Language changes all the time. Even though grammar changes more slowly than vocabulary, it is not a set of unalterable rules. There are sometimes disagreements about what is correct English and what is incorrect. 'Incorrect' grammar is often used in informal speech. Does that make it acceptable? John Eastwood, author of Oxford Guide do English Grammar says: "Where there is a difference between common usage and opinions about correctness, I have pointed this out." This information is important for learners. In some situations, it may be safer for them to use the form which is traditionally seen as correct. The use of a correct form in an unsuitable context, however, can interfere with understanding just as much as a mistake. To help learners to use language which is appropriate for a given occasion, students must know that there are usages as formal, informal, literary and so on.

Only one alternative has no grammatical error. Which is it?

• A. Oxford is an university where many students dream to study.
• B. They drive to the office yesterday.
• C. I've broken my watch last week so I don't know what time it is.
• D. He’s got some homework.
• E. She’s got any job since last year.

Comentários

• Corrigindo as alternativas:

  A) Errado: Oxford is an university where many students dream to study.

  Certo: Oxford is a university where many students dream to study.

   

  O “u” em university tem o som de uma consoante “y”: “yooniversity”

  Portanto, é "a university".

   

  Mais precisamente é o fonema /j/ na língua inglesa.

   

  B) Errado:They drive to the office yesterday.

  Certo:They drove to the office yesterday.

   

  Visto que existe na frase a time expression “yesterday”, não tem como a frase ficar no simple present o correto seria simple past.

   

   

  C) Errado: I've broken my watch last week so I don't know what time it is.

  Certo: I broke my watch last week so I don’t know what time it is.

   

  Visto que existe na frase a time expression “last week”, não tem como a frase ficar no present perfect o correto seria simple past.

   

  D) Gabarito

   

  E) Errado: She’s (has) got any job since last year.

  Certo: She’s (has) got no job since last year.

   

  “Any” enfatiza o significado negativo em frases negativas.

   

  “No” enfatiza o significado negativo em frases positivas.

   

  Então, como a frase está positiva, o correto seria usar “no”.
