 Unidade1: OBJECT PRONOUNS

Subject Pronoun Object Pronoun

I ME
YOU (singular) YOU
HE HIM
SHE HER
IT IT
WE US
YOU (plural) YOU
THEY THEM

Give me your hand.

Sheila called you last night.
John gave her a ring.

Usamos os object pronouns para substituir o objeto de uma frase.

Normalmente, estes pronomes aparecem após um verbo ou uma
preposição. Observe:

Brad Pitt is a good actor.

I like Brad Pitt.

Se já estamos falando de uma pessoa em específico (Brad Pitt), não

há a necessidade de repetir o seu nome em uma segunda frase. Neste caso,
usamos um object pronoun:

Brad Pitt is a good actor.

I like him.

EXERCISE

Answer the questions using I like, I don‟t like, I love or I hate, followed
by an object pronoun.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF BRAD PITT?

I like him.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ANGELINA JOLIE?

1.1 POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

Subject Pronoun Possessive Pronoun

I MINE
YOU (singular) YOURS
HE HIS
SHE HERS
IT ITS
WE OURS
YOU (plural) YOURS
THEY THEIRS

Hey, be careful with this car. It’s mine.

Excuse me, is this bag yours?
Whose computer is it? / It’s hers.

No curso básico vimos os possessive adjectives, que indicam

posse e ocupam o lugar de um adjetivo (antes do substantivo) na frase.
It’s my house.

8
 Agora veremos os possessive pronouns, que aparecem no lugar de
um de um adjetivo possessivo + substantivo. Observe:

It’s my house.
It’s mine.

Os possessive pronouns não vêm seguido de um substantivo e não

suportam o artigo the antes. Veja:

It’s mine house. It’s mine.

This is the yours.This is yours.

EXERCISE

Rephrase the following statements using a possessive pronoun.

This is my car. This car is mine.

These are your keys.  _________________________
They are their kids.  _________________________
That is our room.  _________________________
This is his car.  _________________________

EXERCISE

Complete with a possessive pronoun.

Are these your keys? / No, they are his. (he)

Whose books are these? / They’re _________. (she)

Is this _________? (you) / No, it isn’t. It’s _________. (they)

Is our car Italian? / No, _________ (we) is German.

If this is your cell phone, where is __________ (I)?

How was your test? _________ (we) wasn’t very good.

Which one is my pen? / This one is _________ (I). The black one is
_________ (you).

Unidade 2: SIMPLE PRESENT vs. PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Janet works from Monday to Friday.

Today is Thursday, so she is working now.

June studies a lot during the week.

Today is Saturday, so she isn’t studying now.

Neste capítulo veremos a diferença entre o simple presente o present

continuous.

Usamos o simple present para falarmos sobre rotinas, hábitos ou fatos

no geral.

Observe:

Janet works from Monday to Friday.

June studies a lot during the week.
I love classical music.

Nos exemplos acima todas as frases estão no simple present, pois se

referem a rotinas (work, study) e um fato/preferência (love classical music).

O present continuous é usado quando nos referimos a uma ação que

acontece, ou não, no momento em que se fala. Observe:

She is working now.

She isn’t studying now.
Is she going to school now?

Nos exemplos acima, foi empregado o present continuous, pois as

ações estão acontecendo no momento em que o seu autor fala.

10
FORMULA – SIMPLE PRESENT
SUBJECT + VERB IN THE BASE FORM W/OUT TO + COMPLEMENT

I work on weekends.

*lembrando que na terceira pessoa do singular (he, she, it) acrescenta-se um

som de S ao verbo

FORMULA – PRESENT CONTINUOUS

SUBJECT + BE + VERB + -ING + COMPLEMENT
I am working right now.

EXERCISE

Complete the sentences with the simple present or present continuous.

Oh, I think the baby is crying. (cry)

When I finish work, I usually ______ (go) jogging at the park.

I can’t sleep at night, my brother and his girlfriend ________ (argue) all the
time on the phone.

My son is on vacation. I’m sure he ____________(have) a great time.

Listen! They ______________(give) a party across the street. / Yes, it’s true.

They ____________(give) parties at least once a week.

Honey, you never _____________(go) to the supermarket. We need food, so

I _______________ (go) there now, ok?

