Simple Present - Presente Simples
Usamos o Present Simple para falar de fatos reais, hábitos e rotinas.
Forma afirmativa
Na Língua Inglesa não ocorre a conjugação do verbo, como em Português. A única coisa que muda no
verbo é o acréscimo do "S" na terceira pessoa (He, She, It).
I walk - eu caminho It walks - ele/ela caminha (animais e objetos)
You walk - você caminha They walk - eles caminham
He walks - ele caminha
She walks - ela caminha
Alguns verbos que necessitam de uma construção diferente para a 3a. pessoa:(HE, SHE IT)
1. Verbos terminados em s,ss,sh,ch,x,z,o Acrescenta "ES" :
GO (ir) = GOES, CATCH (pegar) = CATCHES
PASS (passar) = PASSES, BRUSH (escovar) = BRUSHES,
FIX (consertar) = FIXES, BUZZ (zumbir) = BUZZES
2. Verbos terminados em Y precedidos de consoante, troca o Y por "IES":
TRY (tentar) = TRIES, STUDY (estudar) = STUDIES
3. Verbos terminados em Y, precedidos de vogal, acrescentamos apenas S.
Ex. play = PLAYS
4. Verbos que não seguem as regras acima, acrescentamos apenas S.
Ex. work = Works plan = plans write = writes
** O Verbo "HAVE" (ter) substitui por "HAS"
Forma negativa
Nas frases negativas, precisamos utilizar o auxiliar contraído na forma negativa:
DO + NOT = DON'T
DOES + NOT = DOESN'T
I don't walk - Eu não caminho
You don't walk - Você não caminha
He doesn't walk - Ele não caminha
She doesn't walk - Ela não caminha
It doesn't walk - Ele/ Ela não caminha (animais e objetos)
We don't walk - Nós não caminhamos
You don't walk - Vocês não caminham
They don't walk - Eles/Elas não caminham
Forma Interrogativa
Para a construção de frases interrogativas em Inglês, precisamos utilizar um "VERBO AUXILIAR" no início
da frase. No Presente Simples, o verbo auxiliar é o "DO".
Atenção: Na terceira pessoa (He, She, It), o verbo auxiliar é o "DOES"
OBS: Na 3ª. pessoa (He, She, It) não é necessário colocar o "S" no final do verbo, devido a presença do
auxiliar "DOES" .
