Comentários

• Often a noun phrase is just a noun or a pronoun:

  But noun phrases can also include:

  • determiners:     Those houses are very expensive.
  • quantifiers:          I've lived in a lot of houses.
  • numbers:            My brother owns two houses.
  • adjectives:      I love old houses.     
  •  

  These parts of the noun phrase are called premodifiers because they go before the noun.

  We use premodifiers in this order:

  determiners and quantifiers>numbers>adjectives + NOUNS

  Determiners and quantifiers Numbers Adjectives NOUNS

• Obrigado pela resposta! Compreendi o tema!

  Apesar de achar que a interpretação conforme julgava improcedente o pedido de inconstitucionalidade, enquanto a declaração de inconstitucionalidade, sem redução de texto julgava procedente o pedido de inconstitucionalidade. Tanto é assim que há entendimento do STF de que a interpretação conforme não necessita passar pelo crivo do Plenário ou orgao especial.

Gabarito: C

Comentários

• Não entendi o porquê da resposta, já que em nenhuma alternativa tem o verbo to be que é necessário para a composição do passive voice. 

• Não necessariamente precisa ter o "be", até porque o "be" só será incluso quando tiver verbo modal !!!!!!!!

  Uma dica é por no fim da frase "by someone", se fizer sentido é passive voice ! 

   

• Na voz passiva o verbo sempre será TRANSITIVO DIRETO

  Só se passa uma frase pra voz passiva quando é verbo é VTD ou VTDI

  Por exemplo: alguém convidou Ellen para o show (ativa)

  aí na voz passiva: Ellen foi convidada para o show

  FONTE: Minha amiga prof. de português.

  ------------------------

  She got the job. - Ela conseguiu o emprego. ---- The job was gotten by her. (Active - sounds strange)

  (VTD)

  I got sick after Carnival. - Eu fiquei doente depois do Carnaval. ---- We can't transform it to Active voice.

  (VI)

  She got invited to the show. - Ela foi convidada para o show. ----- They invited Ellen to the show.

  He got stressed before the game. - Ele ficou estressado antes do jogo. ------ XXXXXX

• A. more

Gabarito: E

Comentários

• MORE high ---- HIGHER

  TOTALLY high ---- ''totalmente caro'' expressa uma ideia de completude, mas vemos que na continuação da frase é afirmado ''over the last few years'', e a palavra ''over'' significa mais ou menos ''no decorrer'', ou seja, totalmente o oposto de algo que já está finalizado.

  UTTERLY mesma coisa que totally.

  BLATANTLY demonstra um sentido meio pejorativo, portanto não se encaixa na frase.

  ASTRONOMICALLY = ADVERB (LARGE) ''by a very  ''

Gabarito: B

Comentários

• GAB - B "to make  enquiries"   - para fazer perguntas 

• The verb make can be used in a number of ways.

  There are many expressions which use this pattern:

  make a claim

  make a mess

  make a speech

  make a complaint

  make a mistake

  make a start

  make a concession

  make a note

  make a statement

  make a difference

  make a point

  make an appointment

  make a fuss

  make a profit/loss

  make an effort

  make a list

  make a sound

  [at the lost luggage department at an airport]

  We don’t use the preposition to in this pattern with make:

  We can use make meaning ‘force someone (to do something)’. In the active voice, we use it with an infinitive without to:

  However, in the passive voice, we must use an infinitive with to:

Comentários

• Gabarito B - Strategic competence is knowing how to recognize and repair communication breakdowns, how to work around gaps in one’s knowledge of the language, and how to learn more about using the language in specific contexts. Strategic competence asks: How do I know when I’ve misunderstood or when someone has misunderstood me? What do I say then? How can I express my ideas if I don’t know the name of something or the right verb form to use? What strategies can I use to manage and increase my sociolinguistic and discourse competence?

  Discourse competence is knowing how to interpret the larger context and how to construct longer stretches of language so that the parts make up a coherent whole. Discourse competence asks: How are words, phrases and sentences put together to create conversations, speeches, email messages, newspaper articles?

  Sociolinguistic competence is knowing how to use and respond to language appropriately, given the setting, the topic, and the relationships among the people communicating. Sociolinguistic competence asks: Which words and phrases fit this setting and this topic? How can I express a specific attitude (courtesy, authority, friendliness, respect) when I need to? How do I know what attitude another person is expressing?

  Linguistic competence is knowing how to use the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of a language. Linguistic competence asks: What words do I use? How do I put them into phrases and sentences?