11
Unidade3: WH-QUESTIONS

(auxiliaryand modal verbs)

Nesta seção trabalharemos com as principais question words

usando o verbo verbos auxiliares e modais. Question words são palavras
que usamos, na maioria das vezes, para fazer perguntas que não podem ser
respondidas com yes or no. Observe:

DO YOU WORK IN SÃO PAULO?

YES, I DO.

WHERE DO YOU WORK?

I WORK IN SÃO PAULO.

Veja que no segundo exemplo utilizamos a question word where, o

que torna a pergunta impossível de ser respondida com um simples yes or
no, nos obrigando a dar uma informação mais específica.

Trabalharemos aqui com as 15 principais question words:

WHICH?  QUAL? / QUAIS? WHEN?  QUANDO?

WHY?  POR QUÊ? WHERE? ONDE?

WHOSE?  DE QUEM? WHO? QUEM?

HOW MANY?  QUANTOS? / HOW?  COMO?

QUANTAS?

HOW OLD? QUANTOS ANOS? HOW MUCH? QUANTO? /

QUANTA?

12
HOW LONG? QUANTO TEMPO? HOW FAR?  QUE DISTÂNCIA?

WHAT TIME?  QUE HORAS? HOW OFTEN? COM QUE

FREQUÊNCIA?

WHAT?  O QUE? / QUAL?

A maioria das question words apresentadas começam com wh-,

por isso essas perguntas são chamadas de wh-questions. How, apesar de
começar com h- apenas, entra no mesmo grupo por ter a mesma função que
as outras palavras.

Vamos aprender como formular perguntas usando essas palavras

e alguns verbos auxiliares. Primeiro vamos relembrar como fazermos uma
interrogativa comum.

YOU WORK IN SÃO PAULO.

DO YOU WORK IN SÃO PAULO?

Agora pegaremos a pergunta e esconderemos uma informação.

DO YOU WORK IN SÃO PAULO?DO YOU WORK_______?

Essa informação que escondemos é a que vamos descobrir usando uma

question word, que neste caso será „Where?’.

DO YOU WORK IN SÃO PAULO?DO YOU WORK _______?

WHERE DO YOU WORK?

Observe que mantemos a estrutura da interrogativa e apenas

acrescentamos uma question word antes do verbo auxiliar do.

O mesmo processo se aplica na terceira pessoa (does) e nos outros

tempos verbais (passado e futuro).

HE WORKS IN SÃO PAULO. DOES HE WORK IN SÃO PAULO? DOES

HE WORK ________?
WHERE DO THEY WORK?

Vejamos outros exemplos.

JANE WORKED ON SATURDAY. DID JANE WORK ON SATURDAY?
DID JANE WORK _______?

WHEN DID JANE WORK?

13
 Neste caso utilizamos a palavra ‘When?’ porque a informação que
escondemos é quando Jane trabalhou. Vejamos um exemplo similar no
futuro:

JANE WILL WORK NEXT SATURDAY..WILL JANE WORK NEXT

SATURDAY? WILL JANE WORK_______?

WHEN WILLJANE WORK?

O mesmo processo se aplica para formularmos perguntas com

verbos modais. Observe:

HE CAN DRIVE WELL. CAN HE DRIVE WELL? CAN HE DRIVE

_____?

HOW CAN HE DRIVE?

I COULD RUN 10km. COULD I RUN 10km? COULD I RUN ______?

HOW MUCH COULD I RUN?

I SHOULD DO MORE EXERCISE. SHOULD I DO MORE EXERCISE?

SHOULD I DO _______?

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

14
Unidade 4: HOW MANY / HOW MUCH

Quando usamos as question words acima (quantos e quanto

respectivamente) devemos prestar atenção a um detalhe.

Veja o exemplo:

THEY HAVE 5 KIDS.  DO THEY HAVE 5 KIDS?  DO THEY HAVE ____

KIDS?

HOW MANY KIDS DO THEY HAVE?

SHE DRINKS A LOT OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING.  DOES SHE

DRINK A LOT OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING? DOES SHE DRINK ________

COFFEE IN THE MORNING?

HOW MUCH COFFEE DOES SHE DRINK IN THE MORNING?

Nestes casos, deve-se usar um substantivo entre a question word

e o verbo auxiliar/modal para que a pergunta faça sentido

15
EXERCISE

Make wh-questions considering the underlined words as the information to

be hidden.

They live in New York.

Where do they live?

They lived in Tokyo for ten years.

Unidade 5: COUNTABLE / UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

I eat an apple every morning.

I eat cheese every morning.

