Este material, mais uma vez, resultado das minhas postagens no meu Blog, Dicas
e Exerccios de Ingls ( http://inglesnapontadalingua.blogspot.com ).
Aqui esto as mais teis, acessadas e comentadas de 2009, de maio a dezembro.
Espero, como fiz nos trs primeiros livros, que tudo isso seja til a quem ler e que
este material d fora e vontade s pessoas de aprender Ingls cada vez mais.
Assim como no livro anterior no estou colocando ndice. Livros com ndice
obedecendo certinho a ordem de matrias didticas existem aos montes por a.
Quero que o meu seja, a cada pgina, diferente de tudo. O assunto seguinte no tem
nada a ver com o anterior ? Sim, muitas vezes isso vai acontecer nesse livro e pra
dar ao leitor uma habilidade de no se ver preso a um assunto.
Obrigado a todos que esto lendo estas linhas, que pediram o livro anterior por email (foram mais de 4000), e obrigao minha famlia, alunos e ex-alunos.
Comecemos pois, com o primeiro de 30 tpicos:
a) O verbo deve ter suas 3 ltimas letras em consoante- vogal e consoante ( muitos
lugares dizem que basta esta regra mas temos mais duas abaixo)
b) O verbo precisa ser monosslabo ou oxtono ( por isso que listen e offer, por
exemplo, no tm sua ltima consoante dobrada antes de receber ING )
c) Mesmo respeitando as duas condies acima, o verbo no pode terminar em W,
X, ou Y. por isso que no dobramos em FIX, PLAY e GROW
E outro caso que muitas pessoas desconhecem a existncia dos chamados STATE
VERBS. So verbos que simplesmente no existem no Present Continuous, ou seja,
para passar a idia de andamento, deixamos o verbo no Simple Present mesmo.
No usamos I am understanding nem I am needing.
Understand, like, prefer, belong, want, know, see (como "ver" pois como "namorar"
pode) e cerca de outros 10 verbos no vo para o present continuous.
Exemplos:
I cant understand what you are explaining.
Bill, I need help ! Come here.
I think she wants to watch the soap opera, not the soccer match.
mudana nos verbos nas frases afirmativas completas. Em cerca de 90% das vezes,
acrecentamos S.
Does he live in London?
Yes, he does. No, he doesnt.
Yes, he lives in London.
No, he doesnt live in London.
Ateno para as excees:
1 - Se o verbo terminar em CH, SH, S, O e X, vamos acrescentar ES e no apenas S.
He watches TV every night.
He goes to church every Sunday.
He washes his own clothes.
E por a vai.
2- Quando um verbo termina em consoante + Y, trocamos o Y por I e acresentamos
ES.
Ex: They study every day. He STUDIES every day.
(Mas I play - he plays, vogal + consoante)
3 - E um caso irregular: HAVE vira HAS
I have 100 dollars but she only has 50.
Vamos continuar analisando os elementos da nossa frmula.
Podemos ter algo antes do auxiliar: o pronome interrogativo, que pode ter uma
ou mais palavras e nunca vai pedir Yes ou NO como resposta. Termos que dizer um
tempo, ou lugar, ou pessoa, conforme pedido na pergunta:
Where does your mother live ?
No usamos Yes, she does e NO, she doesnt pois no faz sentido.
My mother lives in Botafogo.
My mother lives in SP.
My mother lives in NY.
What time does your class start ?
When does she watch TV ?
How much does this book cost ?
How often do you have classes ?
Obs - Perguntas sem auxiliar. Fazemos perguntas sem os auxiliares DO e DOES em
2 casos:
a - Quando estamos perplexos com uma informao recm recebida.
Ex: You sleep until 1p.m every day ? (Pessoa perplexa com a informao que
recebeu que a amiga dorme at muito tarde todo dia).
Outros exemplos: You run a marathon every week ?
She drinks 20 glasses of juice every day ?
CUIDADO 2
Tnhamos visto at agora o verbo TO BE abreviado conforme o exemplo abaixo:
HES MY FRIEND
A partir de agora teremos tambm o auxiliar HAS abreviado da mesma forma que o
IS. Para saber qual qual s lembrar que HAS, assim como HAVE (representando
o present perfect) vir sempre acompanhado de um particpio.
ESTRUTURA DE PERGUNTAS E RESPOSTAS COM PRESENT PERFECT
Have you seen the accident ?
Yes I have.
No I havent.
Yes, I have seen it.
No, I havent seen it
Yes, I have seen the accident.
No, I havent seen the accident.
Devemos ter em mente que o Simple Past usado com o tempo determinado no
passado.
Agora so 2 da tarde.
Did you work a lot this morning? (tempo acabado)
Agora so 10:40 da manh.
Have you worked a lot this morning?

