Apresentação
A coleção Discovering English, em cada volume, visa primordialmente ajudar o aluno 
no desempenho de uma função transdisciplinar no currículo, auxiliando no processo de 
reflexão sobre a realidade social, política e econômica, colaborando para a concepção 
do completo significado da cidadania. Boff complementa Liberali e diz: “O ser humano 
aprende, normalmente, na medida em que convive, relaciona-se e intercambia continua-
mente com os diferentes”.
Vamos projetar o conhecimento já possuído no conhecimento do novo, por isso a lín-
gua materna, ou seja, o nosso idioma português será bastante útil no momento de ensino 
e aprendizagem. Sabendo das dificuldades encontradas na realidade de ensino no Bra-
sil, não seria válido colocar esta barreira, isto é, não usar o português como ferramenta 
auxiliar bastante importante.

da língua é uma necessidade premente para ampliar o conhecimento sobre os fatos que 
acontecem no mundo, formular pesquisas acadêmicas e conhecer pessoas por meio das 
novas tecnologias. O aprendizado de uma segunda língua é, assim, fundamental. Em nos-
sas pesquisas, não recorremos mais às enormes enciclopédias físicas, mas realizamos um 
“google it“, cuja expressão virou o verbo“to google”.

The simple present tense
Em inglês, as orações no simple present apresentam ações que acontecem habitual-
mente, isto é, que são praticadas com frequência.
Observe a desinência verbal nas frases afirmativas com 3ª pessoa do singular.
Exemplo:
Mary works everyday.
He swims on Sundays.
 Verbos terminados em s, sh, ch, x, z, o recebem es.
 Nos demais verbos, acrescentamos apenas s.
No simple present, usamos advérbios de frequência. Vejamos os mais comuns:
always sempre
frequently frequentemente
sometimes às vezes
never nunca
everyday todo dia
Exemplo:
Jill studies every afternoon.
Liz always goes to school by bus.
 Em verbos terminados em y precedidos de consoantes, eliminamos o y e acrescen-
tamos ies.

Living with two different cultures
Linda Chang is a Vietnamese girl, 
but now she lives with her family in 
Seattle, in the United States. There, 
she has to cope with both American 
and Vietnamese cultures.
Linda’s parents are very strict about 
her social life. She is not allowed to go 
out with guys. “It is not that her parents 
don’t trust her”, she says. “They just 
don’t trust the world.”
Linda’s average day starts early. 
She drops her sisters off at school at 
7:45 a.m. and then drives two friends 
to Seattle Central, where she takes 
Chemistry, Speech and Political Science 
courses. Her school day finishes at 
noon. Then, she goes back home. She drives carefully, usually avoiding the freeway and 
taking less crowded streets.
Linda says “it’s not the Vietnamese way to talk much about family issues; dinner table 
conversation is about food, not interpersonal relationships.”
She respects her family a lot. Her friends think it’s weird that if the wants to go out, she 
needs to ask her grandpa and aunts and uncles and parents for approval, adding that 
they seldom give it. Though she complains about these restrictions, she is aware of her 
position in the family: a model for her cousins and sisters.

4. In Brazil, which sport is the most popular?
Football in Brazil
Soccer/Football is the most popular sport in Brazil. The Brazilian national football team 
has won the FIFA World Cup tournament 5 times, in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002. It is 
the only team to succeed in qualifying for every World Cup competition ever held, and to be 
among the favorites to win the trophy every time the competition is scheduled. After Brazil 
won its 3rd World Cup in 1970, they were awarded the Jules Rimet Trophy permanently.
Pelé, one of the most recognized footballers in history. Contemporary talents in the 
national prominent team in the Football World include Neymar in the men’s game, and 
Marta, with 17 goals, who holds the record for most goals scored at Fifa World Cup 
tournaments — she is the first footballer of either gender to score at five World Cup 
editions. Some of these players can be considered superstars, achieving celebrity status 
internationally and signing sports contracts, as well as advertisement and endorsement 
contracts, in the value of millions of euros.
Soccer is taken very seriouslyin Brazil, with anything less than a win considered 
practically worthless and a complete waste of time and effort. During the World Cup 
workers pause from their duties to watch their team in action. Banks shut down 3 hours 
before matches to allow their workers to prepare for the game.