Em ingles podemos dividir os substantivos em contáveis

(anapple) e incontáveis (cheese). Substantivos contáveis são aqueles que
podem ser contados e possuem uma forma singular (apple) e plural (apples).

Já os incontáveis possuem apenas uma forma, geralmente

singular (cheese).

COUNTABLE NOUNS

1. Permitem o uso dos artigos a/an

I bought a computer.
She works in an airplane.

2. Permite o uso de some/any(algum/alguns)

We bought some DVD’s.

Did you eat any apples?

3. Permite o uso de many (muitos/muitas) e few (poucos/poucas)

We didn’t eat many eggs.

I have few things to do at work.

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

1. não permite os artigos a/an

I ate a bread this morning.

2. Permite o uso de some /any

17
I listen to some music before sleeping.
Did you get any milk?

3. Permite o uso de much (muito/muita) e little (pouco/pouca)

We didn‟t do much exercise today.

I have little homework to finish.

Por não haver uma regra clara para diferenciar um substantivo

contável de um incontável em inglês, segue uma pequena lista para guiá-los
durante o curso:

COUNTABLE UNCOUNTABLE
Banana Rice
Song Music
Beach Sand
Note / Bill Money
Battery Electricity
Student Blood
Umbrella Shopping
Photograph Work
Thing Bread
- liquids in general

Alguns substantivos podem ser usados como contáveis e incontáveis, com

uma diferença no significado.

noise barulho / a noise um barulho específico

hair todo o cabelo / a hair um fio de cabelo

paperpapel no geral / a paper um jornal (a newspaper)

coffee a bebida enquanto líquido / a coffee, two coffees uma ou duas

xícaras de café

orange juice o suco enquanto líquido / an orange juice um copo de suco

de laranja

Se quisermos quantificar um substantivo incontável, podemos usar algumas

expressões muito comuns. Observe:

watera glass of water (um copo de água)

coffeea cup of coffee (uma xícara de café)
cheesea piece of cheese (um pedaço de queijo)
breada slice of Bread (uma fatia de pão)
cereala bowl of cereal (uma tigela de cereal)
ricea grain of rice (um grão de arroz)

(a lot, not much, all, every)

HOW MANY QUANTOS / QUANTAS

HOW MUCH QUANTO / QUANTA

ALL TODO / TODA / TODOS / TODAS

EVERYTHING TUDO

EVERYBODY / EVERYONE TODOS / TODAS AS PESSOAS / TODO

O falante apenas expressa que nunca teve a experiência.

2.Have you been to New York? / Yes, I have. It’s wonderful.

Na pergunta não é importante saber quando a pessoa esteve em Nova

Iorque, e sim SE ela esteve ou não.

23
3. You have read that book several times.

Não é importante dizer quando o livro foi lido, e sim que ele foi
lido diversas vezes.

4. We have worked in the same company for 7 years.

O falante usa o present perfect para dizer que ainda trabalha na

empresa, onde temos uma ação que começou há 7 anos (work) e ainda
acontece hoje em dia

FORMULAS

SUBJECT + HAVE / HAS + PAST I HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE

PARTICIPLE (3rd column) + SEVERAL TIMES.
RESTaff. + HE HAS SEEN THAT MOVIE
SEVERAL TIMES.

SUBJECT + *HAVEN‟T / HASN‟T + I HAVEN’T SEEN THAT MOVIE

PAST PARTICIPLE (3rd column) + SEVERAL TIMES.
REST  neg. – HE HASN’T SEEN THAT MOVIE
SEVERAL TIMES.

HAVE / HAS + SUBJECT + PAST HAVE YOU SEEN THAT MOVIE

PARTICIPLE (3rd column) + REST SEVERAL TIMES?
int. + HAS HE SEEN THAT MOVIE
SEVERAL TIMES?

*haven’t = have not / hasn’t = has not

Lembrando que:

- no Present Perfect conjugamos o verbo usando o seu past participle, ou

seja, a terceira coluna da lista de verbos irregulares

- para verbos regulares, acrescenta-se apenas a terminação –ed, assim

como no Simple Past

24
Nas frases afirmativas, podemos usar algumas contractions.

Observe:

I have = I‟ve You have = You‟ve

He has = He‟s She has = She‟s

Unidade 8: PRESENT PERFECT vs. SIMPLE PAST

I’ve tried Indian food.

I tried it last week.

