1ª QUESTÃO
“It is interesting to notice that, differently from Romance39 languages such as Portuguese (fará), Spanish
(hará) or French (fera) the English language does not have a future tense formed by inflection, so it needs a
construction with an auxiliary verb (will do, is going to do)” (KIMINAMI, 2018, p. 111).Kiminami, Aline Yuri.

3ª QUESTÃO
“Two verbs that cause a lot of confusion in Portuguese speakers are “do” and “make”, because they usually
translate the same way, so their use may seem rather random. But that is not the case, in general”.

“A Child was standing on a street-corner. He leaned with one shoulder against a high board-fence and
swayed the other to and fro, the while kicking carelessly at the gravel.

the avenue. Clattering trucks moved with indistinctness through it. The child stood dreamily gazing.

“What a singular moment is the first one, when you have hardly begun to recollect yourself, after starting
from midnight slumber! By unclosing your eyes so suddenly you seem to have surprisedthe personages of
your dream in full convocation round your bed, and catch one broad glance at them before they can flit into
obscurity

bedtime, at eleven, you have had rest enough to take off the pressure of yesterday's fatigue

Taking the excerpt into account, analyze the following statements.
I. The sentence “you have hardly begun to recollect yourself” is an example of a present perfect simple tense,
due to the use of the verb “have” as an auxiliary and “begun” on the participle form.
II. On the sentence “you seem to have surprised the personages”, we have the use of the present perfect
tense, indicating an action that has already happened and we have no information regarding time.
III. The sentence in the present perfect tense “you have had rest enough to take off the pressure of
yesterday's fatigue” is not adequate, because we have the time expression “yesterday”.
IV. On the sentence “Since your sober bedtime, at eleven, you have had rest enough to take off the pressure
of yesterday's fatigue”, we have the use of “since”, one expression we normally use on the present perfect
simple.
