Simple Past
Usado para falar sobre ações que foram finalizadas no passado. Os verbos são divididos em duas categorias:
regulares e irregulares. Os verbos regulares são formados pelo acréscimo da partícula ED. Exemplo:
Personal Pronouns
Affirmative Form
Negative Form
I/we/you/they
watched
(did not watch)
he/she/it
watched
( did not watch)
Verbos Irregulares – Não há regra fixa para a formação dos verbos irregulares. Será necessário memorizá-los. No
entanto, tais verbos podem ser agrupados pela semelhança em suas alterações, o que facilita o estudo. Exemplo:
BUY
Personal Pronouns
Affirmative Form
Negative Form
I
bought
(didn’t buy)
you/we/they
bought
(didn’t buy)
he/she/it
bought
(didn’t buy)
Expressões: Algumas expressões acompanham Simple Past, marcando o tempo em que o fato ocorreu.
Por exemplo:
Yesterday,
Last week, last month, last Saturday, etc
Ago
2008
Past continuous/progressive
Usado para relatar ações ou eventos que estavam em desenvolvimento no tempo passado e foram interrompidas
por outra ação. Atenção ao uso do verbo BE (was/were) junto com o verbo principal:

I
was arriving

you/we/they
were arriving
(were not arriving)

BACK ON THE BIKE, WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE CITY
Why are cars the preferred form of urban personal transport? Riding a bicycle will save you money, create
less pollution, make you healthier and let you zip past heavy traffic. Will anything persuade auto owners to
hop on a two-wheeler? Absolutely yes, says a new report from Washington’s Worldwatch Institute. In
“Taking Bikes Seriously,” senior researcher Gary Gardner shows how cities around the world have
increased bike ridership by offering a little encouragement. The city of Copenhagen, for example, makes
2,300 bicycles available for public use; the $3 rental fee is refunded when the bike is returned. In Lima,
Peru, low-income residents can buy bicycles through a special small-loan program. During the 1980s
Japan helped bikers by boosting the number of bicycle parking spaces at railway stations about fourfold, to
2.4 million. That strategy saved both money and land; two bikes can fit into a square meter of parking
space, while cars require about 30 sq m each. Bike-friendly policies in western Germany have lifted the
amount of cycling by 50% since the early 1970s.
The Worldwatch report also notes the growing use of bicycles among police forces worldwide. More than
2,000 police departments now use two-wheelers, and a survey by the International Police Bike Association
found that arrest rates often jumped after bike patrols were introduced. “The secret to this effectiveness is
stealth,” says Worldwatch’s Gardner. “A bike cop sees more, and is less seen, than a colleague in a car.”
In developing Asia, where bicycles have long dominated many cities, the transport trend has been moving
in the opposite direction. Bikers have let go of the handlebars as quickly as they could afford to climb
behind a steering wheel – with motorbikes used in the transition. But the economic crisis will no doubt
remind Asian city dwellers that biking is cheaper than driving – and better for the environment.
