forma negativa.
Ex.: Afirmativa: Paul is a student.

Negativa: Paul isn‟t a student.

Sueco Swedish Swede


Dinamarquês Danish Dane What a difficult test we had!

Holandês Dutch Dutchman


Mas: What nice furniture you have! (furniture = não-contável)
Espanhol Spanish Spaniard
Que mobília bonita você tem!

Obs.: Algumas formas substantivas terminadas em man designam o gênero masculino, sendo o
feminino formado com woman. Ann has such patience with kids! (patience = não-contável)
Englishman – Englishwoman Ann tem tanta paciência com crianças!
Frenchman – Frenchwoman
1.4 O artigo indefinido também é usado com sentido de por em expressões tais como: preço por
quilo, km por hora, vezes por dia etc.
1.2 Depois das preposições with (com) e without (sem), seguidas de substantivo concreto,
também é necessário o artigo indefinido.

numeral one.

I asked for one bottle of wine, not two!

b) Também usamos o numeral one em expressões idiomáticas, como one day (um certo dia).

UNIDADE VI - PERGUNTANDO SOBRE HÁBITOS 1.1. Quando precisamos empregar um interrogativo (HOW MANY, WHAT, WHO, WHERE, WHEN,
WHAT), na pergunta, tem-se a seguinte ordem:

1. AUXILIAR - DO
INTERROGATIVO AUXILIAR SUJEITO VERBO

As formas interrogativas e perguntas são sempre feitas com a ajuda do verbo auxiliar. Como não WHAT DO YOU WANT?
temos um auxiliar próprio no Simple Present, é necessário usar um auxiliar “emprestado” que é o WHO DOES HE SEE?
“DO”. HOW MANY (BOOKS) DO YOU HAVE?
Colocamos o auxiliar “DO” na frente do sujeito.
WHERE DOES SHE LIVE?
WHEN DO YOU STUDY?
Ex.: afirmativa: I have a book
WHAT DO YOU EAT?
Interrogativa: Do I have a book?

Quando usamos How Many, temos que especificar do que queremos saber a quantidade. O
Usamos “DO” para todas as pessoas, exceto para a 3ª. pessoa do singular, onde emprega-se interrogativo será acompanhado do substantivo.
“DOES”.
Ex.: DOES Mary speakEnglish?
Ex.: We have tapes.
DOES he want a tape?
Do we have tapes?
How many tapes do we have?
Note que ao fazer a interrogação com DOES, o “S” do verbo principal desaparece.

32 | [ Curso Preparatório Cidade]


Ex.: Open the door. (Abra/abram a porta!) Close your books.
Close the book.(Feche / Fechem o livro!)
Wait for me. (Espere / Esperem por mim!)
Wait for Paul.
Hurry up! (Rápido! Aprecem-se!)

Para formar o imperativo negativo ou a ordem negativa, simplesmente usamos DON‟T antes do Wait for Mary.
verbo.

Ex.: Don‟t open the door. Close the window.


Don‟t close the book.
Don‟t wait for me.
2) Formule frases imperativas, usando os verbos entre parênteses.

Para suavizar a ordem ou o comando expressos pelo imperativo, ou seja, fazer da nossa ordem um (to open)
pedido, usualmente utilizamos “PLEASE”, que pode ser posicionado antes ou depois da ordem.

LET‟S PRATICE: (to close)

1) Follow the model: (to read)

Open the door. – Don‟t open the door.


Close the door. (to study)

Wait for me. (to repair)

(to report)
Hurry.

Open the window.

Open your books. (to wait)

(to hurry) My neighbor‟s house. (A casa do meu vizinho).

O mesmo vale para animais: The lion‟s roar. (O rugido do leão).


(to call)

Posteriormente, passou-se a empregar o „s também em relação aos corpos celestes, à Terra, ao


3) Suavize o imperativo das frases acima: mundo, aos países, às pessoas jurídicas e similares. Assim, dizemos corretamente:
Saturn‟s rings. (Os anéis de Saturno).
The army‟s traditions. (As tradições do exército.)

