a. Teoria
Olá, pessoal!
Iniciaremos os nossos estudos sobre a Língua Inglesa tratando dos
Tempos Verbais.
Antes de adentrarmos na matéria em si, farei algumas observações
sobre como você pode tirar melhor proveito desse curso. É importante
ressaltar que para prestar provas de inglês em concurso público, você
precisa desenvolver ao máximo a sua habilidade em leitura. Para isso, é
importante que você leia textos mais técnicos na área, pode ser uma
matéria de jornal, uma revista, um livro. O importante é tentar ler pelo
menos um texto por dia. Isso fará com que você, aos poucos, perceba
como os textos são estruturados, aumentará o seu vocabulário em inglês
e principalmente, fará com que você se sinta mais confortável com a
língua. Na hora da prova, se você estiver acostumado às leituras,
certamente sairá na frente.
Não tente ler os textos palavra por palavra. Se você não entender
algo, continue a leitura – exatamente como você faz lendo textos em
português – e tente entender o significado pelo contexto. Também não
tente traduzir ao pé da letra. Mais a frente, aprofundaremos esses
aspectos. Bons estudos!

1.1 Verbo to be

O verbo to be significa ser ou estar e é muito importante na língua

inglesa porque além de possuir seu próprio significado, serve de base
para outros tempos verbais (como os progressivos). As formas contraídas
são muito utilizadas na língua inglesa, principalmente em contextos
informais. Observe sua forma no presente:

6
 AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE
I am I’m I am not I’m not
You are You’re You are not You aren’t
He is He’s He is not He isn’t
She is She’s She is not She isn’t
It is It’s It is not It isn’t
We are We’re We are not We aren’t
You are You’re You are not You aren’t
They are They’re They are not They aren’t

Exemplos: I’m tired but I’m not hungry.

My husband is a lawyer. He’s tall.
Julia and I are very good friends.
Pedro and Giovanna aren’t American. They’re Brazilian.
How old is she? She’s 40.

INTERROGATIVE SHORT ANSWERS

(YES/NO QUESTIONS)
Am I? Yes, I am. No, I am not (I’m not).
Are you? Yes, you are. No, you are not (you aren’t).
Is he? Yes, he is. No, he is not (he isn’t).
Is she? Yes, she is. No, she is not (she isn’t).
Is it? Yes, it is. No, it is not (it’s not).
Are we? Yes, we are. No, we are not (aren’t)
Are you? Yes, you are. No, you are not (you aren’t).
Are they? Yes, they are. No, they are not (aren’t).

Exemplos: Are you tired? No, I’m not.

Is he a policeman? Yes, he is.
Am I late? No, you aren’t.
Are they American? Yes, they are.

Agora vamos ver a sua forma no passado:
AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE INTERROGATIVE
I was --- I was not I wasn’t Was I...?
You were You’re You were not You weren’t Were you...?
He was He’s He was not He wasn’t Was he…?
She was She’s She was not She wasn’t Was she…?
It was It’s It was not It wasn’t Was it…?
We were We’re We were not We weren’t Were we...?
You were You’re You were not You weren’t Were you...?
They were They’re They were not They weren’t Were they...?

Exemplos: I was a student. (Eu era estudante.) SER

I wasn’t at home (Eu não estava em casa) ESTAR
You were great teachers. (Vocês eram ótimos professors)
When I was a child, I was afraid of dogs. (Quando eu era
criança, eu tinha medo de cachorros.)
Why was he angry yesterday? (Por que ele estava bravo
ontem?)

1.2 Presente (Simple Present)

O Simple Present é um tempo verbal utilizado para expressar ações

habituais que ocorrem no presente. Além disso, também indica verdades
universais, eventos programados, opiniões, emoções ou desejos
permanentes.
Exemplos: I drink tea at breakfeast. (hábito)
She usually goes to work by car. (ação repetida)
Water freezes at zero degrees. (verdades universais)
My mom arrives tomorrow. (evento programado)
I like big cities. (opiniões)

