Exercises preview

  1. Exercise 1

    matching
    • mãemother / mom
    • paifather / dad
    • irmãobrother
    • irmãsister

    'Mother' and 'father' are neutral. 'Mom' / 'dad' (or 'mum' in UK English) are affectionate, like 'mãe' / 'pai' in Brazilian Portuguese.

    🇧🇷 'Mom' e 'dad' têm o mesmo tom de 'mãe' e 'pai' — informais e carinhosos.

  2. Exercise 2

    multiple choice

    My father's brother is my…

    • nephew
    • cousin
    • uncleanswer
    • grandfather

    Father's brother OR mother's brother = UNCLE. His wife = aunt.

    🇧🇷 Tio = uncle. Tia = aunt.

  3. Exercise 3

    multiple choice

    Your grandmother's daughter (who isn't your mother) is your…

    • cousin
    • niece
    • auntanswer
    • sister

    Your grandmother has daughters — one is your mother, the others are your AUNTS.

    🇧🇷 Filha da sua avó que não é sua mãe = sua tia (aunt).

  4. Exercise 4

    matching
    • myI
    • youryou
    • hishe
    • hershe

    Possessive adjectives match the owner, not what's owned. 'Maria is his sister' (Maria is the sister of HIM — a male).

    🇧🇷 'His' = dele (dono masculino). 'Her' = dela (dona feminina). O sexo é do DONO, não do objeto.

  5. Exercise 5

    fill blank

    Complete: 'Paul is tall. ___ sister is short.'

    Paul is male → we use HIS. 'His sister' = the sister of Paul (a male).

    🇧🇷 Paul é homem → 'His sister' (a irmã dele).

  6. Exercise 6

    fill blank

    Complete: 'Anna is a teacher. ___ students love her.'

    Anna is female → HER students.

    🇧🇷 Anna é mulher → 'Her students' (os alunos DELA).

  7. Exercise 7

    multiple choice

    What's the plural of 'child'?

    • childs
    • childes
    • childrenanswer
    • childrens

    CHILD → CHILDREN is an irregular plural. 'Two children', never 'two childs'.

    🇧🇷 Plural irregular: child → children. Nunca 'childs'.

  8. Exercise 8

    multiple choice

    'My parents' means…

    • My relatives
    • My mother and fatheranswer
    • My brothers and sisters
    • My grandparents

    PARENTS = mother + father only. 'Relatives' (parentes) is the broader word.

    🇧🇷 Atenção! 'Parents' em inglês = APENAS pai e mãe. 'Parentes' (família ampla) = 'relatives'.
