Verb Tenses (Tempos Verbais em Inglês) Verb tenses (tempos verbais em inglês) Verb tenses (tempos verbais) no idioma inglês são as formas como verbos são flexionados, cumprindo diferentes relações de temporalidade. Verb tenses em inglês indicam acontecimentos, aspectos, ocorrências, ações.Os tempos verbais em inglês (verb tenses) são recursos comunicacionais que usam verbos para indicar aspectos verbais em relação aos tempos: presente, passado, futuro. Temos os aspectos simples (simple), contínuo (continuous) e perfeito (perfect). Podem sinalizar momento de indeterminação com o simples; continuidade, com o contínuo; ou finitude de uma ação, com o perfeito. Em alguns casos, temos estruturas básicas que se mantêm idênticas para todas as pessoas gramaticais; em outros, há variações.

We use THERE IS with singular nouns; we use THERE ARE with plural nouns: There is a book on the desk. There are books on the desks. There is one man in the room. There are several men in the room. THERE IS / THERE ARE (Negative Form) We form negatives with THERE IS and THERE ARE by placing NOT after the verb: There is a book on the desk. There is NOT a book on the desks. The contracted forms ISN’T and AREN’T are generally used: There is an aircraft in the airport. There AREN’T several men in the room. THERE IS / THERE ARE (Question Form) We form questions with THERE IS and THERE ARE by placing the verb before THERE: There is a window in the room. Is there a window in the room?

O tempo verbal simple present é utilizado em língua inglesa para fa- lar de ações cotidianas, hábitos, verdades, fatos, costumes, características. "Devemos utilizar o tempo verbal simple present para descrever ações em ge- ral. Precisamos ter cuidado quando pensamos sobre ações que acontecem no tempo de fala, isto é, como se elas estivessem acontecendo agora, pois as ações em progressão referem-se, na verdade, a outro tempo verbal: o present continuous. Dito isso, podemos nos concentrar no simple present, formado pe- lo verbo principal no infinitivo sem a preposição to, quando falamos de algo que acontece frequentemente. Ao contrário da língua portuguesa, em inglês, os verbos no simple present não são flexionados em todas as pessoas, exceto na terceira pessoa do singular (he/ele, she/ela, it/ele, ela) em frases afirmativas. Outra peculiaridade é o uso dos verbos auxiliares do e does em frases interrogativas e negativas. Nos tópi- cos a seguir, explicaremos o uso desse tempo verbal, abordando a sua estrutu- ra e conjugando alguns verbos. Vamos lá! SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE É o tempo verbal que usamos para falar de ocorrências no presente e é usado nas seguintes situações: a) ações habituais: I always get up at 6 o'clock. Most English people have tea in the morning. b) ações ou estados permanentes: People speak German in Austria. It's always cold in Siberia. c) verdades imutáveis: Water boils at 100 C. The Amazon river flows to the Atlantic. d) ações num futuro planejado: You leave Paris on Monday and arrive in Tokyo on Thursday. Next Sunday? Well, I play tennis in the morning and call on you in the afternoon. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (cont.) SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (cont.) O Simple Present é formado pelo infinitivo do verbo, sem a partícula to. Na terceira pessoa do singular (he, she, it), como regra geral, os verbos recebem ‘s’ ao final: Como formamos? SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE I work You work He works She works It works We work You work They work SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (3rd PERSON) Exceções à regra geral. Se os verbos terminarem em: a) Y precedido de consoante Trocamos o Y por I e acrescentamos ES. ex.: I study - He studies. b) CH, O, S, SH, X ou Z acrescentamos ES. ex.: I reach - He reaches. ex.: I go - He goes. