Letter to a Friend
Hi, Fred!
It’s been a while since we have been in touch. How has your semester been?
I wanted to send you an e-mail update to you let you know how things have been going during
my semester abroad here in Málaga, Spain. I’ve already been here for six weeks, and I feel like
I am finally adapting to the culture. I’m also speaking the language more fluently.
I arrived during the first week of September. The weather has been very nice. Even though it’s
October, it _________ still rather sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the beach and swam in
the Mediterranean Sea earlier today.
I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom, but we eat
breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. On Sundays, we eat a big home-cooked paella for lunch.
In Spain, lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day. It’s also very common for the people to
take a midday nap right after a big meal. I am actually just waking up from my nap right now!
On weekdays, I take classes at the local university. There, I met several native Spanish speakers.
They have been very kind and patient with me. At first, I struggled to comprehend their Spanish,
but now I understand most of our conversations. They have commented that my Spanish has
improved a lot since we first met. Now, I _________ more confident to use the language in
other places like stores and restaurants.
I am so glad that I decided to spend the semester here in Spain. We have an extended weekend
coming up, so a group of my friends and I are going to travel to France for four days. It’s so
easy and inexpensive to travel internationally in Europe. I love it!
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Like I said, don’t hesitate to stay in touch more often.
Perhaps you could even come to visit! What do you think?
Best wishes,
Patrick.

Judge the following item, according to the text:

The sentences “My favorite courses are Geometry, French and History”, “English is my hardest
course” and “It’s my second year in college now” are in the Simple Present Tense.
Solução
O item está certo, pois em todas as orações se percebe o verbo “to be” como verbo
principal conjugado no Simple Present (“My favorite courses are Geometry, French and
History”; “English is my hardest course”; “It’s my second year in college now”).
GABARITO: CERTO.
3. (AUTOR – 2021)
In the sentence “Diane and I are together again”, “are” should be replaced by “am”.
Solução
O item está errado, pois o sujeito da oração é “Diane and I”, que poderia ser substituído
por “We”, primeira pessoa do plural. Deste modo, “are” foi corretamente empregado,
não cabendo a troca por “am”, forma conjugada do verbo “to be” no Simple Present que
concorda apenas com a primeira pessoa do singular.
GABARITO: ERRADO.
4. (AUTOR – 2021)
The sentence “I am not the best tennis player in this club” is in the Simple Present Tense.
Solução
A oração mencionada é negativa e está no Simple Present Tense, percebendo-se que o
verbo “to be” está conjugado no presente, de modo a concordar com o sujeito “I”, pri-
meira pessoa do singular.
GABARITO: CERTO.
10
5. (AERONÁUTICA - 2016 - EEAR - SARGENTO DA AERONÁUTICA/AERONAVEGANTES E

NÃO AERONAVEGANTES/TURMA 1 – ADAPTADA)
“are” correctly completes the blank in the text.

Solução
“Robert and I” são o sujeito da oração que possui a lacuna no texto. Esse sujeito pode
ser substituído por “We” (primeira pessoa do plural), uma vez que um de seus núcleos
é o pronome “I”, primeira pessoa do singular. Portanto, “are” preenche corretamente a
lacuna no texto.
GABARITO: CERTO.
6. (AUTOR – 2021)
Na oração “The stadium is full of people”, o verbo “to be” foi conjugado corretamente.
Solução
Na oração em questão, o verbo “to be” está conjugado no Simple Present, concordando
com o sujeito “The stadium”, substituível pelo pronome “It”. Assim, o verbo foi conjugado
de forma correta (“is”), concordando com a terceira pessoa do singular.
GABARITO: CERTO.
7. (AUTOR – 2021)
(Taken from https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2009/09/17)

Judge the following item, according to the cartoon above:

