mais chuvoso)
happy = the happiest than (o mais feliz)
shy = the shiest than (o mais tímido)
 Nos adjetivos terminados em uma sequência de 
consoante+vogal+consoante, dobre a última consoante 
e acrescente -est:
hot = hottest (o mais quente)
big = biggest (o maior)
wet = wettest (o mais molhado)
sad = saddest (o mais triste)
 Alguns adjetivos possuem formas especiais:
good = the best (o melhor)
bad = the worst (o pior)
far = the farthest / the furthest (o mais longe)

conJunctions (conJunÇÕes)
Conjunções são palavras que ligam duas orações ou ter-
mos semelhantes, dentro de uma mesma oração. 
coordinating conjunctions  ligam duas palavras ou 
duas orações independentes (independent clauses), mas 
devem sempre ligar elementos com a mesma estrutura 
gramatical, por exemplo: subject + subject; verb phrase + 
verb phrase; sentence + sentence; clause + clause. 
Uma  coordinating conjunction  geralmente posiciona-
-se  entre as orações  e, antes dela, usamos vírgula (caso 
as orações sejam muito pequenas e possuam o mesmo 
sujeito, a vírgula não é necessária). 
Na língua inglesa há sete conjunções coordenadas e 
existe um acrônimo que pode ajudá-lo a se lembrar de cada 
uma:
FanboYs = For, and, nor, but, or, Yet, so
Conjunção Indicação / Função
F FOR explicação
A AND adição
N NOR liga duas alternativas negativas
B BUT oposição, contraste 
O OR alternância 
Y YET oposição, ressalva 
S SO mostra que a segunda ideia é o 
resultado da primeira
 and (e): une e acrescenta elementos e ideias a uma 
frase.
He lives in Cambridge, and (he)* studies at Harvard 
University. (Ele mora em Cambridge e estuda na Universi-
dade de Harvard.)
We stayed at home and (we)* watched television. (Nós 
ficamos em casa e assistimos televisão.)
*Quando a coordinating conjunction “and” liga dois ver-
bos que possuem o mesmo sujeito, não é necessário repe-
ti-lo. Isso também ocorre com artigos, pronomes, prepo-
sições e outras expressões. Observe os exemplos abaixo:
She sings and she plays the violin. → She sings and 
plays the violin.
He plays tennis and he plays football. → He plays 
tennis and football.
Capítulo 9 - Conjunções simple past INGLÊS
63
 Podemos usar vírgula (,) diante de and quando esta 
conjunção for usada para adicionar o último item de uma 
lista ou série. Esse tipo de construção é bastante comum no 
Inglês, contudo a série deve conter pelo menos três itens. 
Quando a construção não for longa, o uso da vírgula tam-
bém é facultativo. Observe os exemplos abaixo:
You had a holiday at Christmas, at New Year  and  at 
Easter.  (Neste caso, não é necessário usar vírgula, pois os 
ítens da série não são longos.)
I spent yesterday playing cricket, listening to jazz re-
cords, and talking about the meaning of life.
Claudia spent her summer studying basic math, writing, 
and reading comprehension.
Observe que, nestes dois últimos exemplos, os itens 
são maiores, portanto a vírgula pode ser usada.
 but (mas) – sugere contraste entre ideias.
Grace was a serious woman, but a very sensitive person. 
(Grace era uma mulher séria, mas uma pessoa muito sensível.)
My sofa isn’t very soft, but  it›s comfortable. (Meu sofá 
não é muitomacio, mas é confortável.)
  but é uma conjunção adversativa, ou seja, expressa 
um  contraste. Assim como  and, usaremos  vírgula  (,) an-
tes de  but  quando ela ligar duas orações independentes 
(independent clauses) que sejam longas. Observe que, 
mesmo quando as orações possuem o mesmo sujeito, 
pode ocorrer vírgula diante de but se as orações são longas. 
Compare os exemplos:
 She had very little to live on, but she would never 
have dreamed of taking what was not hers. (Aqui, embora 
o sujeito das duas orações seja o mesmo, a vírgula é usada, 
pois as orações são longas.)
 She was poor but she was honest. (As orações são 
curtas e o sujeito é o mesmo, assim não se faz obrigatório 
o uso da vírgula.)
obserVaÇÃo: Além de significar mas ou po-
rém, but também pode significar exceto:
 Everybody but Robert is trying out for the team. (To-
dos, exceto Roberto, estão competindo para ficar no time)
 I had no choice but to sign the contract. (Eu não 
tinha escolha, exceto assinar o contrato.)
 