8
ATENÇÃO!!! O Simple Present não é utilizado para indicar ações
que estejam acontecendo agora, no presente momento!!!
A conjugação do Simple Present varia de acordo com a pessoa
verbal, com a terminação do verbo e com o tipo de frase (afirmativa,
negativa e interrogativa.) Confira:

AFIRMATIVA INTERROGATIVA NEGATIVA

I work Do I work? I do not work
You work Do you work? You do not work
He works Does he work? He does not work
She works Does she work? She does not work
It works Does it work? It does not work
We work Do we work We do not work
You work Do you work? You do not work
They work Do they work They do not work

Regras específicas para a flexão da 3ª pessoa do singular (he/she/it):

- O verbo sempre termina em -s: works, wants, needs, thinks;
- As formas interrogativas e negativas utilizam o DOES (3ª pessoa do
auxiliar DO) + infinitivo do verbo.
- É preciso acrescentar o -es no final dos verbos terminados em: -o, -z,
-ss, -x, -sh, -ch. (He does, he kisses, it fixes, she pushes, he teaches).
- Em verbos terminados em -y, precedidos por consoantes, retira-se o -y
e coloca-se o -ies: to fry/he fries, to try/she tries, to fly/it flies.
- Em verbos terminados em -y, precedidos por vogais, acrescenta-se
somente o -s: to play/he plays, to say/she says.

Posição do verbo em frases afirmativas:

Sujeito + verbo principal + complemento
I live in Brazil.

She teaches English at the university. (Ela ensina inglês na universidade)

9
They prefer italian food. (Eles preferem comida italiana)
He watches TV every day. (Ele assiste TV todo dia)
The Earth goes roud the Sun. (A Terra gira em torno do Sol)
He’s very clever. He speaks four languages. (Ele é muito esperto. Ele fala
quatro línguas)

Posição do verbo em frases negativas:

Sujeito + (verbo auxiliar + not) + verbo principal + complemento
I (don’t) live in Brazil.

She does not teach English at university. (Ela não ensina inglês…)
They do not prefer italian food. (Eles não preferem)
He doesn’t watch TV every day. (Ele não assiste)

Posição do verbo em frases interrogativas:

Verbo auxiliar + sujeito + verbo principal + complemento
Does she teach English at university?

Do they prefer italian food?

Does he watch TV every day?
Do you smoke?
Does your sister live in London?

ATENÇÃO!!! O verbo to do significa fazer, entretanto, no Simple

Present ele é usado como verbo auxiliar que complementa a
formação de frases interrogativas e negativas. Enquanto
auxiliares, eles não possuem significado na frase.

1.3 Presente progressivo (Present Continuous)

O Present Continuous é um tempo verbal utilizado para indicar

ações que estão em progresso no presente, ou seja, que estão

10
acontecendo no agora, no momento da fala. Com isso, é comum
observarmos a utilização de advérbios de tempo nas frases
(aprofundaremos esse tópico futuramente), tais como: now (agora), at
the moment (no momento), at present (atualmente).

Formação: esse tempo verbal é composto pelo verbo to be no Simple

Present como auxiliar de um verbo principal acrescido do -ing, seguindo o
padrão abaixo:
Sujeito + verbo to be + (verbo principal+ ing)+ complemeto
I am watching TV.

Bruno is having a shower at the moment. (Bruno está tomando banho no

momento.)
She is playing the guitar. (Ela está tocando a guitarra.)
You are eating a hamburguer. (Você está comendo hamburguer.)
We are cooking the meal now.(Nós estamos cozinhando a comida agora.)
They are cleaning the window. (Eles estão limpando a janela.)

Exceções: verbos que terminam em -e, eliminamos o -e e acrescentamos

o -ing. Exemplos:
He is dancing with his mom. (dance/dancing)
Ele está dançando com a mãe dele.
I am riding my bike. (ride/riding)
Eu estou andando na minha bicicleta.

Forma negativa
Usamos essa forma para expressar algo que não está acontecendo
no momento. Para isso, basta acrescentar o not e seguir o mesmo
padrão do Present Continuous:

Sujeito + verbo to be + not + verbo principal+ ing+ complemeto

I am not watching TV.