The sentence “Are all dentists this unromantic?” is NOT in the Simple Present Tense.
Solução
O item está errado, porque a referida oração está no Simple Present. É uma oração in-
terrogativa, onde se verifica que o verbo “to be” é o verbo principal e está conjugado no
presente (“are”), aparecendo à frente do sujeito (“all dentists”, que configura a terceira
pessoa do plural).
GABARITO: ERRADO.
8. (AUTOR – 2021)
The negative form of the sentence “Michael and Emilio are enemies” is “Michael and Emilio
don’t be enemies”.
Solução
No Simple Present, quando o verbo “to be” é o verbo principal, na sua versão negativa é
colocado “not” após sua forma conjugada. Assim, percebe-se que o item está incorreto,
pois a forma negativa da oração “Michael and Emilio are enemies” é “Michael and Emilio
are not enemies” (ou “Michael and Emilio aren’t enemies”, forma contraída).
GABARITO: ERRADO.
9. (AUTOR – 2021)
Na oração “They are proud of their daughter Janet”, o verbo “to be” foi corretamente conju-
gado, por concordar com “They”.
Solução
A questão está correta, pois o sujeito da oração é “They”, pronome na terceira pessoa
do plural, sendo certo que a conjugação do verbo “to be” quando usado para concordar
com essa pessoa é “are”, empregado corretamente na oração.
GABARITO: CERTO.
10. (AUTOR – 2021)

The negative form of the sentence “There are two bottles of water in the fridge” is “There
doesn’t are two bottles of water in the fridge”.
Solução
12
A informação trazida pela questão está incorreta. A forma negativa da oração mencio-
nada é “There aren’t two bottles of water in the fridge”, ou “There are not two bottles
of water in the fridge”.
GABARITO: ERRADO.
11. (FUNCAB - 2014 - SEE/AC - PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA INGLESA – ADAPTADA)

a) is / is / is.
b) are / are / is.
c) are / are / are.
d) is / are / is.
e) are / is / are. Solução
O verbo “to be” em cada exemplo dado na questão deve ser conjugado de modo que
concorde com o sujeito que o pratica. Logo, “are” será utilizado para preencher todas as
lacunas, para concordar com “you” (segunda pessoa do singular, no caso), “old learners”
e “people” (ambos termos no plural, que configuram a terceira pessoa do plural).
GABARITO: C.

a) Does disease and malnutrition are closely linked?
b) Are disease and malnutrition closely linked?
c) Did disease and malnutrition are closely linked?
d) Will disease and malnutrition are closely linked?
e) Don’t disease and malnutrition are closely linked?
Solução
A resposta correta é a alternativa B, na qual o verbo “to be” conjugado no Simple Present
(“are”) de acordo com o sujeito (“Disease and malnutrition”), foi corretamente passado
para o início da oração, para formar corretamente a forma interrogativa “Are disease and
malnutrition closely linked?”.
GABARITO: B.
13. (AUTOR – 2021)

I – Mom and dad _______ sad because of me.
II – I _______ not certain about this.
a) is / is.
b) is / am.
c) are / is.
d) are / are.
e) are / am.
Solução
Na primeira oração, o sujeito é “Mom and dad”, substituível por “they”, terceira pessoa
do plural, devendo ser utilizado “are” para preencher sua lacuna; na segunda oração, o
sujeito é “I”, primeira pessoa do singular, devendo sua lacuna ser preenchida com “am”.
GABARITO: E.
14. (MARINHA - 2015 - ESCOLA NAVAL - ASPIRANTE/2° DIA)

Which question word best completes the paragraph below?
The National Gallery in London is among a growing number of venues that have banned selfie
sticks. ________ is so wrong with walking around a gallery taking pictures of yourself ? The
gallery says it needs to protect artworks and other visitors. But some users can’t see what the
fuss is about.
(Adapted from http://www.bbc.com)
a) Which.
b) Why.
c) What.
d) When.
e) Who.

errado em andar em uma galeria tirando fotos de si mesmo?”, não cabendo o uso das
demais palavras nas outras alternativas.
GABARITO: C.
15. (AUTOR – 2021)

