Palavra do autor
Hello, folks!
Sejam bem-vindos ao curso de Inglês Pré-Intermediário, da
Plataforma +IFMG!
Em um mundo globalizado, onde todos estão cada vez mais
conectados, saber um segundo idioma é algo que se tornou natural. Seja em
aplicativos, videogames, em textos na internet ou em livros, o inglês está
presente no nosso dia a dia de diversas maneiras e é essencial saber este
idioma, que é o segundo mais falado no mundo inteiro.
No Brasil, a Língua Inglesa é ensinada como língua estrangeira
oficialmente estabelecida nas matrizes curriculares. Entretanto, percebe-se
que, apesar de sua grande importância no contexto mundial, o ensino de
Língua Inglesa, muitas vezes, é depreciado, tido como “difícil” por parte dos
alunos e, “acessório” por muitos gestores. O resultado disso é que se torna
muito difícil aprender o inglês como um segundo idioma apenas com as aulas
regulares na escola.
Assim, com o curso de Formação Inicial de Inglês Pré-Intermediário,
na modalidade EaD, intencionamos uma formação que permita a mudança de
perspectiva em sua vida, a compreensão das relações que de estabelecem
no mundo do qual você faz parte, a ampliação de sua leitura de mundo e a
participação efetiva nos processos sociais.
Desta forma, após muito estudo, a Plataforma +IFMG apresenta a
vocês, iniciantes na comunicação em língua inglesa, um curso compacto,
objetivo e com o intuito de fomentar e estimular seus interesses em língua e
cultura dos países que têm o inglês como língua nativa. O curso é divido em
três livros, com seis aulas cada e tem um total de 90 horas. Importante
destacar que se optou por inserir a língua inglesa de maneira gradual no
curso, por isso, pode ser que a língua portuguesa seja usada em alguns
momentos.
So, let´s do it! I hope you enjoy and learn so much with us!
Teacher Viviane
Bons estudos!

Plataforma +IFMG
Improve your vocabulary! Take note of the new words.
Grammar Point: Modal Verbs
Modal Verbs are words that

accompany the main verbs of
the sentence to express
some specific meaning.
Modal verbs add a second
idea, which can be
possibility, ability,
obligation, or permission.
The main modal

verbs in English are “Will”,
“Would”, “Should”, “Can”,
“Could”, “May”, “Might”,
“Shall” and “Must”, but
“Ought to”, “Need” and
“Have to” are also
considered modal verbs
and are easily found in
different texts.
Let´s see them one by one:

18
Plataforma +IFMG
Can / Could (“poder” – present and past): In addition to indicating ability, we use “can” in
informal situations for request. Use “can I” plus the verb to make a request. “Could”
replaces “can” for more formal situations, such as in business or to talk to strangers. In
addition, “Could” is often used to suggest a solution to a problem. It introduces possibilities
but not preferences.
I can't swim. (ability)

He could go to India next year. (possibility)
May / Might (“poder” – present and past): “May” is used for permissions but it is also used
for request in formal situations. Use “might” to show you’re not sure if you’ll do something.
It’s a possibility.
May I ask a question? (permission)

It might rain tomorrow. (possibility)
Will: “Will”, normally used in the Simple Future, is a modal verb. Use “will” to say what you
think will happen in the future when you don’t have firm evidence for your prediction.
I will arrive early and leave late to every meeting. (prediction)
Would: (as “Futuro do Pretérito” in Portuguese): “Would” is a modal verb, used to talk
about things you want to do. “Would” can also indicate a desire.
Would you get that box off the top shelf? (request)
I would like to eat a pizza. (desire)
Should / Ought to (“deveria”): If someone has a problem, one of the ways that you can
give advice is by using the modal verb “should.” “Should” is used for something that should
be done, but hasn't been done yet. Although “should” is much more used, “ought to” has the
same meaning. The difference between the use of both is that “ought to” indicates a more
formal treatment.
You should try the lasagna. (advice)

That guy ought to wear less cologne. (advice)
Shall: “Shall” is used to show that something can happen, but that it depends on a
condition. The term is also used as a request for permission, to find out if the other person
wants you to do something. “Shall” is most common in sentences with the pronouns I and
we.