11
Exemplos: He is not dancing with his mom.
I am not riding my bike.
They’re not talking to each other.

Forma interrogativa
Para fazer uma pergunta no Present Continuous usamos a seguinte
estrutura:

Verbo auxiliar (to be) + sujeito + verbo principal + ing + complemento?

Am I watching TV?

Is he dancing with his mom? (Ele está dançando com a mãe dele?)
Are they talking to each other? (Eles estão falando um com o outro?)
Is she complaining again? (Ele está reclamando de novo?)

1.4 Pretérito (Simple Past)

O Simple Past é usado para indicar ações passadas já

concluídas, ou seja, para falar de fatos que já aconteceram; que
começaram e terminaram no passado.
Muitas expressões temporais são utilizadas para indicar o passado,
sendo muito comuns: yestarday (ontem), the day before yesterday
(anteontem), last night (ontem à noite), last year (ano passado), last
month (mês passado), last week (semana passada), years ago (anos
atrás)...
Forma: para a maioria do verbos regulares você só precisa acrescentar
o -ed. Observe os exemplos:
Work/worked – wait/waited – walk/walked
- Para verbos regulares terminados em e, acrescente o -d:
Arrive/arrived – like/liked – love/loved
- Para verbos terminados com consoantes+vogal+consoante, você deve
dobrar a última consoante e acrescentar o -ed:

12
stop/stopped – plan/planned – control/controlled
- Para verbos terminados em -y precedido de consoante, retira-se o -y e
acrescenta-se o –ied:
Study/studied – worry/worried – try/tried
- Por último, Aos verbos terminados em –y precedido de vogal,
acrescenta-se somente o –ed:
Enjoy/enjoyed – stay/stayed – play/played

Os verbos irregulares não seguem o mesmo padrão de formação dos

verbos regulares pois possuem uma formação própria. Confira abaixo
alguns verbos irregulares no passado simples:

Infinitive Simple Past Tradução

Abide Abode Obedecer/suportar
Become Became Tornar-se
Begin Began Começar
Bring Brought Trazer
Buy Bought Comprar
Catch Caught Pegar
Go Went Ir, partir
Drink Drank Beber
Fall Fell Cair
Find Found Encontrar
Fly Flew Voar
Forget Forgot Esquecer
Leave Left Sair, deixar
Make Made Fazer
Speak Spoke Falar
Take Took Pegar
Recomendo que vc expanda o seu vocabulário nesse conteúdo.

13
Forma negativa: Assim como na formação de frases negativas no
Simple Present, no Simple Past também iremos utilizar o verbo do como
auxiliar. Entretanto, utilizaremos o did, que representa a sua forma
irregular no pretérito. O verbo principal não será conjugado no passado,
uma vez que o auxiliar já indica o tempo verbal.
Dessa forma, temos:
Sujeito + did + not + verbo principal + complemento
She did not like the teacher.

Forma interrogativa: da mesma forma, utilizamos o did como

auxiliar.

Did + sujeito + verbo principal + complemento

Did she like the teacher?
(Ela gostou da professora?)

1.5 Pretérito progressivo (past continuous)

Esse tempo verbal descreve ações ou eventos ocorridos em um

período anterior ao presente, os quais começaram no passado e que
ainda estão ocorrendo no momento da fala, ou seja, ele indica uma ação
incompleta ou não concluída no passado.
Esse tempo verbal é formado pelo sujeito + simple past do verbo to
be (was/were) + o gerúndio do verbo principal (-ing).

Sujeito + was/were + verbo principal + -ing

I was eating.

I was traveling alone yesterday. (Eu estava viajando sozinho ontem)

It was raining last night. (Estava chovendo ontem à noite)

14
I was having a beautiful dream when the alarm clock rang. (Eu estava
tendo um sonho lindo quando o alarme tocou)
I was dancing while she sang.(Eu estava dançando enquanto ela cantava)

Para fazer uma negativa ou uma interrogativa no Past

Continuous usamos a mesma regra do Present Continuous mas ao invés
de usarmos am/is/are temos que acrescentar o was/were. Lembra como?
Exemplos: I was not traveling alone yesterday.(Eu estava viajando
sozinho ontem)
It wasn’t raining last night. (Estava chovendo ontem à noite)
Was I sleeping when you got home? (Eu estava dormindo quando você
chegou em casa?
Were they listening music? (Eles estavam escutando música?)

