O nome completo de uma pessoa, ou full name inclui seu primeiro nome, ou
first name, o(s) nome (s) do meio, ou middle name(s) e seu sobrenome, ou
last name. Observe os exemplos:
FIRST NAME MIDDLE NAME(S) LAST NAME

Há várias maneiras de pedir a alguém que soletre seu nome ou sobrenome.

Observe os exemplos:

• How do you spell your last name?

• How do you spell your first name?
• How do you spell Parker?
• How do you spell that?

Quando entregamos algo a alguém em inglês, podemos fazê-lo utilizando várias

expressões. Observe os exemplos:

• Here you are.

• Here it is.
• Here is your name tag.

6
Da mesma forma, podemos agradecer em inglês de diversas maneiras:

• Thank you.
• Thanks.
• Thank you very much.
• Thanks a lot.

E para responder ao agradecimento, podemos usar as seguintes expressões:

• You’re welcome.
• Don’t mention it.

Obs: You’re é a contração de You are.

Para perguntarmos e respondermos sobre nomes em inglês, podemos fazê-lo

de várias formas, algumas das quais já vimos na unidade anterior. Observe os
exemplos:

• What’s your name? • My name’s Jason.

• It’s Jason.
• Jason.

• What’s your last name? • My last name is Martinez.

• It’s Martinez.
• Martinez.

Obs: It’s é a contração de It is.

 Lesson 3
Greeting people formally

Mike: Good morning, Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown: Good morning, Mike.
Mike: How are you today?
Mr. Brown: Fine, thanks. And you?
Mike: Fine.

Ms. Parker: Good afternoon, Mr.

Wilson.
Mr. Wilson: Good afternoon, Ms.
Parker.
Ms. Parker: Please call me Alice.
Mr. Wilson: All right, Alice.

 Attendant: Good evening, Mrs.
Williams.
Mrs. Williams: Good evening.
Attendant: Here is your key.
Mrs. Williams: Thank you.
Attendant: You’re welcome.

Em situações formais, não usamos o primeiro nome de uma pessoa para

cumprimentá-la mas sim seu sobrenome precedido de Mr./Mrs. ou Ms.

• Mr.
• Mrs.
• Ms.

Mr + sobrenome usado para homens, independentemente de seu estado

civil.
Mrs. + sobrenome usado para mulheres casadas
Ms. + sobrenome usado para todas as mulheres, independentemente de
seu estado civil.

Observe os exemplos:

• Mr. Brown
• Mrs. Parker
• Ms. Thompson

Podemos utilizar várias expressões para cumprimentar pessoas formalmente. A

escolha de uma ou de outra dependerá da hora do dia: manhã, tarde ou noite.
Observe os exemplos:

9
• Good morning, Mr. Brown.
• Good afternoon, Mrs. Parker.
• Good evening, Ms. Thompson.

Para nos despedirmos formalmente, usamos normalmente a expressão Goodbye.

Agora preste bastante atenção: Há duas expressões em inglês que significam
“boa noite”: Good evening e Good night, mas elas são usadas em situações
diferentes.

Usamos Good evening para cumprimentar pessoas a noite, por exemplo, ao

chegar em uma festa ou um jantar.

Usamos Good night para nos despedirmos a noite, por exemplo, quando
estivermos indo embora da mesma festa ou jantar.