Com a evolução da língua e pela facilidade que o „s oferece (aqui surge o problema), seu uso
passou a ser tolerado e finalmente aceito em casos nos quais o possuidor é ser inanimado. Esse
uso, em certos casos, acaba sendo visto como abuso pelos native speakers(falantes nativos) que
possuem boa formação cultural e defendem o que muitos chamam de “ proper English”, ou seja, o
inglês adequado, correto.

Assim, locuções como:


the system‟s reliability (a confiabilidade do sistema),
provavelmente, seriam bem vistas pelos defensores do “proper English”.
Por outro lado, com certeza eles iriam franzir as sobrancelhas ou condenar como inaceitáveis
locuções do tipo:
The car‟s color.
3. POSSESSIVE / GENITIVE CASE („S) (CASO POSSESSIVO OU GENITIVO) The table‟s legs.

O caso possessivo é típico da língua inglesa. Trata-se de colocar um apóstrofo seguido de S após o Não obstante, a tendência de ampliação cada vez maior do uso do‟s em vez de of the é um fato

a. Tradicionalmente, ensinava-se que o caso possessivo aplicava-se a seres animados (pessoas e gramática inglesa.
animais), não devendo ser empregado quando o possuidor era um ser inanimado (coisas e
substantivos abstratos). b. Quando se trata de uma dupla posse (dois possuidores do mesmo objeto), acrescenta-se o „s
apenas ao segundo possuidor.
Pessoas obviamente abrangem, além de nomes próprios, parentes em todos os graus, títulos,
cargos, funções, profissões e outros substantivos que só podem se referir a pessoas: criança, John and Alice‟s wedding. (o casamento de John e Alice)
menino (a), amigo (a), vizinho (a), colega de escola ou trabalho etc.
Mas:
Men‟s and women‟s clothes (roupas de homens e de mulheres)
The Queen‟s popularity. (A popularidade da Rainha).

34 | [ Curso Preparatório Cidade]


OBSERVAÇÕES: I‟m going to the doctor‟s.
1. Quando o possuidor animado estiver no plural (terminado em s), basta acrescentar o
apóstrofo. 5. Para terminar, temos o duplo possessivo, ou seja, além do of, utiliza-se também o „s. Ocorre
The boys‟ aunt (a tia dos meninos) freqüentemente com palavras como friend, enemy, relative, acquaintance (conhecido).
He is a friend of my faher‟s.
Quando, porém, se tratar de um nome próprio ou sobrenome terminado em S, existem duas Bill is na enemy of Henry‟s.
possibilidades: simplesmente acrescentar o apóstrofo ou colocar o apóstrofo seguido de mais um A relative of John‟s called me up.

LET‟S PRATICE:

2. Na maioria das expressões de tempo é obrigatório o uso do caso possessivo. 1. Reescreva as sentenças usando „s ou of, conforme o caso.
Today‟s newspaper. (O jornal de hoje).
An hour‟s work. (Um trabalho de uma hora). The maid cleans all (the rooms – house)
Next week‟s test. (O exame da próxima semana.) The maid cleans all the rooms of the house.

3. No caso de substantivos compostos, acrescenta-se o „s à última palavra. I‟m going to borrow (the bicycle – my brother)
I‟m going to borrow my brother‟s bicycle.
My brother-in-law‟s house (a casa do meu cunhado)
The commander in chief‟s orders (as ordens do comandante em chefe) a.Please, give me (a glass – water)

4. Não se surpreenda ao encontrar um caso possessivo que não é seguido de nada. Isso significa
que uma palavra ficou subentendida. Essa palavra pode ser house, shop, store, office ou b. Have you seen (the newspaper – today) ?
church.

c. (The fur – fox) is used for making (coats – women)

b) in –at – his – at – on;
Ex. John‟s book (the book of John)
c) on – at – his – at – in;
Quando o possuidor já é plural regular, acrescentamos somente apóstrofe. Não precisamos de
outro “S”. d) at – in – his – at – in;
Ex.: The teachers‟ books. (the books of the teachers). e) in – in – his – at – on.