1.6 Gerúndio

O gerúndio em inglês é caracterizado pelo acréscimo do -ing ao

verbo: running, making, doing, speaking, etc.
Atenção! O gerúndio em inglês não é usado da mesma forma
que o gerúndio em português. Não pense que eles são
equivalentes pois eles não são!
Seus usos mais comuns são:
A) Após preposições: Read more about this by clicking here.
She is good at swimming.
I am not interested in talking to you.
B) Após alguns verbos: I enjoy studying English.
She began learning English.
C) Como substantivo: Swimming is her favorite sport.
Flying makes me nervous.
Learning English is not as hard as you think.

15
D) Algumas atividades: geralmente escritas com o verbo go seguida pelo
gerúndio: I went swimming yestarday.
I don’t want to go fishing.
E) Como adjetivo: interesting (interessante), exciting (excitante),
amusing (divertido), tiring (cansativo), surprising (surpreendente),
annoying(irritante), entre outros.

1.7 Present Perfect

Esse tempo verbal costuma ser bem complicado para nós
pois não temos um tempo equivalente na Língua Portuguesa.
Porém, depois que você pegar o jeito, perceberá que é um tempo útil e
que nem é tão complicado assim!
Ele é formado pelo verbo auxiliar to have (have / has) conjugado
no simple present (presente simples) + o past participle (particípio
passado) do verbo principal.

Sujeito + have/has + past participle +complemento

Pode ser usado para:

1) Algo que começou no passado e ainda é verdade no presente: I have
worked at Petrobrás since 2010/Eu trabalho na Petrobrás desde 2010.
2) Algo que aconteceu no passado, mas não importa quando: I have
been to London. (Eu já estive em Londres). Se você quiser saber se
alguém já vivenciou uma experiência, pode perguntar: Have you seen
the new movie?

Forma Negativa: As frases negativas no present perfect incluem o “not”

após o verbo auxiliar, sendo estruturadas da seguinte forma:

S + have/has + not + past participle do verbo princ. + complemento

Exemplos: I haven’t been to Canada. (Eu não fui ao Canadá)

16
She has not read this book. (Ela não leu esse livro)

Forma Interrogativa: Para fazer perguntas é necessário inverter a

ordem do verbo auxiliar na frase. Sua estrutura é a seguinte:

Have/has + sujeito + past participle do verbo principal+ complemento

Exemplo: Have my parents been to Portugal three times? (Meus pais já

foram para Portugal três vezes?)
Have you ever ridden a horse? (Você já andou à cavalo?)

Confira abaixa uma pequena lista com alguns verbos no past

participle. Sugiro que vc aprofunde os seus conhecimentos nesse ponto.
É uma boa maneira de expandir o seu vocabulário.
Infinitive Simple Past Part Participle
Abide Abided/abode Abided/Abode
Become Became Become
Begin Began Begun
Bring Brought Brought
Buy Bought Bought
Go Went Gone
Drink Drank Drunk
Fall Fell Fallen
Find Found Found
Fly Flew Flown
Forget Forgot Forgotten
Leave Left Left
Make Made Made
Speak Spoke Spoken
Take Took Taken
Write Wrote Written

17
 b. Resumo da Rodada
1) Verbo to be: significa ser ou estar. Importantíssimo na língua inglesa,
possui significado próprio e também serve de base para outros tempos
verbais (como os progressivos).

Present simple
Afirmativa Negativa Interrogativa
I am I’m not Am I…?
You are You aren’t Are you…?
He/she/it is He/she/it isn’t Is he/she/it…?
You/we/they are You/we/they aren’t Are you/we/they…?

Past simple
Afirmativa Negativa Interrogativa
I was I wasn’t Was I…?
You were You weren’t Were you…?
He/she/it was He/she/it wasn’t Was he/she/it…?
You/we/they were You/we/they weren’t Were you/we/they…?

