Question

(Unifor-CE/2001)
In the age-old battle between independence-seeking teenagers and worried parents, the older generation is packing some new weapons. Caller ID tells parents who is calling their kids. Cell-phone bills detail every local number the kid has called. New computer programs track just about everything-every web sitevisited, every e-mail sent-that a teenager does online.

D) Tells-detail-track

E) Worried-has called-does

helppppppppp

Answer 1

Resposta:

D

Explicação:

Alternativa correta: D) tells – detail – track

“Tells” é uma flexão do verbo “to tell” (dizer), “detail” é uma flexão do verbo “to detail” (detalhar) e “track” é uma flexão do verbo “to track” (rastrear).

Para formar as flexões de terceira pessoa do singular (he/she/it) no Simple Present, temos como regra geral o acréscimo de –s na forma infinitiva do verbo, sem o “to”. (Exemplo: to tell >tells).

Dependendo da terminação do verbo, pode ser necessário acrescentar ou retirar mais letras. (Exemplo: to study > studies).

Para todas as outras pessoas (I, you, we e they), a flexão no Simple Present corresponde ao verbo no infinitivo sem o “to”. (Exemplos: to tell > tell; to study > study.)

em que tempo verbal estão as flexões das outras alternativas:

A) detail – track – get

- detail: Simple Present

- track: Simple Present

- get: No texto, o verbo “get” faz parte de uma estrutura que está no Simple Future: is going to get worse

B) worried – visited – sent

Todas as flexões dessa alternativa estão conjugadas no Simple Past.

C) is packing – is calling – is going

Todas as flexões dessa alternativa estão conjugadas no Present Continuous

E) worried – has called – does

- worried: Simple Past

- has called: Present Perfect

- does: Simple Present
