Os 100 Verbos Mais Comuns da Língua Inglesa
Charlles Nunes
Os Verbos formam a base da comunicação.
Começando por eles, você já adquire vantagem.
Os Verbos são a espinha dorsal de qualquer idioma. São eles que expressam as
ações, estados, ou fenômenos da natureza – conforme decoramos no colégio!
Pude comprovar sua importância ao fazer um curso de LIBRAS1. Bastava conhecer o
verbo principal da frase, colocá-lo no futuro ou passado com mais um gesto e... bingo!
Estava dado o recado.
Aqui você encontrará os 100 verbos mais comuns da língua inglesa, divididos em
grupos de 10. Cada verbo vem acompanhado de sua respectiva tradução – e uma
frase-modelo. Os verbos irregulares estão destacados em itálico.
Eis algumas dicas para sua utilização:
•
Imprima os 10 grupos – recorte cada um deles – e mantenha-os consigo durante o
dia. Sempre que tiver um tempo livre, consulte-os. Você se surpreenderá com seu
progresso sem necessitar reservar um tempo específico para estudar.
•
Traduza as frases para o Português. Basta enviá-las por email que devolverei com
os respectivos comentários: [email protected]
•
Rescreva cada frase em inglês, alterando uma palavra por frase. Mas lembre-se:
substitua sempre verbo por verbo, substantivo por substantivo, e assim por diante.