II – Libby and I _______ not ready yet.
14
a) is / are.
b) is / is.
c) is / am.
d) are / are.
e) are / am.
Solução
Na oração I, a lacuna deve ser preenchida com “is”, por concordar com “Chad”, nome
próprio masculino, substituível por “he”, terceira pessoa do singular; na oração II, “are”
completa corretamente a lacuna, pois o sujeito “Libby and I” pode ser substituído por
“we”, primeira pessoa do plural.
GABARITO: A.
16. (AUTOR – 2021)
(Taken and adapted from http://www.hagardunor.net/comicstrips_us.php?serietype=9&colortype=1&serieno=488)
Which alternative best completes the blank in the comic strip above?
a) What.
b) Who.
c) When.
d) Why.
Solução
“What” preenche corretamente a lacuna na tirinha, formando a oração interrogativa
“What is the secret of a perfect marriage?” (“Qual é o segredo de um casamento perfei-
to?”). “Who” (quem), “When” (quando) ou “Why” (por que), nas demais alternativas,
não dariam um sentido coerente à oração.
GABARITO: A.
17. (CESPE - 2013 - SEDUC/CE - PROFESSOR PLENO I/LÍNGUA INGLESA – ADAPTADA)

the verbal form “was” should be replaced by:
a) am.
b) are.
c) has.
d) were.
e) is.
Solução
A conjugação do verbo “to be” no Simple Present e na terceira pessoa do singular (“she”)
é “is”. Assim, é formada a oração “she is the luckiest woman alive”, ao se passar a oração
do enunciado, que está no Simple Past, para o Simple Present.
GABARITO: E.

b) Does Jesse be a smart guy? / Jesse isn’t a smart guy.
c) Does Jesse be a smart guy? / Jesse doesn’t be a smart guy.
d) Is Jesse a smart guy? / Jesse isn’t a smart guy.
e) Is Jesse a smart guy? / Jesse doesn’t be a smart guy.
Solução
Na forma interrogativa, o verbo “to be” conjugado no Simple Present é passado para o
início da oração, antes do sujeito, formando-se “Is Jesse a smart guy?”; na forma negativa,
é colocado “not” após o verbo “to be” conjugado no Simple Present, como ocorreu no
caso, de modo contraído (“isn’t”), obtendo-se “Jesse isn’t a smart guy”.
GABARITO: D.
19. (MARINHA - 2018 - ESCOLA NAVAL - ASPIRANTE - 2ª DIA – ADAPTADA)

Peter: ______ isn’t Mary here?
Jane: She is ill.
a) When.

Solução
Dentre as alternativas, somente “Why” pode completar o diálogo de forma coerente:

“When” (quando), “Where” (onde), “Who” (quem) e “Which” (qual) não dariam qualquer
sentido à oração, ao contrário de “Why”.

The underlined verbs, in the text, are in the Simple Present Tense.
Solução
A questão está certa. Os verbos sublinhados no texto estão no Simple Present Tense.
A presença da letra “s” em sua parte final evidencia isto, pois mostra que ambos estão
conjugados na terceira pessoa do singular, nesta forma verbal.
GABARITO: CERTO.
2. (ALFACON – 2021)
Na oração “My brother work every day”, o verbo (“work”) foi conjugado incorretamente, sendo
“works” a forma correta.
8
Solução
De fato, o verbo foi conjugado incorretamente, pois “My brother” corresponde à terceira
pessoa do singular (sendo substituível por “He”), sendo certo que “works” é a forma
conjugada correta do verbo em questão para concordar com tal pessoa.
GABARITO: CERTO.

LIDADES I E II/TURMA 1) (ADAPTADA)

A lacuna no texto deve ser preenchida com o verbo “to recommend”; diante do sujeito apre-
sentado, “recommends” é conjugação correta do referido verbo.
Solução
O verbo deve concordar com o sujeito “The study”, que pode ser substituído pelo prono-
me “it” (terceira pessoa do singular neutra). Portanto, “recommends” completa a lacuna
corretamente, concordando com “The study”.
GABARITO: CERTO.

