John: That sounds great. What about parks? Are there many places to see nature in your town?

Sarah: Yes. We have a lot of rivers, and lakes and hills. My hometown has four seasons. So in summer, it's great because there are lots of lakes to swim in, lots of forests to play in. In winter, there is a lot of snow. So you can go ice skating or ice fishing or even skiing.

Sarah: Yeah. It is. It's a great place to have a family. There's lots of good schools and libraries.

Sarah: So John, where are you from?

Sarah: Wow. There aren't very many people.

John: No, it's very small. There aren't very many businesses. There isn't a shopping mall. There are a lot of grocery stores. And there are a lot of gas stations. But there isn't much to do there.

But during the daytime, you can go to the park. There's a river that goes through the town. So in the middle of town, there's a river. And there's a park that goes along both sides of the river. And at the park, there is a tennis court and a disc golf course.

Sarah: Disc golf?

John: Yeah. I like to play disc golf with my friends. It's really fun. And after we finish playing disc golf, we usually go to the pizza restaurant.

Sarah: Oh, I see. How about schools? Are there very many schools?

John: Let's see. No, there aren't very many. There is only one elementary school, one junior high school and one high school. That's it.

Sarah: Interesting.

John: Yeah. There aren't very many schools but the town doesn't need more schools because there aren't very many people there.

Sarah: I see. Are there any mountains?

John: No. The whole area is very flat. There are no mountains but there are a lot of trees. In fact, there are trees on my town's sign because my town is famous for all the trees on every street.

Possessive adjectives and subject pronouns (I/my, you/your, etc.)

Exercise 1

Choose the correct subject pronouns or possessive adjectives to complete the sentences.

Possessive adjectives and subject pronouns

Form

Use

I + verb - my + noun

We use subject pronouns + verb and we use possessive adjectives + noun.

Possessive adjectives are always singular

Adjectives in English have no plural form. Possessive adjectives are always singular.

These are their suitcases. (NOT theirs suitcases)

it/its for things and they/their for people and things

We use he-his and she-her for people, and we use it-its for things. But in the plural, we use they-their for people and things.

The hotel has its own spa. It is a relaxing place.

it's for time and weather

We use it's (=it is) to talk about the time or the weather.

it's or its?

Its = possessive adjective. It's = it is (subject + verb be)

My working day starts very early. From Monday to Friday I get up at half past three and I have a shower and a cup of coffee. I usually leave the house at ten past four because the car always arrives a few minutes early. I get to the studio at about five o'clock and start work. My programme Good Morning Britain starts at seven o'clock and finishes at nine o'clock. Then I leave the studio at a quarter past ten. After that, I go shopping and visit some friends. I get home at three o'clock. A woman helps me with the housework and the ironing. I read a newspaper and do some work.

Then my husband gets home at half past five in the evening and I cook dinner. We stay at home in the evening. We don't go out because I go to bed very early. We usually watch television and then I go to bed at half past eight, I'm usually asleep by nine o'clock.

In January 1990, I was at primary school and in January 2000, I was at university! I left primary school in September 1990 and went to a secondary school five kilometres from my house. I got the bus every day at 7.30am and didn't get home until 5 o'clock in the evening. What a difficult life!

My family bought a satellite TV in 1991 and a new video the next year. In 1994, my brother bought a computer and I got a bicycle the next year.

I left my school in 1997 but decided not to go to university like most people: instead, I went walking in France alone for four months and then drove around America for three months with my brother. For the first six months of 1998, I got a job in a health food shop and then went to university in October 1998 in Wales.

Winter Vacation

Akane and Howard talk about their winter vacations.

Akane's Vacation

Last year, I went to Portugal just after Christmas. And I stayed there until... well, just after New Year's this year. In Portugal, I met up with one of my friends from Toronto. He had family that lived in Portugal, because his family was originally from Portugal.

So, they were kind enough to let me stay with them. I didn't know any Portuguese, except for some simple words like "hello", and "thank you". I learned some simple words through an audio CD, before I went there. And the people that I stayed with didn't know very much English either. However, we got along surprisingly well.