OBSERVAÇÃO: O PRONOME INTERROGATIVO “WHOSE” TAMBÉM É UTILIZADO COMO O 3) It can be inferred that:
PRONOME RELATIVO “CUJO”, “CUJA”, “CUJOS” E “CUJAS”. Exemplos: he is the guy whose father

UNIDADE VIII - CARACTERIZANDO E COMPARANDO b) Quando existem dois ou mais adjetivos de fato, normalmente são colocados na seguinte ordem:

1. THE ADJECTIVE

Em Inglês:

-O adjetivo não varia em gênero, isto é, utiliza-se o mesmo adjetivo tanto para o masculino como
para o feminino.
A good boy
- O adjetivo é usado depois de certos verbos, tais como:
A good girl

1. To be (ser, estar, ficar)


- O adjetivo não varia em número, isto é, não tem plural.
2. To get (tornar-se, ficar)
One fat man
3. To became (tornar-se, ficar)
Five fat men
4. To look (parecer)
5. To seem (parecer)
- O adjetivo sempre precede o substantivo que ele qualifica. Essa regra é válida também quando
6. To feel (sentir)
estão presentes dois ou mais adjetivos.
7. To taste (ter o gosto de)
A tall girl
8. To sound (falar como se, em tom de)
An intelligent boy
9. To smell (cheirar)

- Quando o substantivo é qualificado por mais de um adjetivo, é necessário coloca-los na ordem


certa. Para isso, deve-se considerar o seguinte: Exemplos:
1. Mr Brown was pleased. (Mr. Brown estava satisfeito).

a) Existem adjetivos de fato e adjetivos de opinião. Os adjetivos de fato são objetivos, dão-nos 2. Are you getting tired? (Você está ficando cansado?)
informações sobre o substantivo (idade, tamanho, cor, origem, etc). Os adjetivos de opinião dizem- 3. He became the head manager of the company. (Ele tornou-se o gerente chefeda empresa.)
nos o que alguém pensa ou acha sobre o substantivo e sempre precedem os de fato. 4. The pudding tastes strange.(O pudim tem um gosto estranho.)
5. The boss sounded angry. (O chefe pareceu nervoso.)
OPINIÃO FATO 6. This perfume smells good.(Este perfume tem o cheiro bom.)
AN INTELLIGENT YOUNG MAN
A VALUABLE CLASSICAL PAINTING - Um substantivo pode ser precedido por outro substantivo que o qualifica, exercendo, assim, a
função de um adjetivo. Nesse caso, mesmo que em português o substantivo qualificante esteja
no plural, em inglês, ele permanece no singular.
A ten-story building (um prédio de dez andares)

[Curso Preparatório Cidade] 39


Vamos aproveitar para aprender as cores?
OBSERVAÇÃO: Quando o substantivo estiver associado a um numeral, deve-se ligá-los com
hífen.
- Ressaltamos, finalmente, que existem adjetivos formados pelo gerúndio (ing) e pelo particípio The snow is white.
(ed) de um verbo. A forma ING pode ser considerada ativa, e a forma ED, passiva. Coal is black.
I found the instructions rather confusing. (Achei as instruções um tanto confusas.) The sky in Rio is blue.
I was confused by the instructions. (As instruções me deixaram confuso.) The sky in Londres is grey.
The banana is yellow.

Quando usamos o adjetivo, estamos expressando alguma qualidade, característica, Blood is red.
número ou especificação do substantivo. Logo, existem alguns interrogativos que vão The tree is green and brown.
pedir estas informações. Eles são: The rose is pink.
The orange is orange.
WHAT KIND.....? – Que tipo ....?
HOW MANY.....? – Quantos ....?
Como você pôde observar, os adjetivos, em inglês, são sempre colocados à frente do
WHICH (ONE) ....? – Qual (deles) ....? substantivo.
WHAT COLOR....? – Que cor ?

