Vocabulary - curiosities
Like vs. As
Este like não é o verbo gostar, mas o conectivo
“como”, tornando sua tradução para nossa língua
parecida com a tradução do conectivo as. Porém
vale notar que, like é usado em frases nas quais há
comparação entre dois elementos “vivos”, onde
buscamos estabelecer laços comuns entre estes
elementos (é o gerador de “apelidos”). Ex: You’re like
a dog ou You are screaming like a pig.
Já o As é usado quando estabelecemos conexão
entre dois elementos, sendo pelo menos um deles
abstratos (é o que acontece quando lemos o elenco
de um filme, por exmplo). Ex: In this movie we have
Bruce wills starring as the bad guy and Madonna as
the lost beautiful girl.
But (mas) vs. but (a não ser)
Na verdade não há conflito de interpretações, pois o
but pode ser mas, para causar idéia de adversidade,
assim como pode ser usado para dar a idéia de uma
condição contrária à primeira já exposta. Ex: I don’t
love anyone but you (idéia de contrariedade); I love
you but I love her more than I love you (idéia de
adversidade).
Still vs. Yet
A única diferença entre eles é que still entra no meio
da frase (I still love you) e o yet aparece no final (He
loves you yet).
Too / as well vs. also vs. either
I love no one but you.
It looks like I have no choice but staying here and
wait for him.
unless (a não ser que)
I will be there right today unless the airplane falls
down.
I’ll keep training unless you order me to stop it
immediately.
while (enquanto)
He was studying while you were sleeping.
They were doing that while you were trying to
find the other animal.
Instead of (ao invés de)
They prefer to work instead of sleeping.
You should read some new magazines instead of
reading old books.
Obs: Most of the verbs that come along with
prepositions get gerund form. Ask for some
exemples!!!!
Todos eles significam “também”, porém suas
posições variam nas frases. Ex: I like you too
(aparece no fim, é igual ao as well); I like you as well;
I also like you (aparece no início) ; I don’t like you
either (vem na frase negativa).
chase vs. go after
Significam respectivamente “perseguir” e “ir atrás
de”. Ex: He is chasing my car (perseguindo) ; He is
going after my car (indo atrás para encontrar, está
fazendo uma busca).
a lot vs. much / a lot of vs. many
Na verdade, estas expressões são iguais, porém a
lot e much se referem mais a intensidade (sentido
singular) enquanto que a loto f e many se referem
mais a quantidade (sentido plural). Ex: I love you so
much/a lot ; He has many/a lot of friends.
So much vs too much / so many vs. too many
So much (tanto/a): I love you so much ; too much
(demais): Too much whisky isn’t good for health ; so
many (tantos/as): There were so many objects falling
to Earth / too many (demais): There are too many
people here.
Obs: Peça pro instructor reviser many/much e how
many/how much.
Little vs. few
Little é usado para determinar tamanho (também é
usado para causar diminutivos) e few determina a
quantidade. Ex: This little boy is very smart ; This is
just a little part of the work / I only know some few
people ; These few problems can cause our fallen.