In order to fully understand the context of a megacity, we must understand the role of the

What tensions are caused by multiple language communities in urban space? What role ________
(2) language play in the power structures (government or otherwise) of megacities?
(Adapted from Military Review - Jan/Feb 2016)

“Does” and “does” respectively complete gaps (1) and (2) in the text.
Solução
O item está errado, porque na primeira lacuna deve ser usado o auxiliar “do” para o ver-
bo principal “interact”, por se tratar de uma oração interrogativa, e pelo fato do sujeito
ser “language communities” (plural); quanto à segunda lacuna, sua oração também é
interrogativa, ou seja, o verbo principal “play” necessita de um auxiliar, que, no caso,
será de fato “does”, pelo fato do sujeito ser “language”, que poderia ser substituído por
“it” (terceira pessoa do singular).
GABARITO: ERRADO.

Consider the sentence below and judge the following item:
“Our classes begin at nine.”
The verb is in the Simple Present Tense.
Solução
O item está correto, pois o verbo está conjugado no Simple Present, de modo que con-

GABARITO: CERTO.
6. (ALFACON – 2021)
The interrogative form of the sentence “Maria has a cat” is “Does Maria has a cat?”.
Solução
Na forma interrogativa, o auxiliar aparece no início e é conjugado (“Does”), concordando
com o sujeito (“Maria”), devendo o verbo principal ficar em sua forma simples (“have”)
e vir após o sujeito: “Does Maria have a cat?”. Portanto, o item está errado, pois o verbo
principal “have” permaneceu conjugado (“has”) de modo a concordar com o sujeito, de
modo incorreto.
GABARITO: ERRADO.

LIDADES I E II/TURMA 2) (ADAPTADA)
“Has” correctly completes the first blank in the text.

Solução
O item está errado, pois o verbo deve concordar com o sujeito da oração em questão,
“Other fruits and vegetables”, que configura a terceira pessoa do plural. “Have” (opção C)
preenche corretamente a primeira lacuna do texto, não “has”, como informa a questão.
GABARITO: ERRADO.

“He is good at football but he ___________ want to play now.”
“doesn’t” correctly completes the blank in the sentence.
Solução
A questão traz informação correta, pois para se formar uma oração negativa no Simple
Present, deve-se incluir o verbo auxiliar “do”, que será conjugado no presente e deverá
sempre concordar com o sujeito da oração (“he”, obtendo-se “does”), e “not” antes do
verbo principal, que fica em sua forma não conjugada. Portanto, “doesn’t” (forma con-
traída de “does not”) completa corretamente a lacuna, formando “he doesn’t want to
play now”.
GABARITO: CERTO.

Introducing the perfect chemistry between a green technology and a blue world
There is a formula for a healthy new world. That’s why Braskem invested millions in research
to become the first company in the world to use Brazilian sugar cane as a natural plastic source,
collaborating with the reduction of the GHG emissions. Its commitment to a sustainable develop-
ment resulted in a benchmark eco-efficient process that estimulates the markets in which Braskem
operates and generates new opportunities.
The world dreamed. Braskem made it happen.
(Newsweek/Issues 2012, Special Edition, cover. Adaptado)
The sentence “Braskem operates and generates new opportunities” is in the Simple Present
Tense.
Solução
A oração em questão está no Simple Present, como se pode perceber pelos verbos “opera-
te” e “generate” conjugados no presente, concordando com a terceira pessoa do singular
(“operates”, “generates”).
GABARITO: CERTO.
10. (ALFACON – 2021)

The negative form of the sentence “Jack likes your idea” is “Jack doesn’t likes your idea”.
Solução
Na forma negativa de uma oração no Simple Present, é necessária a inclusão do verbo
auxiliar “do”, que será conjugado no presente e deverá sempre concordar com o sujei-
to da oração, e “not” antes do verbo principal, que fica em sua forma não conjugada.
Como o sujeito é “Jack”, substituível por “He”, terceira pessoa do singular, o auxiliar será
conjugado de modo a concordar com ele, isto é, “does”, obtendo-se, com o acréscimo
de “not” e do verbo principal não conjugado, “Jack doesn’t like your idea” (“doesn’t”:
forma contraída de “does not”).
O item está errado, pois nele foi informado que a forma negativa de “Jack likes your
Idea” é “Jack doesn’t likes your Idea”, onde o verbo principal (“like”) foi incorretamente
conjugado na terceira pessoa do singular.
GABARITO: ERRADO.
11. (ALFACON – 2021)