I have a blue car.


Ex.: What kind of car is this?
She wants a new car.
It‟s a sedan.
This is the last class.
It‟s a sport car.
It‟s a station wagon.
Palavras compostas e posição de substantivos adjetivados.
It‟s a van

Algumas palavras, compostas por 2 substantivos, têm sua formação baseada no mesmo princípio
How many cars do you have?
da posição dos adjetivos. O substantivo, que especifica alguma qualidade ou característica do
I have one car. outro, sempre antecede o qualificado.
I have four cars.

CLASSROOM – o substantivo CLASS qualifica o substantivo ROOM.


Which car do you prefer?
I prefer a new car.
Outros exemplos:
I prefer a fast car.
I prefer a big car.
NOTEBOOK
I prefer a small car.
WASTEBASKET
AIRPLANE
What color is your pencil?
AIRPORT
It‟s blue

EFFICIENT EFFICIENTLY
BAD BADLY
Ex.: Minute hand
PERFECT PERFECTLY

Adjetivo: John is a careful student.
Advérbio: He studies carefully.
Answer these questions:

a) How many tables do you have? (fifteen)  Como você pode deduzir, o simples acréscimo de LY nem sempre basta para formar o advérbio.
b) How many cars do you have? (two) Observe as regras:
c) What color is Paul‟s new car? (blue)
d) Which one do you prefer? (the blue one) a) Os adjetivos terminados em Y trocam por I antes de receberem o sufixo LY.
e) What kind of book does Jane have? (an English book)
f) What color is Bob‟s wastebasket? (brown)
ADJETIVO ADVÉRBIO
HEAVY HEAVILY
2. ADVERBS
LAZY LAZILY

Enquanto o adjetivo nos diz algo ou alguma coisa sobre um substantivo ou um pronome, o
HAPPY HAPPILY
advérbio nos diz alguma coisa sobre um verbo, adjetivo ou outro advérbio.

b) Os adjetivos terminados em LE trocam o LE por LY.


 Os advérbios que derivam de um adjetivo são formados pela adição do sufixo LY

ADJETIVO ADVÉRBIO
ADJETIVO ADVÉRBIO HORRIBLE HORRIBLY
SLOW SLOWLY SIMPLE SIMPLY
QUICK QUICKLY SUBTLE SUBTLY
EASY EASILY
CORRECT CORRECTLY EXCEÇÃO: WHOLE – WHOLLY

[Curso Preparatório Cidade] 41


c) Aos adjetivos terminados em IC acrescenta-se o sufixo ALLY para formar o advérbio. RIGHTLY – He was treated with great respect, and rightly so. (Ele foi tratado com grande
respeito, e merecidamente)
ADJETIVO ADVÉRBIO
TRAGIC TRAGICALLY HIGHLY – Dr Barbosa is a highly respected surgeon. (O Dr. Barbosa é um cirurgião altamente
FANTASTIC FANTASTICALLY conceituado.)
SPECIFIC SPECIFICALLY
LOUDLY – Bob spoke so loudly (loud) that he woke up the whole family. (Bob falou tão alto que
acordou a família toda.)
OBSERVAÇÃO: Não se pode acrescentar um LY a adjetivos que já terminam em LY, tais como:
friendly (amigável), silly (bobo), lovely (amável) etc. Nesse caso, deve-se recorrer a uma
construção com WAY (jeito, modo) ou MANNER (maneira). CLOSELY – The boxer watched his opponent closely. (O lutador de boxe observava seu adversário
FRIENDLY (amigável) – IN A FRIENDLY WAY atentamente.)

SILLY (tolo) – IN A SILLY MANNER


LATELY – We haven‟t seen our neighbors lately. (Não temos visto nossos vizinhos ultimamente.)

