There are 12 zodiac signs, and each sign has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own
specific traits, desires and attitude towards life and people. By analyzing the projection of the
position of planets, and the Sun and the Moon on the Ecliptic at the moment of birth. Astrology
can give us a glimpse of a person's basic characteristics, preferences, imperfections and
fears.
Each of the 12 horoscope signs belongs to one of the four elements – Air, Fire, Water and
Earth. These four elements help describe the unique personality types associated with
astrological signs. The four zodiac elements exhibit profound influence on basic character
traits, emotions, behavior and thinking.

FIRE SIGNS -Fire signs tend to be passionate, dynamic, and temperamental. They

energy. They are physically very strong and are a source of inspiration for others. Fire

action. The Fire Signs are: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

EARTH SIGNS -Earth signs are “grounded” and the ones that bring us down to
earth. They are mostly conservative and realistic, but they can also be very
emotional. They are connected to our material reality and can be turned to material
goods. They are practical, loyal and stable and they stick by their people through
hard times. The Earth Signs

 Understanding the Present Simple
Present Simple – Repeated actions

X X X X X X X X x

PAST PRESENT FUTURE

O Present Simple expressa a ideia de que a ação é repetida ou frequente. A ação

pode ser um hábito, um hobby, um evento diário ou agendado, algo que ocorre com
frequência.

Examples:

I play tennis on Mondays.

Does Phill go to the cinema on the weekend? The train leaves every morning at 8
A.M.
Mary does not wash her teeth after breakfast.

Present Simple – Facts or generalizations

PAST PRESENT FUTURE

O Present Simple pode também indicar que o falante acredita que um fato era verdade
anteriormente, é verdade no presente, e será verdade no futuro. Não importa se o
falante está correto sobre o fato. Usa-se o Present Simple também para fazer
generalizações sobre pessoas ou coisas.

Examples:

Cats like milk.

Birds do not eat in restaurants.
Do pigs take a bath?
The sun rises in the east.
Water boils at 100 degrees centigrade.
Brazilian people speak Portuguese.
Every twelve months, the Earth circles the Sun.
 O infinitivo dos verbos é marcado pela partícula TO (ex: to dance, to cook,
to go). Ao se conjugar os verbos, não usamos o TO. Diferentemente do
português, o verbo só sofrerá mudança nas terceiras pessoas do singular
(he, she, it) e em sentenças afirmativas. Veja as tabelas a seguir:

AFFIRMATIVE
SUBJECT VERB OBJECT or ADVERB
I / You / We / They Live in Brazil.
watch films on TV.
study German and Spanish.
He / she / it lives (infinitive + S) in Brazil.
watches (infinitive + ES) films on TV.
studies (consonant + Y = -Y + IES) German and Spanish.
NEGATIVE

SUBJECT AUXILIARY + NOT VERB OBJECT or ADVERB

I / You / We / They do not (don’t) live in Brazil.

watch films on TV.
study German and Spanish.
He / she / it does not (doesn’t) live in Brazil.
watch films on TV.
study German and Spanish.
INTERROGATIVE

AUXILIARY SUBJECT VERB OBJECT or ADVERB

Do I / you / we / they live in Brazil?

watch films on TV?
study German and
Spanish?
Does he / she / it live in Brazil?
watch films on TV?

Spanish?
Some verbs are irregular: have, do, go and change in the third singular person.

I / you / we / they HAVE

he / she / it HAS

I / you / we / they DO
he / she / it DOES

I / you / we / they GO
he / she / it GOES

É obrigatório o uso dos auxiliares:

DON’T / DOESN’T) para a contrução das sentenças negativas

DO / DOES) para a contrução das sentenças interrogativas.

LESSON 1 – THE SIMPLE PAST

Past Simple – Completed actions in the past

O Past Simple expressa a ideia que ações começaram e terminaram em um tempo

específico no passado. Às vezes, o falante pode não mencionar esse tempo, mas há
um tempo especificado na mente.

Examples:
I saw a movie yesterday.
I didn't see a play yesterday. Last year, I traveled to Japan.
Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
Did you have dinner last night?
We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.
Did she speak English with the teacher?

O Past Simple é um tempo verbal simples, formado apenas por um verbo principal
flexionado na forma do passado (para todas as pessoas), e que faz uso do verbo
auxiliar (did) apenas nas formas interrogativas e negativas.

A flexão do verbo no passado será feita diferentemente para verbos regulares e

irregulares. Os verbos regulares recebem a terminação (-ed) para formar o
passado. Os irregulares devem ser memorizados, pois não trazem nenhuma lógica
em suas formações.

REGULAR VERBS
I visited
You visited
He visited
She visited
 IRREGULAR VERBS She went
I went
You went
You went
They went
He went

O verbo TO BE tem duas formas no past simple: was / were

LESSON 4 – READING

Jane Austen was an English novelist

whose books, set among the English
middle and upper classes, are
notable for their wit, social
observation and insights into the
lives of early 19th century

Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 in the village of Steventon in

Hampshire. She was one of eight children of a clergyman and grew up in a close-
knit family. She began to write as a teenager. In 1801 the family moved to Bath.
After the death of Jane's father in 1805 Jane, her sister Cassandra and their
mother moved several times eventually settling in Chawton, near Steventon.

Jane's brother Henry helped her negotiate with a publisher and her first novel,
'Sense and Sensibility', appeared in 1811. Her next novel 'Pride and Prejudice',
which she described as her "own darling child" received highly favorable reviews.
'Mansfield Park' was published in 1814, then 'Emma' in 1816. 'Emma' was
dedicated to the prince regent, an admirer of her work. All of Jane Austen's novels
were published anonymously.

In 1816, Jane began to suffer from ill-health, probably due to Addison's disease.
She travelled to Winchester to receive treatment, and died there on 18 July 1817.
Two more novels, 'Persuasion' and 'Northanger Abbey' were published
posthumously and a final novel was left incomplete.
