Simple Past

Simple Past

Quando conhecemos o Simple Past, boa parte das nossas angústias quanto aos auxiliares acaba, já que não há diferença na conjugação em nenhum dos sujeitos (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they). Tudo fica tão igual, que até fica chato, não é?
NÃO!!!




No Simple Past, precisamos atentar para a forma do verbo no passado. 
A maioria dos verbos são chamados de Regular Verbs, que recebem apenas um -d (quando o verbo termina em e) ou -ed adicional à forma no Simple Present.
Isso acontece, por exemplo, com need (needed), want (wanted), like (liked). Porém, temos que notar o seguinte:

1. Os verbos terminados em "e" recebem apenas a letra "-d" ao infinitivo do verbo. Veja alguns exemplos abaixo:
hope - hoped
change - changed
like - liked
behave - behaved
lie - lied
live - lived
love - loved
arrive - arrived
invite - invited
snor- snored
Recebendo -ed:
2. Se o verbo tiver uma única sílaba ou terminar em sílaba tônica formada por consoante/vogal/consoante, dobra-se a última consoante e acrescenta-se
stop - stopped
permit - permitted
occur - occurred
rob - robbed
admit - admitted
prefer - preferred
omit - omitted
control - controlled
drop - dropped
plan - planned
shop - shopped
 3. Os verbos terminados em y precedido de consoante trocam o y por -ied:
study - studied
carr- carried
worr- worried
try - tried
hurry - hurried
cry - cried
4. Os verbos terminados em consoante/vogal/consoante cuja sílaba tônica não é a última não dobram a consoante, apenas recebem -ed:
listen - listened
develop - developed
open - opened
fasten - fastened
suffer - suffered
visit - visited
wonder - wondered
offer - offered


Porém, existem os Irregular Verbs, que são totalmente distintos das regras acima. Cheque o link para conhecê-los.

Mas, para alegria geral, quando colocarmos as frases no passado simples, é apenas com a frase afirmativa que tomamos cuidado quanto aos verbos.
Quando a transformamos para Negativas ou Interrogativas, são os Auxiliares que dão a condição de passado.

Exemplos:

Presente: I go to the bank. (Eu vou ao banco)
Passado: I went to the bank (Eu fui ao banco)

Interrogativa no Presente: Do you go to the bank? (Você vai ao banco?)
Interrogativa no Passado: Did you go to the bank? (Você foi ao banco?)

Negativa no Presente: He doesn't go to the bank. (Ele não vai ao banco)
Negativa no Passado: He didn't go to the bank. (Ele não foi ao banco)

Como percebem, no Simple Past, mudamos "do" e "does" para "did" nas interrogativas e "don't" e "doesn't" para "didn't" nas negativas.

The Bangles Eternal Flame lyrics

Music!!!


Uma das melhores maneiras de aprender inglês é de uma forma que gostamos.

E música, mesmo que só de vez em quando, todo mundo gosta.

Qualquer música de sua preferência funciona, mas sugiro que comece com ritmos mais lentos e se ainda assim for difícil, procure músicas com poucas palavras.


Tente o seguinte passo-a-passo para aprender com música:



1) Ouça a música toda por duas vezes, apenas ouvindo e lendo a letra.

2) Reescreva a música à mão, tela por tela do vídeo, deixando uma linha em branco entre uma e outra escrita.

3) À medida que vai copiando a letra, sublinhe as palavras novas.

4) Ouça a música novamente, cantando junto.

5) Ouça cada tela da música, pause e cante em seguida, observando a sua pronúncia.

6) Cante tela por tela, pause e toque a música em seguida, para comparar as pronúncias. (inverso ao ponto 5)

7) Repita os passos 4, 5 e 6.

8) Reescreva as palavras novas noutro lugar (caderno, laptop, tablet, etc), busque seus significados e faça pequenas frases possíveis em português, que você possa usar no seu dia-a-dia.

9) Pratique essas frases, alterando-as com regularidade, incorporando novos vocábulos.

CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD


AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2011-11-27, 1:43 am. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled
the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives.  You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings.  I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when
I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat
 Marine in Afghanistan. She had just bought me that Kimber
Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it
was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. (That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again).
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of
what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That
made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the
windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning
President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution
is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path
you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours,Semper fi,
Alex

A Guy Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess... “Will you marry me?”

The Princess said “NO!”

And the Prince lived happily ever after; and rode motorcycles;
and went fishing and hunting; and played golf;
and dated women half his age; and drank beer and scotch;
and drank milk right from the container; and he never
again asked for directions when traveling;
and had tons of money in the bank; and left the toilet seat up
and farted whenever he wanted.

The End

Valentine's Day

Poisintão...Assim que é!

De repente, olho no calendário e vejo que é 14/02, Valentine's Day...ou, dia dos namorados, nos EUA.

Rapidamente, a origem do feriado é devida à Lupercalia, uma festa romana que se realizava todo dia 14/02.
A festa homenageava Juno, deusa romana das mulheres e do casamento e Pã, deus da Natureza...

Acontece que, diferentemente do costume brasileiro do Dia dos Namorados (12 de junho), no Valentine's Day celebra-se também a amizade, sendo então que entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, sem conotação romântica, haja troca de cartões e presentes. É portanto também, Dia do Amigo.

Mas como a ocasião é sobre Namorados, leiam abaixo alguns dos costumes nesse dia.
Lembrem-se de destacar novos vocabulários e incrementar seu dia-a-dia.



Below, what Americans do on this holiday! Enjoy it!


Valentine's Day in United States
Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14. It is a festival of romantic love and many people give cards, letters, flowers or presents to their spouse or partner. They may also arrange a romantic meal in a restaurant or night in a hotel. Common symbols of Valentine's Day are hearts, red roses and Cupid.

What do people do?
Many people celebrate their love for their partner by sending cards or letters, giving gifts or flowers and arranging meals in restaurants or romantic nights in hotels. People who would like to have a romantic relationship with somebody may use the occasion to make this known, often anonymously. Valentine's cards are often decorated with images of hearts, red roses or Cupid. Common Valentine's Day gifts are flowers chocolates, candy, lingerie and champagne or sparkling wine. However, some people use the occasion to present lavish gifts, such as jewelry. Many restaurants and hotels have special offers at this time. These can include romantic meals or weekend breaks.
Public life
Valentine's Day is not a public holiday. Government offices, stores, schools and other organizations are open as usual. Public transit systems run on their regular schedule. Restaurants may be busier than usual as many people go out for an evening with their spouse or partner. Valentine's Day is also a very popular date for weddings.
Background
There are a number of Saints called Valentine who are honored on February 14. The day became associated with romantic love in the Middle Ages in England. This may have followed on from the Pagan fertility festivals that were held all over Europe as the winter came to an end. Traditionally, lovers exchanged hand written notes. Commercial cards became available in the mid nineteenth century.

Symbols




The most common Valentine's Day symbols are the heart, particularly in reds and pinks, and pictures or models of Cupid. Cupid is usually portrayed as a small winged figure with a bow and arrow. In mythology, he uses his arrow to strike the hearts of people. People who have fallen in love are sometimes said to be 'struck by Cupid's arrow. Other symbols of Valentine's Day are couples in loving embraces and the gifts of flowers, chocolate, red roses and lingerie that couples often give each other.
