E quando eu tenho adjetivos longos por exemplo “the more I study, the more intelligent I get” minha dúvida é se é necessário o uso do “the na segunda oração (the more intelligent)
Olá, Alexia
Sim. O correto é colocar o ‘the’ na segunda também. ‘The…the…’ é a forma ou estrutura correta.
Right away I am going away to do my breakfast,
later than having my breakfast coming again to read additional news.
The more money you have, rhe richer you get? Is that right?
Oi Ná,
Thanks for your comment. Just the last one. I’d say: The more I learn, the closer I get to my goal.
Good job!
The older you get, the more you need care!
The more money you have, the richier you become!
The more I learn,the nextier i am to my goal!!
ta certooo???
Oi Wallace, a explicação é… a língua é assim. The sooner, the better… essa é a expressão que significa quanto mais cedo melhor. Tem muita, muita coisa q não dá pra traduzir literalmente. Inglês e Português tiveram origens diferentes, por isso tem mtas estruturas diferentes.
Ana, a minha dúvida sobre o THE é em relaçao ao seu significado.
Eu fiquei confuso devido ao uso dele como “Quanto”. Quando comecei a ver o artigo, pensei que as respostas fossem com “How MUCH”, ou seja, o uso do HOW MUCH ao invés do THE com este significado. O que gostaria que comentasse é este significado do THE.
Obrigado!
Hi Rick, thanks for stopping by and for the explanation. Super!
The older you get, more white hair you get. (IS it right?)
The more money you have, the more things you can byu.
The more I learn, the easier to understand facts.
Some common uses would be:
“The older you get, the better you look.”
This sentence would mean that people are like fine wine, they improve with age.
“The more money you have, the more money you spend”
This sentence would mean that the amount of money you spend always rises to match the amount of money you have.
“The more I learn, the less I know”
This last sentence would mean that the more you learn, the more you come to realize how many things there are that you don’t know.
Hi Wallace…. using “these” and “those” depends on your point of view. For example, if I have some apples in my hands, I would say “These apples are very red”. If I am looking at some apples that are on a table that is farther away from me, I would say “Those apples are very red”.
So, if I go back to your question about “phrases”, you would write “Those phrases…” because the phrases are not part of what you have written. Someone else wrote them, and you are just asking a question about them. If you had actually written the phrases, you would use “These phrases….”
Oi Magda! Thanks! É legal “ouvir” a língua, não?
Oi Wallace – não entendi bem: vc quer saber sobre o THE? Faça uma busca no site por “artigo definido THE” pois tem dica sobre isso.
THESE, na maior parte do tempo, pode ser traduzido como “estas” – a frase que a Ira usou pode ser traduzida como
“Quando eu as vi antes, não entendi ‘estas’ frases.”
Por que ela usou “estas” e não “aquelas”? Por que o estas fez mais sentido pra ela nesse caso. Foi essa a dúvida, ou era outra coisa?
Hi, Ana.
I would like to know about the use of the word “THE” in this sentences. When I saw them earlier I didn’t understand these phrases. Could you explain us, please? Here, I have another question about the use of “these”. Should I write “these” or “those” phrases ?
Thanks.
Hi Williker, thank you very much for your reply. First sentence would be: the more FORGETFUL you get, ok?
Good job!
The older you get, the more forget you get (is it right?)
The more money you have, the more money you spend.
The more I learn, the more I understand.
I love when you speak in the Podcasts. …lol
The older you get, the beautiful you look. (or would be ‘‘more beautiful you look”?)
The more money you have, the more money you want.
The more I learn, the more I speak English.