 or (ou): indica alternância ou exclusão:
I could cook some supper, or we could order a pizza. (Eu 
poderia fazer uma janta ou nós poderíamos pedir uma pizza.)
Do you want to go out, or are you tired? (Você quer sair, 
ou está cansado?)
 
 so (assim, portanto, por isso): Expressa o que acon-
tece / aconteceu / acontecerá em razão de alguma coisa:
 My grandmother was sick, so she went to the doctor. 
(Minha avó estava doente, por isso foi ao médico.)
It was raining, so I took my umbrella. (Estava chovendo, 
então peguei meu guarda-chuva.)
 A conjunção so também é usada no início de orações 
para introduzir algo novo, significando «então”:
so, the judge removed the child from the custody of his 
parents. (Então, o juiz tirou dos pais a custódia da criança.)
 For: A função da conjunção  for  é  introduzir uma 
explicação. Nestes casos, for é sinônimo de because. Hoje 
em dia, o uso de for neste sentido é usado, na maioria das 
vezes, na escrita literária. Observe os exemplos:
Eric thought he had a good chance to get the job in the 
company, for his father was one of the owners. (Eric achou 
que tinha grande chance de conseguir o emprego na com-
panhia, pois seu pai era um dos donos.)
We listened eagerly, for he brought news of our families. 
(Escutamos avidamente, já que ele trouxe notícias de nos-
sas famílias.)
 nor: A conjunção nor liga duas alternativas negativas 
e é usada, na maioria das vezes, com neither e not. Veja:
 That is neither what I said nor what I meant. (Isto não 
foi o que eu disse nem o que eu quis dizer.)
 She seemed neither surprised nor worried. (Ela não 
parecia nem surpresa nem preocupada.)
  nor  também é usado antes de um verbo positivo 
concordando com algo negativo que recém foi dito:
She doesn’t like them nor does Jeff. [Ela não gosta deles 
e nem o Jeff (gosta deles).]
A: I’m not going. (Eu não vou.)
B: nor am I. (Eu também não.)
 Yet (contudo, mas não obstante, porém, no en-
tanto): indica oposição, ressalva:
He has a good job, and yet he never seems to have any 
money. (Ele tem um bom emprego, e apesar disso parece 
que nunca tem dinheiro.)
John plays basketball very well, yet his favorite sport is 
tennis.  (João joga basquete muito bem, contudo seu es-
porte favorito é tênis.)
obserVaÇÃo: Como conjunção, yet sempre aparece 
no início da oração.

It is not very common for a person to be hit by lightning, 
so imagine someone being hit seven times. That was exact-
ly what happened to the American Roy Sullivan, between 
1944 and 1977 and the most incredible thing is that in all of 
these accidents he only suffered slight burns. In 1983, how-
ever, Roy committed suicide after a romantic relationship 
failed. Life, huh?

PossessiVe adJectiVes (adJetiVos PossessiVos)
Os adjetivos possessivos (possessive adjectives) são 
palavras que têm a função de modificar um substantivo 
indicando propriedade ou posse. Por exemplo, “This book 
is her book” (Este livro é o livro dela) o adjetivo possessivo 
“her” (dela) está especificando que o livro pertence a ela. Na 
Língua Inglesa os adjetivos possessivos são:
Capítulo 10 - possessive adjeCtives INGLÊS

subJect
Pronouns
PossessiVe 
adJectiVes
I my meu, meus, minha, minhas
You your sua, seu
He his dele
She her dela
It its dela, dele 
(coisas ou animais)
We our nosso, nossos, nossa, nossas
You yours suas, seus
They their delas, deles
Outros exemplos de como usar o adjetivo possessivo:
They don’t want to spend all their money on the proj-
ect. (Eles não querem gastar todo o dinheiro deles no pro-
jeto)
 Are these your shoes? They are beautiful. (Esses são 
seus sapatos? Eles são bonitos)
 These men are my brothers, they are beautiful. (Estes 
homens são meus irmãos, eles são lindos)
 Julia lives with her mother.  (Julia mora com a mãe 
dela)
 That’s my father’s cigar. (Aquele charuto é do meu pai)
 Os adjetivos possessivos, na língua inglesa, apresen-
tam algumas características quanto a ao número e gênero:
 Os adjetivos possessivos não se diferenciam em nú-
mero, ou seja, não apresentam plural.
Exemplos:
This is our pen. (Esta é nossa caneta)
These are our pens. (Estas são nossas canetas)
That is my magazine. (Aquela revista é minha)
Those are my magazines. (Aquelas são minhas revistas)
 E os adjetivos possessivos não se diferenciam em gê-
nero, ou seja, podem ser utilizados tanto para o masculino 
quanto para o feminino.
Exemplos:
He hates my sister. (Ele odeia minha irmã)
He hates my brother. (Ele odeia meu irmão)
They gave their medals to children. (Eles deram as me-
dalhas deles para as crianças)
The waitresses lost their money. (As garçonetes perde-
ram o dinheiro delas)
Sendo assim, os adjetivos possessivos são usados fren-
te a um substantivo para modifica-lo, indicando posse ou 
propriedade e não variam nem gênero e nem em número.