 ATENÇÃO: Alguns advérbios não recebem sufixo e mantêm a mesma forma do


adjetivo. HARDLY – The test was so difficult that hardly anyone passed. (A prova foi tão difícil que quase
ninguém passou.)
ADJETIVO ADVÉRBIO
HARD HARD OBSERVAÇÃO:
FAST FAST Hardly significa quase não e nada tem a ver com hard (duro, difícil). Observe que seu sentido
LATE LATE é negativo e, por isso, o verbo da oração é afirmativo.
EARLY EARLY Peter and I are neighbors, but we hardly know each other. (Peter e eu somos vizinhos,
RIGHT RIGHT mas quase não nos conhecemos.)
Hardly ever significa quase nunca.
HIGH HIGH
We hardly ever go to the theater. (Nós quase nunca vamos ao teatro).
LOUD LOUD

CLOSE CLOSE
Ex.: Bob is a good driver. (Bob é um bom motorist.)
He drives well. (Ele dirige bem.)
Jack loves fast cars. (adjetivo)
Jack drives fast. (advérbio).
. Contudo, os advérbios não caracterizam somente o modo, mas também, tempo, lugar,
freqüência e intensidade. Vamos ver onde o colocamos na frase?
This is the right way to do it. (adjetivo)
Quanto à posição dos advérbios, eles, usualmente, estão no fim da frase.
Do it right! (advérbio)
. Mesmo esses, com exceção de FAST e EARLY, admitem a forma LY, geralmente com alguma
Ex.: Mary studies hard. (modo)
alteração no sentido.
Mary studies at home. (lugar)

expectativa, uma esperança ou uma possibilidade.
LATER ON

60 | [ Curso Preparatório Cidade]


Vejamos alguns exemplos:
INTERROGATIVA

Desejo: I want to travel to Miami next month. WANT


Plano: I plan to eat lunch downtown today. DO I PLAN TO STUDY ?
Expectativa: I expect to have my car next week. EXPECT
Esperança: I hope to win the lottery. HOPE

Quanto à expressão de uma possibilidade futura, nós empregamos o modal MAY. Já os modais MAY e MIGHT seguem as regras dos auxiliares.

Ex.: I may see a film tonight.


AFIRMATIVA
Eu estou, neste caso, prevendo alguma coisa que poderá acontecer.
MAY
I MIGHT STUDY
Se a possibilidade for ainda mais fraca, usaremos o modal MIGHT.
Ex.: I might see a film tonight.

NEGATIVA
Comparemos as formas de maneira percentual:
MAY NOT
I will go (estou 100% certo)
I MIGHT NOT STUDY
I may go (estou 50% certo)
I might go (estou 10% certo)
Agora, vamos às estruturas: INTERROGATIVA

Os verbos WANT, PLAN, EXPECT e HOPE são verbos principais. Logo, para fazermos as formas MAY

UNIDADE XIV - FALANDO SOBRE O FUTURO They are going to walk home after lunch.
Is the doctor going to see you this afternoon?

1. GOING TO - FUTURE
A expressão “TO BE GOING TO”, usada como um substantivo do futuro, corresponde ao nosso “IR
Observe the dialogue: + INFINITIVO”.

“What are you going to do tonight? Eu vou ver tv hoje à noite.

I‟m going to work . I‟m going to prepare tomorrow‟s briefing. And you?
I don‟t know.” LET‟S PRATICE:
Complete the sentences using “to be going to”. Use the verbs in parentheses:
Nós usamos a expressão “TO BE GOING TO” como um substituto para o futuro. Ela também é
chamada “FUTURO INTENCIONAL”. É muito coloquial. 1. They _________________________________us next weekend (call)
Vejamos como formá-la: 2. Tom ____________________________Jane for dinner (invite)
3. The weather ________________before 6 o‟clock (change)
4. The porter ____________________your luggage. (carry)
SUJEITO TO BE (PRESENTE) GOING TO PRINCIPAL VERB 5. The sudents _______________________________to the tape after class (listen)
6. Mr and Mrs Jones ___________________ plane reservations. (make)
I AM GOING TO SEE 7. _________________you ___________your baggage? (check)
YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE 8. The students ___________________________a break (take)
9. What ___________________we____________________tonight?(do)
HE IS GOING TO SWIN 10. The train _____________________late (be)
SHE IS GOING TO PLAY
IT IS GOING TO EAT 2. SUBSTANTIVOS CONTÁVEIS E INCONTÁVEIS
WE ARE GOING TO SEE
YOU ARE GOING TO SWIN Em Inglês, os substantivos, no que concerne ao número, são divididos em duas classes. Aqueles
que expressam coisas que nós podemos contar e são chamados “Count nouns” e aqueles que
THEY ARE GOING TO EAT
expressam uma quantidade de matéria que não podemos contar e são chamados “Mass Nouns”
Os “count nouns” têm plural, mas os “mass nouns” só existem no singular.
As formas interrogativa e negativa seguem as regras do verbo TO BE

