Verbos Irregulares em Inglês

Imagem
Embora os verbos irregulares se constituam numa pequena minoria em relação a todos os verbos existentes na língua, a frequência com que ocorrem é muito alta, o que lhes dá uma importância significativa. São todos de origem anglo-saxônica e se referem predominantemente a ações comuns. Os verbos irregulares do inglês são aqueles verbos que não seguem a regra geral de formação do Passado e do Particípio Passado. A formação do  Past  e do  Past Participle,  de acordo com a regra geral, que se aplica a todos os demais verbos, se dá através do sufixo  - ed . Portanto, todo verbo que não seguir este padrão, será classificado de irregular. Abaixo vai uma lista de Verbos Irregulares e depois exercicios e  games para treinar: Exercícios on line: http://www.web-esl.com/Grammar/irregpast1.htm http://www.web-esl.com/Grammar/irregpast2.htm http://www.web-esl.com/Grammar/irregpast3.htm http://www.web-esl.com/Grammar/irregpast4.htm http://www.web-esl.com/Grammar/irregpast5.htm http://ww

Mapa mental verbos modais

All the auxiliary verbs except be, do and have are called modals. Unlike other auxiliary verbs modals only exist in their helping form; they cannot act alone as the main verb in a sentence. Be, do, and have also differ from the other auxiliaries in that they can also serve as ordinary verbs in a given sentence. The modal verbs are:- CAN / COULD / MAY / MIGHT / MUST / SHALL / SHOULD / OUGHT TO / WILL / WOULD  Modal Example Uses Can They can control their own budgets. We can’t fix it. Can I smoke here?
