Conditional Tense – IF Clauses
Condicional Tense (Futuro do Pretérito e Futuro do Presente)
Para se formar uma frase na forma condicional basta colocar o auxiliar would antes do
verbo principal na frase. Os tempos condicionais podem ser:
Simples
Formado por SUJEITO + WOULD+ INFINITIVO SEM “TO”
Ex: I would study. (Eu estudaria/Eu iria estudar).
Contínuo
Formado por SUJEITO+WOULD+BE=V-ING
Ex: I would be studying. (Eu estaria estudando).
Perfeito
Formado por SUJEITO+ WOULD+HAVE+ PARTICÍPIO PASSADO
Ex: I would have studied. (Eu iria ter estudado/ Eu teria estudado).
Os tempos do condicional são muitas vezes usados juntamente com outros tempos
verbais, e a conjunção if (se) permite que esta correlação seja feita. Com esta conjunção,
se o verbo na frase estiver no presente simples, o outro verbo estará no futuro do
presente.
Ex: If I can, I will go wherever you will go. (Se eu puder, eu irei aonde quer que você
vá).
Com a conjunção if, havendo verbo no passado, o outro verbo irá para o futuro do
pretérito:
Ex: If I could, I would go wherever you will go. (Se eu pudesse, eu iria aonde quer que
você fosse).

What would you do if...?
By asking questions to passerby and reporting their answers, the New York Daily New’s
Inquiring Photographer, Jimmy Jemail, knocks together a fascinating column. The things that
people tell him are usually things that thousands of readers have been thinking but not telling.
One day last week he asked, “If your house caught fire at night, what would you grab before
trying to escape?”
“I’d take my most gorgeous negligee from the closet, don’t it, go to the window and wait for
the firemen… I’d risk a few minutes of my life to be s3en as I always want to be seen in public:
glamorous.” Answered a Manhattan café hostess.
“First I’d grab my false teeth… If there was time, I’d then put on my pants. And if I still had a
little time, I’d kick my mother-in-law in the shins so she couldn’t escape. No, that’s not cruelty;
that’s justice.” Said a Bronx waiter.

Prepositions
Prepositions são palavras que estabelecem relações de ligação entre dois elementos de
uma oração. Tomando como exemplo a conhecida expressão “The book is on the
table.”, podemos identificar a preposition “on” (sobre a superfície) ligando dois termos
da oração: o sujeito (the book) e o objeto da preposição (table).
Existem muitas prepositions na língua inglesa. Em razão de muitas delas serem
confundidas, é necessário conhecer bem suas aplicações.
O uso de “In” e “on” é uma das maiores dúvidas no estudo das prepositions. “In” é
usado para nos referir a cidades, Estados e países; partes do dia; anos e estações do ano.
Exemplos: In 2008, in Brazil, in morning, in Paris, in summer, etc. Também usamos

The Canterville Ghost Level: lower intermediate
The ghost did not appear for the rest of the week. The only strange thing that
happened was the blood-stain, which they found on the library-floor every morning. It
was also quite strange that the colour of the stain changed from time to time. Some
mornings it was red, then brown or purple, or even green. These changes amused the
family very much, and bets on the colour were made every evening. The only person
who did not enter into the joke was Virginia. For some unexplained reason, she was
rather annoyed at the sight of the blood-stain, and nearly cried the morning it was green.
The second appearance of the ghost was on Sunday night. Shortly after the
family had gone to bed they heard a fearful crash in the hall. A suit of armour had fallen
on the floor and in a chair sat the Canterville ghost and rubbed his knees, which seemed
to hurt. When the twins started shooting peas at him with their pea-shooters, the ghost
INGLÊS 3º ANO – ENSINO MÉDIO – 2015
26
stood up with an angry growl and passed through them like a mist. He also blew out the
candle, leaving them all in total darkness. On top of the stairs the ghost turned around
and, in order to frighten the Otis boys, laughed his most horrible laugh. Just then, a door
opened and Mrs Otis came out of her bedroom. “I am afraid you are not well,” she said,
“I have therefore brought you this bottle of medicine.” The ghost looked at her
furiously, and then he disappeared.
When he reached his room, he was completely exhausted. This American family
was extremely annoying. But what annoyed him most was, that he had not been able to
wear the suit of armour. The weight of it had made him fall and hurt his knees.
For some days after this the ghost only left his room to renew the blood-stain.
However, on Friday, the 17th of August, he tried to frighten the Otis family again. At
half-past ten the family went to bed. For some time the ghost heard the twins laugh, but
at a quarter past eleven all was still. So, at midnight he left his secret chamber and
glided through the corridors, when suddenly, behind one corner, a horrible ghost stood
right in front of him. As the Canterville ghost had never seen another ghost before, he
was terribly frightened. He quickly hurried back to his room. But then he thought that
he should go and and speak to the other ghost. After all, two ghosts were better than
one, and his new friend might help him to frighten the twins. However, when he came
back to the spot, he found that this 'other ghost' was not real, but only a white sheet
which the twins had hung there to play a trick on him. Very upset the Canterville ghost
went back to his chamber.

Drink Milk, Lose Weight!
Researches at Purdue University, in Indiana, United States, report that women
in the age group of 18 to 31 who consume an average of 1,000 milligrams of calcium a
day have smaller over-all levels of body fat and slower weight gain than women who
consume approximately the same number of calories but less calcium. Calcium is a
chemical element which is present in bones, teeth and blood.
“Our study shows that calcium not only helps control weight, but can also be
associated specifically with decreases in body fat”, says Dorothy Teegarden, assistant
professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University. “We do not know wheter the
weight regulation applies to women in other age groups or to men”.
The researches also found that women in the study who got their calcium from
dairy sources, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, showed more of the weight control
benefits than those who primarily use nondairy sources – such as vegetables, nuts and
beans – or calcium supplements.
“There is something in milk that works to help regulate body weight”,
Teegarden says.
Girls, what are you waiting for? Drink milk, lose weight!