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (3rd PERSON) Exceções à regra geral. Se os verbos terminarem em: a) Y precedido de consoante Trocamos o Y por I e acrescentamos ES. ex.: I study - He studies. b) CH, O, S, SH, X ou Z acrescentamos ES. ex.: I reach - He reaches. ex.: I go - He goes. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (NEGATIVE FORM) A forma negativa do Simple Present é obtida através do auxiliar do (does para a terceira pessoa do singular). Ex.: I do not like wine. They don't speak Russian. She does not intend to go to London today. He doesn't speak English. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (NEGATIVE FORM cont.) I do not know. You do not know. He does not know. She does not know. It does not know. We do not know. You do not know. They do not know. Após o auxiliar ‘DOES NOT’, o verbo principal ficará no infinitivo, uma vez que o auxiliar já fez a flexão (ES ) para a 3ª pessoa do singular. •As formas contractas DON’T and DOESN’T são geralmente usadas. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (QUESTION FORM) Do I know? Do you know? Does he know? Does she know? Does it know? Do we know? Do you know? Do they know? A forma interrogativa do Simple Present é obtida através do auxiliar ‘Do’ colocado antes do sujeito da frase (does para a terceira pessoa do singular): O Simple Past , também chamado de Past Simple (passado simples), é um dos tempos verbais do inglês. Ele é equivalente ao passado simples na língua portuguesa. Quando usar? O Simple Past é usado para indicar ações passadas já concluídas, ou seja, para falar de fatos que já aconteceram; que começaram e terminaram no passado. SIMPLE PAST TENSE Expressões temporais usadas com o Simple Past Para reforçar o uso do Simple Past, muitas expressões temporais são utilizadas nas frases. Os exemplos mais usuais são: yesterday (ontem), the day before yesterday (anteontem), last night (ontem à noite), last year (ano passado), last month (mês passado), last week (semana passada), ago (atrás), etc. SIMPLE PAST TENSE Veja algumas frases no Simple Past com as expressões citadas anteriormente: We did not go to school yesterday. (Nós não fomos para a escola ontem.) His birthday was the day before yesterday. (O aniversário dele foi anteontem.) She studied Math last night. (Ela estudou matemática ontem à noite.) I traveled to Brazil last year. (Eu viajei para o Brasil ano passado.) They visited their uncle last month. (Eles visitaram o tio deles mês passado.) I called you three days ago. (Eu telefonei para você três dias atrás.) SIMPLE PAST TENSE - REGULAR VERBS A forma afirmativa do past tense dos verbos regulares é feita através da inserção do sufixo ED ao final do verbo: I worked You worked He worked She worked It worked We worked You worked They worked REGULAR VERBS Quando um verbo já termina em “e”, acrescenta-se apenas o “d”. Ex: dance >danced Quando um verbo termina em consoante + y, o “y” é substituído por “i” antes da inserção do ED. Ex: study> studied Quando um verbo cuja tonicidade encontra-se na última sílaba termina em consoante+ vogal+ consoante (cvc), dobra-se a última letra. Ex: p l a n> planned c v c Exemplos de exceção: listened, opened, traveled, etc. Para que possamos passar as frases para a forma interrogativa do past tense, inserimos o verbo auxiliar DID antes do sujeito e retiramos o sufixo ED: DID I work? DID you work? DID he work? DID she work? DID it work? DID we work? DID you work? DID they work?SIMPLE PAST TENSE (Question Form) SIMPLE PAST TENSE (Negative Form) Para que possamos passar as frases para a forma negativa do past tense, inserimos a construção DID NOT depois do sujeito e retiramos o sufixo ED: I DID NOT work You DID NOT work He DID NOT work She DID NOT work It DID NOT work We DID NOT work You DID NOT work They DID NOT work A forma contracta DIDN’T também pode ser utilizada em contextos informais. IRREGULAR VERBS (PAST TENSE) The past tense of irregular verbs must be memorized: I ATE You ATE He ATE She ATE It ATE We ATE You ATE They ATE Irregular verbs, like regular verbs, have the same form in all persons. IRREGULAR VERBS (PAST