Adjectives Order

A ordem dos adjetivos serve para que você não escreva mais de um adjetivo de forma aleatória numa frase. Essa ordem precisa ser seguida de acordo com o tipo de cada adjetivo. Veja abaixo o exemplo:

Algumas vezes nós podemos usar mais de um adjetivo na frase:

Ex: It´s a beautiful round wooden table.

(É uma mesa bonita, redonda e feita de madeira.)

Mas há uma maneira correta, ou seja, uma ordem em que esses adjetivos são escritos antes do substantivo. Para isso devemos saber quais são os tipos de adjetivos e suas ordens:

• Tipos de Adjetivos:

OPINION= indica o que você pensa a respeito, ou seja, OPINIÃO!

1- Opinion: indica opinião.
Exemplos: horrible, difficult, fun, etc.

FACT= indica o que é verdade, ou seja, o FATO!

2-Size: indica tamanho.
Exemplos: large, little, short, tall, etc.

3-Age: indica idade.
Exemplos: new, old, adolescent, a year, etc.

4-Shape: indica forma.
Exemplos: round, flat, square, irregular, etc.

5-Color: indica cor.
Exemplos: red, blue, etc.

6-Origin: indica a origem.
Exemplos: Brazilian, American, etc.

7-Religion: indica religião.
Exemplos: Buddhist, Taoist, Pagan, etc.

8-Material: indica o tipo de material que é feito.
exemplos: wooden, paper, metal, etc.

9-Purpose: indica o propósito de seu uso.
Exemplos: sleeping bag, computer table, football field, etc.

• Ordem dos Adjetivos:

Agora que você já sabe quais são os tipos de adjetivos, precisa saber qual a ordem correta ao escrevê-los. Para ficar mais fácil, divida a frase desta maneira:

Ex: A beautiful large round wooden table.

(uma mesa bonita, larga, redonda e feita de madeira.)

1º - divida a frase separando os adjetivos do substantivo;

2º - separe os adjetivos em: opinion ou fact;

3º- ordene corretamente.

What Would Love Do Now

Jason Mraz

It's nice to meet you. No, I'm not from outer space
But I'd like to take you, to a higher place,
Where we won't ever have to leave the ground.
Just ask what love would do now.
If it's got you thinking about a change of scenery
Try letting go of what it was or how things ought to be
And ask what love would do now,
Just ask what love would do now.
If you care to join me oh when you shake my hand,
Do not let go and soon you'll understand
What it means to have a friend beside you,
Who's there to remind you that love is what you
are right now.
Ask what would love do,
What would love do,
What would love do now.
What would love do now.
What would love do now.
Ask what would love do,
What would love do,
What would love do now.
What would love do now.
What would love do now.
Oh, what would love do now.

Eclipse's Preface

Preface

ALL OUR ATTEMPTS AT SUBTERFUGE HAD BEEN IN VAIN.

With ice in my heart, I watched him prepare to defend me. His intense concentration betrayed no hint of doubt, though he was outnumbered. I knew that we could expect no help- at this moment, his family was fighting for their lives just as surely as he was for ours.Would I ever learn the outcome of that other fight? Find out who the winners and the losers were? Would I live long enough for that?The odds of that didn't look so great.Black eyes, wild with their fierce craving for my death, watched for the moment when my protector's attention would be diverted. The moment when I would surely die.Somewhere, far, far away in the cold forest, a wolf howled.

General Review #2: Do, Go and Play Sports

'Do yoga? Play yoga? Go yoga?'

We use the verbs play, do and go with sports and activities. Here is the information you need to know to use them correctly:

play

Play is used with ball sports or competitive games where we play against another person:

'How often do you play tennis?' - tennis is a ball sport.

'I play poker with my friends on Friday night.' - poker is a competitive game. We play to win.

'I don't like playing computer games.' - again, computer games are competitive so we use play.

do

Do is used for a recreational activity or a non-team sport that does not use a ball:

'I heard that you do karate.' - karate is a non-team activity.