The imperative form of the verbs underlined in the ex-

Past ProgressiVe
O tempo verbal “past progressive” descreve ações ou 
eventos ocorridos em um período anterior ao presente, os 
quais começaram no passado e que ainda estão ocorrendo 
no momento da fala. Em outras palavras, ele expressa uma 
ação incompleta ou não concluída no passado.
Exemplo:
“I was watching a movie with my kids yesterday.” (Eu 
estava assistindo um filme com meus filhos ontem.)
Se falamos:
“They were helping their mom at night” (Eles estavam 
ajudando sua mãe à noite), estamos enfatizando que uma 
ação em um determinado momento do passado teve um 
desenvolvimento e que essa ação não foi concluída naque-
le momento do passado.
 Para a forma afirmativa a estrutura é:
sujeito + was/were + verb com ‘ing’ + complemen-
tos
Marie was talking to her husband at the movie theater.
(Marie estava conversando com seu marido no cinema.)
 Uma outra possibilidade de uso do past progressive é 
quando duas ações (ou mais) estavam em progresso ao mes-
mo tempo. Para esses casos, é comum usarmos “while”. Veja:
Stella was talking while the teacher was explaining the 
task. (Stella estava falando enquanto a professora estava 
explicando a tarefa.)
I was having lunch while they were training for the 
match. (Eu estava almoçando enquanto eles estavam trei-
nando para a partida.)
 Quando quiser fazer uma descrição de um fato ou 
contar uma sequência de eventos, o passado contínuo 
pode ajudar nisso.
I was listening to a song on the radio when she came 
in and scared me. She said someone was looking for me at 
the lobby. (Eu estava ouvindo uma música na rádio quando 
ela entrou e me assustou. Ela disse que alguém estava pro-
curando por mim no saguão.)
 Note que, nesse último exemplo, temos o uso do sim-
ple past também, com: “came in”, scared e said. Essa estru-
tura ajuda a descrever uma ação que se desenvolvia (past 
continuous) e foi interrompida por outra (simple past).
We were sleeping when we heard that weird noise.
(Estávamos dormindo quando ouvimos um barulho es-
tranho.)
Capítulo 11 - past progressive / possessive pronouns INGLÊS
81
 Para uma frase na negativa, siga a estrutura:
sujeito + was/were + not + verb+ing
It was not (wasn’t) raining when I met her. (Não estava 
chovendo quando eu a encontrei.)
You were not (weren’t) swimming in the sea. (Você 
não estava nadando no mar)
He was not (wasn’t) reading romantic book. (Ele não 
está lendo livros de romance)
You were not (weren’t) cleaning the bedroom. (Vocês 
não estavam limpando o quarto)
 Para uma frase interrogativa, siga as mesmas regras 
de formar perguntas em inglês:
Was/were + sujeito + verb+ing ?
Were you studying at home last night? (Você estava es-
tudando em casa noite passada?)
Was I sleeping when you got home? (Eu estava dormin-
do quando você chegou em casa?
Was he playing video game? (Ele estava jogando vídeo 
game?)
Were they listening music? (Eles estavam escutando 
música?)

d) wasn’t raining – was listening
simPle Past X Past ProgressiVe
 
 O simple Past é utilizado para expressar hábitos 
ou ações que aconteceram no passado e não irão mais 
acontecer.
I fixed my car yesterday. (Eu consertei meu carro ontem.)
 O Past Progressive é usado para expressar um 
evento ou ação em progresso em um momento específico 
no passado.
I was reading my favorite book last night. (Eu estava 
lendo meu livro favorito noite passada.)
 Para expressar a interrupção de uma ação ou evento 
de longa duração, podemos combinar o simple Past e o 
Past Progressive:
I cut myself when I was shaving. (Cortei-me quando 
estava fazendo a barba.)
When we arrived at the station, the train was leaving. 
(Quando nós chegamos na estação, o trem estava partindo.)
 Mas se a ideia a ser transmitida é de que mais de 
um evento estava ocorrendo simultaneamente, devemos 
utilizar o Past Progressive em todas as sentenças.
He was working while his wife was  shopping. (Ele 
estava trabalhando enquanto sua esposa estava fazendo 
compras.)
Did you burn your hand while you were cooking? 
(Você queimou sua mão enquanto estava cozinhando?)