They were surprised that I was able to eat some of their exotic foods. They made some delicious meals every single day, like octopus, tripe and rabbit. It is quite exotic, but I thought it was quite good. They also made some excellent desserts, like crème caramel, and a rich sponge cake that they call Paon d'lo.

Howard's Vacation

OK, now I'll talk about my winter vacation. This winter vacation I spent two weeks in my hometown which is Daytona Beach, Florida. It was wonderful. The weather was warm every day. It was sunny every day and the temperature was almost 80 degrees.

I visited my mother and I spent every morning having a nice leisurely cup of coffee and reading the newspaper and after that I got my bicycle out and and rode down to the beach and enjoyed the sun and the surf, and came back home and read a book and went to bed early.

I had a wonderful time. I saw a couple of new movies, when I was home in Florida. I saw The Aviator and also an interesting movie called Spanglish, which I hope you all can see because it's an interesting movie about English and the Spanish.

Martha is at the grocery store, getting ready for a house party. She has a list of what she needs with her as she goes along. The first section she comes has produce. Martha sees apples, bananas, cherries, grapes, and strawberries. She checks her list:

- 6 apples
- 1 bag of cherries
- 1 bag of grapes
- 2 cartons of strawberries

Martha gets her items and looks the bananas. They are on sale for much cheaper than they are normally. She picks 3 bananas. Next are vegetables. She sees potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and salad in bags. She checks her list:

- 5 pounds of potatoes
- 6 carrots
- 4 tomatoes
- 2 onions
- 4 mushrooms

As she is putting her items into her cart, Martha checks the many bags of salad and chooses 2 of them. She pushes her cart ahead. The next section is meat and dairy. She sees meat, fish, cheese, eggs, and milk. She checks her list:

- 2 fish (salmon)
- 1 block of cheese (cheddar)
- 1 dozen eggs
- 2 gallons of milk

She looks at the meat that is on sale and chooses a 5-pound roll of hamburger. She gets the rest of the items in that section. She still needs rice, bread, salt, sugar, and flour. She gets:

- 2 bags of rice
- 4 loaves of bread
- a 2-pound bag of sugar
- a 2-pound bag of flour

Martha then realizes that she has forgotten something. She runs back and gets 1 container of salt and then rushes to the checkout. She puts her groceries into her car and leaves.

Exemplos:

You should tell it to your mother. (Você deveria contar isso para sua mãe.)

You ought to tell it to your boss. (Você deveria contar isso para o seu chefe.)

Gramática (Grammar)

Os verbos modais diferem dos outros verbos em diversos pontos. Vejamos abaixo as principais características dos modal verbs:

São utilizados sem o to

Diferentemente da maioria dos verbos que, em sua forma original, são escritos com o to (exemplos: to go, to dance, to study), os verbos modais são sempre utilizados sem o " to ".

Não existe infinitivo para os verbos modais, nem particípio, nem gerúndio.
Exemplos:

He may arrive tomorrow. (Ele deve chegar amanhã.)

She would like to travel. (Ela gostaria de viajar.)

Exceção: o verbo modal " ought to" é o único que é acompanhado pelo "to". No entanto, o "to" vem depois do verbo.

Na forma interrogativa, o "to" é colocado após o sujeito: ought + sujeito + to + verbo principal + complemento.

Já nas frases negativas, o "not" é colocado entre o verbo e o "to": " ought not to".

No entanto, não é muito comum fazer perguntas com o " ought to", visto que ele é muito formal. Nesse caso, utiliza-se mais o " should".
Exemplos:

Ought she to go? (Ela deveria ir?) - menos comum

Should she go? (Ela deveria ir?) - mais comum

Não são flexionados

Apesar de alguns verbos modais indicarem o tempo em que uma ação ocorre (como, por exemplo, will - que indica futuro - e could - que pode indicar passado), os verbos modais não são flexionados.

Exemplo:

Nas negativas, usa-se o not depois do verbo modal.

Nas frases negativas ( negative forms) acrescenta-se o not após o verbo modal e não após o verbo principal.