TENSE)(cont.) The past tense of irregular verbs must be memorized: Leave - Left Catch - Caught Take - Took Break - Broke Forget - Forgot Bring - Brought Sing - Sang Ring - Rang Keep - Kept Fight - Fought Understand - Understood Find - Found Become - Became Teach - Taught Send - Sent Make - Made Stand - Stood Buy - Bought Think - Thought Lose - Lost Do - Did Go - Went PAST TENSE (Question Form) We form question in the PAST TENSE by changing the verb to its simple form and placing DID before the subject: DID I go? DID you go? DID he go? DID she go? DID it go? DID we go? DID you go? DID they go? O Simple Future (Futuro Simples), também chamado de Future Simple, é um tempo verbal usado para expressar ações futuras que irão ocorrer, ou seja, que ainda não aconteceram. O Simple Future Tense pode indicar uma decisão que está sendo tomada no ato da fala. Além disso, pode expressar um pedido, uma promessa, um aviso, um convite ou uma oferta. Na formação dos tempos futuros em inglês é comum utilizarmos os verbos modais auxiliares will e shall e a estrutura going to. Simple Future (Futuro Simples) FUTURE with WILL We form the FUTURE with WILL and the simple form of the verb: I WILL go You WILL go He WILL go She WILL go It WILL go We WILL go You WILL go They WILL go NOTE: The contracted forms I’LL, YOU’LL, HE’LL, SHE’LL, IT’LL, WE’LL and THEY’LL are generally used. TO BE (FUTURE with WILL) We form the future of TO BE with WILL BE: I WILL be You WILL be He WILL be She WILL be It WILL be We WILL be You WILL be They WILL be FUTURE with WILL (Negative Form) We form negatives in the future by placing NOT after will: I WILL NOT go You WILL NOT go He WILL NOT go She WILL NOT go It WILL NOT go We WILL NOT go You WILL NOT go They WILL NOT go The contraction of will not is WON’T: We WON’T go before Wednesday. I WON’T be home tonight. FUTURE TENSE (Question Form) We form questions in the future by placing will before the subject: WILL I go? WILL you go? WILL he go? WILL she go? WILL it go? WILL we go? WILL you go? WILL they go? PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE O Present Continuous ou Present Progressive (em português, presente contínuo ou progressivo) é um tempo verbal usado para indicar ações que estão em progresso no presente; no momento da fala. Ele é empregado para falar sobre situações temporárias, ações contínuas que estão acontecendo. Como as frases com Present Continuous referem situações que ocorrem no momento da fala, é comum observarmos a utilização de advérbios de tempo nas frases. Alguns advérbios de tempo comumente utilizados são now (agora), at the moment (no momento) e at present (no presente; atualmente). PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE We form the PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE by placing the appropriate form of TO BE before the PRESENT PARTICIPLE (ing form) of the main verb: I AM WORKING You ARE WORKING He IS WORKING She IS WORKING It IS WORKING We ARE WORKING You ARE WORKING They ARE WORKING The PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE describes an action that is going on at the present moment: He IS TALKING with her now. It IS RAINING. PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE (Cont.) The PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE describes an action which goes on now or at the present moment: He IS TALKING with her now. The telephone IS RINGING. The SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE describes an action that occurs on every day or all the time: He talks with her EVERY DAY. The telephone rings ALL THE TIME. PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE (Negative and Question Forms) We form NEGATIVES with the PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE by placing NOT after TO BE: He is talking with her now. He IS NOT TALKING with her now. We form QUESTIONS with the PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE by placing TO BE before the SUBJECT: They are working. She is