PossessiVe Pronouns (Pronomes PossessiVos)
Os  pronomes possessivos  (possessive pronouns) 
têm a função básica de indicar posse, que algo pertence a 
alguém. Pode ser usado para indicar um certo grau de re-
Capítulo 11 - past progressive / possessive pronounsINGlÊS
84
lação entre as pessoas, não necessariamente posse, como 
em ‘meu pai’, ‘minha tia’, ‘seu avô’, ‘genro dela’, e assim por 
diante.
No inglês, os chamados pronomes possessivos ainda 
são divididos em dois tipos: os pronomes possessivos e 
os adjetivos possessivos. Conheça-os melhor a seguir.
Personal 
pronoun
(pronome 
pessoal)
Possessive

( a d j e t i v o

Possessive

tradução
I My mine meu(s), minha(s)
You Your Yours seu/teu(s), sua/tua(s)
He His His seu(s), sua(s) dele
She Her Hers seu(s), sua(s), dela
It Its its seu(s), sua(s) dele, 
dela
We Our ours nosso(s), nossa(s)
You Your Yours seus, suas, de vocês
They Their theirs seu(s), sua(s), dele(s), 
dela(s)
Qual a diferença entre eles na prática? Vejamos.
Os adjetivos possessivos são aqueles que se asseme-
lham aos pronomes possessivos do português e à forma 
como usamos. Ou seja, nas frases, eles precisam que um 
substantivo venha logo depois. Confira no exemplo e per-
ceba o substantivo sublinhado na sequência:
 He is my father. (Ele é meu pai.)
 Is this your house? (Essa é sua casa?)
 She does not like her course.  (Ela não gosta do seu 
curso. ou Ela não gosta do curso dela.)
 Our dog ate its food. (Nosso cachorro comeu sua co-
mida. ou Nosso cachorro comeu a comida dele/dela.)
 Do you know his house? (Você conhece a sua casa? 
ou Você conhece a casa dele?)
 This is their car. (Este é o seu carro. ou Este é o carro 
deles/delas.)
Uma vez visto que os adjetivos possessivos não apare-
cem sozinhos, compreenda que os pronomes possessivos 
servem justamente para mostrar posse de algo, porém, 
sem precisar demonstrar o substantivo. Eles têm a função 
de substituir a presença do substantivo, tanto na fala quan-
to na escrita. Veja alguns casos para compreender melhor 
como isso funciona.
 This is my house. That is yours. (Esta é a minha casa. 
Aquela é a sua.)
 Veja que o substantivo ‘house’ não aparece na segun-
da frase. Então, o pronome possessivo ‘yours’ indicou que o 
objeto de posse (casa) é o mesmo, porém, pertence a outra 
pessoa.
 Her father is tall. mine is short. (Seu pai é alto. O meu 
é baixo.)
 His car is new. ours is very old. (Seu carro é novo. O 
nosso é muito velho.)
 Os pronomes possessivos em inglês possuem algu-
mas particularidades. Conheça-as a seguir.
 Eles não flexionam de acordo com o número, ou seja, 
a mesma forma é usada tanto para o singular quanto para o 
plural, mesmo que o substantivo da posse esteja no plural.
 Ex.: This is my car. These are my cars. (Este é meu carro.Estes são meus carros.)
 Os pronomes possessivos não fazem concordância 
de gênero, ou seja, não diferenciam palavras masculinas e 
femininas.
 Ex.: Are those your daughters? Are these your bro-
thers? 
 (Aquelas são suas filhas? Estes são seus irmãos?)
 Os pronomes possessivos (possessive pronouns) ain-
da permitem outra construção com o uso da ‘of’. No entan-
to, lembre-se de que a mesma construção não é possível 
com os adjetivos possessivos (possessive adjective).
 Ex. She is a friend of mine. (Ela é uma amiga minha.)
 Those are classmates of hers.  (Aqueles são colegas 
dela.)
 Os pronomes possessivos não permitem o uso de ar-
tigos (the, a, an) antes deles, como acontece no português.
 Ex.: The your favorite colors are red and blue. (As suas 
cores favoritas são vermelho e azul.)