Exemplos:

We could not go to the show. (Nós não pudemos ir ao show.)

I should not buy the flower for my mom. (Eu não deveria comprar a flor para a minha mãe.)

You would not eat here. (Você não comeria aqui.)

I may not sit here. (Eu não devo me sentar aqui.)

She might not come next year. (Ela pode não vir no próximo ano.)

You must not eat this meal. (Você não deve comer esta refeição.)

I shall not begin this course. (Eu não devo começar este curso.)

Our friends will not be at home. (Nossos amigos não estarão em casa.)

We ought not to call the police. (Nós não devemos chamar a polícia.)

Na forma negativa, os verbos modais podem aparecer na forma contraída:

Can: cannot - can't

Could: could not - couldn't

Should: should not - shouldn't

Would: would not - wouldn't

May: may not - não tem forma contraída

Might: might not - mightn't

Must: must not - mustn't

Shall: shall not - shan't (em desuso)

Will: will not - won't

Ought to: ought not - oughtn't

Nas interrogativas, o verbo modal precede o sujeito.

Nas frases interrogativas ( interrogative form) é o verbo modal que aparece antes do sujeito, e não o verbo principal.

Exemplos:

Can I eat hamburguers? (Eu posso comer hambúrgueres?)

Could we go to the show? (Nós podemos ir ao show?)

Should I buy the flower for my mom? (Eu deveria comprar a flor para minha mãe?)

Would you like to eat here? (Você gostaria de comer aqui?)

May I sit here? (Posso sentar aqui?)

Might she come next year? (Ela pode vir no próximo ano?)

Must you eat this meal? (Você deve comer esta refeição?)

Shall I begin this course? (Eu devo começar este curso?)

Will our friends be at home? (Nossos amigos estarão em casa?)

Ought we to call the police? (Nós devemos chamar a polícia?)

Podem ser acompanhados por be

Os verbos modais podem ser acompanhados pelo auxiliar be, frequentemente seguido de gerúndio (- ing), expressando tempo presente ou futuro.

Exemplo:

She may be buying clothes now. (Ela pode estar comprando roupas agora.)

He might be arriving late. (Ele deve chegar tarde.)

Podem ser acompanhados por have

Os verbos modais podem ser acompanhados pelo auxiliar have, seguido de particípio, expressando tempo passado.

Exemplo:

You could have bought it before. (Você poderia ter comprado isso antes.)

You should have arrived earlier. (Você devia ter chegado mais cedo.)

Não precisam de auxiliares

Os verbos modais não precisam ser acompanhados por verbos auxiliares em frases negativas e interrogativas pois eles próprios já são auxiliares.

Exemplos:

May I drink some water? (Posso beber água?)

I cannot go to the show (Não posso ir ao show.)

Shall é mais usado em interrogativas

O verbo modal shall é mais usado na forma interrogativa, e geralmente na primeira pessoa do singular ou do plural ( I e we).

Exemplos:

Shall we finish the game? (Nós devemos terminar o jogo?)

Shall I visit her? (Devo visitá-la?

"One never builds something finished":
the brilliance of architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha
Oliver Wainwright
February 4, 2017
"All space is public," says Paulo Mendes da Rocha. "The only private space that you can imagine is in the human mind." It is an optimistic statement from the 88-year-old Brazilian architect, given he is a resident of São Paulo, a city where the triumph of the private realm over the public could not be more stark. The sprawling megalopolis is a place of such marked inequality that its superrich hop between their rooftop helipads because they are too scared of street crime to come down from the clouds.

But for Mendes da Rocha, who received the 2017 gold medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects this week - an accolade previously bestowed on such luminaries as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright - the ground is everything. He has spent his 60-year career lifting his massive concrete buildings up, in gravity-defying balancing acts, or else burying them below ground in an attempt to liberate the Earth's surface as a continuous democratic public realm. "The city has to be for everybody," he says, "not just for the very few."
(www.theguardian.com. Adaptado.)
No trecho do segundo parágrafo "The city has to be for everybody", a expressão em destaque pode ser substituída, sem alteração de sentido, por

Should, shouldn't

Exercise 1

Complete the sentences using should, shouldn't and the words in brackets ( ).

