Read the sentences and try to find the mistakes. Than write it correctly.
a) My cat are very cute and beautiful, I love it!
b) They are a really big and lovely family.
c) She is just like her mother are.
d) We's very proud of our brother!
e) Let's saw the game now!
Erradas: a), c), d) e e).
Corrigidas:
a) My cat is very cute and beautiful, I love it!
Na terceira pessoa, usa-se is, e não are.
c) She is just like her mother.
Nesse caso, a frase pode ficar como like her mother ou pode ser like her mother is, porque “mother” refere-se a “ela”, ou seja, terceira pessoa, então, usa-se “it”.
d) We are very proud of our brother!
O “is” é usado apenas para a terceira pssoa, ou seja, “he, she e it”. Para “we, they e you”, usa-se “are”.
e) Let's see the game now!
A frase estava com o verbo no passado (saw), mas a ação ocorre no presente.