Modal Verbs
What causes the Greenish color around the yolk of Hand-Boiled Eggs?
Many times when eggs are boiled, you can observe a greenish color around the
yolk. Experienced cooks know that eggs need to be boiled slowly, that boiling needs to
be carefully timed, in order to prevent this discoloration. After boiling, the eggs are
placed in cold water to arrest the cooking process. What is the green color that may
result when these precautions are not taken? Iron, in the form iron (II) ions, reacts with
sulfide ions from the white to form iron (II) sulfide:
Fe2+ + S2- = FeS

Reported Speech
Reported Statements
When do we use reported speech? Sometimes someone says a sentence, for example
"I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later, maybe we want to tell someone else what the
first person said.
Watch my reported speech video:
Here's how it works:
We use a 'reporting verb' like 'say' or 'tell' If this verb is in the present tense, it's easy.
We just put 'she says' and then the sentence:

Direct speech: “I like ice cream”

Reported speech: She says she likes ice cream
We don't need to change the tense, though probably we do need to change the 'person'
from 'I' to 'she', for example. We also may need to change words like 'my' and 'your'.
But, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, then usually we change the tenses in the
reported speech:

* doesn't change
Occasionally, we don't need to change the present tense into the past if the information
in direct speech is still true (but this is only for things which are general facts, and even
then usually we like to change the tense):

Direct speech: “The sky is blue”

Reported speech: She said that the sky is/was blue
Reported Questions
So now you have no problem with making reported speech from positive and negative
sentences. But how about questions?

Direct speech: "Where do you live?"
How can we make the reported speech here?
In fact, it's not so different from reported statements. The tense changes are the same, and we
keep the question word. The very important thing though is that, once we tell the question to
someone else, it isn't a question any more. So we need to change the grammar to a normal
positive sentence. Confusing? Sorry, maybe this example will help:

Direct speech: "Where do you live?"

Reported speech: She asked me where I lived.
Do you see how I made it? The direct question is in the present simple tense. We make a
present simple question with 'do' or 'does' so I need to take that away. Then I need to change
the verb to the past simple.
Another example:

Direct speech: "where is Julie?"

Reported speech: She asked me where Julie was.
The direct question is the present simple of 'be'. We make the question form of the present
simple of be by inverting (changing the position of)the subject and verb. So, we need to change
them back before putting the verb into the past simple.
Here are some more examples:

Reported Question
“Where is the Post Office, please?” She asked me where the Post Office was.
“What are you doing?”
She asked me what I was doing.
“Who was that fantastic man?”
She asked me who that fantastic man had been.
So much for 'wh' questions. But, what if you need to report a 'yes / no' question? We don't
have any question words to help us. Instead, we use 'if':

Direct speech: "Do you like chocolate?"

Reported speech: She asked me if I liked chocolate.
No problem? Here are a few more examples:

Reported Question
“Do you love me?”
He asked me if I loved him.
“Have you ever been to Mexico?” She asked me if I had ever been to Mexico.
“Are you living here?”
She asked me if I was living here.
Reported Requests
There's more! What if someone asks you to do something (in a polite way)? For
example:

Direct speech: "Close the window, please"

Or: "Could you close the window please?"

Or: "Would you mind closing the window please?"
All of these requests mean the same thing, so we don't need to report every word when
we tell another person about it. We simply use 'ask me + to + infinitive':

Reported speech: She asked me to close the window.
Here are a few more examples:

Direct Request
Reported Request
“Please help me”.
She asked me to help her.
“Please don't smoke”.
She asked me not to smoke.
“Could you bring my book tonight?”
She asked me to bring her book that night.
“Could you pass the milk, please?”
She asked me to pass the milk.
“Would you mind coming early tomorrow?” She asked me to come early the next day.
To report a negative request, use 'not':

Direct speech: "Please don't be late."

Reported speech: She asked us not to be late.
Reported Orders
And finally, how about if someone doesn't ask so politely? We can call this an 'order' in
English, when someone tells you very directly to do something. For example:

Direct speech: "Sit down!"
In fact, we make this into reported speech in the same way as a request. We just use 'tell'
instead of 'ask':

Reported speech: She told me to sit down.
Direct Order
Reported Order
“Go to bed!”
He told the child to go to bed.
“Don't worry!” He told her not to worry.
“Be on time!”
He told me to be on time.
“Don't smoke!” He told us not to smoke.
Time Expressions with Reported Speech

47
Sometimes when we change direct speech into reported speech we have to change time
expressions too. We don't always have to do this, however. It depends on when we
heard the direct speech and when we say the reported speech.
For example:
It's Monday. Julie says "I'm leaving today".
If I tell someone on Monday, I say "Julie said she was leaving today".
If I tell someone on Tuesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving yesterday".
If I tell someone on Wednesday, I say "Julie said she was leaving on Monday".
If I tell someone a month later, I say "Julie said she was leaving that day".
So, there's no easy conversion. You really have to think about when the direct speech
was said.
Here is a table of some possible conversions:
now
then / at that time
today
yesterday / that day / Tuesday / the 27th of June
yesterday the day before yesterday / the day before / Wednesday / the 5th of December
last night
the night before, Thursday night
last week
the week before / the previous week
tomorrow today / the next day / the following day / Friday