Which alternative correctly completes the sentences below, respectively?
I. ____________ you trust him?
II. Eugene ____________ want to go to your party.
III. Does / don’t.
IV. Does / doesn’t.
V. Do / don’t.
VI. Do / doesn’t. Solução
A primeira oração é interrogativa, com o verbo auxiliar vindo à frente e concordando
com o sujeito, que, na referida oração, é “you”. Logo, “Do” preenche a primeira lacuna
corretamente.
Já a segunda oração é negativa, devendo o verbo auxiliar concordar com o sujeito “Eu-
gene”, que pode ser substituído por “He”, terceira pessoa do plural. Assim, “doesn’t”
completa a segunda lacuna corretamente.
GABARITO: D.

Complete the sentence:
_______________________ dinner at 7 o’clock?
a) Do he always has.
b) Does he always have.
c) Does he always has.
d) Is he always have.
Solução
Nas frases interrogativas, usa-se o auxiliar conjugado na frente do sujeito, com o verbo
principal não conjugado usado após. Assim, “does” deve ser usado, para concordar com
“he”, permanecendo o verbo principal em sua forma simples (“have”): “Does he always
have dinner at 7 o’clock?”.
GABARITO: B.

I. Older learners _______ want to learn Spanish. They want to learn English.
II. The programme _______ change every week.
III. How often _______ you have business English classes?
The correct auxiliaries that complete the sentences above are:
a) do / do / do.
b) does / does / does.
c) don’t / doesn’t / do.
d) don’t / don’t / do.
e) doesn’t / doesn’t / does.
Solução
No primeiro item, percebe-se que a primeira oração é negativa, pelo que é dito na segunda
oração (“aprendizes mais velhos não querem aprender espanhol. Eles querem aprender
inglês”). Portanto, deve ser usado “don’t” para concordar com “older learners”.
No segundo item, o auxiliar deve concordar com “The programme”, que poderia ser
substituído por “it” (terceira pessoa do singular), sendo “doesn’t” o correto e apropriado.
No terceiro item, trata-se de uma oração interrogativa, logo, “do” é o auxiliar correto
para completar a lacuna, para concordar com “you”.
GABARITO: C.

Use the verbs in parentheses to complete the following statements.
I. I usually ___________ (listen) to music in the evenings, but at the moment I am watching

II. Janeth ___________ (love) films. Sometimes, she ___________ (prefer) to go to the
theater with her friends.
III. Mr. Steven ___________ (live) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. During the week, his parents
___________ (work) as lawyers for a big company downtown.
Now mark the option which completes them, respectively:
a) listens / love / prefers / live / work.
b) listen / love / prefer / lives / work.
c) listen / loves / prefer / live / works.
d) listen / loves / prefers / lives / works.
e) listen / loves / prefers / lives / work.
Solução
A questão requer o preenchimento das lacunas com verbos conjugados no Simple Present.
No item I, a lacuna deve ser preenchida com “listen”, para concordar com o sujeito “I”;
no item II, ambas as lacunas devem ser preenchidas com verbos conjugados na terceira
pessoa do singular (“loves” e “prefers”), pois se referem a “Janeth” e a “she”, respecti-

vamente; já no item III, as lacunas devem ser preenchidas com “lives” e “work”, porque
“lives” se refere a “Mr. Steven” (terceira pessoa do singular) e “work” se refere a “his
parents”, que poderia ser substituído por “they” (terceira pessoa do plural).

