• B) In January 4, 2008.

How should we read the year Rayssa was born (2008)?

• A) two thousand and eight

• B) two thousand eight

• C) twenty oh eight

• D) twenty-eight

Answer explanation

As três primeiras alternativas, (A), (B) e (C), estão corretas, pois refletem formas adequadas de ler o número 2008 em inglês: tanto descrevendo o número dois mil e oito (com ou sem and entre os elementos), como repartindo em dois blocos: vinte – oh (lemos o zero como a letra O) – oito.

A alternativa (D) está incorreta, pois a sua tradução é “vinte e oito”, e esse não é o ano em questão.

Which of these verbs are in the past tense?

"She started skateboarding at the age of six after watching online videos. In 2015, a video of her performing tricks in a fairy costume went viral when Tony Hawk shared it."

• A) started – watching – went – shared

• B) watching – performing – shared

• C) started – watching – performing

• D) started – went – shared

Answer explanation

Started (“começou”), went (“se tornou”) e shared (“compartilhou”) são os únicos verbos no passado nessa frase. Os demais verbos estão na forma present continuous (em português, presente contínuo ou gerúndio).

Portanto, a alternativa correta é a (D).

Knowing that the blank should be filled with a regular verb in the past tense, choose the correct option:

"Rayssa ____________ many young athletes with her dedication and talent."

• A) saw

• B) inspired

• C) won

• D) led

Answer explanation

O passado dos regular verbs (verbos regulares) em inglês terminam com -ed. Já o passado dos irregular verbs, como o próprio nome diz, não tem uma forma regular, podendo ser de várias maneiras. Assim, o único regular verb no tempo passado está na alternativa (B).

A frase completa é: Rayssa inspired many young athletes with her dedication and talent. (“Rayssa inspirou muitos jovens atletas com sua dedicação e talento.”)

Choose the correct answer for this question:

Was Albert Einstein a politician?

Attention: there is more than a correct answer.

• A) No, he wasn’t. He was a physicist.

• B) No, he weren’t. He were a physicist.

• C) No, he was not. He was a physicist.

• D) No, he wasn’t. He were a physicist.

Answer explanation

Para formarmos a forma negativa do verbo to be, usamos was not ou wasn't quando o sujeito da oração é I, he, she ou it. Apenas usamos were not ou weren't quando o sujeito da oração é you, we ou they, o que não é o caso. Portanto, as alternativas (A) e (C) estão corretas.

Write the past verb that completes the gap in this sentence:

 

Yes, Cai Lun _______ the inventor of paper.

Answer explanation

A palavra correta é was, pois o verbo was acompanha os pronomes I, he, she ou it. Cai Lun relaciona-se ao pronome he ("ele").

Choose the alternative that shows the correct words to fill in the blanks:

 

Aristotle and Confucius __________ musicians. They __________ philosophers.

• A) was – weren’t

• B) was – wasn’t

• C) weren’t – was

• D) weren’t – were

Answer explanation

A frase completa é Aristotle and Confucius weren’t musicians. They were philosophers (“Aristóteles e Confúcio não eram músicos. Eles eram filósofos.”), já que, com o pronome they, usamos a forma verbal were, na forma positiva, e weren’t, na forma negativa. Assim, a alternativa correta é a letra (D).

Choose two possible answers to this question:

“Could you draw a detailed house when you were five years old?”

• A) No, I couldn’t.

• B) Yes, I couldn’t.

• C) Yes, I could.

• D) No, I could.

Answer explanation

Resolução

As duas respostas corretas são a alternativa (A) No, I couldn’t.

(“Não, eu não podia.”), e a alternativa (C) Yes, I could. (“Sim, eu podia.”).

A alternativa (B) está incorreta, pois couldn't ("não podia") é uma negativa e deve vir acompanhada de No ("Não").

A alternativa (D) está incorreta, pois could ("podia") é uma afirmação e deve vir acompanhada de Yes ("Sim").
