1. Articles
Na maioria das línguas europeias há regras sobre o uso (ou não)
dos artigos definidos e indefinidos. Essas regras dependem geralmente
do gênero do substantivo ou se está no singular ou plural. Já em inglês,
o gênero não afeta o uso do artigo, mas o número pode sim influenciar.
Além disso, ainda temos o artigo zero na língua inglesa. Ele é chamado
dessa maneira pois é extremamente importante na língua.

Os Rejoinders são palavras ou frases que usamos para manter uma
conversa. Porém, nosso interesse nessa unidade é com relação aos
Rejoinders que utilizamos para concordar ou expressar a mesma opinião
que alguém, ou seja, so, too, neither e either.
©Peopleimages/iStock
1.2 So e neither
Usamos so quando uma oração afirmativa dita por outra pessoa
também é verdadeira para mim.
Joana: I hate waking up early.
1.1 Too e either Me: So do I.
Usamos too quando uma oração afirmativa dita por outra pessoa Isso também acontece quando se fala de algo que é verdadeiro para
também é verdadeira para mim. as duas pessoas ao mesmo tempo.
Ex.: Melanie loves chocolate and so do I.
Joana: I hate waking up early. Quando se trata de uma oração negativa dita por outra pessoa e há
também concordância por minha parte, usamos neither.
Me: I hate waking up early too.
Joana: I didn’t brush my teeth.
Apesar de gramaticalmente correta, a frase acima acaba sendo pouco
utilizada já que temos versões mais diretas da mesma: Me: Neither did I.
Ex.: Assim como too em Me too, podemos também usar a estrutura do
pronome objeto e neither quando se trata da negativa.
Joana: I hate waking up early.
Joana: I didn’t brush my teeth.
Me: I do too. or Me too.
Me: Me neither.
Quando se trata de uma oração negativa dita por outra pessoa e há
também concordância da minha parte, usamos either. A formação da concordância com so e neither será sempre:
Ex.:
So
Joana: I didn’t brush my teeth. + Auxiliar + Sujeito
neither
Me: I didn’t brush my teeth either. or I didn’t either.
Tanto too quanto either devem vir ao final da oração, ou após o verbo Assim como em too e eitheir, quando tratamos de verbos auxiliares,
auxiliar. Vale lembrar que tratamos aqui dos verbos de característica auxiliar, devemos lembrar que tanto do, does e did quanto be, todos os verbos

2.2 Neither
Usamos neither quando queremos expressar a ideia de nem um nem
o outro. Apesar de neither expressar uma ideia negativa, ele sempre será
acompanhado do verbo na afirmativa e no singular.
Neither of them knows anything about Maths.

Emily studies all day, doesn’t she? Emily doesn’t live in Brazil, does she?

They have a dog, don’t they? They don’t have children, do they?
They saw an accident, didn’t they? They didn’t sleep all night, did they?
Simple Past
My mum made me a cake, didn’t she? She didn’t forget my birthday, did she?
I will stay home tomorrow, won’t I? Jane won’t take it outside, will she?
Simple Future
Kevin will clean the room, won’t he? We won’t leave this house, will we?
Diana has arrived late, hasn’t she? He hasn’t finished it all, has he?

Those (shoes) are so last season, aren’t they?
3.2.5 Imperative
Ao utilizarmos uma oração na forma de imperativo, podemos estar
dando ordens, passando instruções, oferecendo conselhos, mas, acima
de tudo, estamos direcionando o nosso discurso para a segunda pessoa,
sendo ela do singular ou do plural (you).
Ex.:
Open the door, will you?
Don’t sit like that, will you?
Com relação ao uso do verbo will na Tag Question, optamos por usar
o mesmo na forma afirmativa em ambos os casos. As exceções dizem
respeito ao significado implícito que o locutor decide dar à ideia, o que
acaba criando uma gama de possibilidades que foge ao que devemos
3.2 Special cases explorar na gramática.
3.2.1 …, aren’t I?
©flytosky11/iStock
Pode até soar estranho, mas a Tag Question para a primeira pessoa
do singular (I) no Simple Present do verbo be quando na negativa dever
ser aren’t I.
Ex.: I am obliged to do it, aren’t I?
Isso se dá pois devemos usar a contração do verbo auxiliar com o
not quando formamos a Tag Question e não há uma contração de am
com not. Em alguns casos, ainda vemos a formação am i not para a Tag
Question, mas cada vez isso se torna mais raro.
Ex.: I am obliged to do it, am I not?
3.2.2 There be
Usamos o there be quando queremos falar sobre a existência de algo,
ou seja, seria em português o nosso verbo haver. Nesse sentido, não há 3.2.6 Let’s
sujeito na frase, estando o there no papel físico do mesmo, mas sem
representá-lo. E como se dá a Tag Question já que devemos substituir Quando utilizamos a expressão let’s antes de uma ação, estamos
o sujeito substantivo pelo sujeito pronome? Assim como na própria convidando alguém para fazer algo. Por isso, ao construirmos a Tag
oração inicial o there está no papel físico do sujeito, ele continuará na Question de qualquer oração com let’s, devemos usar shall we.
Tag Question. Ex.:
Ex.: Let’s groove tonight, shall we?
There will be a party next week, won’t there? Let’s go to the beach, shall we?
There have been cases and cases of mugging, haven’t there? Porém, precisamos ficar atentos ao verbo let no início de uma oração,
pois, nesse caso, estamos lidando com uma estrutura no imperativo, sendo
3.2.3 Indefinite Pronouns a Tag Question completamente diferente.
Como já estudado na unidade de Pronomes indefinidos, devemos fazer Ex.:
referência aos mesmos, em se tratando de pessoas, pelos pronomes de Let it go, won’t you?
terceira pessoa do plural.
Let’s go, shall we?
Ex.:
Nobody is perfect, are they? 3.2.7 Negative statements in meaning
Everyone has brought their gifts, haven’t they?
Quando definimos uma oração como negativa na língua inglesa,
3.2.4 Demonstrative Pronouns precisamos não somente prestar atenção ao verbo na negativa como
também a estruturas presentes na oração que possam negativar a mesma.
Os pronomes demonstrativos this, that, these, those não podem ser
utilizados nas Tag Questions, mas podem ser substituídos por Subject Ex.:
Pronouns já que this e that fazem referência ao singular – it – e these e They have never been abroad, have they?
those ao plural – they. Nobody is coming here, are they?
She seldom goes to the beach, does she?

