a) do, there were, exist
b) do, there were, exist
c) do, had, exist
d) does, there were, there are
e) does, there was, exists
Alternative d: does, there were, there are.
- The verb to make impersonal (which indicates time) is always conjugated in the 3rd person singular: Years ago.
- The same happens with the verb to have impersonal (which indicates time or which has the sense of "exist"): There were (existed) in this place trees and flowers.
- The verb to exist, in turn, is not impersonal. For that reason, he must agree with the subject: There are only weeds.

d) The harmful effects of chlorinated insecticides persist for a long time in the environment.
e) Phosphorus type pesticides have a high degree of toxicity.
Alternative c: Underdeveloped countries lack stricter legislation on pesticides.
Correction: Lack to underdeveloped countries stricter legislation on pesticides.

Change the order of the remaining prayers:
a) There are different types of insecticides that are harmful to human health today.
b) DDT-based crop protection products can cause serious liver damage.

e) Comment on each other; keep; reset; there will be; intervene.
Alternative d: Comment; keep; reset; there will be; intervene.
- The "if" particle is the subject's index of indeterminacy. In this case, the verb must be in the 3rd person singular: Comenta-se.
- The verb to maintain is in the 3rd person singular of the future subjunctive, whose form is to maintain: If the government maintains.
- The same happens with the verb repose, which in the 3rd person singular of the future of the subjunctive is repose. If the business community does not reset.
- The verb to exist impersonal (in this case, meaning "to exist") is always conjugated in the 3rd person singular: There will be serious problems.

question 5
(FGV) In the questions below, there are empty spaces. To fill them in, choose one of the following verbs: make, transpose, stop, go. Use the most suitable verb form.
a) If ___ cold days in winter, maybe things would be different.

e) If she ___ to the game tomorrow, she must pay the ticket in advance.
a) made: 3rd person plural of the imperfect past tense of the subjunctive. This is because, in this case, the verb "to do" does not indicate elapsed time. Since it is not impersonal, it must agree with the subject.
b) transpose: 3rd person singular from the future of the subjunctive.
c) transpusesse: 3rd person singular of the imperfect past tense of the subjunctive.
d) holds: 3rd person singular from the future of the subjunctive.
e) go: 3rd person singular present subjunctive.
question 6
(Fuvest) Indicate the correct alternative:
a) These were fundamental questions.
b) Land was purchased in the suburbs.
c) Typists are needed.
d) Reform suits.
e) The strict regulations were obeyed.
Alternative d: Reform suits.
In this case, the "if" particle is an passivating particle. It's like saying: Suits are reformed.
This also happens in alternative b), where the verb must agree with the subject: Land was bought in the suburb (same as: Land was bought in the suburb).
When the particle "if" is the subject's indeterminacy index, the verb must be in the 3rd person singular. This is what happens in: a) It was treated, c) It was necessary, e) It was obeyed.
question 7
(IFSP) Conversation presupposes a productive dialogue between people. It means to say that talking is a cooperative process between interlocutors.
Read the text below, which represents a conversation.
In the excerpt "we can have literary conversations", replacing the subject with another first-person plural, in the perfect past tense, the result is as follows:
a) we can have literary conversations
b) we could have literary conversations
c) we could have literary conversations
d) we were able to have literary conversations
e) we could have literary conversations
Alternative d: we could have literary conversations.
"We could" is the correct form for the 1st person plural of the verb can in the past perfect tense.
question 8
(Insper) Change the verb or close your mouth
Rita Lee sang a song that said "let the rest explode, like Bomba H. Is there an "explode" in the cultured language? Explodir is a defective verb, that is, it does not have complete conjugation. In the present tense, it must be conjugated from the second person singular (you explode, it explodes, etc.). Many people are unaware of the existence of defectives and "conjugate" them in all people.
(Pasquale Cipro Neto, http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/1996/10/10/fovest/8.html)
The alternative that exemplifies what was expressed in the last period is
a) There were difficulties in resolving the issue.
b) We will be happy if you remain calm.
c) It is necessary to make accounts so that the provision fits in the budget.
d) An entrepreneur judicially repossesses his property.
e) Police detained almost 60 fans in the vicinity of Morumbi.
Alternative d: Entrepreneur judicially repossesses his property.
The verb recover is defective, that is, it is not conjugated in certain people, tenses or moods.
The verbs to have, to maintain, to fit and to detain are irregular. This means that they undergo radical alteration.

a) provided, indisposed

- The verb provide is in the 3rd person singular of the perfect tense of the indicative, whose form is provided: The merchant again provided his store.
- The verb indispor is in the 3rd person singular of the imperfect past tense of the subjunctive, whose form is indisposse: Without indisposing with your creditors.

a) need, if, can
b) need if you can
c) you need, you can
d) you need, you can
e) need you can
a: need, if, can.
When there is a treatment pronoun, the verb must be in the 3rd person: (he/she) needs, (he/she) can.
The pronoun "se" corresponds to the 3rd person.
question 11
(UFMA) Indicate the alternative that adequately fills the gaps in the sentence:
“___ years that man asks himself: if not ___ fears, how ___ hopes?”
a) Does, if there were, would exist
b) Do, were, would exist
c) Does, had, would exist
d) Do, had, would exist
e) It does, if it were, it would exist.
Alternative to: Does, had, would exist.
- The verb to make impersonal (which indicates time) is always conjugated in the 3rd person singular: Years ago.
- The same happens with the verb to have impersonal (which indicates time or has the sense of "exist"): If there were no fears.
- The verb to exist, in turn, is not impersonal. For this reason, he must agree with the subject: How would there be hope.
question 12
(Fuvest) Complete the sentences below with the correct forms of the verbs indicated in parentheses.
a) When I ___ the books, I will never lend them again. (recover)
b) The alienated are always ___ neutral. (keep yourself)

