PRONOUNS
P������� P������� P��������� A��������� ��� P������� R�������� 
P�������������� 
���� ������ ����
���������� 
���������
���������� 
�������
I me my mine myself
you you your yours yourself
he him his his himself
she her her hers herself
it it its its itself
we us our ours ourselves
you you your yours yourselves
they them their theirs themselves
SUBJECT PRONOUNS:
I – 1ª pessoa do singular: Eu. De acordo com a norma culta, 
sempre deve ser escrito em letra maiúscula.
You – 2ª pessoa do singular: Tu ou Você
He – 3ª pessoa do singular: Ele – só pode ser usado para quan-
do for possível determinar o sexo masculino.
She – 3ª pessoa do singular: Ela – só pode ser usado para 
quando for possível determinar o sexo feminino.
It – 3ª pessoa do singular: É usado para quando não podemos 
determinar o sexo do elemento ao qual nos referimos.
We – 1ª pessoa do plural: Nós
You – 2ª pessoa do plural: Vós ou Vocês
They – 3ª pessoa do pluar: Eles ou Elas – Equivale ao plural de 
“He”, “She” ou “It”.
Some Examples:
He is a teacher and so am I.
John, are you listening to me? (You = singular)
Are you guys paying attention? (You = plural)
"We are the champions..."
They are friends!
She’s carrying a baby. It’s three months old.
Somebody knocks on the door. You ask: “Who is it?”
I’ve got a dog. He’s six years old.
Sujeito Impessoal:
Em inglês, NÃO HÁ oração sem sujeito. O sujeito, portanto, é 
obrigatório.
Veja:
Em português, dizemos: “Está chovendo!” Como bem o sabe-
mos, todo fenômeno da natureza constitui uma oração sem 
sujeito em nosso idioma. Contudo tal situação não é possível 
em inglês. Em inglês dizemos:
It is raining!
Vejam o “It” é, pois, o sujeito da oração. Ele não terá tradução 
para o português!
OBJECT PRONOUNS:
ME
YOU
HIM
HER
IT
US
YOU
THEM
Os “Object Pronouns” equivalem aos nossos pronomes pes-
soais do caso oblíquo.Eles, geralmente, aparecem após os ver-
bos e após as preposições.
Take a look!
Are you talking to ME? (to = preposition)
Do you love HER? (love = verb)
P.S.: É importante observar que alguns pronomes têm a mes-
ma grafi a para o sujeito e o objeto. São eles:
YOU YOU
IT IT
YOU YOU
Para sabermos sua morfologia, devemos atentar à posição. 
Observe:
I love you. (O sujeito é “I”; logo “you” é o objeto)
Do you love me? (“You”, agora, está mandando no verbo é, 
portanto, sujeito)
CAPÍTULO 2 – PRONOUNSINGLÊS
7
P.p.s.: A língua inglesa costuma apresentar a seguinte estru-
tura:
SVO ( Sujeito + Verbo + Objeto).
Diante disso, a contrário do português, não é costume termi-
nar a frase só com o verbo. O objeto se faz necessário. Compa-
re os dois idiomas:
A: Você gosta de chocolate?
B: Sim, eu gosto.
Se fi zéssemos algo parecido em inglês, os falantes estranha-
riam. Observe a estrutura do inglês.
A: Do you like chocolate?
B: Yes, I like chocolate. / Yes, I like it.
NÃO SE ESQUEÇA DE USAR O OBJETO APÓS O VERBO!!!
POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
Posição: sempre antecedem um substantivo. Logo, o Bizu será:
POSSE + SUBSTANTIVO.
Bizu: Os “Possessive Adjective” SEMPRE virão acompanhados 
de um substantivo, pois, equivalem aos nossos “Pronomes Ad-
jetivos”.
Ex: I have a dog. My dog is beautiful and big.
Bizu 2: “Your” refere-se à pessoa com quem se fala.
Bizu 3: “His”, “Her” ou “Its” referem-se à pessoa de quem se fala.
Ex:
• Have you brought your racket, Monica?
• Monica and her brother have been here for fi fteen 
minutes.
IDIOMS:
ON + Possessive Adjective + OWN = ALONE
I live on my own. = I live alone.
She studies on her own. = She studies alone.
ATTENTION!!
a) se o possuidor for INDEFINIDO, o seu respectivo possessivo 
será “his or her” ou “their”.
Example:
Everybody
Someone
Nobody wants his or her own happiness.
(etc)
a) se o possuidor for o pronome “ONE”, o correspondente será 
“ONE’S”.
Example:
One must respect one’s own religion.
(possuidor)
“Cada um deve respeitar SUA própria religião”
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS: SUBSTITUEM um substantivo já 
citado.
Exemplo:
His family is poor but hers is rich.
 (a dela)
“a dela” o quê ??!! família. A palavra já foi citada antes. SEMPRE 
VAI SER ASSIM. SEMPRE haverá uma palavra que já foi repetida 
antes e o pronome fará a vez dessa palavra para evitar o pleo-
nasmo.
O Bizu sempre será:
POSSE + SUBSTANTIVO ,
Exemplo:
Helen went to her house and I went to mine. (my house)
Observar no exemplo acima que, depois do “mine”, não vem 
substantivo. Logo, não pode ser MY, tem que ser MINE. Ou seja, 
não pode ser um adjetivo possessivo, tem que ser um PRO-
NOME POSSESSIVO.
REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS:
Usages:
01 – Sujeito sofre e pratica a ação (equivale à voz refl exiva 
do português):
She cut herself yesterday.
I’m dancing with myself.
02 – Pronome enfático:
I made the pie myself.
The Mayor himself talked to the students.
03 – IDIOM:
BY + REFLEXIVE PRONOUN = ALONE
All by myself = All on my own = All alone.
I live by myself. = I live on my own. = I live alone.
CAPÍTULO 2 – PRONOUNS INGLÊS
8
RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS:
Os pronomes refl exivos, como vimos, são usados quando o 
sujeito sofre e pratica a ação ao mesmo tempo. Veja, então, a 
frase abaixo:
They love themselves. Ao pé da letra, poderíamos traduzir como 
“Eles se amam”. No entanto, a ideia que se passa é a seguinte:
Imaginemos que esse “They” equivalha a “John” e “Mary”, por-
tanto, a ideia é a seguinte:
John loves himself e Mary loves herself.
Para darmos, pois, a ideia de que há uma recíproca entre eles 
como faríamos? É simples! Veja abaixo:
They love each other. (John loves Mary and Mary loves John).
Caso tivéssemos a partir de três pessoas, trocaríamos o each 
other por one another. Contextualizando: Em uma família de 
quatro pessoas, por exemplo, na qual todos se amem, pode-
ríamos dizer o seguinte:
They love one another.

