Interviewer - Hi A função dos “subject pronouns” é o de substituir
Rob - Hello os sujeitos de uma oração. Então, ele ficará no
lugar daquele que pratica a ação.
Interviewer - How are you?
Rob - I’m fine, Thanks. How are you? Dessa forma, eles devem sempre vir acompanha-
dos de um verbo. Ou seja, só podem ser usados se
Interviewer - I’m good, thank you. What’s Your name? estiverem sendo conjugados.
Rob - I’m Tom, my name is Robson, but everyone calls me Rob.
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Interviewer - Are you married?
Rob - Yes, This is my wife. Os pronomes possessivos em inglês são classifica-

Rob - His name is Miguel. pois eles sempre acompanham e modificam o
Interviewer - Do you have any pets? substantivo. Além disso, eles devem sempre vir
antes dos substantivos.
Rob - Sure. These are our dogs.
Interviewer - What are their names? O pronome possessivo adjetivo não muda do
plural ou para o singular, por são pronomes que
Rob - Their names are Pipoca and Manu, não flexionam.
Rob - And this is our cat.
Exemplos em frases:
Interviewer - What’s its name?
1. My mother likes ice cream. (Minha mãe gosta de

2. Your old book is over there. (Seu livro antigo está

Grammar: Object pronouns; reflexive pronouns
OBJECT PRONOUNS
New words + audio:
Conversation:
Os object pronouns são pronomes em inglês que
substituem os nomes (substantivos) que atuam como
objeto do verbo ou preposição em uma oração.
1) CONVERSATION & READING
Os pronomes em inglês dividem-se em pessoais,
possessivos, demonstrativos, reflexivos, indefinidos
relativos e interrogativos, sendo que os object pro-
nouns pertencem à classe dos pronomes pessoais e
podem variar em grau e número como plural, singu-
lar, masculino e feminino.

Existem sete object pronouns na gramática inglesa


que obedecem às regras das pessoas gramaticais.

Student - Not too bad. It could better.
Classmate - Well but tell me, what happened? Exemplo: My brother gave me a tablet at Christmas

Classmate - Hm… but you should try to talk to him about it. • Agora, para identificar os objetos, pergunta-se: meu

frase: a tablet.
Classmate - I think it’s worth trying. • Para localizar o objeto indireto, questiona-se: meu

resposta é “gave me”. Assim, “me” é o objeto indireto

Dear Peter,
How are you? I Hope you are fine. It been a long time since I
last saw you, and that’s why I decided to send this letter to you,
so I tell you about one of my trips to Europe.
I travelled during December last year. First, I went to Paris,
and let me tell you that I had lots of fun, since some of my
friends travelled with me: I had never to Paris before. We Como o próprio nome diz, servem para acrescentar
stayed there for three weeks, but given the fact that we were too informações ao que está sendo falado ou escrito.
tired in the first day of our arrival, we just to get some sleep.
The next day we decided to go up the Eiffel Tower. The expe-
rience of seeing Paris from above was wonderful, so we de-
cided to take a lot of pictures from there. Later, I had one of
those tasty crepes you used to talk a lot about, and finally we
went back to the hotel we were staying at.
During the first week we visited the Louvre museum and The
Arch of Triumph, then we took a boat tour to Sena Lake, we
had a special dinner paired with a glass of champagne, and
lastly we took a train to the south of France, which is actually
very close to Spain.
That week was terrible because I got ill, so I has to stay in bed
for five days: my friends had a great time in that place, though:
they bought souvenirs and went places. While I just watched
the TV in the hotel’s room or read of the travel guides.
I was fully recovered after that week and I proposed to go
to Barcelona and then to Madrid. Finally, my friends and I
decided it was better to stay in Barcelona since there were a
lot of interesting places to visit. I promise to see you in Lon-
don on our next visit. Take care: I hope to hear from you soon
.
John

Passive Voice
Passive voice is used in English when it is more convenient or interesting so stress the
thing done than the doer of it, or when the doer is unknown:

My bag was stolen is much more usual than Thieves stole my bag.

• The passive of an active tense is formed by putting the verb TO BE into the same tense as
the active verb and adding the past participle of the active verb:

Active: He wrote a letter.


Passive: A letter was written.

• In a passive sentence the agent, or doer of the action, is very often not mentioned. When
the agent is mentioned it is preceeded by BY:

Active: My brother has written that poem.


Passive: that poem has has written by my brother
