APRESENTAÇÃO
A rotina de um executivo é quase sempre a mesma: che-
gar cedo ao escritório, ligar o computador, e entrar em
contato com tudo que está acontecendo em sua volta.
Nesta unidade retomamos as atividades que fazemos
diariamente, não somente as pessoais mas também as
profissionais. Entretanto estaremos trabalhando com o
tempo verbal agora também além da forma afirmativa,
as formas interrogativa e negativa.
Nosso objetivo nesta unidade é a Introdução das estru-
turas básicas da língua inglesa e a prática das habilidades
gerais de recepção oral e escrita e de produção oral e es-
crita. Além de reconhecer e diferenciar em frases afirmati-
vas as alterações sofridas nos verbos conjugados nas ter-
ceiras pessoas do singular (he/she/it); o uso das partículas
auxiliares Do e Does, em frases negativas e interrogativas,
como esse tempo verbal é formado e para quais finalida-
des é usado, além do estudo da forma do presente sim-
ples e reconhecimento de alguns verbos e as alterações
sofridas na 3ª pessoa do singular, partículas auxiliares Do
e Does, formas afirmativa, negativa e interrogativa e es-
truturar e reconhecer expressões na língua Inglesa.

PaRA COMEÇAR
Você já parou para pensar como é a vida de um diretor
de uma empresa? Provavelmente cheia de compromis-
sos e tarefas. A seguir você observará um pouco da roti-
na de Robert, o diretor de uma empresa multinacional.
Leia o texto abaixo.
 Robert is a director at a multinational company. His
day begins at 7:00 when the alarm clock rings. But he
stays in bed and watches the news on television until
7:15. He hardly ever gets up straight away. He has a
shower and brushes his teeth. He gets dressed and
has breakfast.
When he gets to the office, he turns on the computer, reads e-mail and
starts work.
In the morning he has meetings, and takes calls from clients. He usually
has lunch at his desk, but sometimes he goes out with a client, or gives
a lunchtime presentation. In the afternoon he usually visits clients. He
leaves work around seven, but sometimes he goes to an evening meeting.
He rarely arrives home before 10 o’clock and he almost always has a busy
day, but he loves it.

Ao descrever tudo o que Robert faz durante o dia, utilizamos palavras que
demonstram dinamicidade. Estamos falando de verbos.
Você sabe que são os verbos que dão movimento a nossas palavras.
Alguns verbos são utilizados na nossa rotina do dia a dia e outros são uti-
lizados em nosso ambiente de trabalho e estudo.

Fundamentos
Simple Present: Negatives and Questions

Introduction
Nas formas negativa e interrogativa do Presente Simples, usamos o auxi-
liar “do” ou “does”. Esta página explica as regras.

1. Forming a negative
No Presente Simples, as negativas são formadas acrescentando-se “don’t”
ou “doesn’t” antes do verbo.

subject auxiliary example

I don’t I don’t sing

You don’t You don’t sing

He doesn’t He doesn’t sing

 subject auxiliary example

She doesn’t She doesn’t sing

It doesn’t It doesn’t sing

We don’t We don’t sing

They don’t They don’t sing

Em outras palavras, somente os sujeitos na terceira pessoa do singular

(he, she, it) levam “doesn’t”, os demais levam “don’t”.

2. Forming a yes/no question

As perguntas do tipo sim/não também são feitas usando os auxiliares ‘do’
ou ‘does’. Neste caso, o auxiliar é colocado antes do sujeito. Aqui estão as
regras:

auxiliary subject example

Do I Do I sing?

Do you Do you sing?

Does he Does he sing?

Does she Does she sing?

Does it Does it sing?

Do we Do we sing?

Do they Do they sing?

3. Forming a WH- question

As perguntas com os pronomes interrogativos (aqueles que iniciam com
WH-, por exemplo, What, When e Where) também são feitas usando o
auxiliar antes do sujeito. Acrescenta-se o pronome interrogativo no início.
Aqui estão alguns exemplos:

statement yes/no question wh- question

I sing. Do I sing? What do I sing?

You fight. Do you fight? Why do you fight?

He lives Does he live? Where does he live?
