Introdução

A revolução industrial ganhou uma nova cara com a automação. O homem foi substituído por máquinas cada vez mais eficientes e baratas. Nessa lição, você verá o resultado desses avanços na tecnologia.

Metas

No final dessa lição você vai ser capaz de:

  • Entender o uso do present perfect
  • Entender diferentes expressões com "keep"
Por: Josh

Many of you know that the present perfect is one of my favorite verb tenses, especially because it poses a challenge for Brazilians learners of English. So let's practice it right now. Send in a sentence using the present perfect!

I've learned how and when to use the present perfect, but it always confuses me.

Well, it's a confusing verb tense for everyone, Genilton. Even for native speakers of English!

Present Perfect always reminds me "Have you ever seen the rain?" of Creedence Clearwater Revival

When something "te lembra de" something else, don't forget to use the preposition "of": "The present perfect always reminds me of 'Have you ever seen the rain' by CCR. Perfect song for the present perfect!

Wow ! This is the coolest restaurant I´ve ever been. Look at a wonderful decoration. I imagine that the food will be the coolest too !!!

Por: Josh em 25/01/2010 às 12:12h
Great job, Pati! Just a couple of things: "This is the coolest restaurant I've ever been to. Look at the wonderful decorations (OR: Look how wonderfully it has been decorated.). The rest is great. What restaurant is this? I'd like to try the food there, too!

I´ve been to France some times. In this year, on June, I´ll be going to the US, to Grand Rapids, MI.

Have you ever eaten some food as bad as the Fois Gras?

We haven´t drink our glasses orange juice yet! Wait a minute, please!

Your first sentence is almost perfect. Instead of "some times", which means "de vez em quando", you meant to say "algumas vezes" which is "a few times". In the second part, you do not need the preposition "in" before "this year" - just "This year, in June, I'll..." Your question is almost perfect, too! "Have you ever eaten any (se usa "any" para perguntas e negativas) food as bad a the fois gras?" Your last sentence needs a little work; let's see: "We haven't drunk our glasses of orange juice yet! These were complicated sentences and you got their structures almost perfectly. Good job!

Has he driven with his arm broken?

You haven't forbidden the access to this place.

Por: Josh em 04/03/2010 às 11:44h
Good job, Jvieramartins! Just one thing needs changing: in your last sentence you cannot use the "the" before access. In this case "access" is an uncountable noun and does not carry an article like "the". The rest is boss!

Hi, kade! Deixe claro que você não conseguiu ver o vídeo: I haven't been able to see this video OR I wasn't able to see this video. O resto está perfeito. Oh, and the video is working just fine. Good job! Abs.

I've never gone abroad.
Have you just done your task?
I have already done the landry and the dishes.

Por: Josh em 22/04/2010 às 11:09h
Awesome job, Esequiel! Just a couple of things. In English we use "to be abroad" - "I've never been abroad." Your sentence is perfectly correct (Eu nunca fui ao exterior), but it's a question of usage. And for your last sentence, I hope doing the "landry" is easier than doing the "laundry"! LOL! Great job and great sentences!
Foto
Por: esequiel.jr em 26/04/2010 às 11:22h
Thanks Josh. I still have this type issue.
I got it. To be Abroad. Checked.

I've never been abroad.
That's enough! I've already done the laundry and the dishes twice this morning. Is that some kind of punish or something?

Por: monicabic em 26/04/2010 às 16:30h
Yeah..maybe it's some kind of punishment...rsrsrs

Great! Attention to capital letter for English.

Here you have some “tasks sentence” to be corrected.

1-I’ve reminded me that in my youth I was the best student in Second School class.
2-I’ve never been to a political meeting until now. I could say it’d be horrible taking so a look down event.
3-Have you ever seen such a coolest looking fashionable girl like that one?
4-Have you sold your old bike to my son?

1-I ’ve reminded me remember that, in my youth, I was the best student in Second School class high school.

2-Essa frase stá correta até horrible. Depois disso eu não entendi o que você quis dizer. Manda novamente em português?

3-Have you ever seen such a cool looking, fashionable girl like that one?

4-Perfect!
Good job! Abs.

Olá! Miss Tamara. Acho que pisei na bola. No final da segunda frase - refere-se a um "phrasal verb- look down on -" mas creio que foi mal aplicado nessa sentença.(Eu poderia dizer que seria horrível assistir a tão desprezível evento).
Foto
Por: gmangold em 26/06/2010 às 19:01h
Like this ”It would be horrible to watch as despicable event”.
