Objetivo: Revisão dos tempos verbais – Simple Present, Present Continuous
Simple Present
Usado para falar sobre ações que acontecem no dia-a-dia, com determinada freqüência ou ainda, verdades gerais.
Personal Pronouns
Affirmative Form
Negative Form
I/we/you/they
arrive
(do not arrive)
he/she/it
arrives
(does not arrive)
Observe que: Para as pessoas do singular HE, SHE, IT, na forma afirmativa, os verbos do presente simples sofrem
alteração. Acrescentamos s ao verbo, conforme exemplo acima: arrives
Para os verbos terminados em s, sh, ch, x, o, z, acrescentamos es:
Personal Pronoun
I /we/you/ they
he/she/it
Affirmative Form
watch
watches
Negative form
( do not watch)
(does not watch)
Os verbos termidos em y sofrem alteração, dependendo da posição do y na palavra. Se o y vier depois de uma
consoante, sofrerá alteração: study – studies. Caso o y apareça depois de uma vogal, acrescentaremos apenas s: play
– plays.
Verbo auxiliar – Do - Does
Em inglês utilizaremos o verbo auxiliar para construir frases negativas e interrogativas. No presente simples o verbo
auxiliar é DO para as pessoas I, you, we, they e DOES para as pessoas he, she, it. Veja os exemplos:
Interrogative form:
DO you play the piano?
DOES Maria play the guitar?
Negative form: (do not = don’t ) (does not = doesn’t)
I don’t have a car.
She doesn’t play volleyball.
Present Continuous – Present Progressive
Usado para ações ou eventos que estão acontecendo agora, no momento da fala, para planos futuros, ou ainda,
para mostrar que uma ação é repetida.
