II - Present Continuous
Uso:
Usamos o Present Continuous para expressar uma ação que está acontecendo agora,
tanto no sentido de estar ocorrendo nesse exato momento, quanto em um sentido mais amplo
(hoje, este mês, este ano, este século), de uma ação mais duradoura, que está em processo por
um período mais longo. Usamos o Present Continuous também para expressar uma ação que
acontecerá em um futuro próximo. Além desses usos, também podemos usá-lo com os
advérbios “always” e “constantly” para dizer que algo irritante ou chocante acontece sempre
ou repetidamente (note que esse uso é o mesmo do Simple Present, mas com sentido negativo).

Uso:
O Simple Past descreve uma ação que já ocorreu e que não ocorre mais. A ação teve
início e fim no passado. Ações acabadas em um tempo definido. Frequentemente, é usado com
advérbios de tempo como yesterday, yesterday morning, last week, last month, last night, the
day before yesterday, three years ago, in 1998, in the twentieth century, etc. O momento
quando o fato ocorreu pode ser expresso ou apenas subentendido.
Primeiramente iremos estudar o Simple Past dos Verbos Regulares que, de um modo
geral, é formado acrescentando-se “-ed” à forma básica dos verbos. No Simple Past, o verbo
NÃO é flexionado em nenhuma pessoa, repetindo-se em todas elas.
AFFIRMATIVE FORM:
Singular
I
worked -
You
He
She worked -
It
Plural
We
You worked -
They
14
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
PARTICULARIDADES DA ORTOGRAFIA DO SIMPLE PAST:
• Nos verbos terminados em “e”, adiciona-se apenas a letra “-d” à forma básica do
verbo:
hope - hoped
change - changed
like - liked
behave - behaved
lie - lied
live - lived
love - loved
arrive - arrived
invite - invited
snore – snored
• Nos verbos oxítonos (ou seja, que têm a última sílaba tônica ou uma única sílaba)
terminados em CVC (consoante/vogal/consoante), dobra-se a última consoante antes
de acrescentar-se o “-ed”:
stop - stopped
permit - permitted
occur - occurred
rob - robbed
admit - admitted
prefer - preferred
omit - omitted
control - controlled
drop - dropped
plan - planned
shop – shopped
• No Inglês Britânico, se o verbo termina com a letra "L", dobra-se essa consoante,
mesmo que a última sílaba não seja tônica.
travel - travelled
rival - rivalled
• Nos verbos terminados em “y” precedido de consoante, troca-se o “y” por “i” antes
de acrescentar-se o “-ed”:
study - studied
carry - carried
worry - worried
try - tried
hurry - hurried
cry - cried
• Quando o “y” for precedido de vogal, não há mudança ortográfica, bastando apenas
acrescentar-se o “-ed” ao verbo:
pray - prayed
enjoy - enjoyed
obey - obeyed
play - played
15
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
As formas negativas e interrogativas do Simple Past são formadas com o verbo auxiliar
“did” (passado de “do”), acompanhado do verbo principal na Forma Básica.
NEGATIVE FORM:
Para se formar uma oração negativa no Simple Past, usa-se “did not” para todas as
pessoas, pois como já vimos anteriormente, no Simple Past, o verbo NÃO é flexionado em
nenhuma pessoa. O verbo auxiliar “did” + “not” posicionam-se sempre entre o sujeito e o verbo
principal.
Singular
I
did not work didn't work
You
He
Steve did not work as much as Paul./Steve didn't work as much as Paul.
He did not pay the bill./He didn't pay the bill.
She did not work yesterday./She didn't work yesterday.
He did not taste the pasta at lunch./He didn't taste the pasta at lunch.
We did not say that!/We didn't say that!
16
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
INTERROGATIVE FORM:
Para formar uma oração interrogativa no Simple Past, usa-se “did” antes do sujeito. O
verbo permanece na Forma Básica, uma vez que, no Simple Past, o verbo NÃO é flexionado em
nenhuma pessoa.
Singular
I
Did work...?
you
he
work...?
Did she
it
Plural
we
they

Os Verbos Irregulares não seguem as regras gerais de formação do Simple Past, isto é,
cada um tem uma forma própria de passado. Sendo assim, é necessário estudá-los um a um.