Should, shouldn't - Form

The same form for all persons

The form of should is the same for all persons:

I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they should see a specialist.

Should(n't) + infinitive

Should is a modal verb, and all modal verbs are followed by an infinitive (without to).

You should listen to me. (NOT You should to listen.)

Should not= shouldn't

The negative form of should is should not or shouldn't.

You should not be here./You shouldn't be here.

Questions

To make questions, we use should + subject + infinitive. We don't use the verb do to make questions.

Should, shouldn't - Use

Giving advice

We use should or shouldn't to give somebody advice and to say what is or isn't the right thing to do.

I think you should ...

We often say I think ... should ... to give somebody advice.

Note that in a negative sentence, we often say I don't think ... should ... (NOT I think ... shouldn't ...)

I don't think you should call her now; she's very upset. (NOT I think you shouldn't call her)

We often say Do you think ... should ... to ask for advice.

Ought to, ought not to

We can also use ought to instead of should, and ought not to instead of shouldn't.

We don't add -s after he/she/it. We use can for all persons.

Can is an auxiliary verb and has a negative and interrogative form. We don't use do/don't to make questions and negatives.

Can you swim? (NOT Do you can swim?)

He can't swim. (NOT He don't can swim.)

Can, can't - use

Ability

We use can/can't to talk about ability in the present (=things that we know how to do).

Os modal verbs (verbos modais) em inglês são verbos auxiliares utilizados para complementar ou mudar o sentido dos verbos principais nas frases. Por esse motivo também são chamados de modal auxiliaries (auxiliares modais).

Eles são muito utilizados pelos falantes da língua inglesa e, portanto, são essenciais para os aprendizes desse idioma.

Exemplos de verbos modais

Consulte a tabela com os verbos modais ( modal verbs) mais utilizados em inglês:

pode; consegue

expressa permissão, capacidade, habilidade e possibilidade

poderia; podia; conseguia

expressa permissão, habilidade e possibilidade

Permissão: Could I talk to the director? (Eu poderia falar com o diretor?)

Habilidade: She could already sing when she was four. (Ela já conseguia cantar quando tinha quatro anos.)

Possibilidade: Jane could have been a doctor. (Jane poderia ter sido médica.)

deveria

expressa conselho, recomendação, sugestão

gostaria

expressa pedido, desejo

Pedido: Would you help me do my homework? (Você poderia me ajudar a fazer meu trabalho de casa?)

Desejo: I would like to have a pizza. (Eu gostaria de comer uma pizza.)

May
pode; poderia

expressa pedido, possibilidade, permissão

pode; poderia

expressa possibilidade

Possibilidade: It might be sunny on the weekend. (Deve estar sol no fim de semana.)

deve

expressa obrigação, proibição ou dedução

Shall

expressa convite, sugestão, ação futura (inglês britânico; usado com I e we)

Convite/sugestão: Shall we travel to Miami? (Vamos viajar para Miami?)

Ação futura: I shall be there at 8. (Estarei lá às 8h.)

será

expressa ação futura

Ação futura: They will get married next year. (Eles se casarão no ano que vem)

precisa, deveria

expressa conselho

Conselho: You ought to call the police. (Você deveria/precisa ligar para a polícia.)

Atenção! (Pay Attention!)

Como você pôde observar no quadro acima, can, may e could podem ser usados em situações parecidas, para indicar permissão ou pedido.

No entanto, é importante referir que:

Exemplos:

Can I ask a question? (Eu posso fazer uma pergunta?)

May I ask a question? (Eu posso fazer uma pergunta?)

Could I ask a question? (Eu poderia fazer uma pergunta?)

Outro caso semelhante é o de ought to e should.

Ambos podem ser usados para expressar conselho.

No entanto:

Exemplos:

You should tell it to your mother. (Você deveria contar isso para sua mãe.)

You ought to tell it to your boss. (Você deveria contar isso para o seu chefe.)
