Proverbs

Verbos - 3ª pessoa do singular

Os pronomes na terceira pessoa do singular (he, she, it) possuem uma regra diferente na conjugação do verbo. Acrescenta-se o “S” no final do verbo em frases afirmativas no presente. Veja o exemplo abaixo.

He works / She works/It works

No inglês é muito fácil conjugar verbos, diferente do português, que devemos mudar o verbo de acordo com cada pronome pessoal.

Dica: Somente na TERCEIRA PESSOA do singular você irá colocar o “S” no final do verbo, nos outros pronomes basta apenas conjugá-lo.

Os verbos terminados em -y, precedidos de consoante, perdem o -y e recebem –ies.

Ex: to study - She studies/ he studies

Os verbos terminados em -y, precedidos de vogal, recebem –s.

Ex: to play - She plays/ he plays

Os verbos terminados em s, ss, sh, ch, x, o ou z, recebem –es.

Ex: to kiss - She kisses/he kisses; to reach - She reaches/ he reaches; to finish - She finishes/ he finishes; to fix - She fixes/ he fixes; to do - She does/ he does/; to buzz - it buzzes

Plural dos substantivos

PLURAL OF NOUNS

Iron Maiden

Você sabe qual a origem do nome da banda "Iron Maiden"?

"A Donzela de Ferro"

A história da tortura registra muitos instrumentos em forma de sarcófago antropomorfo com pregos em seu interior, que, ao fechar-se a porta, penetravam no corpo da vítima. O exemplo mais conhecido foi a chamada "donzela de ferro" de Nuremberg, exemplar do final do século XV, reprodução aperfeiçoada de exemplares mais antigos. O aparelho foi destruído quando Nuremberg foi bombardeada, em 1944. A Dama de Ferro era aplicada aos autores de crimes contra o Estado, que não fossem de lesa-majestade, e também nos casos de mulheres adúlteras e de jovens ou viúvas que não mantivessem sua castidade. Era também usada como instrumento de interrogatório, em casos específicos de mulheres suspeitas de bruxaria ou comércio com as forças do Inferno. Nesse caso do interrogatório, era usada especialmente em mulheres, pois julgava-se que estas poderiam suportá-la melhor que outros métodos e por deixar poucas ou nenhuma marca visível, sendo, além disso, praticamente garantida a confissão da acusada.

Piadinha (Joke)

Pessoal, achei que a melhor forma de iniciar as postagens em nosso blog seria fazê-lo com uma piadinha.

Divirtam-se!

"I never married, because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband: I have a dog that growls every morning, a parrot that swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late every night." Marie Corelli

Tradução: Nunca me casei pois não havia necessidade. Tenho três animais de estimação que fazem o mesmo papel de um marido: um cão que rosna toda manhã, um papagaio que xinga a tarde toda e um gato que vem para casa tarde toda noite.