19
Plataforma +IFMG
Shall we go out for lunch? (suggestion)

Shall I open the window? (offer)
Must / Have to / Need (dever / ter / precisar): In English, you can use “have to” or “must”
when talking about obligations or things that are necessary. You may hear it in important
instructions such as medical advice. The modal verb “must” shows obligation, the certainty
that something really has to be done. The negative form “must not / mustn´t” indicates
prohibition.
“Have to” is a statement, it says that you must do something. It resembles the
“must”, but without that weight of order.
“Need” is the least common of these. As a modal verb, it is used in negative
sentences or with a negative meaning, and its use indicates a lack of need or obligation to
do something. The negative is formed by adding not: “need not/needn't”. It doesn't get -s in
the third person.
You must wash your hands before cooking. (obligation)

Children mustn't see this movie. (prohibition)
We have to wait for our boss to arrive before we open. (obligation not too strong)
You don’t need to come if you don’t want to. (lack of obligation)
Listen and repeat the sentences.
Teacher´s Tip!! You may have noticed

that modal verbs take negative and
interrogative forms in the same way as
auxiliary verbs, right?
So don't forget:
NEGATIVE FORM
Subject + modal + not + verb + …
INTERROGATIVE FORM
Modal + subject + verb + …?

LESSON 8 – A little respect! Plataforma +IFMG
Briefing
In this lesson you will learn about Tag Questions and how
they are used, and some important adverbs. We will also
read about some great world personalities.
Reading
You too would like to live in a world of peace, where people respect each other,
wouldn't you? Every human being has its value, no matter what color, creed, sexual
orientation, limitations that life imposes on us. However, there are a series of events that
revolt us, for bringing out the worst: intolerance.
More than ever, protests, laws and punishments for those who practice these true
social crimes are emerging all over the world. After all, it's all about respect, isn't it?
RACISM
Racism is the denomination of

discrimination and prejudice (directly
or indirectly) against individuals or
groups because of their ethnicity or
color. It is important to emphasize
that prejudice is a form of concept or
judgment formulated without any
prior knowledge of the subject matter,
while discrimination is the act of
separating, excluding or
differentiating people or objects.
In Brazil, racism is a crime.

Provided for in Law nº 7.716/1989, the
crime of racism is imprescriptible and
non-bailable, with a penalty of up to
five years of imprisonment.

25
Plataforma +IFMG
HOMOPHOBIA
Homophobia is mainly
characterized by aversion and
discrimination against a
group whose sexuality and
identity has always been
hegemonic against other
groups that deviate from
established standards, and
encompasses psychological,
moral, physical and/or sexual
aggression against the
LGBTQIA+ population, in
addition to issues of public
and institutional spheres,
such as the denial of
fundamental rights.
LGBT rights in the

world vary according to the
culture of each country. There is currently a huge variety in the scope of laws that affect
people of the LGBT group in the world. These differences in rights relating to LGBT people
have been present throughout the history of human civilizations, persisting to the present
day. From countries that criminalize homosexuality with the death penalty, such as Saudi
Arabia, Mauritania or Yemen, to countries that have already legalized civil marriage
between people of the same gender, such as the Netherlands, Spain or Canada.
In Brazil, in 2019, the Federal Supreme Court ruled that homophobia is an

imprescriptible and non-bailable crime. In the decision, the STF understood that the Racism
law (Law number 7.716/1989) applied to cases of homophobia and transphobia. Article 20 of
the law in question provides for a penalty of one to three years in prison and a fine for
anyone who engages in this conduct.
DISABLED
Capacitism means the discrimination of people with disabilities, its translation into
English is ableism. The term is based on the social construction of a standard body, without
disabilities, called “normal” and the underestimation of the capacity and aptitude of people
due to their disabilities.
Physical or mental disability is often seen as a conditioning factor in people's lives.

There are those who still have the false idea that a person with a disability has limitations
and that they cannot overcome obstacles to build a brilliant career.

26
Plataforma +IFMG
Increasingly, however, these people have proven to us that they can go a long way, breaking
down barriers and breaking social paradigms.
In Brazil, the 21st of September is the National Day of Struggle for People with
Disabilities, and it is a date that marks the construction of mobilizations for the Social
Inclusion of People with Disabilities, awareness of the anti-capacitist struggle and
celebration of these movements.

