adjetivos possessivos (possessive adjectives) nas orações;
5. identificar vocabulário relativo à temperatura e às estações do ano.
Lembrando-se de um amigo
Nesta aula, você acompanhará Robert entrando em contato com um amigo

para combinarem alguns passeios em Nova Iorque.
Robert lembrou-se de que Bruno, amigo de sua irmã Julia, morava em Nova
Iorque já há algum tempo. Robert então resolveu ligar pra ele, para pedir-lhe
sugestões de passeios e convidar Bruno para acompanhá-lo.
O uso de pronomes e vocabulário relativo ao clima também serão vistos

nesta aula.
Então, vamos aquecer as turbinas, pois a temperatura só deve aumentar,

não podemos deixá-la cair.

Você tem aprendido em todas as aulas um tempo verbal diferente, agora

chegou a vez do Simple Past e do To be Simple Past. Atente para o fato de
que o Simple Past possui dois tipos de verbos: regulares e irregulares.
O Simple Past dos verbos regulares
O Simple Past expressa ações que aconteceram e se encerraram no passado

e em tempo definido.
Exemplos:
• She called me. (Ela me chamou – a ação já aconteceu e acabou).
• Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876. (Alexander Graham Bell
inventou o telefone em 1876 – a ação já aconteceu em uma época no passado).
• The Beatles recorded their first hit in 1962. (Os Beatles gravaram seu pri-
meiro sucesso em 1962 – a ação está definida no tempo passado).
Os verbos no Simple Past são divididos em dois grupos: verbos regulares e

verbos irregulares.
Para formar o passado dos verbos regulares na forma afirmativa, procede-se

do seguinte modo:
• Acrescenta-se a terminação -ed ao verbo no infinitivo, sem “to”, em

todas as pessoas.

Entretanto, há algumas exceções, que serão apresentadas adiante.
Veja, a seguir, a conjugação completa dos três verbos regulares apresentados

nos exemplos:
Verb to call (chamar, ligar)
Affirmative Negative Interrogative
I called I didn’t call Did I call…?
You called You didn’t call Did you call...?
He called He didn’t call Did he call...?
She called She didn’t call Did she call...?
It called It didn’t call Did it call...?
We called We didn’t call Did we call...?
You called You didn’t call Did you call...?
They called They didn’t call Did they call...?
Verb to invent (inventar)
I invented I didn’t invent Did I invent…?
You invented You didn’t invent Did you invent...?
He invented He didn’t invent Did he invent...?
She invented She didn’t invent Did she invent...?
It invented It didn’t invent Did it invent...?

We invented We didn’t invent Did we invent...?
You invented You didn’t invent Did you invent...?
They invented They didn’t invent Did they invent...?
Verb to record (gravar)
I recorded I didn’t record Did I record...?
You recorded You didn’t record Did you record...?
He recorded He didn’t record Did he record...?
She recorded She didn’t record Did she record...?
It recorded It didn’t record Did it record...?
We recorded We didn’t record Did we record...?
You recorded You didn’t record Did you record...?
They recorded They didn’t record Did they record...?
Conforme foi dito, quando queremos formar o Simple Past dos verbos regu-
lares, temos de acrescentar -ed a seu infinitivo sem o “to”. Ou seja, o Simple
Past é formado assim:
= infinitivo sem o “to” + terminação -ed

Exemplos:
Infinitive Simple past
to talk (falar) talked
to jump (pular) jumped
to smell (cheirar) smelled
Contudo, existem exceções para terminações dos verbos regulares. Veja

quais são elas:
• Verbos terminados em Y:
1º: Se o Y for precedido de consoante, retira-se o Y e acrescenta -ied:
Exemplos: We cried all night when our dog escaped.
to cry (chorar) cried
to study (estudar) studied
to try (tentar) tried
to worry (preocupar-se) worried
to hurry (apressar-se) hurried
to reply (responder) replied
2º: Se o Y for precedido de vogal, o procedimento é normal e apenas acres-

centa-se -ed:

Exemplos: I played soccer with the gang last Saturday.
to play (jogar, brincar) played
to stay (ficar) stayed
to destroy (destruir) destroyed
to enjoy (aproveitar) enjoyed
Em verbos terminados em E, acrescenta-se apenas -d:
Exemplos: The ballerinas danced at the theatre last night.
to dance (dançar) danced
to love (amar) loved
to arrive (chegar) arrived
to decide (decidir) decided
Em verbos terminados em consoante + vogal + consoante, repete-se a últi-

ma letra quando a última sílaba for tônica (forte), e acrescenta-se -ed.
Exemplos: The train stopped ten minutes ago.
to stop (parar) stopped

to drop (largar) dropped
to plan (planejar) planned
Em seguida, os acompanhantes dos verbos:

os advérbios
Na Aula 3, vimos a definição do que é um advérbio. Caso você não esteja se

lembrando, este é o momento de rever o assunto.
Alguns advérbios e expressões de tempo são comuns em orações do Simple Past.
Os advérbios são palavras invariáveis, que se juntam aos verbos, aos adjeti-
vos e a outros advérbios para lhes modificar a significação, exprimindo uma
circunstância de tempo, lugar, modo etc.
A expressão de tempo ocorre quando duas ou mais palavras exercem função

de advérbio. A expressão de tempo é o conjunto de palavras, geralmente in-
troduzidas por uma preposição, que exercem a função de advérbio: às vezes,
de quando em quando, de vez em quando, na última noite etc.
• yesterday: ontem;
• the day before: anteontem;
• last week: semana passada;
• a year ago: um ano atrás;
• last century: no século passado.
Veja como usar advérbios e expressões de tempo em frases no Simple Past:
• Yesterday Joana studied for the test.

• Mr. Hill arrived ten minutes ago.
• I received this e-mail last week.
Agora que você já aprendeu as características do Simple Past, está na hora

de praticar.
Atividade 1
Atende ao Objetivo 1
Complete as frases a seguir colocando os verbos entre parênteses no Simple Past:
a) Suellen _____________ to talk to her mother. (stop)
b) Mr. and Mrs. Cunha _____________ to Natal last March. (travel)
c) My cousins _____________ the World Cup finals in my house. (watch)
d) I _____________ my hair this morning. (wash)
e) Sir Alexander Fleming _____________ penicillin last century. (discover)
f) On July 20, 1969, an astronaut _____________ on the moon for the first
time. (walk)
Atividade 2
Atende aos Objetivos 1 e 2
As orações a seguir estão no Simple Present. Substitua as expressões de

tempo pelas expressões que estão entre parênteses e passe as orações para
o Simple Past, conforme o exemplo:
a) Andrea works in the morning every day. (yesterday)

Andrea worked in the morning yesterday.

b) John watches TV at night. (last night)
c) Luke celebrates his birthday every year. (two days ago)
d) The businessmen attend meetings every Wednesday. (last Wednesday)
e) Tom and Susan play with their kids on the weekends. (last weekend)
O Simple Past dos verbos regulares nas for-

mas afirmativa, negativa e interrogativa
Você já aprendeu, nas aulas anteriores, as formas afirmativa, negativa e

interrogativa de alguns tempos verbais. Agora é a vez de verificar como fica
o Simple Past nessas três possibilidades.
Affirmative (+)
Na forma afirmativa, quando o verbo está na forma do Simple Past, as ora-
ções têm a seguinte apresentação:
= subject + verbo no Simple Past + advérbio
Exemplos:
I/ You / We / They worked in the morning.
He / She / It worked in the morning.

Negative (–)
Na forma negativa, o Simple Past é formado da seguinte maneira: acrescen-
ta-se o verbo auxiliar did + not (indicativo de negação) + o verbo principal na
sua forma infinitiva sem o “to”.
= subject + did + not + infinitive sem o “to” + advérbio
Exemplos:
I / You / We / They didn’t work in the morning.
He / She / It didn’t work in the morning.
Interrogative (?)
Já na forma interrogativa do Simple Past, o auxiliar did é deslocado para
o início da oração, seguido do sujeito e depois a forma infinitiva do verbo
principal sem o “to”.
= Did + subject + infinitive sem o “to” + advérbio
Exemplos:
Did I/ you / we / they work in the morning?
Did he / she / it work in the morning?
Watch out!
O Simple Past tem somente uma conjugação para todas as pesso-

as. Então, teremos:
I, you, we, they watched TV last night.
He, she, it watched TV last night.
Nas frases afirmativas no passado, quando os verbos forem regu-

lares, acrescentaremos a esses verbos: d, ed ou ied.