modal Verbs: can – maY
modal Verbs
Os verbos modais (may, might, can, could, must e 
should) são um tipo de verbo auxiliar que ajuda a especifi-
car mais o sentido do verbo principal. Esse sentido mais es-
pecífico a ser expresso pode ser de habilidade, permissão, 
possibilidade, entre outros.
Esse tipo de verbo é um caso à parte, pois possui algu-
mas características que o diferencia dos demais, são elas:
• Os verbos modais não possuem infinitivo (aquela par-
tícula to que transforma o verbo em infinitivo, como em to 
sleep, to study);
• Eles não possuem uma conjugação, pois para qualquer 
sujeito sempre serão escritos da mesma forma;
• Não recebem –s ou –es na 3ª pessoa do singular no 
presente do indicativo, e se mantêm da mesma forma em 
todas as pessoas e em todos os tempos verbais;
• Eles são seguidos pelo verbo principal no infinitivo 
sem o to;
• Não necessitam de outros verbos auxiliares para a 
construção de sentenças negativas e interrogativas.
 can: é usado para expressar habilidade, possibili-
dade, permissão informal e pedido informal:
 habilidade: She can speak French very well. (Ela 
sabe falar Francês muito bem.)
 possibilidade: It can happen to anyone. (Isto pode 
acontecer com qualquer um.)
 permissão: You can park here. (Você pode estacio-
nar aqui. / Permitido estacionar.)
 maY: indica permissão, possibilidade; pode ser 
usado para falar sobre ações e acontecimentos possíveis no 
futuro e no presente, expressar deduções, fazer um pedido, 
pedir ou dar permissão ou ajuda:
 possibilidade: The children may spend the day in 
the club. (As crianças podem passar o dia no clube hoje.)
 permissão: may I speak to Helen? (Posso falar com 
a Helen?)

the greenhouse effect
A greenhouse is a house made of glass. The sun shines 
right through the glass and makes it warm inside the 
greenhouse. It is possible to grow flowers and vegetables 
inside a greenhouse in the winter. Scientists have a theory 
that a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will act like the 
glass in a greenhouse. As the sun shines through the carbon 
dioxide blanket, the atmosphere will get hotter and hotter.
Carbon dioxide is produced by combustion, the burning 
of fuel. It is being added to the normal atmosphere as we have 
more and more cars, more and more houses and industries. 
In short, more people produce more carbon dioxide.
Scientists predict that as a result of more carbon dioxide 
in the atmosphere, there will be a global warming, or a 
long-term rise in temperatures over the earth.

Present PerFect
 
O present perfect é formado pelo simple present do 
verbo to have (have/has) + o particípio do verbo principal. 
Vale observar que o particípio dos verbos em inglês será 
formado, no caso dos regulares, pelo acréscimo da partícu-
la “-ed”. Já os irregulares possuem formas próprias, por isso, 
é necessário verificar cada um desses verbos para identifi-
car sua forma no particípio.
usos do Present PerFect
Ao estudar o present perfect percebe-se que este tem-
po verbal indica uma relação entre o tempo passado e o 
presente, mais detalhadamente o present perfect será uti-
lizado para descrever ações que ocorreram no passado e 
afetam o presente, ações que vêm acontecendo, ações que 
acabaram de acontecer ou ações passadas sem terem um 
tempo determinado.

 lately (ultimamente)
 often (normalmente)

principal
Verbo regular:

 negative form: Para as frases negativas, basta acres-
centar o “not” após “have/has”. 
Verbo regular:
 He has not cleaned his shoes. / He hasn’t cleaned 
his shoes.
Verbo irregular:
 They have not gone out. / They haven’t gone out.
 interrogative form: Nas frases interrogativas, basta 
colocar o “have/has” no início da frase.
Verbo regular:
 Has he cleaned his shoes?
Verbo irregular:
 Have they gone out? 
 No português, não há nenhum tempo verbal equi-
valente a ele. Por esse motivo, há muita confusão quando 
vamos aprendê-lo.

