>>2ª LACUNA:
- The housekeeper saw the birds laying eggs and then LYING down.

👍 Comentários e Gabarito E
>> "The paint is wet because he has just ended the picture."
>> A tinta está úmida porque ele acabou de terminar o quadro.
- Geralmente, usamos o Presente Perfeito (has just ended) quando uma ação no passado tem um resultado ou efeito presente (A PINTURA ESTÁ TERMINADA MAS AINDA ESTÁ ÚMIDA).
- Usamos o Passado Simples (just ended) quando uma ação está apenas no passado, sem qualquer eco no presente.
- Portanto, no contexto (a tinta está úmida), cabe adequadamente o tempo verbal "Presente Perfeito" e não o "Passado Simples".
- DETALHE: Para ações muito recentes no passado, há uma diferença entre o inglês britânico e o inglês americano.
- Os falantes de inglês britânico tendem a usar o presente perfeito com JUST, enquanto os falantes americanos costumam usar o JUST com o passado simples.
- Um falante de inglês britânico escolheria "has just ended", enquanto um falante de inglês americano teria maior probabilidade de escolher "just ended".
>>JUST, YET, STILL e ALREADY com o "Present Perfect" → para enfatizar que ação verbal está relacionada ao momento presente.
>> JUST (com o Present Perfect):
>> JUST (com o Present Perfect):
1) SENTIDO: significa ''pouco tempo antes', para enfatizar que que algo acabou de acontecer.
2) USO GRAMTICAL: para enfatizar que que algo acabou de acontecer. Usado apenas em sentença e pergunta AFIRMATIVAS(+).
3) POSICIONAMENTO NA ORAÇÃO: Fica entre o verbo auxiliar (have/has) e o particípio passado.
- I've just seen Susan coming out of the cinema. (JUST = 'a short time before')
- Acabei de ver Susan saindo do cinema.
- Mike's just called. Can you ring him back, please?
- Mike acabou de ligar. Dá para você ligar de volta para ele, por favor?
- Have you just taken my pen?!
- Você acabou de pegar minha caneta?!
>> YET (com o Present Perfect):
1) SENTIDO: 'a qualquer momento até agora', para enfatizar que esperamos que algo aconteça em breve.
2) USO GRAMATICAL: Usado apenas em sentença e pergunta NEGATIVAS(-).
3) POSICIONAMENTO NA ORAÇÃO: no final da oração ou pergunta.
- >> Have you finished your homework yet? (YET = 'at any time up to now')
- Você já terminou sua lição de casa?
- >> I haven't finished it yet. I'll do it after dinner.
- Ainda não terminei. Farei isso depois do jantar.
- >> A: Where's Sam? B: He hasn't arrived yet!
- A: Onde está Sam? B: Ele ainda não chegou!
>> STILL (com o Present Perfect):
1) SENTIDO: significa que algo não aconteceu. Usamos para enfatizar que esperávamos que a coisa acontecesse mais cedo.
2) USO GRAMATICAL: usado SOMENTE em sentença NEGATIVA (-).
3) POSICIONAMENTO NA ORAÇÃO: entre o sujeito (the bus, they, etc.) e o verbo auxiliar (haven't / hasn't).
- >> She still hasn't replied to my email.
- Ela ainda não respondeu ao meu e-mail.
- >> I've been waiting for an hour and the bus still hasn't come.
- Estou esperando há uma hora e o ônibus ainda não chegou.
- >> They promised me that report yesterday but they still haven't finished it.
- Prometeram-me esse relatório ontem, mas ainda não o terminaram.
>> ALREADY (com o Present Perfect):
1) SENTIDO: significa ‘antes de agora’. Usamos para enfatizar que algo aconteceu antes de outra coisa ou antes do esperado.
2) USO GRAMATICAL: sentença (+ ou -).
3) POSICIONAMENTO NA ORAÇÃO: pode vir entre o verbo auxiliar e o verbo principal ou no final da oração.
- The train's left already! (ALREADY = before now)
- O trem já partiu!
- I've already spent my salary and it's two weeks before payday.
- Já gastei meu salário e faltam duas semanas para o dia do pagamento.