Improve your vocabulary! Take note of the new words.
Reflection…
Read the questions below, reflect and prepare to answer at the Forum activity, in
virtual room.
1. Do you think Racism, Homophobia and discrimination of people with disabilities

should be considered crime in our society?
2. Have you ever seen any scene of discrimination?
3. How can laws be more effective in these cases?
Grammar Point: Question Tags
In spoken English, you might hear small questions added to the ends of sentences.
These are called Question Tags or Tag Questions, and they are used to invite someone to
agree with you.
In other words, we use Tag Questions to confirm our expectations. We think
something is true and we want or expect the listener agree with us. In fact, using Tag
Questions is similar to asking “Am I right?” or “Do you agree?”.
Teacher´s Tip!! Question tags are mostly

used in informal situations.

28
Plataforma +IFMG
A Tag Question can also be defined as a statement followed by a mini-question:
Pay attention! A positive statement is followed

by a negative question tag, and a negative
statement is followed by a positive question
tag.

They should play well in today’s match, shouldn’t they?
She will have been dancing all day, won’t she?
We have been celebrating his victory all night, haven’t we?
We seldom play football on this ground, do we?
I'm sure you've already noticed how simple it is to use Tag Questions. So now let's
get to know some specific cases:
Ruler Example
If a statement begins with I’m: use the verb form I’m looking handsome, aren’t I?
are/aren’t I?
If the phrase begins with Let’s: we use “shall we?” Let’s celebrate tonight, shall we?
If the statements are Imperative: Close the door, will you? (order- less polite)
Invitations - we use will you / won’t you? Come closer, won’t you? (invitation - polite)
Orders - we use “will you?/ would you?/ can Sit down, can you? (order)
you?/ can’t you?” Take it, would you? (order)
Structure included “there” is also reflected in a There’s no choice left, is there?

question tag also.
Subjects Everyone / Everybody, No one / Nobody, Someone was looking for a car, were they?
Someone /Somebody: use “they” as subject in the Nobody came for a funeral, did they?
Tag.
Subjects Everything / Nothing /Something / This: Something missing in the photo, doesn’t it?
use “it” as subject in the Tag. Nothing will change after you, won’t it?
This is not your new hostel, is it?

Always good to know…
Numbers always appear a lot in texts, either to express quantity or to express data, a
date. Fractions, decimals, and percentages are all pronounced differently in spoken
English, following a few simple rules.
See how they are used in some specific cases:
Observe the examples:

Your answers:
Grammar Point: If Clause – Zero Conditional
If Clauses in English are the conditional sentences used in several situations and
always come concomitantly with the term If. They are used to talk about future plans,
situations that are likely or unlikely to happen, or even choices that were made in the
past.
There are four types of Conditionals. Zero Conditional, First Conditional, Second
Conditional and Third Conditional. In the next four weeks, we will study each of them and
you will see that everything you have learned in grammar is connected.
If Clauses are made up of two sentences: an “if clause” (conditional clause –
subordinate clause) and a main clause.
In this lesson, we will study the Zero Conditional. English uses the Zero Conditional
to talk about actions that always have the same results. This is useful for talking about
scientific facts.

45
Plataforma +IFMG
The Zero Conditional uses “if” with the Present, followed by the Present in the main
clause too. It is normal we find sentences in Zero Conditional that use “when” in the
subordinate clause.
Sentences using the Zero Conditional can be reversed, so the result comes before
the action.
Others examples:
If James studies a lot, he gets tired.

If you need help, talk to the teacher.
Snakes bite when they are scared.
When babies are hungry, they cry.
Listen and repeat sentences.

46

the main clause should be in the Present
Tense!

If you're one of those students who always want to know more, you've certainly

not exaggerate with commas, the other
punctuation marks are used exactly as we
use them in Portuguese.

Your text:
Listen Connor´s presentation.
Grammar Point: First Conditional
English uses conditional verbs to describe the future results of a proposed action
too. The First Conditional is useful for suggesting plans and giving advice. In other words, it
expresses a suggested action that might lead to a future result.
The First Conditional is usually introduced by “if” followed by the Present Simple.
The future with “will” expresses the result.

56
Plataforma +IFMG
Teacher´s Tip!! So, we have:
If Clause = Simple Present

Main Clause = Future Simple
You can use “unless” instead of “if” in conditional sentences. “Unless” means
“if…not,” so the future result depends on the suggested action not happening. The order of
the clauses doesn't matter with sentences using unless.
More examples:
You will be sick if you don't stop eating.

You'll be sick unless you stop eating.
I won't pay if you don't provide the goods immediately.
I won't pay unless you provide the goods immediately.
If you don't study dilligently, you'll never understand trigonometry.
Unless you study dilligently, you'll never understand trigonometry.