IV - Past Continuous
Uso:
O Past Continuous, basicamente, é usado para descrever uma ação em andamento num
determinado momento no passado; para narrar as circunstâncias de uma situação passada;
descrever ações em andamento simultâneo (nesses casos, geralmente usa-se a conjunção
while); e falar/indicar uma ação habitual que ocorria no passado (aqui, normalmente se usa os
advérbios de freqüência: constantly, often, always).
Estrutura:
O Past Continuous é formado pelo Simple Past do verbo “be” (was/were) + Progressive
Form (-ing) do verbo principal.
AFFIRMATIVE FORM:
Singular
I was working -
He -
It -
Plural
We -
They -

Uso:
O Simple Future é usado para afirmar fatos futuros (o que vai ou deverá acontecer) em
um futuro não imediato; expressar ações prováveis no futuro e previsões baseadas em fatos
ou ideias; expressar intenções e fatos decididos durante o ato da fala; para fazer ou negar um
pedido de forma educada; fazer uma oferta ou se oferecer indiretamente para fazer alguma
coisa:

INTERROGATIVE FORM:
Singular
Will I work...?
Will you work...?
he
it
Plural
we
they
OBSERVAÇÕES:
• NÃO USE will em situações que já foram previamente planejadas ou decididas. Nessas
situações, utilizamos o “Be Going To” ou o Present Continuous.
There's a good film on TV tonight. I'm going to watch it. (E não “I'll watch it.”)
I'm working on Saturday. (E não “I'll work on Saturday.”)
• Antigamente, a partícula will possuía a forma shall para as primeiras pessoas do singular
e plural (I shall/we shall). Hoje em dia, shall é raramente usado, para enfatizar que algo
vai ou deve ocorrer, ou em registros muito formais.
28
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
I shall be late this afternoon. (= I'll be late this afternoon.)
I shall return to Brazil in January. (= I will return to Brazil in January.)
We shall buy everything you need. (= We'll buy everything you need.)
The company rules state that no employee shall smoke on the company premises.
• Shall I...?/ Shall we...? têm o mesmo significado de “Do you think it's a good thing to
do? Do you think this is a good idea?” Nesse sentido, quando o locutor está se
oferecendo para fazer alguma coisa, ou está sugerindo algo, querendo saber se a outra
pessoa aceita a sugestão, usamos shall, NUNCA will.
It's very warm in this room. Shall I open the door?
29
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
Uso:
Empregamos o Future “Going To” para falar de ações e eventos no futuro que
apresentam, de alguma maneira, uma realidade presente (daí utilizarmos o Present Participle
do verbo go para construí-lo). Se dissermos que algo no futuro “is going to happen”, significa
que já foi previamente planejado ou decidido; está começando a acontecer, ou que podemos
visualizar sua ocorrência no momento presente; ou previsões expressas com grande margem
de segurança; pode também ser usada para insistir a outras pessoas que façam ou não algo
(advertir, avisar).
Esta estrutura é muito comum no estilo informal, principalmente na fala cotidiana (já
que os diálogos tratam frequentemente de ações e eventos futuros deste estilo).
Estrutura:
O Future “Going To” é formado pelo Simple Present do verbo “be” (am/is/are) + going
to + Base Form do verbo principal.
AFFIRMATIVE FORM:
Singular
I am going to work I’m going to work

OBSERVAÇÕES:

repetição de go na oração:
Peter is going to go to New Zealand. (= Peter is going to New Zealand.)
32
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
present = presente;
perfect = concluído.
Uso:
O Present Perfect é usado para referir-se a ações que ocorrerram num tempo
indefinido no PASSADO; expressar ações que começaram no passado e se prolongam até o
presente (normalmente usado com since ou for); ou ações que ocorreram num tempo ainda
não terminado.
Note que alguns conceitos de tempo cronológico e tempo verbal podem não ser
equivalentes em línguas e culturas diferentes. O falante nativo de inglês, mesmo
inconscientemente, faz uso dessa noção de tempo que relaciona o passado ao presente quando
se comunica utilizando o Present Perfect.
Estrutura:
O Present Perfect é formado pelo Simple Present do verbo auxiliar have (= has/have) +
Past Participle do verbo principal.
A forma Past Participle dos verbos regulares é a mesma do Simple Past, ou seja, basta
acrescentar-se -ed à Base Form do verbo (com atenção às observações ortográficas, quando for
o caso).
O has/have funciona como verbo auxiliar nos tempos perfeitos presentes e, como tal,
NÃO TEM SIGNIFICADO, assim como o auxiliar do/does no Simple Present.