A celebrity crusade
 The actress Kim Basinger has launched a crusade to

trailer. She belonged to the King World Circus. As a conse-
quence, two circus handlers were charged with cruelty to ani-

surviving elephants to a local zoo park.

 In China the government rigidly enforces a draconian 
formula: one couple, one child. After the birth of an imperfect 
baby – be it clubfooted, mentally handicapped or a girl in-
stead of the longed-for healthy male heir – some Chinese fami-
lies have chosen to forsake the infant in order to try again. De-
clared stillborn as a legal ruse, many of these unwanted infants 
are then left in alleyways, railroad stations and bus terminals. 
If found alive, they become wards of the country’s state-run 
orphanages. A Hong Kong source estimates that one million 
babies are abandoned each year. 
(Taken from Coleção Objetivo – Livro 35)

 I am an American man living in France, but I spend 
a lot of time in the USA visiting family and friends. These are 
the questions Americans ask me most often: “Are the French 
rude? Is it true that they hate Americans?” The answer is a sim-
ple ‘No’. In my opinion, the French are among the __________ 
and __________ people in Europe. Maybe it’s because I speak 
French with a funny American accent and they see that I have 
made the eff ort to learn the language. When people ask me if I 
prefer living in France or the USA, I simply tell the truth. I don’t 
prefer. I consider myself very lucky to be able to experience 
both cultures. I really love the diff erences.