The US space organization, NASA developed and built 
the first space shuttle. The shuttle was the first rocket to fly 
into space, come back to earth and fly again. The first shuttle 
to fly in space was Columbia. It took off on the 12th April 
1981. In January 1986 the shuttle Challenger exploded at 
take-off. Everyone on the shuttle died. This accident slowed 
down the shuttle programme for the next six years. A new 
shuttle, Endeavor, replaced Challenger in May 1992.
On 25th April 1990, NASA used the shuttle Discovery to 
put the Hubble Space Telescope into space at a distance of 
512 kilometres from the earth. Hubble travels around the 
earth and sends back photos of the stars and planets.

modal Verbs: must – sHould – ougHt to
Os verbos modais (modal verbs) são um tipo especial 
de verbos auxiliares que alteram ou completam o sentido 
do verbo principal.
De um modo geral, estes verbos expressam ideias 
como capacidade, possibilidade, obrigação, permissão, 
proibição, dedução, suposição, pedido, vontade, desejo 
ou, ainda, indicam o tom da conversa (formal / informal). 
Os verbos modais (modal verbs) podem ser chamados 
também de modal auxiliaries ou apenas modals. 
 should e ought to são usados para expressar 
obrigação moral, conselho, recomendação, dever. Veja 
alguns exemplos:
You look kind of sick. You should / ought to see a doctor.
Você parece meio doente. Você deveria ir ao médico.
I know I should / ought to study, but I’m so tired…
Sei que deveria estudar, mas estou tão cansado…
 must é usado para expressar obrigação forte, ordem, 
necessidade. Com esse sentido, também podemos usar 
have/has to.
I’m too fat. I must / have to lose weight.
Estou gordo demais. tenho que/devo perder peso.
 O uso de must e should/ought to depende do que 
queremos expressar. Por exemplo, se formos ao médico 
e ele vir que estamos quase tendo um ataque cardíaco 
causado pelo excesso de cigarro ele vai dizer:
You must stop smoking!
 Agora se o médico nos der somente um conselho 
amigável ele vai dizer:
You should stop smoking, it’s not good for your health.
 Se quisermos expressar uma obrigação no passado 
usamos had to em vez de must.
I had to work on the weekend.
tive que trabalhar no fim de semana.
O uso das formas negativas must not (mustn’t) e do not 
(don’t) / does not (doesn’t) have to também é diferente. 
mustn’t indica uma proibição e don’t/doesn’t have to 
indica falta de obrigação/necessidade.
You mustn’t talk loud in a library.
Você não pode/deve falar algo numa biblioteca.
You don’t have to buy that book. I’ll lend you mine.
Você não precisa comprar aquele livro. Eu te empresto 
o meu.
Capítulo 14 - Modal verbs (part 2)INGlÊS
102
 O verbo must também é usado para expressar uma 
conclusão lógica, dedução, algo que deve ser verdade, em 
face das evidências:
I told her to be there at 7. It’s 7.10, so she must be there.
Eu lhe disse para estar lá às 7. São 7.10, então ela deve 
estar lá.
I’ve heard the new secretary used to be a model. She 
must be beautiful.
Ouvi dizer que a nova secretária era modelo. Ela deve 
ser bonita.
 Nesse caso o sentido contrário de must é can’t.
She used to be a model, she can’t be ugly.
Ela era modelo, ela não pode ser feia. (é improvável)

the new York’s secret life
In 2008, the photographer and film director Francesco 
Carrozzini bought a townhouse in Greenwich Village for 
$6.8 million. Ostensibly, he got a home built in 1844 with 
low ceilings and small dark rooms. But luxury real estate is 
never about the basics.
The house is part of the Macdougal-Sullivan Gardens 
Historic District a landmarked community of 21 row 
homes. Between them is a large interior courtyard shaded 
by maples, sycamores and palms. It’s a secret garden in 
the middle of the city, hidden from the street. Each home 
comes with its own small backyard that borders on the 
larger common area shared by all.