Conditionals
17
Uma condicional expressa uma ação que para ser completa precisa A abreviação ‘ll pode ser usada ao invés de will para todas as pessoas
que outra ação seja real. Frequentemente usamos a palavra if que passa a e shall pode ser usado no lugar de will para I e we. Também podemos usar
ideia da se, sendo que a consequência dela está sempre implícita: a abreviação ‘d no lugar de would para todas as pessoas e should pode
Ex.: If the rain stops, (then) we’ll be able to go for a walk. ser usado ao invés de would para I e we.
As condicionais também podem ser expressas através de outros
As condicionais com if não são sobre eventos que tenham ocorrido, verbos modais além de will, shall, should ou would:
mas sobre eventos que podem ou não ocorrer ou podem ou não ter We could have had a good time. (if we had had the money)
ocorrido.
Ex.: If the price of the oil comes down, more people will buy it.
1.1 Type 1 conditionals
A forma mais comum para a First Conditional é:
Algumas vezes tratamos de condicionais com consequências If + Simple Present → Future
impossíveis:
Ex.:
Ex.: If my horse had won, I would have won a lot of money.
If it rains, we will stay at home.
As condicionais são frequentemente introduzidas por if, mas podem Janet won’t come if she doesn’t have money.
também ser introduzidas por palavras como as long as, provided that,
unless assim como também podem ser implícitas: Entretanto, podemos usar qualquer tempo verbal no presente para formá-la:
Ex.: I wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) go that way. (if I were you)
Be If I am better tomorrow, I will get up.

1.3.1 Usage
As condicionais do tipo 3 tratam de algo puramente imaginário, tanto
na oração da condicional quanto na consequência. A diferença dessa
condicional para a do tipo 2 é que enquanto a Second Conditional trata
de consequências imaginárias no presente, a Third Conditional trata de Apesar de podermos fazer várias combinações usando as condicionais,
consequências imaginárias no passado, ou seja, que não podem se tornar a mais comum ainda é a mistura da Type 3 com Type 2. Nesse contexto,
concretas nunca. É por isso que são conhecidas como Hypothetical queremos expressar que uma condição imaginária do passado poderia
Conditionals. trazer consequências imaginárias no presente:
Ex.: Ex.:
If I had worked harder at school, I’d have got a better job. If I hadn’t brought some snacks, I would be really hungry now.
(Como eu não me esforcei na escola, não consegui um emprego melhor.) If she had studied more, she would have to repeat this grade.
If I hadn’t been wearing a raincoat, I would have got wet. 1.5 ‘If…not’ e ‘unless’
(Como eu estava usando uma capa de chuva, eu não me molhei.) Muitas vezes podemos usar tanto If...not quanto Unless sem mudança
de sentido. Porém, existem momentos em que essa troca é impossível.
©marekuliasz/iStock
1.5.1 When ‘if...not’ and ‘unless’ are interchangeable
Tanto if...not quanto unless podem ser usados em uma condicional
do tipo 1 negativa, sem muita mudança de ideia:
Ex.:
If you don’t change your mind, I won’t be able to help you.
Unless you change your mind, I won’t be able to help you.
Entretanto, unless possui uma ideia mais forte do que if...not, sendo
preferido quando o contexto se refere a um ultimato.
Ex.: Unless the management improve their offer, there’ll be a strike.
1.5.2 When we cannot use ‘unless’ in place of ‘if…not’
Unless não poderá substituir if...not na First Conditional em orações
1.3.2 Variations como:
I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t win.
• Variation 1: if + past perfect → modal
Assim como a segunda condicional, também podemos substituir Isso acontece porque unless sempre significa ‘exceto na condição de’:
would por outros modais. He won’t get a prize unless he wins.
1.6 WILL e WOULD depois de IF
If he had been here yesterday, he could have told us. (ability)
1.6.1 ‘Will’ and ‘would’ to emphasize willingness and
If he had been here yesterday, he might have told us. (possibility) unwillingness
If he had received a present, he should have thanked her. (duty) • Ao pedir que alguém faça algo ou para responder a ofertas de ajuda:
Shall I hold the door open for you? – Yes, if you will/would.
