Em 'Luke and I clean the house every weekend', a ordem sujeito-verbo-objeto-expressão de tempo está correta. As outras alternativas têm a ordem errada. B) O advérbio 'very much' não pode separar verbo e objeto; o correto é 'enjoyed the party very much'. C) 'always' vem antes do verbo principal: 'We always have to wait'. D) 'both' vem depois do sujeito e antes do verbo: 'My parents are both...'. E) O lugar vem antes do tempo: 'going to South Africa on Saturday'. Referência: Gramática da língua inglesa: word order. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Information, luck e bread são incontáveis. Os três substantivos de C são incontáveis. Nas demais alternativas aparece ao menos um substantivo contável. A) 'children' é o plural de 'child' (contável). B) 'umbrella' é contável. D) 'job' é contável. E) 'suggestion' é contável. Referência: Gramática da língua inglesa: substantivos contáveis e incontáveis. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Genitivo: 'Tomorrow's meeting' é correto. O genitivo com 's pode ser usado com expressões de tempo, como 'tomorrow's meeting'. A frase E está correta. A) Para posse conjunta usa-se um só 's: 'Mark and Kate's house'. B) 'He hates him' ficou ambíguo e incoerente; o correto seria 'He hates them'. C) O plural irregular 'women' leva 's ('Women's'), e 'too much expensive' está errado, pois seria 'too expensive'. D) O sujeito é 'wedding' (singular), então o verbo deve ser 'was'. Referência: Gramática da língua inglesa: caso possessivo. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível There to be no passado singular: 'there was'. A frase original está no passado simples ('occurred... yesterday') e 'a riot' é singular. Logo a forma correta é 'There was a riot...'. A) está no presente. C) usa o present perfect, que não combina com 'yesterday'. D) está no futuro. E) usa 'were' (plural) com substantivo singular. Referência: Gramática da língua inglesa: there to be. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Preposição de tempo: não se usa 'on' antes de 'next'. Expressões com 'next', 'last', 'this' e 'every' não levam preposição. O correto é 'Will you go out next Saturday?'. Por isso C é a incorreta. A) 'in the morning' está correto. B) 'on' é usado com datas completas. D) 'at the weekend' é correto, sobretudo no inglês britânico. E) 'in October' está correto, pois 'in' é usado com meses. Referência: Gramática da língua inglesa: preposições de tempo (at/on/in). Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Quantificadores: many + substantivo contável plural. 'Problems' é contável no plural, então 'many' é o quantificador correto. A frase E está correta. A) 'little' é usado com incontáveis; o correto seria 'few friends'. B) 'few' é usado com contáveis, mas 'free time' é incontável; o correto seria 'little free time'. C) 'too much' é usado com incontáveis; o correto seria 'too many people'. D) 'many' é usado com contáveis, mas 'money' é incontável; o correto seria 'much money'. Referência: Gramática da língua inglesa: quantificadores (many/much/few/little). Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível A sequência correta é been / have never / has lived / help. 'Have you ever been to' usa o particípio 'been'. 'I have never been there' coloca 'never' entre o auxiliar e o particípio. 'My friend Josh' é singular, então 'has lived'. Depois de 'can', usa-se o infinitivo sem 'to': 'help'. B) Errada: 'never have' e 'have lived' (com Josh) estão incorretos. C) Errada: 'be' não é o particípio e 'helping' não segue 'can'. D) Errada: 'be', 'haven't never' (dupla negação), 'have lived' e 'helps' estão incorretos. E) Errada: 'haven't never' é dupla negação e 'helps' não segue 'can'. Referência: Gramática inglesa: present perfect e verbos modais. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível Gabarito disponível A frase D usa corretamente os artigos com nomes de lugares. Cidades como London não levam artigo, e 'the British Museum' leva 'the'. Por isso 'I went to London and visited the British Museum last year' está correta. A) Errada: oceanos levam 'the' ('The Atlantic Ocean'). B) Errada: 'Mexico' não leva 'the'. C) Errada: falta 'the' antes de 'north' ('in the north of Brazil'). E) Errada: 'the United Kingdom' leva 'the'. Referência: Gramática inglesa: uso de artigos com nomes próprios.

A frase informa quem foi visto: Doutor Hill, em um ponto de ônibus na quarta-feira passada. A pergunta que tem como resposta natural 'We saw Doctor Hill' é 'Which doctor did you see - Doctor John or Doctor Hill?'. A) Errada: pergunta sobre a última vez que foi de ônibus ao trabalho. B) Errada: está no presente habitual e fala de quartas-feiras em geral. C) Errada: pergunta a duração do trajeto até o trabalho. E) Errada: pergunta o motivo de Doctor Hill ir trabalhar, o que não se relaciona à frase. Referência: Question words e past simple em inglês. Resolução comentada do VaiConcursos. Gabarito disponível A sequência correta é want / stay / gives. 'The Marines' é sujeito plural, então usa-se 'want'. Depois de 'an effort to' vem o infinitivo, 'stay'. 'The America-class ship' é singular, então o verbo é 'gives' no presente simples, coerente com 'has been in service'. A) Errada: 'wants' não concorda com 'Marines', e 'has given' não se encaixa na sequência. B) Errada: 'stays' depois de 'to' está incorreto. C) Errada: 'wants', 'stayed' e 'give' estão incorretos.