imPeratiVe (imPeratiVo)
O imperativo é usado pelo falante para dar uma su-
gestão, uma ordem, um conselho ou uma instrução para 
que uma determinada ação aconteça. No inglês, utiliza-se 
o verbo sem a partícula “to” para montar uma sentença no 
imperativo, além de não ser necessário informar o sujeito, 
pois entende-se que este receberá a ordem, sugestão ou 
conselho implicitamente.
Exemplos:
listen! I need you go now. (Ouça! Eu preciso que você 
vá agora) – O verbo to listen (ouça) está no imperativo nes-
sa sentença.
O imperativo poderá marcar algumas ações, como:
 fazer um convite: Let’s go now. (Vamos agora) – para 
convites sempre utilizar o “Let’s”;
 fazer um oferecimento: Have a piece of cake. (Tome 
um pedaço de bolo);
 dar uma ordem: Listen to them. (Ouça eles);
 fazer um pedido: Open the door. (Abra a porta);
 dar um conselho: Be careful! (Seja cuidadoso).
Regras de uso:
Se for necessário dar mais ênfase na frase basta colocar 
o auxiliar “do” no começo da frase.
Exemplos:
do put all the toys in the box. (Coloque todos os brin-
quedos na caixa)
do go now. (Vá agora)
do listen me. (Me ouça)
do run fast. (Corra rápido)
Se for necessário deixar a frase mais educada basta 
acrescentar a expressão “please” (por favor) no começo ou 
no final da frase.
Exemplos:
Please, come with me. (Por favor, venha comigo)
Call the doctor, please. (Ligue para o médico, por favor)
Please, don’t scream. (Por favor, não grite)
Wait for me, please. (Espere por mim, por favor)
Let’s watch this film, please. (Vamos assistir a esse filme, 
por favor)
Se for necessário formar o imperativo na negação bas-
ta acrescentar o auxiliar “do” mais o “not” (forma contraída 
don’t) no começo da frase.
Exemplos:
do not (don’t) eat this cake. (Não coma esse bolo)
do not (don’t) forget to close the window. (Não esque-
ça de fechar a janela)
do not (don’t) run here. (Não corra aqui)
do not (don’t) put your hand here. (Não coloque a mão aí)

demonstratiVe Pronouns (Pronomes demon-
stratiVos)
Os demonstrative pronouns (pronomes demonstrati-
vos) são utilizados para situar a posição dos seres no tempo 
ou no espaço se referindo às três pessoas do discurso.
Em inglês, os pronomes demonstrativos são variáveis, 
uma vez que alguns variam em relação ao número, ou seja, 
podem ser singular ou plural.
Quando nos referimos a algum objeto ou a alguma pes-
soa que está perto, usamos this, que significa este, esta, 
isto. Quando nos referimos a mais de um objeto ou a mais 
de uma pessoa que está perto, sendo, portanto, plural, uti-
lizamos these, que significaestes ou estas.
Observe os exemplos a seguir:
this game is interesting. (Este jogo é interessante.)
these games are interesting. (Estes jogos são interes-
santes.)
this girl is lost. (Esta garota está perdida.)
these girls are lost. (Estas garotas estão perdidas.)
Quando nos referimos a algum objeto ou a alguma 
pessoa que está longe, usamos that, que significa aquele, 
aquela, aquilo. Quando nos referimos a mais de um objeto 
ou a mais de uma pessoa que está longe, sendo, portanto, 
plural, utilizamos those, que significa aqueles, aquelas.
that girl is my friend. (Aquela garota é minha amiga.)
those girls are my friends. (Aquelas garotas são minhas 
amigas.)
that is my house. (Aquela é minha casa.)
Capítulo 15 - ImperatIvo INGLÊS

those are my books. (Aqueles são os meus livros.)
Resumindo:
SINGULAR PLURAL
PERTO this these
LONGE that those
Nós também utilizamos os pronomes demonstrativos 
para:
 this / these: para apresentar pessoas.
 “João, this is my brother Carlos.” (João, este é meu 
irmão Carlos.)
 “these are my friends Paula and Isabel.” (Estas são 
minhas amigas Paula e Isabel.)
 that: algo que aconteceu:
 A: I’m sorry I forgot! (Lamento, Eu esqueci!)
 B: that’s all right. (Tudo bem.)
 that: o que alguém acabou de dizer:
 A: You’re a teacher, aren’t you? (Você é professor, não 
é?)
 B: Yes, that’s right. (Sim, está certo.)
 this / that: Conversar ao telefone:
 “this is Cezar. Can I talk to Letícia, please?” (Aqui é o 
Cezar. Eu poderia falar com a Letícia, por favor?) (this  o 
falante)
 “Is that you, Letícia?” (É você, Letícia?) (that  a outra

the story of a blind girl
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because 
she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boy-
friend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could 
only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and 
then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her 
boyfriend asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will 
you marry me?”
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend 
was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend 
walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:
“Just take care of my eyes dear.”