COUNT NOUNS MASS NOUNS


As mesmas expressões de tempo usadas com o Futuro Simples serão usadas com “TO BE GOING
DOLLARS MONEY
TO”.
BOOKS PAPER

Vejamos mais exemplos: HOURS TIME

I‟m going to watch TV tonight. GLASSES MILK

What are you going to do next weekend? CUPS

[Curso Preparatório Cidade] 63


Para indicar pequena quantidade usamos: RESUMINDO, usamos com:

COUNT NOUNS MASS NOUNS COUNT NOUNS (plural) MASS NOUNS COUNT / MASS NOUNS
FEW LITTLE FEW LITTLE SOME / ANY
A FEW A LITTLE A FEW A LITTLE A LOT OF
MANY MUCH
Ex. Few things
Few lozenges LET‟S PRATICE
A few boxes
A few cotton balls a) Use MUCH or MANY.

Little lotion 1. There weren‟t ________________people at the suppermarket.


2. There wasn‟t _________________coffee in the cup.
Little astringent 3. We didn‟t duy ________________apples last week.
A little ether 4. Peter hasn‟t lost _______________money in that investment.

A little cotton 6. There isn‟t ____________food in the freezer.
7. I don‟t drink _____________cups of coffee a day.
8. Our instructor doesn‟t give us ________________ homework every day.
 Para indicar quantidade média, usamos SOME (ANY) com Count Nouns e Mass Nouns. 9. There aren‟t ___________________cashiers at that bank.
Ex.: some toothpaste 10. Do you have _____________problems at school?
Some aspirin
b) Use LITTLE or FEW
 Para indicar grandes quantidades usamos:
1. I have _________money.
COUNT NOUNS MASS NOUNS 2. We bought __________ paper this morning.
MANY MUCH 3. Tom drank _____________glasses of water at lunch.
4. The soldiers marched for _____________hours last night
5. Supermarkets have _________________ attendants.
Exemplo: 6. I want to see ____places.
7. They have _______________experience
Many bottles 8. Do you need _______time to learn English?
Much lotion 9. John had ________juice this morning.
10. We have _________plans for vacation.
ATENÇÃO! MANY e MUCH são raramente usados em afirmações. Deste modo, usamos A LOT
OF para indicar grande quantidade de “Count” e “mass nouns” na forma afirmativa. Em
c) Make the sentences negative. Make the necessary changes.
contrapartida, A LOT OF não deve ser usado em frases negativas.

1. We‟ll visit a lot of places this summer.


I have a lot of cologne.
I don‟t have many cotton balls.

64 | [ Curso Preparatório Cidade]


2. He likes to eat a lot of fruit for breakfast.
Do you have any eggs? Yes, I have some.
No, I don‟t have any.
3. John showed his girlfriend a lot of restaurants.
No, I have no eggs

4. Teachers have to prepare a lot of exercises. Lembre-se de que o inglês não admite dupla negativa na oração, coisa muito comum e, às vezes,
obrigatória em nosso idioma.
Enquanto dizemos: Não há nada na geladeira
5. Our students learn a lot of grammar.
Em ingles se diz: There is nothing in the fridge
Ou ainda: There isn‟t anything in the fridge.
6. I have a lot of things to do today.