 The fl ight
 Flight 9525, an Airbus A320, took off at 10:01 a.m. on

144 passengers and six crew members on board.

 Transponder data shows that the autopilot was re-
programmed by someone inside the cockpit to change the 
plane’s altitude from 38,000 feet to 100 feet, according to 
Flightradar24, a website that tracks aviation data.
 The aircraft crashed in a remote area near Digneles-

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;

Rest if you must, but do not quit.

It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fi ght when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.

When love was wilder than the wind

SUGESTÃO PARA TRADUÇÃO!
“We’re The World (USA For Africa)”
There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can’t go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We all are a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who can make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they’ll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall
Well...well...well
Let’s realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus]

Air traffi c controller: orchestrating aerial and ground

An airfi eld in a war zone is like an orchestra of aerial

Iraq, located next to Baghdad International Airport.
It’s one of Iraq’s busiest airfi elds. An average of 320
transient aircraft and 6,200 passengers _____ through
the base each week. Needless to say, there’s a lot of
activity. Airmen work on aircraft, loading them with
munitions or fi lling their fuel tanks. Of course, there’s
always the threat of terrorist attacks. The potential for
accidents is high. Conducting the symphony, are air
traffi c controllers like Sgt. Carter. One wrong direction
could result in people dying or the loss of millions of
dollars worth of equipment. “It’s a complex job,” he
said. “We must make sure aircraft make it to the fi eld
so the mission can be performed.” “To do the job well
requires great communication skills”, he said.
“Initially, I was challenged by the language barrier,”
he said. “But I soon learned to be more patient. And I
was able to fi gure out what was being said, so we
could complete our mission.”
One major diff erence for controllers in a war zone is
that they have to deal with things they don’t normally
deal with at their home bases. At Sather, the challenge
was the helicopter traffi c, Carter said. “Helicopters
were swarming everywhere in that country,” he said.
Soon after arriving at the base, the sergeant had to
educate himself about how to control helicopters.
Carter admits feeling nervous when he fi rst found out
he was deploying to Iraq because of the media
attention on terrorist attacks. But, to his surprise, his
tour has been relatively calm. Carter said his Sather
tour has been extremely rewarding, despite his earlier
misgivings.

Haiti, a country under eternal reconstruction
 It seems that nature has not been kind to Haiti. 
The earthquake on January 12th aggravated the chaos and 
poverty in the country. According to the United Nations, up 
to January 23rd the offi cial number of dead was 111,000 and 
200,000 had been injured. It has been
 estimated, however, that the fi nal death toll could 
be 200,000. Thousands of houses have been destroyed or 
damaged, and hundreds of thousands of people have been 
left homeless. Before being hit by the earthquake the country 
was struck by a hurricane in 2008. However, nature cannot be 
held chiefl y responsible for
 the Haitians’ suff ering. In this country of nine 
million souls, over half are living below the level of extreme 
poverty, earning just a dollar a day. It is the poorest country 
in the Americas. The country is very, very underprivileged – 
there is a lack of schools, jobs, hospitals, transport, security, 
infrastructure, basic
 sanitation, and – mainly – political stability. In political 
terms Haiti has always been in confl ict. From the second half 
of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, 16 
Heads of State were overthrown or assassinated.

SUGESTÕES PARA TRADUÇÃO:
ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE – Phil Collins
She calls out to the man on the street
“sir, can you help me?
It’s cold and I’ve nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me?
He walks on, doesn’t look back
He pretends he can’t hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrased to be there
[CHORUS]
Oh, think twice
Cuz it’s another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
Cuz it’s another day for you
You and me in paradise
Think about it
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she’s been crying
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can’t walk but she’s trying
[CHORUS]
Oh, think twice
Cuz it’s another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
Cuz it’s another day for you
You and me in paradise
Oh, lord, is there nothing more anybody can do?
Oh, lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she´s been there
Probably been moved on from every place
‘cause she didn’t fi t in there
[CHORUS]
Oh, think twice
Cuz it’s another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
Cuz it’s another day for you
You and me in paradise
It’s just another day
For you and me in paradise
