elementos da família.

Jame’s parents are ALbert and Mary Layzell. His grand-parents’ first names are Charles and
Hilda. Diana is Mary’s sister and Jame’s aunt. Her children are Peter and Tim. They are Jame’s
cousins. Tim and Peter’s father is John Panicop. Jame’s brother and sisters are David, Stella
and Laura. So, James and David are Stella and Laura’s brothers.

Talking about family!

Com base no que aprendeu e nas informações que te são fornecidas em Useful
information, já será capaz de completar a árvore de James com a relação de parentesco em
falta, identificar as relações familiares de Peter e escrevê-las na sua árvore genealógica,
além de descrever a sua própria família.

My parents are ______________ and ________________ . My

grandparents’ first name are __________ and

 Parents: father and mother;
 Children: son and daughter;
 Grandchildren: grandson and granddaughter;
 Husband and wife;
 Brother and sister;
 Uncle and aunt;
 Cousin (male or female).

Flexão dos nomes

Tal como em português, para formar o plural dos nomes, acrescenta-se-lhes um –s.

Ex:

Brother – Brothers
Sister – Sisters
Cousin - Cousins

No entanto, algumas palavras formam o plural em –en. Veja como se forma o plural de
child:

Ex:

Child – Children

O caso possessivo (o uso do genitivo)

Se reparares no texto sobre a família de James, verificas que as relações familiares se

exprimem utilizando o caso possessivo:

Jame’s parents are Albert and Mary Layzell.

Mas ‘s não é a unica forma que o caso possessive pode tomar. As várias formas são as
seguintes:

 Com nomes no singular, acrescentado –s ao possuidor

 Mary is Hilda’s daughter

13
 Com nomes no plural, não terminados em –s, acrescentando –‘s:
 The children’s father is Albert.

 Com nomes no plural, terminados em –s, acrescentando apenas o apóstrofo:

 The brothers’ sister is Stella.

 Quando o possuidor é representado por uma série de palavras, a terminação

possessiva usa-se na última:
 Tim and Peter’s father is John Panicop.

James: I wouldn’t miss my holidays here! I like Portuguese weather very much.

Peter: I love the food and the beaches. I swim every day.

Paola: What do you do when you stay at home?

Peter: I also swim in the morning, twice a week at least.

Paola: What! In the sea?

Peter: No. The water is too cold! I go to the swimming pool with my brother. It’s near
home, so we go on foot.

James: We also play tennis and do athletics. In winter people also like playing ice hockey
and skiing.

Maria: I prefer dancing to skiing. I attend dance lessons every day. My father drives me
there when he goes to work. After lessons, I walk back home because I like keeping fit.

Paola: I don’t like dancing. I hate sports! I like going to the cinema by car or by bus or any
by other public transport. I hate walking!

Peter: How do you keep fit Paola?