III - Ordem de adjetivos
Observem as frases:
Shes just bought that beautiful black t-shirt.
Shes just bought that black beautiful t-shirt.
O que temos acima ?
a - S a primeira est certa.
b - S a segunda est certa.
c - As duas esto certas.
d - As duas esto erradas.
Letra A. S a primeira est certa.
Vejamos por que:
Quando temos um substantivo sendo caracterizado por dois adjetivos, temos que
colocar mais perto dele o adjetivo que representa fato (a camisa preta e no se
discute). O adjetivo que representa opinio (eu acho bonita e voc pode no achar),
vem mais afastado do substantivo.
Ento:
She is a beautiful 18-year-old girl.
This is a nice leather jacket.
She has long black hair.
Ok ?
Bye.

dos verbos.
Ex: work - worked, play - played, need - needed, listen - listened
Mas, ATENO, s pronunciamos o E do sufixo ED se ele vier depois de D e T.
Ento:
Palavra: wanted - Pronncia: wanted
Palavra: needed - Pronncia: nded
Agora, em listened, traveled, offered, fixed, worked etc vamos sempre omitir o E do
ED no som. Caso contrrio estaremos falando algo semelhante a "adevogado" e isso
o pior som que nos chega ao ouvido em Ingls.
H outros casos importantes mas vou parando por aqui seno o tpico vai ficar
gigantesco e tambm porque minha aluna j est chegando.
Boa semana a todos.
26 Exerccio 7

Ao contrrio, se a pessoa volta e marca 2 aulas por semana (8 aulas por ms) e falta
a 50% delas e continua sem estudar, sem escrever e sem ouvir nada fora das aulas,
vai por gua abaixo todo aquele investimento e tempo da viagem.
Imaginem a comparao: voc um pai ou me, tem seu cnjuge e dois filhos,
ambos so de classe mdia-mdia, tem um carrinho 2007 na garagem e seus dois
filhos estudam em boas escolas. Uma renda familiar de cerca de 3000 reais
suficiente para a famlia se manter (sem regalias mas sem a "corda no pescoo").
Voc ganha um prmio de, digamos, 1 milho de reais na mega sena e usa metade
no que precisa e acha necessrio.
Sobram 500.000 reais que, se aplicados na caderneta de poupana com juros de
0,5 a 0,6% ao ms, vo render de 2500 a 3000 reais.
Voc ento, conseguiu um alvio mensal mais ou menos equivalente renda da
famlia. Se a famlia parar de trabalhar, vai viver com os rendimentos mais ou
menos nas mesmas condies, mas, a cada saque extraordinrio na conta, menos
dinheiro fica e menos segurana, um nmero menor de vantagens e possibilidades.
Com o aprendizado do Ingls exatamente a mesma coisa. Viajando ou no, se
relaxar, vai estagnar e tende a piorar logo logo.
Bom, o tpico ficou um pouco maior do que eu queria, me empolguei um pouco
escrevendo e espero que voc tenha chegado at aqui lendo tudo isso.
Bom dia e bom trabalho (ou estudo) a todos hoje.