Everything to Know About the Beijing Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony took place on Feb. 4 in a world that has changed dramatically since the last time the Chinese capital held the Olympic Games.
The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics marked China's "coming out" as a global superpower. One third of the world tuned in to the $100 million event. Some 15,000 performers participated in a production that showcased the best of Chinese history and culture. An estimated 91,000 people, including U.S. President George W. Bush and other world leaders, attended the event, which Steven Spielberg had called the "grandest spectacle of the new millennium."
Here's what you need to know about the 2022 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.
When is the 2022 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony?
The opening ceremony for the 2022 Winter Games is on Feb. 4. The Beijing Olympics' formal opening began at 7:30 p.m. China Standard Time - or 6:30 a.m. ET and 3:30 a.m. PT.
What happened at the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony?
Beijing's organizing committee assured a "simple, safe and splendid" staging of the Winter Games during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the opening ceremony will reflect that theme.
Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou, who directed the spectacular launch of the 2008 Summer Olympics, returned for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremony. He promised a "different and unique" opening this time around in an interview with state-run news outlet Xinhua: "China's status in the world, the image of the Chinese and the rise of our national status - everything is totally different now." With a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes and some 3,000 performers joining, the ceremony was scaled down from 2008's extravaganza due to cold weather and the pandemic. It was still held at the National Stadium, dubbed the "Bird's Nest," and Zhang promised an "innovative" cauldron-lighting that will echo China's thrust towards environmental protection.
Who is attending the Winter Olympics this year?
Some 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are attending the Winter Games in China, close to figures of participating athletes in Sochi, Russia in 2014 and Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018.
How will China minimize COVID-19 infections during the Winter Olympics?
The Zero COVID policy is the cornerstone of the Beijing Olympics anti-epidemic playbook published last December. China will manage athletes and other inbound participants under a "closed-loop" system. Athletes, coaches and the media will only be allowed to visit designated Olympics venues using special transportation that is separate from Beijing's 21.5 million people. The three zones of Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou will have their own closed loop systems - barring those inside from having any contact with the wider Chinese population. To transfer from one closed loop system to another, they must take designated trains, or travel on assigned buses which will ply specific routes.

The Positive and Negative Effects of Technology on Your Life
As a society, we've come a long way with the help of technology. But is it all rainbows and sunshine? Technology is around us everywhere, from simple devices like our smartphones, laptop, and TV to background tech that we don't even notice. Once we get the hang of using tech the right way, it can improve our lives and make our lives better. On the other hand, tech can also make our lives harder. Whether technology has a positive or negative effect on our lives, it all depends on how we use it. So, let's look at some of the positive and negative aspects of technology in our lives, shall we?
Positives of Technology in Our Lives
1. Technology Boosts Business
Many new tech advancements and innovations are made by and for businesses. Why? Because companies are always looking to upgrade their products and services for profit. The purpose is to boost business and make the daily management of enterprises more systematic, structured, and successful.
2. Technology Makes Shopping Online Possible
Advancements in tech have made it easier and cheaper for more people to access the internet. Currently, most people prefer to shop online without leaving the house because of its sheer convenience.
3. Technology Has Advanced Education
One of the most downplayed areas of technology that has dramatically improved over the past few years is education. A few examples include the availability of online courses, accessibility of web seminars, and unlimited online resources for research. Before tech, you'd have to physically go to class, attend a meeting or go to the library to do research. Now, education is easier for everyone, no matter where you live.
4. Technology Makes Everyday Life Better
Tech has made an immensely positive impact on the daily lives of everyday people. Some positive examples include improvements in the transportation system and household items.
Negatives of Technology in Our Lives
1. Technology Causes Health Problems
Apart from creating unhealthy sleeping patterns, electronic devices can cause digital eye strain, poor posture, and increased inactivity, leading to health problems like obesity.
2. Technology Creates Job Insecurity
Job loss and downsizing are two significant adverse effects of technology. Because of advances in the tech field such as AI integration, automating and accomplishing tasks have become easy.
3. Tech Products Lack Longevity
Technology grows incredibly quickly, so the digital devices and gadgets that we use have a short lifespan and become outdated in a matter of months. These pieces of tech can be pushed aside by newer.
4. Technology Spawns Misinformation and Fake News
The spread of misinformation and fake news online is nothing new. However, with all the developments that happen so frequently in technology, it has become harder to define what's true and what's not.
