A\u00a0<\/span>terceira pessoa do singular em ingl\u00eas<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00e9, resumindo, a forma do verbo que usamos com os sujeitos\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(ele),\u00a0<\/span>she<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(ela) e\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(isso\/ela\/ele para objetos, animais ou ideias). Diferente do portugu\u00eas, onde conjugamos “eu falo, tu falas, ele fala”, no ingl\u00eas a grande diferen\u00e7a aparece quase s\u00f3 nessa pessoa: acrescentamos um\u00a0<\/span>-s<\/span><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>-es<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0ou\u00a0<\/span>-ies<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0ao verbo principal no presente simples. Pois \u00e9, parece besta, mas \u00e9 a\u00ed que mora o erro de 9 em cada 10 brasileiros. Neste artigo, vamos destrinchar cada regrinha, cada exce\u00e7\u00e3o, cada pegadinha. Voc\u00ea vai ver como formar frases negativas e perguntas, vai entender por que\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span><\/em>\u00a0vira\u00a0<\/span>has<\/span><\/em>\u00a0e\u00a0<\/span>do<\/span><\/em>\u00a0vira\u00a0<\/span>does<\/span><\/em>, e ainda vai sair com exemplos em ingl\u00eas traduzidos.

O que exatamente significa \u201cterceira pessoa do singular\u201d na gram\u00e1tica inglesa?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pois bem, a\u00a0<\/span>terceira pessoa do singular em ingl\u00eas<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0n\u00e3o \u00e9 nenhum bicho de sete cabe\u00e7as. Ela representa qualquer sujeito que n\u00e3o seja quem fala (primeira pessoa: I) nem com quem se fala (segunda pessoa: you). Em ingl\u00eas, os pronomes dessa turma s\u00e3o\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>she<\/span><\/em>\u00a0e\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span><\/em>. E o verbo, no presente simples, ganha um acr\u00e9scimo. \u00c9 a \u00fanica pessoa que muda a forma do verbo no presente afirmativo, exceto o verbo\u00a0<\/a><\/span>to be<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(que tem\u00a0<\/span>am<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>are<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span><\/em>) e o verbo\u00a0<\/span>to have<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(que tem\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span><\/em>\u00a0e\u00a0<\/span>has<\/span><\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Exemplos de uso em frases (ingl\u00eas e tradu\u00e7\u00e3o):<\/span><\/p>\n

    \nO cachorro late toda vez que a campainha toca.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Perceba que at\u00e9 sujeitos comuns (o cachorro, a menina, o carro) entram na terceira pessoa do singular. E a\u00ed o verbo ganha o\u00a0<\/span>*-s<\/span>*.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Por que o -s no final do verbo \u00e9 t\u00e3o importante e t\u00e3o esquecido?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Olha, a real \u00e9 que o falante de portugu\u00eas n\u00e3o sente falta do\u00a0<\/span>*-s<\/span>*\u00a0porque a gente marca pessoa no sujeito: “ele fala” \u2013 o “ele” j\u00e1 diz tudo. Em ingl\u00eas n\u00e3o:\u00a0<\/span>He speak<\/span><\/em>\u00a0soa errado, truncado, estranho. O\u00a0<\/span>*-s<\/span>*\u00a0em\u00a0<\/span>He speaks<\/span><\/em>\u00a0carrega uma informa\u00e7\u00e3o gramatical de terceira pessoa e singular. Sem ele, a frase vira jogo de adivinha\u00e7\u00e3o. N\u00e3o \u00e9 frescura, \u00e9 estrutura. A l\u00edngua inglesa usa essa desin\u00eancia para manter a coer\u00eancia temporal e concord\u00e2ncia.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Perguntas frequentes sobre terceira pessoa do singular em ingl\u00eas<\/span><\/h2>\n

                  1. O pronome \u201cit\u201d sempre exige verbo na terceira pessoa do singular?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nSim, sempre. Mesmo que\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span><\/em>\u00a0se refira a objetos, animais ou ideias abstratas, o verbo leva\u00a0<\/span>*-s<\/span>*\u00a0no presente simples afirmativo.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  2. E quando o sujeito \u00e9 um nome pr\u00f3prio como \u201cMaria\u201d ou \u201cJohn\u201d?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nTamb\u00e9m terceira pessoa do singular. Maria works, John plays.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  3. O verbo \u201cdo\u201d na terceira pessoa vira \u201cdoes\u201d. Como se pronuncia?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nPronuncia-se \/d\u028cz\/ (d\u00e1z), n\u00e3o \u201cdous\u201d. E\u00a0<\/span>does<\/span><\/em>\u00a0como verbo principal tamb\u00e9m:\u00a0<\/span>He does his homework<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  4. Por que \u201chave\u201d vira \u201chas\u201d e n\u00e3o \u201chaves\u201d?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nPor heran\u00e7a hist\u00f3rica do ingl\u00eas antigo. \u00c9 um verbo irregular, assim como\u00a0<\/span>be<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(is) e\u00a0<\/span>do<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(does).<\/span><\/p>\n

                  5. Qual a diferen\u00e7a entre \u201cHe can speaks\u201d (errado) e \u201cHe can speak\u201d (certo)?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nModais nunca recebem\u00a0<\/span>*-s<\/span>*. O verbo principal ap\u00f3s modal fica no infinitivo sem\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  6. \u201cThe police\u201d \u2013 singular ou plural?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nDepende. Geralmente plural (<\/span>the police are<\/span><\/em>). Mas se for \u201ca police officer\u201d (um policial), da\u00ed singular.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  7. \u201cEverybody\u201d \u2013 usa terceira pessoa singular?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nSim!\u00a0<\/span>Everybody needs love<\/span><\/em>. Embora se refira a muitas pessoas, a gram\u00e1tica exige verbo no singular.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  8. Como fa\u00e7o para parar de esquecer o -s?<\/span><\/strong>
                  \nTreine em voz alta. Crie o h\u00e1bito de parar e corrigir mentalmente. Use apps com corre\u00e7\u00e3o imediata.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Conclus\u00e3o<\/span><\/h2>\n

                  Pois bem, a\u00a0<\/span>terceira pessoa do singular em ingl\u00eas<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0n\u00e3o \u00e9 nenhum bicho de sete cabe\u00e7as, mas exige aten\u00e7\u00e3o. Vimos que ela aparece nos sujeitos\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>she<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>it<\/span><\/em>\u00a0e qualquer nome ou coisa no singular. Vimos as regras de\u00a0<\/span>*-s<\/span>*,\u00a0<\/span>*-es<\/span>*,\u00a0<\/span>-ies<\/span><\/em>, os auxiliares\u00a0<\/span>does<\/span><\/em>\u00a0para perguntas e negativas, os verbos\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span><\/em>\u00a0e\u00a0<\/span>has<\/span><\/em>, e os modais invari\u00e1veis. Acertar esses detalhes separa quem “se vira” de quem realmente fala bem. Pode parecer pequeno, mas \u00e9 um dos maiores marcadores de profici\u00eancia. Ent\u00e3o, da pr\u00f3xima vez que for dizer\u00a0<\/span>She like<\/span><\/em>… pare, respire e pense:\u00a0<\/span>She likes<\/span><\/em>. Com o tempo, vira autom\u00e1tico.
