Time to brush up on your Valentine's history!
Every February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering,"Who is St. Valentine"?
Time to brush up on your Valentine's history!
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed (1) marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree(2) just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions he had him put to death.(3)
Another legend says that Valentine was an imprisoned man(4) who fell in love(5) with his jailor's daughter.(6)Before he was put to death he sent the first 'valentine' himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it 'Your Valentine', words still used on cards today.
Perhaps we'll never know the true identity and story behind the man named St. Valentine, but this much is for sure...February has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating clear back to the Middle Ages. In fact, Valentines ranks second only to Christmas in number of greeting cards sent.
Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, "desire"). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous (7) boy who goes around wounding (8) both gods and humans with his arrows (9) , causing them to fall in love.

verbos modais -1
Os verbos modais (modal verbs) são uma classe de verbos que possuem características distintas dos “comuns”.
Fazem parte dessa classificação os seguintes verbos:
may, might, should, can, could, must, should, ought to, used to, to be used to.
Existem ainda aqueles que podem ser modais ou comuns, como é o caso do need e do dare.
Agora vamos conhecer as características que os torna tão “anormais”.
1 – não têm formas terminadas em -s, -ing ou -ed.
- She knows how to swim. (reparem o –s do verbo know)
- She can swim. (na regra comum o verbo conjugado na 3ª pessoa deveria ser seguido de -s)
- She can swim. (na regra comum o verbo conjugado na 3ª pessoa deveria ser seguido de -s)
2 – não podem ser utilizados um logo após o outro:
I like playing guitar (peceba que o verbo like e play vêm seguidos)
You could should talk to me first. (esta forma está incorreta)
You could should talk to me first. (esta forma está incorreta)
3 – funcionam se fossem auxiliares nas frases interrogativas:
Can you swim? (perceba que a estrutura é a mesmo da pergunta com o auxiliar do)
4 – são seguidos de verbos no infinitivo, sem to, nas frases afirmativas:
I can drive.
You should pray more.
You should pray more.
5 – permitem-nos exprimir capacidade, possibilidade, permissão, obrigação, proibição, forte probabilidade, etc.:
He can play tennis. – Ele sabe jogar ténis. (capacidade)
She might come. – Ela pode vir. (possibilidade)
You may go. – Podes ir. (permissão)
You must study. – Tens de estudar. (obrigação)
You mustn’t smoke here. – Não podes fumar aqui. (proibição)
He must be tired. – Ele deve estar cansado. (forte probabilidade)
She might come. – Ela pode vir. (possibilidade)
You may go. – Podes ir. (permissão)
You must study. – Tens de estudar. (obrigação)
You mustn’t smoke here. – Não podes fumar aqui. (proibição)
He must be tired. – Ele deve estar cansado. (forte probabilidade)
6 – são por vezes chamados verbos defectivos devido a ausência de formas que os outros verbos possuem, como por exemplo, a forma no infinitivo. Nestes casos, recorrem-se a outros verbos, como por ex: be able to em vez de can:
I’ll be able to give you an answer soon.
(Serei capaz de lhe dar uma resposta em breve.)
(Serei capaz de lhe dar uma resposta em breve.)
I won’t be able to do it for tomorrow.
(Não serei capaz de o fazer para amanhã.)
(Não serei capaz de o fazer para amanhã.)
He was able to open the door.
(Ele conseguiu abrir a porta.)
(Ele conseguiu abrir a porta.)
7 – Apenas quatro verbos modais têm a forma no passado, mas não são verdadeiramente verbos do passado:
Can – could
May – might
May – might
I hope that helps...
See you!