'I do crossword puzzles in my free time.' - crossword puzzles are not competitive.

go

Go is used with activities that end -ing. We go somewhere to do something:

'I'm going fishing on Sunday.'

'Are you going skiing this winter?'

'She said she was going swimming.'

#FakeFriends: Get outta trap!

Hey Folks! What's up?


Today I'm gonna talk a little bit about fake friends. Those words wich seems to be something but, on the contrary, means something else!


Here we have 5 examples:

1. Pretend: Esta palavra pode parecer 'pretender' mas na verdade significa 'fingir'

2. Ingenuous: Já esta daqui lembra 'ingênuo', mas na verdade significa 'engenhoso'

3. Push: Essa confusão entre empurrar e puxar é muito clássico. Atenção: Puxar em inglês: 'pull', empurrar, por sua vez, 'push'.

4. Library: Não se confunda: Library = livraria . Livraria = Bookstore

5. Eventually: Esta palavra que parece o advérbio 'eventualmente', na verdade significa 'finalmente'!

That's all for today, folks! Hope you like it!

#FikDik - Simple Present

O presente simples pode ser usado para expressar:

1- uma ação habitual, ou seja, aquilo que costumamos fazer sempre:

I always leave home at 7:00. (Eu sempre saio de casa às 7h).
They generally have lunch at the shopping mall. (Eles geralmente almoçam no shopping).
I never work on Sundays. (Eu nunca trabalho aos domingos).

2- uma verdade universal:

Babies cry. (Crianças choram).
Dogs bark. (Cachorros latem).
Birds sing. (Pássaros cantam).

O“do” e o “does” são os dois auxiliares do presente simples, e eles sempre devem ser usados em frases negativas e interrogativas, conforme a tabela abaixo:

Negativas	Interrogativas
I do not / I don’t	Do I …?
You do not / you don’t	Do you …?
He does not / he doesn’t	Does he….?
She does not / she doesn’t	Does she…?
It does not / it doesn’t	Does it…?
We do not / we don’t	Do we…?
You do not/ you don’t	Do you …?
They do not / they don’t	Do they...?

Ex.:

I don’t have to work today. (Eu não tenho que trabalhar hoje).
She doesn’t have to wash the dishes. (Ela não tem que lavar a louça).
They don’t go to school on the weekends. (Eles não vão à escola nos finais de semana).

Do you generally wake up at seven? (Você geralmente acorda às 7h?).
Does the dog bark a lot during the night? (O cão late muito durante a noite?).
Does he work as a waiter at that new restaurant? (Ele trabalha como garçom naquele novo restaurante?).

Não é necessário o uso dos auxiliares “do” e “does” nas frases afirmativas, no entanto, os verbos sofrem algumas alterações nas terceiras pessoas do singular (he, she, it). Como regra geral, deve-se acrescentar um “s” no verbo para essas pessoas.

Ex.:

Mary lives downtown. (A Maria mora no centro da cidade).
Bob loves chocolate. (Bob ama chocolate).
Susan’s dog sleeps a lot during the day. (O cachorro da Susan dorme muito durante o dia).

No entanto, existem algumas exceções que se referem às terceiras pessoas do singular (he, she, it). São elas:

1- Quando o verbo terminar em “y” precedido de consoante, tira-se o “y” e acrescenta-se “ies”.

Carol studies at a good college. (A Carol estuda numa boa universidade).
Mom fries eggs in a pan. (Mamãe frita ovos numa panela).

2- Quando os verbos terminarem em “ss”, “sh”, “ch”, “x” e “o”, acrescenta-se “es”.

Bob fixes everything at his house. (Bob conserta tudo na casa dele).
Daniel watches cartoon every morning. (Daniel assiste desenho todas as manhãs).
Every day after the meals, my mom washes the dishes. (Todo dia após as refeições, minha mãe lava a louça).
Jack does his homework at night. (Jack faz seu dever de casa à noite).
Cindy kisses her parents every day. (Cindy beija seus pais todos os dias).