No primeiro exemplo, o falante apenas expressa que teve tal

experiência. Enquanto no segundo, ele especifica quando a ação aconteceu
(last week).

Have you been to New York? / Yes, I have. It’s wonderful.

I went to NY when I was a teenager.

Na primeira pergunta e resposta não é importante saber quando a

pessoa esteve em Nova Iorque, e sim SE ela esteve ou não. Enquanto no
segundo exemplo, o falante especifica quando esteve em Nova Iorque
(when I was a teenager).

I have read that book several times.

I read it for the last time last month.

No primeiro exemplo não é importante dizer quando o livro foi lido,

e sim que ele foi lido diversas vezes. Enquanto no segundo, o falante diz
quando ele o leu pela última vez (last month).

We have worked in the same company for 7 years.

We started in 2005.

O falante usa o present perfect, no primeiro exemplo,para dizer

que ainda trabalha na empresa, onde temos uma ação que começou há 7
anos (work) e ainda acontece hoje em dia. Já no segundo exemplo, é
especificado o ano em que a ação começou a acontecer (in 2005).

I’ve worked here for 10 years.

I worked here for 10 years.

26
 No primeiro exemplo é usado o present perfect para indicar que é
uma ação iniciada no passado (há 10 anos) e que ainda acontece hoje em
dia, ou seja, a pessoa ainda trabalha na empresa. Já no segundo, com o
simple past temos uma ação iniciada e finalizada no passado, ou seja, o
falante trabalhou na empresa por 10 anos, porém não trabalha mais.

Resumindo, usamos o Present Perfect quando:

- falamos de uma ação iniciada no passado, mas que ainda não foi finalizada
- falamos de uma ação no passado, mas não dizemos quando ela
aconteceu, e sim se ela aconteceu

E usamos o Simple Past quando:

- falamos de uma ação iniciada e finalizada no passado

- falamos de uma ação no passado e dizemos quando ela aconteceu

EXERCISE

Complete the sentences with the Present Perfect or the Simple Past tenses.

My brother‟s wife had twins last weekend. (have)

My hometown __________ so much since I moved to NY. (change)

We _______________ college last year. (finish)

I ___________ in SP since 1990. (live)

My parents work in a supermarket. They ___________ there all their life.

(work)

When _______ John Lennon _______? (die)

And how long _______ The Beatles __________ together? (stay)

_______ you _______ that new movie? (watch)

27
Unidade 9: PRESENT PERFECT with HOW LONG, SINCE and FOR

How long have you lived in São Paulo?

I’ve lived in São Paulo since 1999. / I’ve lived in São Paulo for 3 years.
How long have you worked here?
I’ve worked here since2001. / I’ve worked here for 11 years.

Podemos usar o Present Perfect com HOW LONG para perguntar

sobre o período de duração de uma ação iniciada no passado e ainda não
finalizada.

Para responder a esta pergunta, podemos usar SINCE ou FOR para

especificar esse período de duração.

SINCE + starting point in the past

(usamos since quando dizemos quando a ação começou)

FOR + period of time

(usamos for quando dizemos o tempo de duração desta ação)

Observe:
I
’ve studied English since 1995. (desde 1995)
I’ve studied English for 17 years. (por 17 anos)

Lembrando que apesar de português utilizarmos o presente simples

nestes casos, não faremos o mesmo em inglês.

28
Veja:

Eu moro em São Paulo há 10 anos. I live in São Paulo for 10 years.

e sim:

Eu moro em São Paulo há 10 anos. I’ve lived in São Paulo for 10 years.

EXERCISE

Write questions in the present perfect with HOW LONG and then answer
them.

she / live in Brazil

How long has she lived in Brazil?

She has lived in Brazil since 2010.

Jane / be a doctor
_________________________________
She ___________________ 35 years.

Brazil / be an independent country

_________________________________
Brazil ____________________ 1822.

Your neighbors / have their pets

_________________________________

They _________________ 2 months only.

PRESENT PERFECT with EVER and NEVER

Have you ever been to Disney?

No, I’ve never been there.

Have you ever tried Indian food?

No, I’ve never tried it. It’s not my type.

Usa-se ever quando se quer saber se alguém já fez algo ou teve alguma
experiência alguma vez na vida.

Have you ever been to Disney?

(Você já foi para Disney?)

Have you ever tried Indian food?

(Você já experimentou comida indiana?)

29
 A palavra ever com o sentido de já só pode ser usada em uma
pergunta.
Para afirmativas usa-se already, que será visto a seguir.