Quando você for escrever orações negativas e interrogativas, lem-
bre-se de retirar o d, ed ou ied, ou seja, lembre-se de usar o verbo
no infinitivo sem o to. Lembre-se também de usar did na interro-
gativa e didn’t na negativa.
Exemplos:
Verbo – celebrate
(+) They celebrated their victory yesterday.
(–)They didn’t celebrate their victory yesterday.
(?) Did they celebrate their victory yesterday?
Verb – wish
(+) He wished them peace and good luck.
(-) He didn’t wish them peace and good luck.
(?) Did he wish them peace and good luck?
Verb - study
(+) They studied for the test last Monday.
(-) They didn’t study for the test last Monday.
(?) Did they study for the test last Monday?
Atividade 3
Vamos praticar como fazer a forma negativa e interrogativa das orações a

seguir? Siga o modelo e indique como ficam as seguintes frases na forma
interrogativa e afirmativa.

Model: She danced all night yesterday.
Interrogativa: Did she dance all night yesterday?
Negativa: She didn’t dance all night yesterday.

O Simple Past dos verbos irregulares
Assim como ocorre com os verbos regulares no Simple Past, os verbos irre-
gulares também têm forma única para todos os sujeitos. Porém, diferente-
mente dos verbos regulares, que tínhamos que acrescentar d, ed, ied para
formarmos os passado, os verbos irregulares não têm regra fixa. Por isso, é
necessário que você aprenda como os verbos ficarão no passado.
Veja, a seguir, a tabela com alguns verbos irregulares.
Watch out!
A lista dos verbos irregulares é bem extensa. Você, provavelmente,

encontrará uma lista mais completa em um dicionário.

Infinitive Simple past Translate
begin began
bring brought
buy bought
come came
do did
drive drove
eat ate
feed fed
fight fought
fly flew
forget forgot
get got
give gave
go went
have had
know knew
leave left
let let
make made

Infinitive Simple past Translate
pay paid
put put
say said
see saw
sleep slept
speak spoke
spend spent
take took
teach taught
tell told
think thought
wake woke
write wrote
Veja agora exemplos de frases com verbos irregulares no Simple Past:
Exemplos: Camila went to school late. (Camila foi para escola tarde.)
Subject Verbo – passado de go
Sam slept until 11 o’clock. (Sam dormiu até 11 horas.)
Subject Verbo – passado de sleep

Veja como são conjugados os verbos “to go” e “to sleep”, apresentados nos
exemplos, no Simple Past:
Verb to GO (ir)
I went I didn’t go Did I go …?
You went You didn’t go Did you go...?
He went He didn’t go Did he go...?
She went She didn’t go Did she go...?
It went It didn’t go Did it go...?
We went We didn’t go Did we go...?
You went You didn’t go Did you go...?
They went They didn’t go Did they go...?
Verb to SLEEP (dormir)
I slept I didn’t sleep Did I sleep …?
You slept You didn’t sleep Did you sleep...?
He slept He didn’t sleep Did he sleep...?
She slept She didn’t sleep Did she sleep...?
It slept It didn’t sleep Did it sleep...?

We slept We didn’t sleep Did we sleep...?
You slept You didn’t sleep Did you sleep...?
They slept They didn’t sleep Did they sleep...?
Affirmative (+)
Na forma afirmativa, as orações têm a seguinte construção quando o verbo
está na forma do Simple Past:
= subject + verbo no Simple Past + advérbio
Exemplos:
I/ You / We / They wrote many letters.
He / She / It wrote many letters.
Negative (–)
Na forma negativa do Simple Past de verbos irregulares, acrescenta-se o
verbo auxiliar did + not (indicativo de negação) + o verbo principal na sua
forma infinitiva sem o “to”.
= subject + did + not + infinitive sem o “to” + advérbio
Exemplos:
I / You / We / They didn’t write many letters.
He / She / It didn’t write many letters.
Interrogative (?)
Já na forma interrogativa do Simple Past de verbos irregulares, o auxiliar did
é deslocado para o início da oração, seguido do sujeito e depois da forma
infinitiva do verbo principal sem o “to”.

