Gostaria de falar um pouco do famoso dilema do ser ou no ser, mas esquecendo um pouco as questes existenciais levantadas por Shakespeare. Quando comeamos a aprender ingls um dos primeiros tpicos gramaticais inevitavelmente o famoso verbo to be e como em portugus ele tem mais de uma traduo nem sempre esse assunto bsico to bsico assim. Em portugus temos dois verbos, o ser e o estar, que correspondem ao verbo to be do ingls e isso pode muitas vezes gerar confuso. Vejamos alguns exemplos: I am Brazilian Eu sou brasileira. I am tired Eu estou cansada. H ainda a questo da forma de se falar a idade em portugus e em ingls. Em portugus ns temos uma idade: Eu tenho trinta anos. Em ingls ns somos uma idade, usando dessa forma o verbo to be. I am thirty years old. Essa pode parecer uma questo muito bsica mas na minha experincia como professora de alunos brasileiros j pude observar que muitas vezes alunos com ingls de nvel bom, com alguma fluncia ainda fazem o erro tpico de dizer: I have thirty years old. E R R A D O Outro erro comum que ocorre principalmente como o verbo to be us-lo sem o sujeito como fazemos em portugus, por exemplo: Est sol. muitas vezes ouvi brasileiros dizendo Is sunny, traduzindo ao p da letra, mas em ingls nunca temos uma frase sem sujeito e quando no h um sujeito definido usamos o it. Ento o certo seramos dizer: It is sunny. Esses so erros comuns, mas que podem, numa situao de entrevista de emprego, por exemplo, botar por gua abaixo tudo de bom que o entrevistado possa ter dito anteriormente. Ento, ateno ao uso do verbo to be e d uma polida no seu ingls.
