MODAL VERBS Os principais modal verbs são can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, must, have to, ought to. São verbos auxiliares colocados diante do verbo principal para emprestam nuances de sentido. Podem indicar permissão, possibilidade, necessidade, obrigação, etc. Modal verbs apresentam certas peculiaridades: a) não se acrescenta ‘s’ ou ‘es a terceira pessoa do singular: Ex.: She can swim. Ela sabe nadar. He can speak Italian. Ele sabe falar italiano. It should arrive any minute now. . Deve chegar a qualquer momento. b) modal verbs não são seguidos de to + infinitive (com exceção dos

quase-modais como ‘ought to’, used to ...) Ex.: They should stay home. Elas devem ficar em casa. But: She ought to study more. Ela deve estudar mais. c) para formar-se a negativa coloca-se ‘not’ logo após o modal verb; para

formar perguntas inverte-se o modal verb com o sujeito. Exs.: You cannot enter that area. Você não pode entrar naquela área. Would you like to visit the farm? Você gostaria de visitar a fazenda? d) os chamados ‘perfect modals’ são assim formados:

modal verb + have (never has or had) + past participle of principal verb. Exs.: Sheila kept me waiting. She should have called me up much earlier. Sheila me deixou esperando. Devia ter-me telefonado muito antes.

I might have stayed longer if you had invited me. Podia ter ficado mais tempo se você tivesse me convidado.

They may have left for the airport already. Eles já devem ter ido pro aeroporto.

GUESSING MEANING WITH MODALS From Text 1 “…the Part B premium increase cannot be larger than a beneficiary’s Cost-of-Living Adjustment increase” (L-21/22) Os modal verbs permitem que você utilize uma outra reading strategy, qual seja, a de buscar o significado de trechos nos textos onde eles aparecem indicando, como já dissemos, permission, possbility, probability, necessity, obligation, etc. No exemplo do texto 1 o aumento dos prêmios não pode ser maior do que o ajuste do índice do custo de vida. Rapidamente, vamos analisar alguns exemplos com os verbos can / could: Ms. Lark’s boss said to her: ‘You can leave now.” O chefe da Ms. Lark lhe disse: - Você pode sair agora. (ou seja, ele lhe deu permissão) Se tivesse sido usado o verbo may, por exemplo, ficaria muito mais formal. Agora, se tivesse sido usado o verbo must. Mudaria tudo de figura. Ms. Lark’s boss told her: ‘You must leave now.” O chefe da Ms. Lark lhe disse: - Você tem que sair agora. (ou seja, por algum motivo ela tem que sair; está obrigada a fazê-lo agora) Mrs. Sorensen is busy now, but she can see you tomorrow afternoon. A Sra Sorensen está ocupada agora, mas poderá vê-lo amanhã à tarde. (claramente o verbo can está indicando possibilidade no futuro aqui) It can’t / couldn’t have been John you saw at the station, he’s been here with us all the time. Não pode / Não podia ter sido o John que você viu na estação, ele esteve conosco aqui o tempo todo. (já aqui os verbos can /could são usados para indicar uma probabilidade muito forte, quase certeza. É como se disséssemos: You must have seen somebody else)

So he introduces himself to the group. “Glad to meet you,” says the 1st roommate. “By the way, my I.Q. is 180.” “Good,” replies Einstein, “We'll be able to discuss quantum physics.” “I have an I.Q. of 159,” the second interjects. “Splendid - we can talk about the latest mathematical theories.” “As for me,” says the third man, “my I.Q. is 132.” “Delighted,” Einstein replies. “We can debate the current state of the arts.” “I’m honored to meet you,” the last man in the group says. “But my I.Q. is only 85.” “That's all right,” Einstein answers, shaking the man’s hand. “So tell me, where do you think interest rates are headed?” O que o modal verb ‘can’ está indicando na anedota acima em: a) can talk about __________________________________________ b) can debate __________________________________________

II – AT HIS FINGERTIPS George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), the great Irish dramatist, was celebrating his ninetieth birthday. Among the guests was Fabian, Scotland Yard's famous detective. At Fabian’s suggestion Shaw agreed to have his fingerprints recorded for posterity. To the amazement of both, Shaw's fingerprints were so faint that no impression could be obtained. “Well,” announced Shaw “if I had known this before I would certainly have chosen another profession.” (Adapted from The Little Brown Book of Anecdotes, edited by Clifton Fadiman) Traduza o exemplo de oração condicional (if-clause) na anedota acima: “if I had known this before I would certainly have chosen another profession…” _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________

A LOOK AT PAST EXAMS Going for the Big Guy Silvio Berlusconi was dapper as ever last week - so sleek and smooth in his double-breasted suit, in fact, you could almost forget the Italian Prime Minister was in court facing bribery charges. He barely broke a sweat during 50 minutes of ‘spontaneous remarks’ in a stuffy, packed courtroom, as he became the first sitting Prime Minister ever to testify at his own criminal trial. Listening just a few feet from the billionaire leader was another cool - though far more casually clad - customer. For this historic court date, lead prosecutor Ilda Boccassini’s usual uniform of a light blue denim jacket and white tennis shoes could be seen peeking out from her black magistrate’s robe. Beyond her sartorial choices, there is noting casual about the 53-year-old prosecutor. Boccassini has busted Mafia killers and crooked judges and is now trying to reel in the biggest fish of all. Berlusconi is accused in an alleged 1980s plot to bribe judges but he has denied any wrongdoings, saying the charges amount to a political coup attempt by leftish magistrates looking to undo his success. Renato Schifani, Senate leader for the Prime Minister Italia party, told TIME that Boccassini is one of the key leaders of an “anti-Berlusconi crusade’ in the Milan magistrate's office. After helping unravel Mob connections in Milan in the 1980s, and later moving to Sicily to convict the killers of anti-Mafia magistrate Giovanni Falcone, Boccassini returned north to eventually team up with anti-corruption prosecutor Gherardo Colombo in the Prime Minister’s case. (FGV / 2005 Adapted from Going for the Big Guy in TIME, May 19, 2003) 61. From lines 1 to 5 we infer that Silvio Berlusconi is A) a member of the jury B) the accuser C) the plaintiff D) the defendant E) the convict 62. According to line 4, the courtroom is A) airy and bare. B) spacious and cool. C) crowded and badly ventilated. D) gloomy and damp. E) small and cramped.

accused. E) Berlusconi seemed so concerned and troubled that one could almost

forget that he was the Prime Minister. 64. According to lines 4 to 7, Berlusconi A) is the former Prime Minister B) is the Prime Minister in office C) has been out of office due to a series of accusations D) is sitting on a jury. E) is the newly-appointed Prime Minister 65. Choose the one item which best completes the sentence.' Berlusconi was charged ____ bribery. (A) with (B) of (C) for (D) on (E) at 66.

In the text the phrase sartorial choices (line 12) is concerned with A) one's skill to make a careful choice. B) one's impartiality in giving judgment. C) one's ability to judge correctly. D) one's promptness to make up one’s mind. E) one's preference for clothes.

considered correct, EXCEPT A) Boccassini is likely to bring dawn Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi In the

long run B) Boccassini has had a very successful career as a prosecutor so far C) Berlusconi is bound to get away with his crimes D) Berlusconi refused to plead guilty to the charges of bribery E) Boccassini is ready to keep on fighting against the Italian Prime Minister
