This (dress) is expensive, isn’t it?
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?

1.1.3 Variations 1.2.1 Usage


• Variation 1: If + present → modal verb As condicionais tipo 2 falam sobre situações imaginárias na oração
Quando usamos will na oração principal expressamos uma certeza ou com if e especulam sobre as consequências imaginárias na oração
“quase” certeza. Se não quisermos expressar tal certeza, podemos usar principal. Apesar de usarmos o Passado, ele não é a referência. Na
outros verbos modais, assim como se quisermos expressar uma ideia de realidade, a Second Conditional é chamada de Imaginary Conditional.
necessidade ou conselho: Ex.: If I had longer legs, I’d be able to run faster.
Como não tenho pernas mais longas, não consigo correr mais rápido.
we can (we are free to) go out.
we could (we would be able to) go out. 1.2.2 Variations
• Variation 1: if + were/was → would/should
we may (it’s possible to) go out.
If everything is fine Podemos usar were no lugar de was quando tratamos de I, he,
we might (it’s possible to) go out. she, it. Não há uma diferença em significado, apesar de were ser usado
tomorrow,
we should (it’s advisable to) go out. em situações mais formais, principalmente quando se trata de alguma
we ought to (it’s advisable to) go out. afirmação duvidosa:
Ex.: If I was/were better qualified, I’d apply for the job.
we must (it’s necessary to) go out.
Entretanto, usamos were quando a situação é puramente imaginária:
• Variation 2: if + should → imperative
A oração condicional usando should em vez do Present Tense torna Ex.: If I were the Queen of Shebba, you’d be King Solomon.
a condição duvidosa, não tão provável de acontecer.
Ex.: Além disso, usamos If I were quando tratamos de um conselho, como
em If I were you/If I were Jane:
If he calls, tell him I’ll ring back.
Ex.:
If he should call, tell him I’ll ring back.
If I were you, I’d accept their offer.
Nem sempre precisamos usar o imperativo: If I were Jane, I’d walk out on him.
Ex.: If I should see him, I’ll ask him to ring you.
Há também a possibilidade de haver inversão quando se trata da
Second Conditional, mas somente com o uso do WERE:
Quando usamos should, podemos omitir o if ao fazermos uma inversão
na oração condicional: Were it not for your help, I would still be homeless.
Should you be interested in our offer, please contact us. Were the government to cut Value Added Tax, prices would fall.
Should you not wish our agent to call, please let us know.
• Variation 2: if + past → modal
Assim como na First Conditional, também podemos substituir o verbo
• Variation 3: imperative + conjunction + clause
modal would por outros modais.
O imperativo pode ser usado no lugar de uma oração condicional (If
Clause) para fazer um comentário, pedido, oferecer conselho, ameaçar e
outras funções que demandam mais urgência do que uma condicional: If he were here, he could help us. (ability)
Ex.: If he were here, he might help us. (possibility)
Fail to pay and they’ll cut off the electricity. (comment) If he failed, he ought to/should try again. (duty)
Tell us what to do and we’ll get on with it. (request) Há ainda a possibilidade de usarmos os tempos contínuo e perfeito com
Stop eating sweets, or you won’t get any dinner. (threat) os modais:
Take a taxi, otherwise you will miss your train. (advice) If she were here now, she could be helping us.
If he was in New York, he could have met my sister.
1.2 Type 2 conditionals
If they were in the army, they would have been fighting in the jungle
A forma mais comum para a Second Conditional é: most of the time.
if + simple past → would
Ex.: If we had money, we would travel to London. 1.3 Type 3 conditionals
A forma mais comum da Third Conditional é:

If + past perfect → would have


If it had rained, we would have stayed at home.

(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.
Além dessas duas formas, também podemos ter a inversão na Third If you will/would wait a moment, I’ll fetch the money.
Conditional:
Had the management acted sooner, the strike wouldn’t have happened. • Quando nos referimos a outra pessoa:
Had it not been for the unusually bad weather, the rescue party would If he will/would only try harder, I’m sure he’d do well.
have been able to save the stranded climber.
• Em contextos formais:
1.4 Mixed conditionals I’d be grateful if you will/would let me know soon.
Existem várias combinações possíveis dos tipos das condicionais, If you will/would follow me, I’ll show you the way.
desde que haja sentido e que o contexto permita: Give me a moment, if you would. (if you will – menos frequente)

Type 1 Type 3 • Em referência direta a boa vontade ou má vontade


If I am as clever as you think, I should have been rich by now. If you will/would agree to pay us compensation, we will/would agree
Type 2 Type 3 not to take the matter any further.
If you knew me better, You wouldn’t have said that. If you won’t stop smoking, you can only expect to have a bad cough.
Type 3 Type 2

1.6 Hope há um aspecto importante com relação à estrutura da causative form,
A estrutura “I hope...” pode ser usada de uma maneira similar a que é o fato de que fazemos (“cause”) que alguém faça o serviço por

There’s a lot to see. I hope you won’t be late. A estrutura principal de uma causative form é a seguinte:
have + object + past participle

de dizer “I’d like to” (I want to).
I’m going to have my hair cut.
Ex.: I wish to interview you for the job next week.
2.2 Get something done