studying now. ARE THEY WORKING? IS SHE STUDYING now? PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE We form the PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE with the PAST TENSE OF TO BE and the PRESENT PARTICIPLE of the main verb: I WAS WORKING You WERE WORKING He WAS WORKING She WAS WORKING It WAS WORKING We WERE WORKING You WERE WORKING They WERE WORKING The PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE describes a past action which was going on when another action took place: I was sleeping when you called. They were eating dinner when we arrived. IMPERATIVE FORM We use the IMPERATIVE FORM to express a COMMAND or REQUEST. The subject “YOU” (singular or plural) is understood but not expressed: (You) Come back later. (You) Wait outside. We form the NEGATIVE IMPERATIVE with DO NOT or DON’T before the verb. DO NOT come in. DON’T come in. We use PLEASE at the beginning or end of an imperative sentence to make it more polite: Please, come back later. Wait outside, please. Present Perfect Viu o título do texto e se interessou, não foi? Isso acontece porque o present perfect é um dos tempos verbais que mais geram dúvidas entre os aprendizes de língua inglesa, ou melhor, gerava. O present perfect é, na verdade, simples de usar quando temos em mente que ele tem estreita relação com o passado e o presente. Primeiramente, entende-se que esse tempo verbal tem um sentido indefinido, por causa do uso com ações que terminaram no passado, mas sem indicação temporal de quando elas acabaram. Em segundo lugar, o present perfect também pode ter um sentido estável, isto é, para ações que começaram no passado, mas continuam ou repercutem no presente. PRESENT PERFECT TENSE We form the PRESENT PERFECT TENSE with have (has) and the PAST PARTICIPLE of the main verb: I HAVE WORKED You HAVE WORKED He HAS WORKED She HAS WORKED It HAS WORKED We HAVE WORKED You HAVE WORKED They HAVE WORKED The PRESENT PERFECT TENSE describes an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past: I have read that book. They have moved to Los Angeles The PRESENT PERFECT TENSE also describes an action that was repeated several times in the past: I have read that book several times. They have studied this lesson over and over. PRESENT PERFECT TENSE (cont.) Frases que usam o PRESENT PERFECT TENSE nunca mencionam um tempo exato de ação. Se quisermos mencionar ou simplesmente um tempo exato para uma ação, usamos o SIMPLES PAST TENSE: He HAS GONE to New York. He WENT to New York YESTERDAY. I HAVE CALLED you several times. I CALLED you LAST NIGHT. PRESENT PERFECT TENSE (cont.) Também usamos o present perfect para descrever uma ação que começou no passado e continuou até o presente: He has worked here for two years. (He is still working here.) They have lived here since June. (They are still living here.) Observe a diferença de significado entre as seguintes frases: He has worked here for two years. (He is still working here.) He worked here for two years. (... but he doesn’t work here anymore.) PRESENT PERFECT TENSE (cont.) We form NEGATIVES with the PRESENT PERFECT TENSE by placing NOT after HAVE (HAS): He has NOT gone to New York. She has NOT studied English. We form QUESTIONS with the perfect tenses by placing have (has) before the subject: HAVE I called you? HAS she called you? The contractions HAVEN’T and HASN’T are generally used. 1 - Slide1 2 - Slide2 3 - Slide3 4 - Slide4 5 - Slide5 6 - Slide6 7 - Slide7 8 - Slide8 9 - Slide9 10 - Slide10 11 - Slide11 12 - Slide1213 - Slide13 14 - Slide14 15 - Slide15 16 - Slide16 17 - Slide17 18 - Slide18 19 - Slide19 20 - Slide20 21 - Slide21 22 - Slide22 23 - Slide23 24 - Slide24 25 - Slide25 26 - Slide26 27 - Slide27 28 - Slide28 29 - Slide29 30 - Slide30 31 - Slide31 32 - Slide32 33 - Slide33 34 - Slide34 35 - Slide35 36 - Slide36 37 - Slide37 38 - Slide38 39 - Slide39 40 - Slide40 41 - Slide41 42 - Slide42 43 - Slide43 44 - Slide44 45 - Slide45 46 - Slide46 47 - Slide47 48 - Slide48 49 - Slide49 50 - Slide50