= Did + subject + infinitive sem to + advérbio?
Exemplos:
Did I/ you / we / they write many letters?
Did he / she / it write many letters?
Watch out!
Não acrescentaremos: d, ed ou ied às orações no passado com

verbos irregulares. Temos que aprender os verbos da tabela. Quan-
do você for fazer orações negativas e interrogativas, lembre-se de
voltar o verbo para o infinitivo sem o to, e de também usar did na
interrogativa e didn’t na negativa.
Atividade 4
Preencha os espaços em branco usando o Simple Past dos verbos nos

O Simple Past do verbo “to be”
Vimos que, no Simple Present, temos três formas no “to be” (ser ou estar),
que são am, is e are. Agora no to be – Simple Past temos duas formas que
são was e were (era ou estava). Portanto, o to be é um caso especial de verbo
irregular. Veja, no quadro a seguir, a quais pessoas was e were se referem:
To be – Simple Present To be – Simple Past
I am happy I was happy
You are happy You were happy
He is happy He was happy
She is happy She was happy
It is happy It was happy
We are happy We were happy
You are happy You were happy
They are happy They were happy
Então, a partir da observação do quadro anterior, conclui-se que para as

pessoas (I, he, she, it) que usamos am e is no presente, usaremos was no
passado.
E para as pessoas (you, we, they) que usamos are no presente, agora usare-
mos were no passado.
Affirmative (+)
Na forma afirmativa, as orações têm a seguinte construção quando o verbo
está na forma do To be Simple Past:
= subject + to be Simple Past + complemento

Exemplos:
I/ He / She / It was at the club yesterday.
You / We / They were at the club yesterday.
Negative (–)
Na forma negativa do To be Simple Past, acrescenta-se not (indicativo de
negação) depois do to be.
= subject + to be Simple Past + not + complemento
Exemplos:
I/ He / She / It was not (wasn’t) at the club yesterday.
You / We / They were not (weren’t) at the club yesterday.
Interrogative (?)
Já na forma interrogativa do To be Simple Past, o to be é deslocado para o
início da oração, seguido do sujeito e depois dos complementos.
= to be Simple Past + subject + complemento?
Exemplos:
Was I/ he / she / it at the club yesterday?
Were you / we / they at the club yesterday?
To be – Simple Past Negativa Interrogativa
I was happy I wasn’t happy Was I happy?
You were happy You weren’t happy Were you happy?
He was happy He wasn’t happy Was he happy?
She was happy She wasn’t happy Was she happy?

To be – Simple Past Negativa Interrogativa
It was happy It wasn’t happy Was it happy?
We were happy We weren’t happy Were we happy?
You were happy You weren’t happy Were you happy?
They were happy They weren’t happy Were they happy?

Estudamos em aulas anteriores os pronomes sujeitos e pronomes objetos.

Agora chegou o momento dos pronomes possessivos e adjetivos possessivos.

Possessive Adjectives – Possessive Pronouns
Você se lembra do que são pronomes? Não? Então, vamos lá...
Pronomes são palavras que substituem os nomes, para evitar repetições

desnecessárias.
No quadro a seguir, você tem os subject pronouns, possessive adjectives e

possessive pronouns. Vocês verão adiante quando usar e o que significam
possessive adjectives e possessive pronouns.
Subject Pronouns Possessive Adjectives Possessive Pronouns
I My Mine
You Your Yours
He His His
She Her Hers
It Its its
We Our Ours
You Your Yours
They Their Theirs
Possessive adjectives (adjetivos possessivos)
• Vêm sempre antes dos substantivos a que se referem.

Exemplos: Robert is from Brazil. His country is Brazil.
Susan is from Italy. Her country is Italy.
• Suas formas são invariáveis; concordam com o possuidor e não com a

coisa possuída.
Exemplos: Robert = he (his name, his country, his friends etc.)
Susan = she (her name, her country, her friends etc.)

• Não são usados com artigo.
Exemplos: My name is Sílvia. (O meu nome é Sílvia.)
Your friends are here. (Os seus amigos estão aqui.)
Possessive pronouns (pronomes possessivos)
• Evitam a repetição de um substantivo, por este já ser conhecido ou óbvio.

Exemplos: This notebook is mine! (my notebook)
That bike is hers. (her bike)
Is this pen yours? (your pen)
• Os possessive pronouns vêm no lugar dos substantivos; os possessive

adjectives precedem os substantivos.
Exemplos: My t-shirt is yellow. Yours is blue.
Our teacher is British. His is American.
• Nunca se usam com o artigo.