The sentence “She drives her car every day”, in negative form, is:
a) She has not driving her car every day.
b) She doesn’t drives her car every day.
c) She does not drive her car every day.
d) She didn’t drived her car every day.
Solução
auxiliar “do”, que será conjugado no presente e deverá sempre concordar com o sujeito
da oração, e “not” antes do verbo principal, que fica em sua forma não conjugada. Assim,
sendo o sujeito “She”, terceira pessoa do singular, o auxiliar será conjugado de modo a
concordar com ele, isto é, “does”; com o acréscimo de “not” e do verbo principal não
conjugado, temos “does not drive”. Portanto, a opção C é a correta.
GABARITO: C.

c) don’t / doesn’t.
d) doesn’t / doesn’t.
Solução
Com a leitura do período em questão, depreende-se que as orações com as lacunas são
negativas; logo, deverão ser usados “don’t” e “doesn’t” para preenchê-las. Na primeira,
“don’t” deverá ser utilizado por concordar com o sujeito “you”, enquanto na segunda,
“doesn’t” concordará com “it”, terceira pessoa do singular.

Read the following sentences:
I. Molly goes to the beach on Sundays.
II. Does he studies here?
III. Hank and Walt likes barbecues.
Which ones are correct?
a) I, II.
b) I, III.
Solução
Somente a oração I está correta, como dispõe a alternativa A. A mesma é afirmativa e
está no Simple Present, com o verbo conjugado corretamente, concordando com o sujeito
Molly (substituível por “She”, terceira pessoa do singular).
A oração II está errada, pois nas orações interrogativas no Simple Present, somente o
auxiliar “do” concorda com o sujeito. A forma correta seria “Does he study here?”.
A oração III está errada, pois o verbo está incorretamente conjugado na terceira pessoa
do singular, quando deveria concordar com o sujeito “Hank and Walt”, substituível por
“They”, terceira pessoa do plural. O modo correto seria “Hank and Walt like barbecues”.
GABARITO: A.

The correct negative form of the sentence “Travis goes to the bar on Saturday nights” is:
a) Travis no goes to the bar on Saturday nights.
b) Travis don’t go to the bar on Saturday nights.
c) Travis don’t goes to the bar on Saturday nights.
d) Travis doesn’t goes to the bar on Saturday nights.
e) Travis doesn’t go to the bar on Saturday nights.
Solução
auxiliar “do”, que será conjugado no presente e deverá sempre concordar com o sujeito
da oração, e “not” antes do verbo principal, que fica em sua forma não conjugada. No
exemplo da questão, como o sujeito é “Travis”, nome próprio masculino, substituível por
“He”, terceira pessoa do singular, o auxiliar será conjugado de modo a concordar com tal
sujeito, ou seja, “does”; com o acréscimo de “not” e do verbo principal não conjugado,
temos “does not work” ou “doesn’t work” (verbo auxiliar em sua forma contraída com
“not”).
Portanto, a alternativa correta é a E: “Travis doesn’t go to the bar on Saturday nights”.
GABARITO: E.

Solução
Primeiramente, deverá ser usado “how many” no início da pergunta, pois “levels” é uma
palavra contável (“How many levels...”); após, deve ser utilizado o auxiliar “does”, como
exige a forma interrogativa, para concordar com “this course” (“...does this course...”),
com o verbo principal em sua forma simples na parte final (“...have?”).
Portanto, a alternativa correta é a A: “How many levels does this course have?”.
GABARITO: A.

In terms of verb tense, the sentences “Remote workers are already common” and “The wor-
kforce is changing massively” are, respectively, in the Present Continuous and in the Simple
Present.
Solução
O item está errado, porque a primeira oração está no Simple Present e a segunda ora-
ção está no Present Continuous. Na primeira oração, o verbo “to be” está conjugado no
presente, funcionando como verbo principal, configurando o Simple Present; na segun-
da oração, o verbo “to be” também está conjugado no presente, mas há outro verbo
terminado em “ing” (“changing”) agindo como verbo principal, o que demonstra que tal
oração está no Present Continuous.