Possessive case
O caso possessivo na língua inglesa é usado para falarmos de algo que pertence a 
alguém.
Usamos a seguinte sequência:
Possuidor + Objeto possuído
Regra geral 
Observe o uso do apóstrofo (’) no final do nome do possuidor, seguido de s.
Exemplo: 
Kim’s book is old.
Para possuidores cujos nomes já terminam em s, acrescentamos o apóstrofo (’) ou (’s).
Exemplo:
Marcos’ house is very big.
James’s car is black.
No caso possessivo para possuidores substantivos terminados em s, acrescentamos 
apenas (’).
Exemplo:
These are the girls’ dolls.
Those are the boys’ bikes.
I. No caso de nomes próprios:
a. Terminados em s, acrescenta-se ’s.
Exemplo: 
Charles’s book.
b. Clássicos, acrescenta-se ’.
Exemplo: 
Archimedes’ law.
II. Os substantivos compostos seguem as mesmas regras dos substantivos comuns.
Exemplo: 
My mother-in-law’s dress.
III. Quando houver mais de dois possuidores:
a. Se a coisa possuída for comum a todos eles, acrescenta-se ’s ao último possuidor.

Exemplo: 
Paul and Mary’s car.
b. Se cada um deles possui a coisa individualmente, acrescenta-se a terminação do 
genitivo de cada um.
Exemplo: 
Paul’s and Mary’s cars.
IV. O caso genitivo é usado também com:
a. Expressões de espaço, tempo ou peso.
Exemplo: 
The boat’s length. 
A month’s Holiday. 
A pound’s weight.
b. Palavras relacionadas a edifícios, lojas, negócio. Nesse caso, o genitivo é usado 
sem a coisa possuída.

Have you noticed how much our teenagers are changing the world with their actions?
Text 2
Teens who are 
changing the world
A Source of inspiration
A 15 year-old finding a better way 
to detect one of the deadliest forms of 
cancer? A young girl challenging the 
distorted perception of beauty in the 
fashion industry? A 19-year-old who 
might help rocket scientists get probes 
to deep space? Meet the young people 
who are putting us to shame, changing 
industries — and ultimately changing 
the world.
Winnie Harlow (born Chantelle Brown-Young; July 27, 1994) is a Canadian 
fashion model and public spokesperson on the skin condition vitiligo. 
She gained prominence as a contestant on the twenty-first cycle of the 
U.S. television series America's Next Top Model due to her condition.

My vacation
My vacation starts in July and finishes at the beginning of August. I spend my vacation 
with my family because they like to travel together: my father, my mother, and my sister. 
I have many friends at school but during the vacation I like to be withmy parents. I feel 
happy in my vacation because I also have more time to play, to sleep more, and to go to 
the cinema with my friends. I like to play my computer games. My parents like to go to 
the beach on vacation and I love the beach. We like to eat barbecue and drink soft drinks. 
Last year we traveled to a famous beach called Jericoacoara, in the state of Ceará. It was 
fantastic and unforgettable.

Evite cometer erros que, em última análise, decorrem de uma confusão provocada por 
nossa própria língua. Trata-se do emprego de seu, sua, seus, suas.
O diretor disse aos alunos que era seu dever manter a escola limpa.
De quem? Do diretor ou dos 
alunos?
Para desfazer a confusão, podemos dizer:
O diretor disse aos alunos que era dever dele (diretor) manter a escola limpa.
ou
O diretor disse aos alunos que era dever deles (alunos) manter a escola limpa.
Vale ressaltar que a diferença de gênero — his, her, its — existe apenas no singular, e 
a concordância se faz com o possuidor. Lembre-se de que, em português, a concordân-
cia se faz com a coisa (pessoa, animal, objeto) possuída.
No plural, their é usado tanto para o masculino como para o feminino.

is on Copacabana beach. Now, I’m writing and having a orange juice. My father 
is at the beach and my brother is swimming at the pool. Next week we will go

happy.
Next week I’ll write again.
Bye.
Paul.

Possessive pronouns

His dele
Her dela
A forma do pronome ou do adjetivo não se altera em função da quantidade do subs-

Essas são as canetas dela.
Verb to be
Como em português, em inglês existem vários tempos verbais. Até agora, vimos o 
simple present. A combinação entre diferentes verbos e advérbios pode indicar sentidos 
diferentes. Alguns verbos exercem também a função de auxiliares na construçãode fra-
ses, mas não aparecem na tradução para o português.
Todos os verbos em inglês são precedidos da preposição to (para) no infinitivo, por 
exemplo to be, to do, to work. O advérbio there em conjunto com o verbo to be equivale 
ao verbo haver em português. 
Exemplos:
There is a candy in my pocket.
Há um doce no meu bolso.
There is a market in that street.
Há um mercado naquela rua.
O simple present tense é 
usado para indicar ações perma-
nentes, habituais, repetidas, no 
presente, verdades universais e 
fatos da natureza. O simple present 
tense tem a mesma forma bási-
ca no infinitivo, sem a partícula 
to, com exceção da 3a pessoa 
do plural (he, she, it), que leva no 
final a letra s.

soa do singular.
Mas quando o y for precedido por consoante, deve ser trocado por ies.

