This document discusses conditional sentences and the use of "were" in the past tense when using conditional sentences. It provides examples of conditional sentences using "were" for all subjects ("if I were rich", "if you were rich", etc.). It also includes the lyrics of the Beyoncé song "If I Were a Boy" as a real-world example of using conditionals.
Conditional
- 1. Conditionals
- 2. Usamos as sentenças condicionais para expressar situações hipotéticas, ou seja, situações que possam vir a acontecer.
- 3. Sabe-se que o passado do verbo “to be” (“am”, “is” e “are”) é “was” para “am” e “is” e “were” para “are” . No entanto, em se tratando de sentenças condicionais, usa-se “were” para todas as pessoas, como nos exemplos:
- 4. If I were rich I would travel a lot. (Se eu fosse rico, eu viajaria muito). If you were rich you would travel a lot. (Se você fosse rico, você viajaria muito). If she were rich she would travel a lot. (Se ela fosse rica, ela viajaria muito). If we were rich we would travel a lot. (Se nós fossemos ricos, nós viajaríamos muito). If they were rich they would travel a lot. (Se eles fossem ricos, eles viajariam muito).
- 5. Read this Beyoncé liric such as an exemple:
- 6. If I Were a Boy Beyoncé If I were a boy even just for a day I'd roll out of bed in the morning And throw on what I wanted And go drink beer with the guys And chase after girls I'd kick it with who I wanted And I'd never get confronted for it 'Cause they stick up for me If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man
- 7. I listen to her 'Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cause he's taking you for granted And everything you had got destroyed If I were a boy I would turn off my phone Tell everyone it's broken So they'd think that I was sleeping alone I'd put myself first And make the rules as I go 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful Waiting for me to come home, to come home
- 8. If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man I'd listen to her 'Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cause he's taking you for granted And everything you had got destroyed It's a little too late for you to come back Say it's just a mistake Think I'd forgive you like that If you thought I would wait for you You thought wrong
- 9. But you're just a boy You don't understand And you don't understand, oh How it feels to love a girl Someday you wish you were a better man You don't listen to her You don't care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted 'Cause you're taking her for granted And everything you had got destroyed But you're just a boy
