PRONOUNS I 3

PRONOUNS I
Conheça e use os pronomes
Vamos aprender um pouco sobre os pronomes Subject e Object Pronouns, o que são e para
que servem.

SUBJECT PRONOUNS

Pronouns are short words and can do everything that nouns can do and they represent nouns
that are the subjects of sentences. For example, in the below sentences:
ͫ Stephanie is my wife = She is my wife.  The subject is “Stephanie”
ͫ Elie loves watching movies. He loves watching movies.  The subject is “Elie”
Obs: Os Subject pronouns veem antes dos verbos.
a. It (ele ou ela) refere-se a coisas, animais e fenômenos da natureza.
The cat sleeps. It is raining.
It sleeps.

b. It é usado quando o sexo não estiver definido ou não seja necessário especificá-lo.
Child = criança or Baby = bebê
The child is important for the family.
It is important for the family.
c. He e She podem aparecer para designar animais e coisas personificadas
ͫ Atenção!!

Ship in English: “She” =The Titanic

- I é sempre em letra maiúscula, até


mesmo quando não é a primeira letra da frase.
- You é usado para referir-se tanto a uma única pessoa quantos a muitas.
- It é usado com objetos e também é usado com animais se não soubermos o sexo. Se não
soubermos o sexo de um bebê, usamos it também.
- They é usado tanto para pessoas quanto objetos.
Obs.: Estudaremos nas próximas aula o Verbo to be que tem duas traduções básicas: ser ou
estar. E possui três formas em sua conjugação no presente: am/is/are

OBJECT PRONOUNS

Os object pronouns possuem a função de complementar o verbo, substituindo algum objeto


em uma frase, evitando a repetição.
Example:

“I bought shoes and gave the shoes them to my girlfriend.”


Observe que them (object pronouns) está substituindo the shoes (object).
ATIVIDADES DE APRENDIZAGEM 5

O verbo give (dar) que conjugado se transformou em gave (dei) exige um complemento como
em português:
“Eu comprei sapatos e dei os sapatos para minha namorada”. Estranho não é?
O ideal seria: “Eu comprei sapatos e os dei para minha namorada”.
Percebeu a diferença?

Obs: Os Object pronouns veem normalmente após os verbos ou preposições.


- That woman loves Tony = That woman loves him.
- I work with Miss Brown = I work with her.