Exemplos: My cat is black. Mine is white. (O meu gato é preto. O meu é
branco).
Exemplos: Susan washes her hair every day.
Subject Adjetivo possessivo Elemento possuído
Daniel and James clean their house.
Subject Adjetivo possessivo Elemento possuído

adjectives:
a) I have _____________ problems. Sue has _____________ .
b) Paul and Mary have _____________ apartments. I have _____________ .

c) You have _____________ friends. We have _____________ .
d) Will has _____________ surfboard. Bill has _____________ .

f) We have _____________ ideas. The Twin Brothers have _____________ .
Look!
Iniciaremos a seguir a seção Look! Nesta aula, você terá contato com voca-
bulário relacionado à temperatura e estações do ano. É importante saber
informações sobre o clima do local que você vai visitar quando fizer uma
viagem. Isso porque o clima influencia, por exemplo, nas roupas que você
deve levar e nos passeios que você poderá fazer.
Look! Let’s talk about weather

É necessário aprender as condições climáticas. Elas são usadas com a função
de adjetivo para poder descrever como está o tempo. John Evans
Fonte: www.sxc.hu/photo/634881
sunny – ensolarado

Nick Clix
rainy – chuvoso
Milan Jurek
windy – com vento Christine Landis
foggy – com neblina

Colin Brough
snowy – com neve
Julia Starr
cloudy – nublado
Look! Seasons of the year

Assim como no português, no inglês também temos quatro representações
das estações do ano, que são elas:

Gerhard Taatgen jr.
spring – primavera
Jules Bloemen
summer – verão Th Sid
fall (or autumn) – outono

Cindy Kalamajka
winter – inverno
Agora que você já estudou o vocabulário relativo às estações do Site destaque

ano, veja a letra de uma música que fala que a amizade independe
da estação do ano. Será que você consegue identificar as palavras
primavera, verão, outono e inverno?
You’ve got a friend

James Taylor
When you’re down and troubled

and you need some love and care
And nothing, no nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up
Even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running

To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend...

Look! Temperature
Agora, chegou a vez da temperatura, para poder fechar o nosso estudo
relacionado ao tempo.
Hot (30º C a 38ºC)
Warm (20º C a 30ºC)
Cool (10º C a 20º C)
Cold (1º C a 10º C)
Freezing (0º C e abaixo de zero)
Fonte: www.gramado.rs.gov.br/images/stories/termmetro_digital.jpg

Nos EUA, costuma-se indicar a temperatura ambiente em graus
Fahrenheit. E para fazer a conversão aproximada de Fahrenheit em
Celsius, subtrai-se 32 da temperatura em Fahrenheit e multiplica-
se resultado por 0,55.
32º Farenheit, por exemplo, corresponde a 0º Celsius.
Atividade 8
O quadro a seguir mostra as temperaturas de algumas cidades do mundo.

Observe:
City/country Degrees Weather
Camberra – Austrália 12º C
Nova York – Estados Unidos 25º C
Berlim – Alemanha 27º C
Los Angeles – Estados Unidos 29º C
Tokio – Japão 24º C
Belo Horizonte – Brasil 25º C
Agora, com base nas informações do quadro, responda às seguintes ques-

tões, conforme o modelo:

Examples: What was the weather like in Camberra?
It was cool and rainy.
a) What was the weather like in New York?
b) What was the weather like in Berlin?
c) What was the weather like in Los Angeles?
d) What was the weather like in Tokio?
e) What was the weather like in Belo Horizonte?

Resumo
• O Simple Past dos verbos regulares é formado pelo acréscimo da terminação

-ed, -ied ou -d ao infinitivo dos verbos, sem o “to”.
• O Simple Past dos verbos irregulares não é formado do mesmo modo

que o dos verbos regulares, pois os irregulares não seguem uma regra de
formação, portanto é preciso aprender como é cada caso em particular.
Example: go – went.
• O verbo to be no Simple Past apresenta apenas duas formas: “was” e

“were”. Usa-se “was” com: I, he, she, it. Usa-se “were” com os demais
pronomes: you, we e they.
• Os possessive adjectives e possessive pronouns são usados para indicar

posse, sendo que o primeiro vem sempre acompanhado de um substan-
tivo, e o segundo substitui o substantivo.
• Na seção LOOK, vimos as estações do ano e a temperatura, assuntos

importantes principalmente quando estamos programando uma viagem
para um determinado lugar.
• Vimos também que, na formação do Simple Past, algumas vezes os advér-

bios de tempo aparecem nas orações para poder definir o tempo em que
a ação aconteceu. Examples: yesterday, last week, last month, two days
ago etc.
