PRONOMES PESSOAIS EM INGLÊS

Plural de I = we

Plural de you = you

Plural de he, she, it = they

Detalhes mais importantes:

1) Em inglês, como no português, há 6 pessoas, 3 para o plural e 3

para o singular. Porém, há 8 e não 6 pronomes pessoais em inglês.

Isso se explica pelo fato de haver não apenas 1, mas sim 3 pronomes

(he, she, it) na terceira pessoa do singular do inglês.

2) “he” é usado para seres humanos do sexo masculino e alguns

animais (ex: Animais de estimação)

“she” é usado para seres humanos do sexo feminino e alguns animais.

“it” é usado para coisas e para a maioria dos animais e outros seres

como insetos, por exemplo.

Muito dificilmente o dono de uma cadela vai chamá-la de “it” e não de

“she”. Uma cobra, por exemplo, seria quase sempre “it”.

3) O plural de “you” (você/tu) é “you” (vocês/vós). Palavras

idênticas. Assim, se alguém apenas ouvir um pessoa gritar “you”, sem

ver o que está acontecendo, fica possível saber se “you” significava

“você/Tu” ou “vocês/ vós”.

4) “they” é o plural de “he, she, it”. Assim, “they”, seria “eles” ou

“elas” incluindo tudo: o masculino e o feminino para todas as pessoas,

animais, coisas, etc.

5) “I”, (“eu”) é sempre escrito com letra maiúscula, mesmo que não

esteja no começo de uma frase.

Numbers

There are two main types of numbers:

1. Cardinal Numbers - 1 (one), 2 (two) etc. (Used mainly for counting)

2. Ordinal Numbers - 1st (first), 2nd (second) etc. (Used mainly for putting things in a

sequence)

Cardinal Numbers

Cardinal numbers are normally used when you:

count things: I have two brothers. There are thirty-one days in January.

give your age: I am thirty-three years old. My sister is twenty-seven years old.

give your telephone number: Our phone number is two-six-three, three-eight-

four-seven. (481-2240)

give years: She was born in nineteen seventy-five (1975). America was

discovered in fourteen ninety-two

Dates

Notice how we divide the year into two parts. This is the form for year up to 1999.

For the year 2000 and on, we say two thousand (2000), two thousand and one

(2001), two thousand and two (2002) etc.

Ordinal Numbers

You can normally create Ordinal numbers by adding -TH to the end of a Cardinal Number.

Ordinal numbers are normally used when you:

give a date: My birthday is on the 27th of January. (Twenty-seventh of January)

put things in a sequence or order: Liverpool came second in the football league

last year.

give the floor of a building: His office is on the tenth floor.

have birthdays: He had a huge party for his twenty-first birthday.

Cardinal Numbers

* Instead of saying One Hundred, you can say A hundred. (100)

e.g. (127) one hundred and twenty-seven OR (127) a hundred

and twenty-seven.

1. The same rule applies for one thousand (a thousand) and one million (a

million)

2. Notice that you need to use a hyphen (-) when you write the numbers

between 21 and 99.

3. With long numbers, we usually divide them into groups of three which are

divided by a comma.

e.g. 5000000 (5 million) is normally written as 5,000,000