 Atente para a diferença entre few e a few. Observe que a few equivale a some (algum).
Tanto um quanto outro acompanham substantivos no plural.

I have few friends in Rio. (poucos)


I have a few friends in Rio. (alguns)

 Atente, agora, para a diferença entre little e a little, que são usados no singular. Aqui, a
little, além de equivaler a some, também significa um pouco de.

We have little time to act. (pouco)


A little patience doesn‟t hurt anybody. (um pouco de)

3. SOME, ANY, NO

SOME e seus compostos são usados em frases afirmativas.


ANY e seus compostos são usados em frases negativas e interrogativas. Em frases
afirmativas usamos ANY com sentido de qualquer.
NO e seus compostos são usados em frases afirmativas.

I need some eggs to make a cake.

b) CONJUNTO INDEFINIDO – EVERY, ALL, EACH 4. MODAL VERBS

Neste grupo, os indefinidos dão idéia de conjunto. Na verdade, trata-se mais de uma questão de O que é um MODAL VERB?
vocabulário. Em inglês, esses indefinidos concordam com o verbo no singular.
O MODAL VERB é um tipo especial de verbo auxiliar que é usado junto com um verbo principal,
alterando-lhe o sentido. De modo geral, indicam possibilidade, obrigação, dedução, permissão,
Everybody is here. habilidade, vontade, desejo ou ainda, o tom da conversa (formal/informal). São eles: can, could,
Everything is all right. may , might , must , ought, shall, should, will, would.

Com ALL, porém, o verbo concorda com o substantive que o segue. Os modal verbs podem ser chamados também de modal auxiliaries ou apenas modals.

All the students are here. Grosso modo, poderíamos dizer que a maioria dos MODALS equivale a poder e dever. Em
português, tanto um quanto outro podem expressar situações diversas. Em inglês, porém, para
cada situação há um MODAL mais adequado. Observe:
Every, everybody, everyone, everything, everywhere, all, each, either (one), neither (one),
May I use your umbrella? (permissão) - Posso usar seu guarda-chuva?
another, enough, most, most of.
He may be in the library. (possibilidade) - Ele epode estar na biblioteca.
She must be at the beauty salon (dedução) – Ela deve estar no salão de beleza
c) QUANTIDADE INDEFINIDA – MUCH, MANY, LITTLE, FEW…
You should see a dentist. (conselho) – Você deveria ir a um dentista.

Much e little acompanham substantivos no singular (uncountable nouns)


Antes de vermos cada um dos MODAL VERBS, daremos algumas informações preliminares para
Many e few acompanham substantivos no plural. (countable nouns)
auxiliar seu estudo.

Obs.: A few = alguns


1 – Os MODAL VERBS não existem na forma infinitiva.
Few = poucos

2 – Eles são sempre seguidos por verbos no infinitivo sem TO. A única exceção fica por conta de
I have few friends in Rio (poucos) OUGHT.
I have a few friends in Rio. (alguns) He can swin. – Ele pode (sabe) nadir.
She must study. – Ela deve estudar
Obs.: Little = pouco They ought to pay the rent. – Eles deveriam pagar o aluguel.
A little = um pouco de
3 – Os MODAL VERBS nunca são flexionados. Ou seja, não levam s na 3ª pessoa do singular
(simple present), nem formam gerúndio (ing) ou passado (ed).

4 – Podem ser acompanhados pelo auxiliar BE, freqüentemente seguido de gerúndio, expressando
tempo presente ou futuro, ou pelo auxiliar HAVE seguido de particípio, expressando tempo
passado.

74 | [ Curso Preparatório Cidade]


They might be studying – Eles podem estar estudando. pergunta Shall I open the
The game will be starting at five – O jogo estará começando às cinco window?

