A sintaxe da língua inglesa é predominantemente rígida, seguindo a ordem Sujeito-Verbo-Objeto, mas permite inversões e estruturas específicas para enfatizar informações. Registre V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:


( ) A inversão entre sujeito e auxiliar é obrigatória após advérbios ou expressões de sentido negativo ou restritivo, como "seldom" ou "under no circumstances", quando posicionados no início da frase.

( ) As orações clivadas (cleft sentences) iniciadas por "It" ou "What" servem para focalizar um elemento específico da sentença, deslocando a carga de informação para o início da estrutura frasal.

( ) Em orações exclamativas iniciadas por "Here" ou "There", ocorre a inversão sujeito-verbo obrigatoriamente se o sujeito for um pronome pessoal, para manter a ênfase rítmica do registro coloquial.

( ) A ordem direta dos adjetivos que antecedem um substantivo deve priorizar a opinião subjetiva antes de características físicas objetivas, como tamanho, idade, cor e origem.

C

durative and iterative actions whose semantic focus lies on habituality and general truth, approximating the aspectual value of the Simple Present, despite the auxiliary construction.

In English grammar, nominal agreement involves the correct relationship between nouns and the words that modify them, especially adjectives, demonstratives, and quantifiers.

In applying Larsen-Freeman’s 3D approach to teaching a specific grammatical structure like the passive voice, the pedagogical sequence that best illustrates the integration of Form, Meaning, and Use while addressing the Challenge Principle is


A

focusing exclusively on the accuracy of the form by providing a series of mechanical transformation drills, requiring students to change active sentences into passive ones to ensure the be + past participle pattern becomes a habit.


B

ensuring students can construct the morphosyntax (auxiliary be + past participle), explaining the semantic focus (defocusing the agent), and then implementing a context-sensitive task where students must choose between active and passive based on whether the agent is known or new information.


C

defining the structure as a static area of declarative knowledge by providing a list of verbs and their past participles for memorization, assuming that knowing the ‘how’ of the rules is sufficient for communication.


D

adopting a non-interface position by providing abundant comprehensible input through reading passages and assuming that students will pick up the complex rules of passive use naturally without any explicit focus on form.


E

treating the passive voice as a fixed set of rules with only one right answer and then testing students on their ability to identify the structure in isolated sentences without considering the social or discourse context.

Subject−verb agreement in English requires the verb to match the subject in person and number, especially in the third person singular of the simple present. With regard to the rules of subject−verb agreement, select the CORRECT alternative.


A

Agreement in noun phrases requires that the adjective receives a plural suffix "-s" whenever the noun it modifies is in the plural form to avoid syntactic fragmentation.


B

The verb "to be" is the only verb in English that has three different forms in the present tense to agree with all persons, except for the second person plural which uses "is."


C

In the simple present, most verbs take an "-s" suffix when the subject is "he," "she," or "it," or a singular noun, except for modal verbs which remain invariable.


D

Collective nouns such as "family" or "team" must always take a plural verb in American English, regardless of whether the speaker sees the group as a single unit.

A

“part of the problem is that teaching is often portrayed as something that’s too magical and cryptic to decode.”


B

“but despite this, there’s been little systematic research into how we can measure the personal characteristics that make a teacher effective – and how we can reliably select people for teacher training.”


C

“a recent study by Dr Allison Atteberry from the University of Colorado followed more than 3,000 teachers over the first five years of their careers, measuring their effectiveness by looking at student outcomes.”


D

“the debate over what makes a good teacher isn’t new – as far back as 500BC, Confucius was portrayed as a model teacher.”

Examine the phrase "2 medium sized finger limes... sliced lengthwise and the pearl like fruit removed." Which analysis correctly explains the passive voice construction and its grammatical implications in this context?


A

The phrase contains two active voice constructions where "sliced" and "removed" function as action verbs performed by the finger limes themselves.


B

The phrase demonstrates comparative adjectives "sliced" and "removed" that describe the physical characteristics of the finger limes in relation to other fruits.


C

This construction shows two present perfect tense verbs with the auxiliary "have" implied, indicating actions that started in the past and continue to the present.


D

This represents a reduced passive voice construction where the auxiliary verb "are" and the agent performing the actions have been omitted, with "sliced" and "removed" functioning as past participles.


E

The words "sliced" and "removed" are simple past tense verbs indicating completed actions that occurred before the recipe was written.