Uma forma de se negar no Present Perfect é o uso do never em uma

frase afirmativa. Usamos essa estratégia quando queremos enfatizar que
nunca fizemos algo ou tivemos certa experiência.

I’ve never been to Disney.

I’ve never tried Indian food.

Observe que nos exemplos acima utilizamos a forma afirmativa

(I’ve) seguida de never.

PRESENT PERFECT with YET and ALREADY

I haven’t finished my homework yet.

(Eu ainda não terminei meu dever de casa.)

She hasn’t got married yet.

(Ela ainda não se casou.)

Usamos yet no fim de frases negativas quando queremos dizer

que algo ainda não aconteceu, mas que provavelmente irá acontecer.

I’ve already finished my homework.

(Eu já terminei meu dever de casa.)

She’s already gotten married.

(Ela já se casou.)

Usamos already entre o auxiliar have / has e o verbo principal em

frases afirmativas quando queremos enfatizar que algo já aconteceu.

EXERCISE

Write affirmative or negative sentences using yet and already. Use the
Present Perfect tense.

he / wash the dishes (already)

He has already washed the dishes.

the game / start (already)

___________________________________________________

Unidade 10: WH-QUESTIONS

(aux. verbs)

Nesta seção trabalharemos com as principais question words

usando verbos auxiliares. Question words são palavras que usamos, na
maioria das vezes, para fazer perguntas que não podem ser respondidas
com Yes or no.

Trabalharemos aqui com as 15 principais question words.

31
São elas:

WHAT?  O QUE? / QUAL?

WHEN?  QUANDO?
WHICH?  QUAL? / QUAIS?
WHERE? ONDE?
WHY?  POR QUE?
WHO? QUEM?
WHOSE?  DE QUEM?
HOW?  COMO?
HOW MANY?  QUANTOS? / QUANTAS?
HOW MUCH? QUANTO? / QUANTA?
HOW OLD? QUANTOS ANOS?
HOW FAR?  QUE DISTÂNCIA?
HOW LONG? QUANTO TEMPO?
HOW OFTEN? COM QUE FREQUÊNCIA?
WHAT TIME? QUE HORAS?

Vamos aprender como formular perguntas usando essas palavras e

os verbos auxiliares (do / does / did / will / have / has). Primeiro vamos
relembrar como fazer uma interrogativa comum.

HE STUDIES IN THE MORNINGS.

DOES HE STUDY IN THE MORNINGS?

Agora pegaremos a pergunta e esconderemos uma informação.

DOES HE STUDY IN THE MORNINGS?DOES HE STUDY _______?

Essa informação que escondemos é a que vamos descobrir usando uma

question word, que neste caso será „When?’.

DOES HE STUDY IN THE MORNINGS?DOES HE STUDY _______?

WHEN DOES HE STUDY?

Observe que mantemos a estrutura da interrogativa e apenas

acrescentamos uma question word antes do verbo auxiliar does. O mesmo
processo se aplica nos outros tempos verbais (passado e futuro).

THEY STUDY IN THE MORNINGS. DO THEY STUDY IN THE

MORNINGS? DO THEY STUDY ________?
WHEN DO THEY STUDY?

32
Vejamos outros exemplos.

JANE LIVED IN LONDON. DID JANE LIVE IN LONDON? DID JANE

LIVE IN _______?

WHERE DID JANE LIVE?

Neste caso utilizamos a palavra ‘Where?’ porque a informação

que escondemos é o lugar onde Jane vive.

EXERCISE
Make wh-questions considering the underlined words as the information to
be hidden.

(Faça wh-questions considerando as palavras sublinhadas como as

informações a serem escondidas.)

They live in Helskinki.

Where do they live?

The train arrived at 5 o‟clock.

10.1 WH-QUESTIONS

(no subject)

Who works here?

What begins at 10 o’clock?
Who lived next-door in the past?

Ainda no assunto das wh-questions, podemos montar perguntas sem

um sujeito. Para tal, costumamos usar as questions words who quando o
sujeito a ser descoberto é uma pessoa ou what quando não.

Quando fazemos uma pergunta sem sujeito utilizando uma wh-

question, a conjugação, independente do tempo verbal, é feita sempre na
terceira pessoa do singular, mesmo se a resposta estiver no plural.

Veja:

Who works here?simple present

Who worked here?simple past
Who will work here? simple future