Joe may have seen the film already. Joe já pode ter visto o filme. Shall we go to the
movies?
5 – Nunca são acompanhados pelo auxiliar DO (DO, DOES, DID). Porém, quando DO é verbo
principal, é perfeitamente cabível.
I can do it – Eu posso faze-lo
Salientamos que este ultimo uso de SHALL é muito frequente na linguagem coloquial.
6 – Para a forma negativa, acrescenta-se um NOT.
4.2 – SHOULD – OUGHT TO

CAN CANNOT (CAN‟T)


MAY MAY NOT SHOULD e OUGHT TO têm basicamente o mesmo sentido, sendo OUGHT TO mais formal. Ambos
expressam conselho, advertência, obrigação ou expectativa, correspondendo a deveria em
MUST MUST NOT (MUSTN‟T)
português.
SHALL SHALL NOT (SHAN‟T)
WILL WILL NOT (WON‟T) You should see a doctor. (You ought to see a doctor).
COULD COULD NOT (COULDN‟T)
MIGHT MIGHT NOT (MIGHTN‟T  OUGHT TO é o único modal que é seguido por verbo no infinitivo com TO.
OUGHT TO OUGHT NOT TO (OUGHTN‟T TO)  Em alguns casos, principalmente, quando expressam conselho, advertência, SHOULD e OUGHT
SHOULD SHOULD NOT (SHOULDN‟T) TO podem ser traduzidos por devia.
WOULD WOULD NOT (WOULDN‟T)
 SHOULD também é usado para:
Observação:
. WILL e SHALL são exceções! São os únicos modals que indicam especificamente o tempo, no a) expressar ou pedir opinião
caso, futuro. I think Paul should be more polite! (Acho que Paul deveria ser mais educado!)
. Convém salientar que, em alguns casos, COULD é o passado de CAN.
4.1 – WILL b) dizer que alguma coisa não está certa ou não é o que esperávamos.
Peter shouldn‟t be watching TV; he should be doing his homework. (Peter não deveria estar
MODAL Usado para exemplo assistindo TV; deveria estar fazendo sua tarefa de casa).

WILL * Formar o simple future He will come later.


* Dar um tom polido (educado) a Will you close the door, The butter is on the table but it should be in the fridge. (A manteiga está na mesa, mas deveria
perguntas. please? estar na geladeira.)

SHALL * Formar o simple future com I e We shall arrive at noon.


WE (inglês britânico) c) dizer que alguma coisa deverá (provavelmente) acontecer.
* sugerir, propor, seguido de Vivien should pass the test very easily. (Vivien deverá passar no teste com muita facilidade).

[Curso Preparatório Cidade] 75


4.3 – CAN c) Na negativa, MUST NOT expressa proibição.
You mustn‟t park here. (Você não pode estacionar aqui.)
Em português, CAN corresponde a poder em seus diversos sentidos.

a) CAN expressa capacidade, habilidade, permissão informal, pedido informal e possibilidade.

Can you lift this suitcase? (Você consegue levanter esta mala?) – capacidade
She can speak French very well. (Ela fala Francês muito bem.) – habilidade
Can I go with you? (Posso ir com você?) – permissão informal
Can you help me? (Você pode me ajudar?) – pedido informal
It can be dangerous. (Isso pode ser perigoso.) – possibilidade.

b) CAN‟T é usado freqüentemente em exclamações com sentido de não é possível que...


I can‟t have slept more than 30 minutes! (Não posso ter dormido mais de 30 minutos!)

4.4 – MUST

Em português, MUST corresponde a dever, podendo indicar probabilidade e obrigação (ou


necessidade).

a) Usamos MUST, expressando probabilidade, quando temos uma evidência do fato a que nos
referimos.

Why isn‟t John in class? (Por que John não está na aula?)
He must be sick, because when I saw him yesterday he wasn‟t feeling well. (Ele deve estar
doente, porque, quando o vi ontem, ele não estava se sentindo bem.)

b) Para expressar obrigação, necessidade, usamos MUST (só para o presente) e HAVE TO ou NEED
TO (que servem tanto para o presente como para os demais tempos.)

I must go to the class today. (Eu preciso ir à aula hoje)


I had to go to class yesterday. (Eu tive que ir à aula ontem.)