“At the moment”, no fim da oração, demonstra que a ação está em andamento, devendo

“Dolly _________________ a biscuit right now.”
Na oração acima, deve ser usado o verbo “to eat”. O tempo verbal mais adequado é o Simple

Solução
A informação que a questão traz está errada, pois “right now”, na parte final da oração,
indica que a ação está em andamento, ou seja, deve ser utilizado o Present Continuous,
não o Simple Present. Assim, utilizando-se o verbo “to eat” no Present Continuous, temos
“Dolly is eating a biscuit right now”.

As lacunas na tirinha devem ser preenchidas com os verbos “to drop” e “to take”, conjugados
no Present Continuous; portanto, “dropping” preenche a primeira lacuna e “taking” preenche
a segunda.
Solução
O item está incorreto, pois o Present Continuous exige o verbo “to be” conjugado no
presente, concordando com o sujeito da oração, além do verbo principal acrescido da
terminação “ing”. Desta forma, “am dropping” (concordando com o sujeito “I”) e “is
taking” (concordando com o sujeito “Percy Higgins”) completam as lacunas, respecti-
vamente, para que as orações sejam conjugadas corretamente no Present Continuous,
com os verbos em questão.
GABARITO: ERRADO.
11. (AGIRH - 2019 - PREFEITURA DE LAVRINHAS/SP - PROFESSOR PEB II/INGLÊS)

For the question, fill in the blank with the correct alternative:
I think your phone is ___________.
a) ringing.
b) rings.
c) rang.
d) ring. Solução
Depreende-se com a leitura da oração que a mesma está no Present Continuous, pela
presença do verbo “to be” conjugado na terceira pessoa do singular, no presente, e pelo
fato da lacuna precisar ser preenchida com um verbo principal, o que mostra que a ação
está em andamento. Assim, o verbo “ring” deve vir acrescido de “ing” (“ringing”), para
que seja aplicado corretamente o Present Continuous.
GABARITO: A.

Use the verbs in parentheses to complete the following statement:
I usually ______________ (listen) to music in the evenings, but at the moment I ______________
(watch) my favorite program on TV.
a) am listening / am watching.
b) am listening / watch.
c) listen / am watching.
d) listen / watch.
Solução
A primeira lacuna deve ser preenchida com “listen” (Simple Present), devido à presença
de “usually”, que demonstra que se trata de uma ação frequente; na segunda lacuna,
deve ser usado o Present Continuous (“am watching”), porque “at the moment” configura
algo que está ocorrendo, que está em andamento.
GABARITO: C.

The words “is making”, underlined in the text, form a verb in the ___________________:
a) simple past.
b) future tense.
c) simple present.
d) present continuous.
Solução
O Present Continuous é caracterizado pela presença do verbo “to be” conjugado no
presente com um verbo principal terminado em “ing”, como é o caso de “is making” na
primeira linha do texto, caso em que se percebe este formato.
GABARITO: D.
14. (CONSESP - 2018 - PREFEITURA DE SANTA FÉ DO SUL/SP - PROFESSOR DE EDUCA-

ÇÃO BÁSICA II/INGLÊS)
Find the alternative that shows a Present Continuous tense:
a) Neil’s been talking about it all day!
b) Dan’s calling you.
c) Charles named his new pet Malik.
d) Jack adds sure to every single drink he gets.
Solução
A única alternativa que contém uma oração no Present Continuous é a B (“Dan’s calling
you.”), onde se pode perceber a presença do verbo “to be” conjugado no presente, na
terceira pessoa do singular, em sua forma contraída (“ ‘s”), com o verbo principal acres-
cido de “ing” (“calling”).
GABARITO: B.
15. (FUNCAB - 2014 - SEE/AC - PROFESSOR DE LÍNGUA INGLESA) (ADAPTADA)

