🔍 20 Pegadinhas EEAR (Aeronavegantes & Não Navegantes) — VERB TENSES — 🏛️ B3GE™

A EEAR tem um perfil muito característico:

✔ 1. Ações habituais vs. ações do momento

Ela mistura Simple Present e Present Continuous no mesmo enunciado para fazer o candidato cair no automático.

✔ 2. Present Perfect: a queridinha absoluta

Especialmente experiência, duração e recentidade.
A banca ama colocar “yesterday”, “last week”, “two years ago” para te fazer errar.

✔ 3. Condicionais com tempos quebrados

EEAR adora:
• if + will (ERRADO)
• second conditional com “was”
• 3rd cond. misturado com 2nd

✔ 4. Interrupção no passado

Past Continuous + Simple Past → EEAR usa em 90% das provas.

✔ 5. Confusão entre futuro “por evidência” e futuro “por opinião”

“going to” vs “will” — a banca explora isso o tempo todo.

✔ 6. Backshift em Reported Speech

Ela coloca verbos que parecem não precisar de mudança… mas precisam.
