Oi! Tenho verificado que as placas de avisos são com o "ing" no final. Por exemplo: "no smoking". Não poderia ser "smoke"? Outro que vi foi "employees must wash hands before returning to work". Porque não pode ser "return" ou "to return"  Valeu!! |

Hi ciro ! No primeiro exemplo que citou, "No smoking", é uma das maneiras do imperativo como proibição. Teríamos que dizer " Don't smoke." para o verbo ficar em sua forma base, pois no primeiro caso "smoking" está na função de um substantivo, mas as duas formas podem ser utilizadas normalmente. No segundo exemplo citado, "Employees must wash hands before returning to work.", o verbo está no gerúndio (-ing) por causa da preposição " before". No entanto, nada impede que diga: "Employees must wash hands before they return to work.", pois neste caso foi citado o sujeito da frase " they". Outros exemplos: - Check your luggage before travel ing. - Check your luggage before you travel. - Check out your documents when travel ing abroad. - Check out your documents when you travel abroad. I hope it helps.  Best Regards, |

in my honest opnion I prefer just used to new words, phrasal verbs or whatever. I prefer to understan exemplo min your head, mind the gap or mind your step just like it means in a strange culture like usA or UK. in my opnion grammar is very very very boring, I never study grammar, it means i never do my homework. at least i study alone at home and I control what I want to make focus. What do you like best? grammar or speak, or to talk or to understand what you are hearing in an american movie? Of course if you understand nothing about grammar it will move likely do you make mistakes like he have, or she have, but I am speaking about to know little things ABOUT RULES in a second language like English. Five months ago I was just trying to have fun at home with my movies, english lessons, books in english, but everything changes, that all changes when you figure out one, two, three one hundred, five hundred new phrases in english and it makes sense to you, you cant to understand, speak and use this new phrases, Five months ago my vocabulary was very short, but now its is a work in progress, I just study phrases, never more words by words or gramar, it makes me haveing fun and five months ago it would be impoosible to me. I know I have a lot of mistakes writing but I will not to alow it be a murral behind me and my dreams, i got a dream and know I have a dream, First i like to study english now and why. i discoverd a new way and it s work to me. Thanks guys for your help and my expirence is to learn in english about two hours with an american, it was begginer conversation but she said me that I have a smoth acent and i could figure out what she said to me. 80 per cent that I know now I learned in five months
