ESTUDOS PROGRAMADOS DE INGLES Turmas: 33 N

PERÍODO: de 15 a 28 de AGOSTO DE 2020

PROFESSOR:
LINKING WORDS
Palavras de ligação, conjunções, conectores em Inglês!
As linking words são conjunções (conjunctions), que funcionam como conectivos nas frases. As
linking words podem expressar ideias de continuação, conclusão, adição, oposição, comparação,
explicação, etc. Lembre-se que as conjunções são palavras invariáveis, ou seja, não sofrem flexão de
número, gênero ou grau. Na língua inglesa, é possível usarmos termos de ligação entre orações tornando
a fala ou a escrita muito mais compreensível e menos fragmentada.
É que com o uso de palavras de ligação, conjunções e conectores em Inglês, a nossa linha de
raciocínio fica em completa sincronia, evitando desentendimentos que facilmente
ocorreriam se não usássemos esses termos.
Abaixo, destacamos alguns desses termos que separamos de acordo com os
grupos:

 Addition
 Alternative  Reason
 Condition  Time
 Consequence or result  Comparsion
 Constrast  Empashis
 Manner  Exemplifications
 Purpose  Sumarry

Confira todos os termos importantes para tornar as suas idéias mais fluidas em Inglês e como
empregar palavras de ligação, conjunções e conectores em Inglês. Ou conectivos, se assim preferir.

Underline the linking words in the text below.
 
All my friends were tired last night, so we decided not to go out. We went to Peter’s house, because the place
is great and his parents are nice to us. We stayed there for hours but we didn’t watch TV. We played video
games instead, because the TV programs were all boring. Jack could play with us or do something else, but
he decided to go home, so he phoned his parents to pick him up earlier. I was not hungry, however, all of us
ate pizza and drank soda. Although tomorrow is Friday, we don’t have classes in the morning, so we can go
to bed late tonight. We are thinking of going to the movies or eating at a fast food restaurant. We can’t decide!