Verbs and nouns
Em inglês, muitas vezes a mesma palavra pode ser usada como verbo e substantivo, 
por exemplo, a palavra watch, que, como substantivo, significa relógio; como verbo, vi-
giar, assistir. É importante estar atento porque muitas vezes a mesma palavra pode ter 
mais de um significado, podendo variar de acordo com a frase.
Plural of nouns
A maioria dos substantivos no plural é formada pela adição do s.
Exemplos:
door doors
book books
church churches
box boxes
Singular Plural
man men
woman women
child children
foot feet
tooth teeth
mouse mice
Quando a palavra termina em s, z, ch, sh e x é só adicionar es.
Mas alguns substantivos são irregulares.
What time is it? 
Existem algumas diferenças ao se dizer as horas em inglês. Toda vez que dizemos as 
horas exatas (sem os minutos) acrescentamos a expressão o’clock.
Exemplo: 
It’s one o’clock in the morning.

Há duas maneiras de dizer as horas e os minutos. Observe:
7:05 It’s five past seven (algo como cinco minutos passados das sete horas).
It’s seven oh five (sete e cinco).
3:15
It’s fifteen past three.
It’s a quarter past three.
It’s three fifteen.
8:20 It’s twenty past eight.
It’s eight twenty.
4:30 It’s half past four.
It’s four thirty.
6:45 It’s a quarter to seven.
It’s six forty-five.
Verb to be
Em inglês, na maioria das vezes, usamos adjetivos para comparar objetos, pessoas, 
etc. Os adjetivos são divididos em 2 grupos:
Exemplos: 
Adjetivos curtos
tall alto
old velho
cheap barato
Adjetivos longos
beautiful bonito
fantastic fantástico
expensive caro
As fórmulas comparativas se dão da seguinte forma:
 Para adjetivos curtos (aqueles com uma sílaba): adjetivo + er + than.
Exemplos:
John is taller than Peter.
João é mais alto que Pedro.
Fusca is cheaper than Ferrari.
Fusca é mais barato que Ferrari.

 Para adjetivos longos (aqueles com duas ou mais sílabas): more + adjetivo + than.
Exemplos:
Susy is more beautiful than Betty.
Susy é mais bonita que Betty.
Ferrari is more expensive than Fusca.
Ferrari é mais cara que Fusca.
Observação
1. Os adjetivos terminados em y seguem uma regra diferente, apesar de terem duas 
sílabas.
Joan is prettier than Claire.
Joana é mais bonita que Clara.
2. Os adjetivos que seguem a ordem consoante + vogal + consoante (ex.: big) têm 
a seguinte forma comparativa:
An elephant is bigger than a mouse.
Um elefante é maior do que um rato.
Exemplos:
Chocolate is better than vegetables.
Chocolate é melhor que legumes.
Tests are worse than vacation time.
Testes são piores que férias.
Segue-se a regra dos adjetivos curtos: dobra-se a última consoante e acrescenta-se er.
Dois adjetivos são exceção:
good better
bad worse
Present continuous tense
O verbo to be usado em conjunto com outros verbos pode indicar que a ação está 
acontecendo no momento em que se fala. Esse tempo verbal é chamado de present 
continuous.

Exemplos:
I’m playing soccer.
Eu estou jogando futebol.
He is working.
Ele está trabalhando.
O present continuous tense é composto por: presente do verbo to be (am, are ou is) + 
particípio presente (terminado em ing) do verbo principal.
hear hearing
write writing
burn burning
eat eating
put putting
stop stopping
get getting
begin beginning
murder murdering
bite biting
give giving
Há algumas regras específicas. Quando o verbo termina em e, exclui-se essa letra e 
acrescenta ing:
A exceção dessa regra é o verbo to be, do qual não se extrai a letra e: being. Os verbos 
to die e to lie formam dying e lying, respectivamente.
Os verbos monossilábicos que terminam com consoante + vogal + consoante devem 
ter sua última consoante duplicada antes de acrescentar a terminação ing.
Os verbos com duas ou mais sílabas que terminam com consoante + vogal + con-
soante só têm a sua última consoante duplicada se a última sílaba for tônica. 
Quando o verbo termina em y basta acrescentar ing.