b) There must be poets who think of the air disaster as the afterglow.
c) There may be poets who think of air disaster as the afterglow.
d) There may be poets who think of the air disaster as the afterglow.
e) There may be poets who think of the air disaster as the afterglow.
Alternative d: There may be poets who think of the air crash as the afterglow.
Along with an impersonal verb (in this case, the verb to have), the auxiliary verbs are also singular.
Correction:
The) It might have poets who think of the air crash as the afterglow.
and) Could have poets who think of the air crash as the afterglow.
The verb exist is not impersonal and, therefore, the auxiliary verb goes plural.
Correction:
B) must exist poets who think of the air crash as the afterglow.
ç) may exist poets who think of the air crash as the afterglow.
question 14
(UEPG) Check the incorrect alternative, according to the grammatical rule:
a) The United States, in 1941, declared war on Germany.
b) Those couples seemed to live happily.
c) We canceled the tour, having seen the bad weather.
d) More than one of the candidates greeted each other.
e) We had not seen the children who were eight years old.
Alternative c: We cancel the tour due to bad weather.
The expression is feminine (incidentally), so the correct thing would be to say: We canceled the tour, have a view the bad weather.
a) The verbs must agree with the articles that accompany the proper names. In this case, the verb declare is agreeing with the article "Os" of United States.
b) In verbal locutions (in this case, "it seemed to live") the main verb (to live) is in the verbal forms (in this case, it is in the personal infinity = to live). In turn, the auxiliary verb (seemed) must agree with the subject.
d) When we use the expression "more than" the verb must agree with the numeral. Example: More than one child became ill. However, to indicate reciprocity the verb must go plural. This is the case in the example above, where the verb indicates that the candidates greeted each other.
e) In this case, the verb to do is not impersonal, so it must agree with "children".
question 15
(Unifesp) “The Hatha yoga pradipika, sacred scripture of hatha yoga, written in the 15th century of the era current, says that, before venturing into the practice of austerity and moral codes, we must prepare. Self-control and discipline without adequate preparation ___ create more mental and personality problems than peace of mind. The beauty of this scripture is that it solves the big problem every beginner faces: mastering the mind.
Due to the ___ body approach, hatha yoga became known – mistakenly – as a category of yoga ___ works only the physical valences (strength, flexibility, endurance, balance and others), almost like gymnastics Eastern. This is not true".
(Science Today, July 2012. Adapted.)
According to the standard norm of the Portuguese language, the gaps in the text must be filled, respectively, with
a) can, at this, where
b) can, to this one, that
c) can, at that, which
d) can, that, with what
e) can, this, where
Alternative b: can, to that, that.
- They can: compound subjects formed by synonyms can be singular or plural. In this case, both forms are correct (self-control and discipline can or self-control and discipline can).
- To that: the verb "due" requires the preposition "a". Furthermore, before demonstrative pronouns there is no backquote.
- Que: the relative pronoun works as a connective.
- The word "where" indicates movement, so the only possible alternative is b).
question 16
(UFPR) Consider the following verb forms:
1. had received
2. had received
3. was receiving
4. would be receiving
In the sentence "All the news that day was written from documents that the newspaper's management will receive from the prosecutor's office”, the highlighted verbal form can be replaced, maintaining the temporal sense relationship and without prejudice to obedience to the cultured language, by:
a) 4 only
b) 1, 2 and 3 only
c) 3 and 4 only
d) 1 and 4 only
e) 1 and 2 only
Alternative e: 1 and 2 only.
"...that the direction of the newspaper had received of the Public Ministry"
"...that the direction of the newspaper had received of the Public Ministry"
The form "receiver" is conjugated in the past tense-more-than-perfect of the indicative, which indicates an action which occurred before another: the newspaper's management received the documents, then the news was written.
"Were receiving" indicates continuity and, in turn, "would be receiving" is a language addiction, a grammatical deviation.
question 17
(UFRGS) Read: “[I] said that competence was not such a relative thing, that they would be the same, to he and for me, the expectations about the competence that the cardiovascular surgeon should bring with him what..."
If we replaced “expectations” with “expectation”, how many other words would necessarily need to be adjusted for the purposes of agreement?
a) one
b) two
c) three
d) four
and five
Alternative d: four.
Check out the replacement of the words in bold below:
“[I] said that competence wasn't such a relative thing, that would be the same for him and for me, The expectation about the competence that the cardiovascular surgeon should bring with him..."
question 18

c) The strength of certain mechanisms ___ with which research in poor countries revolves around the interests of rich countries. (do)
d) ___ combining the ingenuity and skills of men to solve the specific problems of the community. (must)
e) Both scientific and technological development ___ must first take into account the cultural factor. (Light)
Alternative d: Men's ingenuity and skills must be combined to solve the specific problems of the community.
In verbal phrases (in this case, "should match") the main verb (combine) is in the verb forms. In turn, the auxiliary verb (should) must agree with the subject "man's ingenuity and abilities.
Correction of remaining sentences:
The) They exist, in fact, different reasons responsible for our technological dependence.
b) It is essential that Keep between scientific research and community aspirations a close link.
c) The strength of certain mechanisms does making research in poor countries revolve around the interests of rich countries.

question 19
(Fuvest) “I'm not the man you you search, but wanted see you, or, at the very least, possess the your portrait."

a) you seek to see yourself, yours
b) look for it, see it, your
c) look for, see it, yours
d) seek, see it, yours
e) do you seek to see yourselves, your
Alternative b: search, see her, hers.
Check the word replacement below:
“I am not the man that Your Excellency search, but wanted candle, or, at the very least, possess the your portrait."

Alternative to: knock, get fixed, there was.

Alternative to: hidden, there were, were detained.