57
Plataforma +IFMG
Other cases with First Conditional
Using Imperative and Modal Verbs:

In First Conditional sentences, you can use an Imperative or Modal Verbs instead
of the future with “will.” This makes the sentence an instruction or a suggestion instead of a
prediction about the future.
Use “if” followed by the present simple to describe a problem. The imperative gives
the solution to the problem.
The same you can see with Modal Verbs:
If he doesn’t train harder, he may/might lose the championship.

Present Modal
If your room is tidy, you can leave.

Present Modal
Using “When” and “As soon as”:

English uses “when” and “as soon as” to talk about events or actions in the future
that happen before another event or action can take place. These phrases are called
subordinate time clauses.

Grammar Point: Second Conditional
English uses the Second Conditional to describe the result of an unlikely or

impossible event. Because the event is unlikely, the result is also unlikely.
Like the First Conditional, the Second Conditional uses “if” to describe an action.
The result is described using “would.”
The Second Conditional uses the Past Simple after “if”, then 'would' and the
infinitive.
If Clause = Simple Past

Main Clause = Would
Some more examples:
If I met the King of England, I would say hello.

Sam would travel all over the world if he were rich.
The boys would pass the exam if they ever studied.
If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.

74
Plataforma +IFMG
There is one specific use of the Second Conditional structure: for giving advices.
The phrase “If I were you” is often used to give advice in English. By saying it, you imagine
that you are in the same position as the person you are talking to.
We use “if I were you” to give advice and the advice is expressed using “I would.”
Pay Attention! In conditional use “I were” not

“I Was”.

Grammar Point: Third Conditional
We have seen how the Zero Conditional, the First Conditional and the Second
Conditional are all used to talk about possibility and result in the present and future. The
Third Conditional is what we use to talk about the past. It's used to describe a situation
that didn't happen, and to imagine the result of this situation.
In other words, we use the Third Conditional to say what would have happened in
the past, but actually didn´t happen.
We make the Third Conditional by using the Past Perfect after 'if' and then 'would
have' and the Past Participle in the second part of the sentence.

84
Plataforma +IFMG
We can use “should have” or “could have” instead of “would have” express an
opinion on the best course of action. This is the way we imagine how things could have
been different in the past.
If Clause = Past Perfect

Main Clause = Would / Should /
Could have + Past Participle
Some examples:
What would have you done if the boss had asked you to work overtime?
We would have gone for a picnic if the weather had been better.
If you were going to the football game yesterday, you should have invited me to go
with you.
I could have helped you if had told me.

Formação Inicial e Continuada EaD
A Pró-Reitoria de Extensão (Proex), desde o ano de

2020, concentrou seus esforços na criação do Programa
+IFMG. Esta iniciativa consiste em uma plataforma de cursos
online, cujo objetivo, além de multiplicar o conhecimento
institucional em Educação a Distância (EaD), é aumentar a
abrangência social do IFMG, incentivando a qualificação
profissional. Assim, o programa contribui para o IFMG
cumprir seu papel na oferta de uma educação pública, de
qualidade e cada vez mais acessível.
Para essa realização, a Proex constituiu uma equipe
multidisciplinar, contando com especialistas em educação,
web design, design instrucional, programação, revisão de
texto, locução, produção e edição de vídeos e muito mais.
Além disso, contamos com o apoio sinérgico de diversos
setores institucionais e também com a imprescindível
contribuição de muitos servidores (professores e técnico-
administrativos) que trabalharam como autores dos materiais
didáticos, compartilhando conhecimento em suas áreas de
atuação.
A fim de assegurar a mais alta qualidade na produção destes cursos, a Proex
adquiriu estúdios de EaD, equipados com câmeras de vídeo, microfones, sistemas de
iluminação e isolação acústica, para todos os 18 campi do IFMG.
Somando à nossa plataforma de cursos online, o Programa +IFMG disponibilizará
também, para toda a comunidade, uma Rádio Web Educativa, um aplicativo móvel para
Android e IOS, um canal no Youtube com a finalidade de promover a divulgação cultural e
científica e cursos preparatórios para nosso processo seletivo, bem como para o Enem,
considerando os saberes contemplados por todos os nossos cursos.
Parafraseando Freire, acreditamos que a educação muda as pessoas e estas, por
sua vez, transformam o mundo. Foi assim que o +IFMG foi criado.
O +IFMG significa um IFMG cada vez mais perto de você!