Plural nouns
Alguns substantivos em inglês são plurais mesmo que não terminem em s, é o caso 
de children (crianças) — para se referir a uma criança só, usa-se child. Portanto, depois de 
children, o verbo deve vir sempre no plural. Outro exemplo é o substantivo people (pessoas) — 
o singular seria person. O substantivo people com s no final, peoples, quer dizer povos. 
Exemplos:
Those people are waiting in line.
Aquelas pessoas estão esperando em fila.
Those children are playing.
Aquelas crianças estão brincando.
Possessive and adjective pronouns
Pronomes pessoais Pronomes possessivos
Retos Oblíquos Adjetivos Possessivos
I me my mine
you you your yours
he him his his
she her her hers
it it its its
we us our ours
you you your yours
they they their theirs
Os pronomes possessivos substituem os substantivos. Os adjetivos possessivos qualifi-
cam esses substantivos. A forma do pronome ou do adjetivo possessivo não varia de acordo 
com o gênero ou quantidade da coisa possuída, e sim com o gênero do possessor.
Exemplos:
They boy lost his dog.
O garoto perdeu o seu (dele) cachorro.
The girl lost her jacket.
A garota perdeu a sua (dela) jaqueta.
DIscoverin_English_6A_07.indd 110 08/08/2019 16:10:59
111One hundred eleven
Algumas formas como of mine e of his são comuns na língua inglesa, mas é preciso 
ficar atento para a diferença de significado ao utilizá-las.
Exemplos:
There were some letters of mine on the table.
Havia algumas cartas minhas sobre a mesa.
There were some of my letters on the table.
Havia algumas das minhas cartas sobre a mesa.
Possessive case
O possessivo é usado para indicar a noção de posse de algo ou qualidade para o su-
jeito. Basta acrescentar ’s (apóstrofo + s) aos substantivos singulares e plurais que não 
terminem com a letra s.
Exemplos:
The girl’s shoes.
Os sapatos da menina.
The boy’s clothes.
As roupas do menino.
Quando o caso possessivo é usado em substantivos plurais acrescenta-se apenas oapóstrofo, sem a letra s.
Exemplos:
The teachers’ books.
Os livros dos professores.
James’ nickname.
(O) apelido de James.
Em inglês, não se usa o artigo definido ou indefinido antes de nomes próprios.
Quando o possessor é uma pessoa ou animal acrescenta-se ’s. Mas quando o pos-
sessor é um objeto ou ser inanimado, o possessivo é formado com a preposição of (de, 
do, da/s) + artigo.
Exemplos:
The foot of the table.
O pé da mesa (o possessor é inanimado).
The key of the box.
A chave da caixa (o possessor é inanimado).
The woman’s hat.
O chapéu da mulher (o possessor é animado).

112 One hundred twelve
He worked yesterday.
Ele trabalhou ontem.
She stayed at her house last week.
Ela ficou na casa dela semana passada.
Simple past tense: regular and irregular verbs
O simple past tense equivale ao pretérito perfeito e imperfeito em português. Corres-
ponde a uma ação que começou e terminou no passado. O passado dos verbos regula-
res é formado pelo sufixo ed. A formação vale para todas as pessoas.
To work (trabalhar) worked
To love (amar) loved
Try (tentar) tried
Study (estudar) studied
To live (viver) lived
Stop stopped
Pretérito regular
 Se o verbo termina em e, acrescenta-se apenas um d.
 Terminados em y precedido por consoante, troca-se o y por i e acrescenta-se ed.
 Quando verbo é monossilábico e suas letras formam a sequência C-V-C (consoan-
te-vogal-consoante), dobra-se a última letra e acrescenta-se ed.
Pretérito irregular
Quando o verbo é irregular, não há regras específicas, portanto, é interessante o mé-
todo de treinar e memorizar o passado desses verbos. Veja a seguir alguns dos verbos 
mais utilizados.
Go Went
Know Knew
Lose Lost
Run Ran
Send Sent
Think Thought
Win Won
Write Wrote
DIscoverin_English_6A_07.indd 112 08/08/2019 16:10:59
113One hundred thirteen
A forma interrogativa dos verbos é a 
mesma para as formas regulares e irregu-
lares. Basta acrescentar did (passado do 
verbo auxiliar do) no começo da frase e o 
verbo principal na forma infinitiva sem o to.
Exemplos:
Did you study last week?
Você estudou semana passada?
Did he work yesterday?
Ele trabalhou ontem?
Did she write the letter?
Ela escreveu a carta?
A forma negativa é feita com o uso de 
did + not (ou didn’t) antes do verbo regular 
ou irregular.
Exemplos:
I didn’t study last night.
Eu não estudei noite passada.
She didn’t call me.
Ela não me ligou.