The plural of sheaf, ox and flash is:

c) sheaves – oxen – flashes 
d) sheafes – oxencomo sendo uma frase. As partículas podem ser 
preposições ou advérbios e o significado total das palavras 
é geralmente diferente do significado individual dos 
elementos que o compõem. Sendo assim, não podem ser 
traduzidos literalmente na maioria das vezes e devem ser 
encarados como vocábulos independentes dos elementos 
que os compõem.
Exemplo: sit (verbo) + down (advérbio) = sit down 
(sentar)
get (verbo) + in (preposição) = get in (entrar)
O erro mais comum cometido por estudantes da 
língua inglesa é tentar analisar os significados das palavras 
presentes em um phrasal verb separadamente. Isso 
porque como a primeira palavra do verbo frasal é um verbo, 
conduzem tentativas do tipo “a primeira palavra significa tal 
coisa” então o sentido geral do phrasal verb só pode ser…..
Esse deve ser um dos maiores senão o maior crime 
cometido por quem quer aprender Inglês, se basear 
no significado da primeira palavra do verbo frasal para 
desvendar o seu sentido.
A soma dos significados de cada palavra do phrasal 
verb também é incapaz de revelar o significado do phrasal 
verb.
giVe uP = Dar + cima = dar em cima (errado)
Put uP WitH = colocar + cima + com = colocar em 
cima (errado)
call oFF = chamar + desligar = chamar até desligar 
(errado)
 Como dito, a primeira palavra que constitui o phrasal 
verb é um verbo (give, put e call) e leva muitos a caírem no 
erro de efetuar traduções, comparações ou deduções como 
mostramos.
 Dado que não é possível, deduzir o significado de 
um phrasal verb a partir das palavras que o formam, a 
única forma de saber o que significam é por meio da 
memorização. Quanto mais phrasal verbs você sabe de 
cor, menores são as chances de você ser pego de surpresa. 
Capítulo 16 - phrasal verbs (part 1) / pronomes relativos e reflexivosINGlÊS
118
De modo geral, existem dois tipos de phrasal verbs, 
os chamados phrasal verbs separáveis ou transitivos e os 
phrasal verbs intransitivos. 
Ex: throw away the papers. [jogue fora os papéis]
 throw the papers away. [jogue os papéis fora]
Ex: take off your shoes. [tire os sapatos]
 take your shoes off. [tire os sapatos]
Nos exemplos acima ‘the papers’ e ‘your shoes’ vieram 
depois do verbo frasal ou entre as palavras.
As regras aplicáveis ao pharal verb são as mesmas que 
seriam aplicáveis ao verbo que o constitui. Como dissemos, o 
verbo frasal é constituído pela estrutura verbo + outra palavra. 
Logo, se o verbo que compõe o phrasal verb é regular as 
regras em se tratando do passado serão as mesmas. O futuro 
assim como o past participle também serão os mesmos.
Ex: I give up. [eu desisto]
tempo verbal: presente simples
Ex: I gave up. [eu desisti]
tempo verbal: passado simples
Ex: I have given up. [eu desisti]
tempo verbal: presente perfeito com past participle
Ex: I will give up. [eu irei desistir]
tempo verbal: futuro simples

A husband and wife, both 60 years old, were celebrat-
ing their 35th wedding anniversary. During their party, a 
fairy appeared, to congratulate them and grant them each 
one wish. The wife wanted to travel around the world. The 
fairy waved her wand and, then, suddenly, the wife had a 
ticket in her hand for a world cruise. Next the fairy asked 
the husband what he wanted. He said, “I wish I had a wife 
30 years younger than me.” So the fairy picked up her wand 
and, then, suddenly, the husband was 90.

Na Língua Inglesa, os artigos indefinidos (indefinite ar-
ticles) são o “a” e o “an” e eles acompanham o substanti-
vo no qual ainda não se tem conhecimento. Esses artigos 
equivalem ao “um” e ao “uma” da língua portuguesa, como 
mostrado nos exemplos a seguir:

uma chamada a cobrar)
 It was an interesting show. (Foi um interessante show)
 He prefers to rest in a private place. (Ele prefere des-
cansar em um lugar privado)
Os artigos indefinidos não variam em gênero, ou seja,

o feminino.
Exemplos:
 He is a shy man. (Ele é um homem tímido)
 My father did an interview yesterday. (Meu pai fez 
uma entrevista ontem)
 It is a smart dog. (Ele é um cachorro esperto)
 My grandmother wants a cup of tea. (Minha vó quer

gênero e é usado antes de substantivo no singular.
 Emprega-se - an antes de som vocálico: 
  an apple (uma maçã)

  an hour (hora) 
  an honest (honesto) 
  an honor (honra)
 Emprega-se - a antes de som consonantal: 
      a country (um país)
 a hero (um herói)
 Emprega-se - a antes de vogal com som de “iu”