OBSERVAÇÃO:
• Just (há pouco) - para indicar que as ações ocorreram num passado bem recente:
We have just known each other.
I have just seen your sister.
They have just arrived from Belfast.
• Already (já) - para indicar que a ação já ocorreu. É usado apenas em frases afirmativas
e interrogativas (caso haja a expectativa de uma resposta afirmativa), sendo
posicionado sempre antes do verbo principal:
She has already arrived home.
They have already gone to the birthday's party.
I have already seen this movie.
Have you already read this book?
• Yet (já; ainda) - é usado em frases negativas com sentido de ainda; em frases
interrogativas, é usado significando já. Posiciona-se SEMPRE no final da frase.
We have not decided our topic yet.
She has not come from lunch yet.
36
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
Have you talked to your teacher yet?
• Ever (já; alguma vez) - é usado para saber se a ação já aconteceu alguma vez.
Geralmente ocorre em perguntas:
Have you ever travelled abroad?
Has she ever been to Salvador?
Have you ever flown Air France?
* Ever também é usado com o superlativo para indicar que algo é o maior, o melhor, o
mais interessante que alguém já viu, leu, fez, trabalhou, etc.:
He is the busiest man I have ever known.
• O Present Perfect pode expressar ações passadas que ACABARAM em um tempo NÃO
DEFINIDO no passado; ações que AINDA NÃO TERMINARAM, ou seja, que
começaram no passado e ainda se estendem até o presente; ou ações que ocorreram
num tempo ainda não terminado.
I have worked hard (?). (Present Perfect)
They have been here since midday. (Present Perfect)
I have seen her today. (Present Perfect)
37
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
Uso:
Estrutura:
O Present Perfect Continuous é formado pelo Simple Present do verbo auxiliar have (=
has/have) + Past Participle do verbo “be” (= been) + Progressive Form (-ing) do verbo principal:
AFFIRMATIVE FORM:
Singular
I have been working I’ve been working

INTERROGATIVE FORM:
Singular

Plural

OBSERVAÇÕES:
• Usa-se também o Present Perfect Continuous para falar sobre ações passadas que
acabaram de ser concluídas, cujos efeitos ou consequências são evidentes no presente:
I'm hot because I've been runnnig.
• Usa-se ainda o Present Perfect Continuous para expressar um fato genérico que está
em progresso em período de tempo não específico. Nesse caso, podem ser usados os
advérbios lately (ultimamente), recently (recentemente), etc.
I've been thinking of looking for a different job.
My hand hurts, so I've not been using the computer lately.
40
LÍNGUA INGLESA
Professor: Marcelo Pimentel Farias
Uso:
O Past Perfect é usado para descrever uma ação que ocorreu no passado, ANTES de
outra ação também passada (passado anterior a outro passado). O Past Perfect, que expressa
o primeiro fato (o que ocorreu primeiro), está sempre relacionado a um fato posterior, expresso
pelo o Simple Past. É usado também com o advérbio just para expressar uma ação que tenha
acabado de acontecer antes de outra ação no passado. Também usado com os advérbios
already, when, by the time, never, ever, before, after.
Estrutura:
O Past Perfect é formado pelo Simple Past do verbo have (= had) + Past Participle do
verbo principal. Lembre-se de que o Past Participle dos verbos regulares terminam em -ed, e os
verbos irregulares possuem forma própria.
O had funciona como verbo auxiliar nos tempos perfeitos passados e, como tal, NÃO
TEM SIGNIFICADO, assim como o auxiliar did no Simple Past.

XI - Future Continuous
Uso:
Usamos o Future Continuous para expressar ações ou estados temporários que estarão
em andamento num momento determinado no futuro ou que se estenderão por um período
de tempo limitado. Para indicar esse momento determinado, o ouvinte/interlocutor geralmente
sabe de quando estamos falando, pois são usadas expressões que marcam um tempo futuro,
seja por volta de um certo horário ou tempo não tão específico ou uma ação que estará em
andamento no futuro quando outra já tiver ocorrido (também num tempo futuro). Ou seja, o
Future Continuous relaciona dois tempos futuros; também é usado para perguntar sobre
planos futuros de maneira indireta; e falar de fatos previamente programados para o futuro.
Estrutura:
O Future Continuous é formado pelo Futuro Simples do verbo “be” (= will be) +
Progressive Form do verbo principal.
AFFIRMATIVE FORM:
Singular
I will be working -
He -
It -
Plural
We -

OBSERVAÇÕES:
• O Future Continuous não pode ser usado com state verbs (know, have, see, etc).
It will seem (will be seeming) strange to go away without the children.
• Em alguns casos, podemos usar o Simple Future e o Future Progressive sem diferença
de significado, especialmente quando o fato ocorrer em tempo indefinido:
Don't be impatient. She'll come soon. / Don't be impatient. She'll be coming soon.
The sun will set in a minute. / The sun will be setting in a minute.

Uso:
O Future Perfect é usado para expressar uma ação que estará terminada em um
determinado momento do futuro, ou antes de outra ação futura. Nas situações em que se
emprega esse tempo verbal, nós nos projetamos no futuro e olhamos para o passado, a fim de
ver nossas ações; o Future Perfect também é usado em situações em que, com base em
probabilidades, tiram-se conclusões sobre ações futuras; e para fazer projeções e estimativas.
Em todas as situações de uso desse tempo verbal, é preciso determinar, no momento
da elocução, uma data, período ou época. Ou seja, as frases construídas com essa estrutura
devem ter expressões que marquem o tempo futuro: next month, in 2060, when I gradute. Em
frases em que o Future Perfect é usado, é comum aparecer before (antes), by (até, no, na),
when (quando), still (ainda), already (já).
Estrutura:
O Future Perfect é formado pelo Simple Future do verbo have (= will have) + Past
Participle do verbo principal.