I – Laura WALKS around the airport and looks at the shops.
II – She IS WAITING for her flight now.
The verbs in these sentences are in the following tenses, respectively:
12

c) Present Continuous / Simple Present.
d) Present Continuous / Present Continuous.
Solução
No item I, o verbo em destaque está no Simple Present, o que se verifica pelo fato do
verbo estar conjugado no presente, na terceira pessoa do singular (“walks”); no item II,
percebe-se a presença do verbo “to be” conjugado no presente, na terceira pessoa do
singular (“is”), e de um verbo principal terminado em “ing” (“is waiting”), o que configu-
ra o Present Continuous, mostrando uma ação que está ocorrendo no momento, como
reforça “now” no fim da oração.
GABARITO: B.
16. (FAU - 2019 - IF/PR – PROFESSOR/LETRAS INGLÊS) (ADAPTADA)

Analyze the current sentences and choose the option that describes their verb tense:
I. I – I am reading an excellent book.
II. II – My husband works every day.
a) Present perfect continuous – Simple present.
b) Present perfect – Simple Present.
c) Present continuous – Simple Present.
d) Simple Present – Present Continuous.
e) Present continuous – Present perfect.
Solução
A oração I está no Present Continuous, caracterizado pelo verbo “to be” conjugado no
presente (“am”), com um verbo principal acrescido de “ing” (“reading”); a oração II está
no Simple Present, já que se percebe que o verbo “work” está conjugado no presente,
na terceira pessoa do singular (“works”).
GABARITO: C.
17. (UFAC - 2010 - UFAC – VESTIBULAR/PROVA 1)

Choose the alternative that best completes the sentence:
Charles normally _____________ water, but now he _____________ coke.
a) drinks; is drinking.
b) is drinking; drinks.
c) was drinking; drinks.
d) drink; is drinking.
e) drinks; was drinking.
Solução
A primeira lacuna deverá ser preenchida com o verbo no Simple Present, uma vez que
se fala de uma ação frequente, o que pode ser percebido pelo uso de “normally”. Assim,
“drinks” completa a lacuna corretamente, concordando com “Charles”, que pode ser
substituído por “he”, terceira pessoa do singular.
Na oração da segunda lacuna, “now” mostra que a ação está ocorrendo no momento,
devendo ser utilizado o Present Continuous em seu preenchimento, ou seja, “is drinking”.
GABARITO: A.
18. (CETRO - 2015 - MDS - ATIVIDADES TÉCNICAS ESPECIALIZADA DE COMPLEXIDADE

GERENCIAL/NÍVEL V) (ADAPTADA)
Choose the alternative that presents the present continuous form of the sentence below:
“Deforestation by human hands accelerates the erosion of land which could be used for gro-
wing food.”
a) Deforestation by human hands accelerated the erosion of land which could be used
for growing food.
b) Deforestation by human hands didn’t accelerate the erosion of land which could be
c) Deforestation by human hands is accelerating the erosion of land which could be
d) Deforestation by human hands has accelerated the erosion of land which could be
e) Deforestation by human hands was accelerated the erosion of land which could be
Solução
A oração no enunciado está no Simple Present (“accelerates” – verbo conjugado no pre-
sente, concordando com a terceira pessoa do singular), e para passá-la para o Present
Continuous, deve-se usar o verbo “to be” conjugado no presente, com o verbo principal
acrescido de “ing”. Logo, “accelerates” será trocado por “is accelerating”, onde se verifica
que “is” concorda com “Deforestation” e o “e” final do verbo “accelerate” será suprimido,
para a inclusão de “ing”.
GABARITO: C.
19. (MARINHA - 2019 - COLÉGIO NAVAL – ALUNO/1° DIA) (ADAPTADA)

he ___________________ (have) problems with his car.
a) is leaving / has.
b) is leaving / is having.
c) leaves / has.
d) leaves / is having.
Solução
Na primeira lacuna, o verbo deve ser colocado em sua conjugação no Simple Present,
por se tratar de uma ação frequente, evidenciada pelo uso de “usually”. Logo, “leaves”
a preenche, concordando com “Mark”.
Na segunda lacuna, “today” mostra que a ação está em andamento e ocorrendo hoje,
devendo ser utilizado o Present Continuous (“is having”).
GABARITO: D.
