Lesson: Essentials/23

Grammar

Would

Would, assim como will e do, é um verbo auxiliar. Ele forma o tempo verbal que, em português, chamamos de futuro do pretérito simples.

De forma mais simples, podemos entender este tempo verbal como aquele que termina em ia.

Por exemplo, faria, gostaria, tentaria, levaria.

Ele expressa um futuro possível de um passado imaginário.

Porém, por enquanto, vamos aprender a usar este tempo verbal de uma forma bem específica. Ou seja, para expressar desejos e fazer pedidos de forma educada.

Examples

I would like to go to the movies. I would not like to travel today. Would you like to watch that movie?

Would you help me with my homework? Would you teach her the lesson, please? Would you go with me?

Forma

A forma do would é a mesma que a do will.

Affirmative sentences: Usamos o would antes do verbo que queremos modificar. Também podemos abreviar o would para 'd.

I would like to go to the movies.

I'd like to go to the movies.

Negative sentences: Usamos o would seguido de not antes do verbo que queremos modificar. Também podemos usar a contração wouldn't.

I would not like to travel today.

I wouldn't like to travel today.

Interrogative sentences: Usamos o would antes do sujeito.

Would you like to watch that movie?

Este verbo auxiliar não se modifica para he, she ou it.

Então, temos:

I would like to go to the movies.

He would like to go to the movies.

I wouldn't like to go to the movies.

She wouldn't like to go to the movies.