2) Simple Present: utilizado para expressar ações habituais que ocorrem

no presente. Além disso, também indica verdades universais, eventos
programados, opiniões, emoções ou desejos permanentes.
I like big cities./I don’t like big cities./Do I like big cities?
She likes big cities/ She doesn’t like big cities./ Does she like big cities?

3) Present Continuous: utilizado para expressar uma ação que está

acontecendo no momento presente.
I am eating./I am not eating./Am I eating?
She is eating./She’s not eating./Is she eating?

18
4) Simple Past: expressa ações passadas, ou seja, refere-se a fatos que
começaram no passado e terminaram no passado. Nesse caso, as ações
que já foram concluídas. Utiliza-se o verbo auxiliar do no Simple Past
(did), somente nas formas negativa e interrogativa.
I worked yesterday. /I did not worked yesterday. /Did I worked
yesterday?

5) Past Continuous: expressa uma ação contínua que ocorreu no

passado. Diferentemente do Simple Past, ele é formado pelo verbo
auxilar to be conjugado no Simple Past (passado simples) + o gerúndio
(-ing) do verbo principal.
I was working. /I was not working. /Was I working?
You were working. /You weren’t working./Were you working?

6) Gerúndio: O gerúndio em inglês não é usado da mesma forma que o

gerúndio em português. Não tente traduzir literalmente!
É formado pelo acréscimo do -ing ao verbo e seus usos mais comuns
são após preposições (at, in...) e após alguns verbos como go/went.
Também podem transformar o verbo em substantivos (Listening to
music is my favorite hobby) ou em adjetivos (This is so exciting!).

7) Present Perfect: Esse tempo causa muita confusão pois não temos um
equivalente em português. Pode ser usado para algo que começou no
passado e ainda é verdade no presente; algo que ocorreu no passado
sem importar quando aconteceu.
I have been to Canada/ I have not been to Canada./ Have I been to
Canada?
She has read this book. /She has not read this book./ Has she read this
book?

Communicative approach

The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning

language successfully comes through having to communicate real
meaning. When learners are involved in real communication, their
natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will
allow them to learn to use the language.

Example

Practising question forms by asking learners to find out personal

information about their colleagues is an example of the
communicative approach, as it involves meaningful communication.

In the classroom Classroom activities guided by the communicative

approach are characterised by trying to produce meaningful and real
communication, at all levels. As a result there may be more emphasis
on skills than systems, lessons are more learner-centred, and there
may be use of authentic materials.

QUESTÃO 09 – CAIP-IMES- ABC – GESTOR -2015

Clues to How an Electric Treatment for Parkinson’s Work

In 1998, Dr. Philip A. Starr started putting electrodes in people’s

brains. A neurosurgeon at the University of California, San Francisco,
Dr. Starr was treating people with Parkinson’s disease, which slowly
destroys essential bits of brain tissue, robbing people of control of
their bodies. At first, drugs had given his patients some relief, but
now they needed more help. After the surgery, Dr. Starr closed up his
patients’ skulls and switched on the electrodes, releasing a steady
buzz of electric pulses in their brains. For many patients, the effect
was immediate. “We have people who, when they’re not taking their
meds, can be frozen,” said Dr. Starr. “When we turn on the
stimulator, they start walking.” First developed in the early
1990s, deep brain stimulation, or D.B.S., was approved by the Food
and Drug Administration for treating Parkinson’s disease in 2002.
Since its invention, about 100,000 people have received implants.
While D.B.S. doesn’t halt Parkinson’s, it can turn back the clock a few
years for many patients. Yet despite its clear effectiveness, scientists
like Dr. Starr have struggled to understand what D.B.S. actually does
to the brain. “We do D.B.S. because it works,” said Dr. Starr, “but we
don’t really know how.” In a recent experiment, Dr. Starr and his
colleagues believe they found a clue. D.B.S. may counter Parkinson’s
disease by liberating the brain from a devastating electrical lock-
step.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/16/science/ (adapted)

The negative form of: “In a recent experiment, Dr. Starr and his
colleagues believe they found a clue.” is:

25
 A) In a recent experiment, Dr. Starr and his colleagues don’t
believe they don’t found a clue.

B) Dr. Starr and his colleagues didn’t believe they didn’t find a
clue, in a recent experiment.

