Text I
The rain leaves Oklahoma in late May, too early in the growing season.
The sky and the earth grow pale. The new corn begins to dry up. The roads
turn into dust clouds. In mid June, heavy clouds pass over Oklahoma but
leave only a spattering of rain.
A gentle wind follows, which develops into a strong one. The corn crop
is ruined, and the country is covered in a dusty cloud. Men and women hide
in their houses.
When the wind passes on and the dust settles, the people come out
of their houses. The men look silently at the dry corn. “The women studied
the men’s faces secretly, for the corn could go as long as something else
remained.” The children wait for their parents’ reactions. After a while, the
men’s faces become angry and resistant and the women know everything
will be all right. The women go to work and children begin to play.

It’s a fact!
IT’S
A FACT!
THE DUST BOWL OF OKLAHOMA
During the great dust storms of the 1930s in Oklahoma, the weather threw up so much dirt that, at times,
there was zero visibility and everything was covered in dirt. No matter how tightly Oklahomans sealed their
homes, they could not keep the dirt from entering. Dust storms were the result of drought and land that had
been overused. Drought first hit the country in 1930. By 1934, it had turned the Great Plains into a desert
that came to be known as the Dust Bowl.
Read the sentences from the text:
The rain leaves Oklahoma…
The roads turn into dust clouds.
Observe que as palavras em destaque são verbos. Esses verbos indicam uma ação que acontece no
presente e, por isso, esse tempo verbal é chamado de Simple Present.

1. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE – REVIEW
Uso
1.1 Repeated Actions
Como aprendemos nas séries anteriores, usamos o Simple Present para expressar a ideia de que uma ação
é repetida ou comum. A ação pode ser uma rotina, um hábito ou algo que acontece frequentemente.

1.2 Facts or Generalizations
O Simple Present pode também indicar um fato que é sempre verdadeiro e que não mudará no futuro.
Ele também é usado para fazer generalizações sobre pessoas ou coisas.
Past
Present
Cats like milk.
Birds do not like milk.
Do pigs like milk?
California is in America.
Future
California is not in the United Kingdom.
Windows are made of glass.
Windows are not made of wood.
1.3 Scheduled Events in the Near Future
Também usamos o Simple Present para falar de eventos programados num futuro próximo. Esse uso
geralmente ocorre quando falamos sobre transportes públicos, o que não nos impede de falar com outros
acontecimentos previamente programados.

Past
Present
The train leaves tonight at 6 PM.
The bus does not arrive at 11 AM, it arrives at 11 PM.

Simple Present Tense – Review
Para formar o Simple Present dos verbos devemos lembrar que basta somente utilizarmos os verbos no
infinitivo, porém sem a partícula TO.
To work – I work
To jump – We jump
Regra para a formação da 3a pessoa do singular:
I) Acrescentamos -s à maioria dos verbos.
To jump – She jumps into the water.
To run – The girl runs in the park.
II) Acrescentamos -es aos verbos terminados em – ch, – sh, – s, – x, – z e – o.
To fix – The mechanic fixes the car.
To wash – His mother washes the dishes.
To pass – The student passes in his exams.
To go – That dog goes down the street.
To watch – The player watches the game.
III) Acrescentamos -ies aos verbos terminados em -y precedidos de consoantes. Porém o verbo perde esta
letra.
To study – John studies in the library.
Ronaldo plays soccer well.
Watch out!
Para formar a 3a pessoa
do singular, o verbo
recebe o – s, – es e – ies.
Para formar a interrogativa dos verbos no Simple Present
acrescentamos os auxiliares do (I, you, we, they) e does (he, she, it).
Do you go to school in the morning?
Does she go to school in the morning?
Para formar a negativa dos verbos no Simple Present acrescentamos os auxiliares don’t (I, you, we,
they) e doesn’t (he, she, it).
You don’t go to school in the morning.
She doesn’t go to school in the morning.
Observe que, quando utilizamos o auxiliar does para a 3a pessoa do singular, o verbo principal, que
na forma afirmativa havia recebido -s,-ies e -es, voltou para a sua forma original (infinitivo sem o to).

Part of the plot

Access at: 12 Oct. 2009.
Tom Joad is released from the Oklahoma state penitentiary
where he had served a sentence for killing a man in selfdefense. On his trip home he meets Jim Casy, a preacher.
They travel together to Tom’s home but find it deserted. Muley
Graves, a farmer, discovers Tom and Casy and tells them that
all the families in the neighborhood have left for California or are
leaving. Tom’s folks have gone to a relative’s place to prepare for
the trip.
All over the Southern Midwest, farmers were moving west.
Land banks, bad weather, and machine farming had made
farming unprofitable. Junk dealers and used-car salesmen took
advantage of these families.
Tom and Casy find the Joads at Uncle Tom’s place. The family

includes Pa and Ma Joad; Noah and all their sons; Rose of
Sharon, Tom’s sister, and her husband; Ruthie and Winfield, the
two youngest children; and Grandma and Grandpa Joad. Casy is
invited to follow the family on their trip west.
The trip is arduous, but the promise of agricultural work keeps
the Joads on their path. Grandpa Joad dies of a stroke at the
first stop. Returning migrants tell the Joads there is no work in
California. Grandma dies during a night trip across the desert. After
they bury her, the Joads move
into a migrant camp, Hooverville,
where they discover that work
is almost impossible to find. A

work in another country.
The Joads leave the Hooverville and move to a government camp
for migrant workers. This camp is clean and has a local government made
up of migrant workers. For the first time since arriving in California, the
Joads find themselves treated as human beings. However, when the work
runs out they must move on.
They look for work at another large farm and find agitators attempting
to keep migrants from taking work as a protest against unfair wages. In
desperation they take work picking peaches for five cents a box.