C) Dr. Starr and his colleagues don’t believe they didn’t found a
clue, in a recent experiment.

D) In a recent experiment, Dr. Starr and his colleagues don’t

believe they didn’t find a clue.

Harvard study: Men want powerful jobs more than women -By Justine
Hofherr, Boston.com Staff | 09.29.15

Let’s get one thing straight: Women believe they are as capable as
men to attain and perform high-level leadership positions at work.
Many just don’t want them as much, according to new research from
Harvard Business School.

The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of

Sciences (PNAS), includes nine studies conducted on high-achieving
groups. Professor Francesca Gino, doctoral student Caroline Wilmuth,
and associate professor Alison Wood Brooks (all of HBS) surveyed
over 4,000 male and female employees from different industries, and
found a big gap between the professional objectives of men and
women.

While women reported having twice as many “life goals” as men -

desired achievements that ranged from having strong relationships,
marriage, a meaningful career, and family - fewer were focused on

26
professional power, which women were more likely to associate with
negative outcomes like stress and conflict.

“This is a snapshot of where our culture is right now", Brooks told

Boston.com. “If we these questions 50 years ago, or in another
50 years, we might see dramatically different results. Women are
pursuing careers on par with men, yet women are still a little more
responsible for things at home.”

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY

Saint Patrick's Day, also known as The Feast of Saint Patrick, is

a traditional holiday celebrated every year on March 17th, the day the
patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, died.

Patrick, who was born in the fourth century, lived in the

British Isles, a land that had been invaded and conquered first by
the Romans and then by Germanic tribes. At the age of 16, Patrick
was captured and taken as a slave from the British Isles to what is
now Ireland. He lived there for several years herding sheep. He was
a religious boy, and he prayed that he would someday return to his
homeland.

Legend has it that one night while he was praying, a voice

told him to escape from the farm, and find a ship that was waiting
for him in a harbor two hundred miles aways. Patrick got to the
ship, sailed to Europe, and disembarked in what is now probably
France. He ---1--- several of the ship's crew through a dangerous
forest, praying all the time. Neither Patrick nor any member of his
crew was captured. When some of the men were about to die of
starvation, wild animals appeared to them to eat. Events such as
these appeared to be miracles and gave rise to later legends
surrounding Patrick.

Finally finding his way home, Patrick felt that he was called by
God to perform an important mission. He believed it was his duty to
go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian
Religion.

Patrick arrived in England and became a missionary, traveling

from village to village and talking about his faith. Once, several
members of a tribe approached Patrick and told him that they found

31
it difficult to understand and believe in the Holy Trinity. Patrick thought
a moment, then stooped down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks
growing wild around Ireland. “Here are three leaves", he said, “yet it
is one plant. Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each
of these leaves. Here they are, yet they are one plant." The
tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a familiar object to
explain. From that time on, the shamrock has been a revered symbol
of Ireland.

There are lots of stories about Patrick. One of them is about

him forcing snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. Even though
there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a
task, it is probably not true. Patrick died on March 17th, and the Irish
people set aside the day to mourn. He became the patron saint of
Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating him and celebrating
his life.

Because of Saint Patrick, lots of cities around the world with a

large population of Irish have parades. Green is one of the national
colors of Ireland. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the
parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons, and
hats. There are even pubs which serve green beer on that day.

Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian holiday in the

early seventeenth century. It is now observed by the Catholic Church,
the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran
Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of
Christianity in Ireland. Not only that, but it also celebrates the
heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

Communicative approach

The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning

language successfully comes through having to communicate real
meaning. When learners are involved in real communication, their
natural strategies for language acquisition will be used, and this will
allow them to learn to use the language.

Example
Practising question forms by asking learners to find out personal
information about their colleagues is an example of the
communicative approach, as it involves meaningful communication.

In the classroom Classroom activities guided by the communicative

approach are characterised by trying to produce meaningful and real
communication, at all levels. As a result there may be more emphasis
on skills than systems, lessons are more learner-centred, and there
may be use of authentic materials.
(Https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/communicative-approach)

Communicative Approach is in:
A) Present continuous.
B) The Gerund.
