Question 1 - Analyze the following statements and mark the alternative in which the use of the verb “to come” is INCORRECT.
A) I have no memories of Buenos Aires, as I was very young when I came to live here in Brazil.
B) I just know that if someone comes to my house to tell me you were dishonest, I will never speak to you again.
C) We knew that, coming from an abuse situation, our adopted daughter needed all our affection.
D) The fact that Maria comes from the Northeast made her suffer a lot of prejudice here in the city of São Paulo.
E) I just came here to tell you that we can't go on like this anymore and that we should be happy apart.
Resolution
Alternative C. In the statement "We knew that, coming from an abuse situation, our adopted daughter needed all our affection", the use of the verb "to come" is incorrect, as it is in the past tense of perfect indicative. Thus, the correct form of this verb, in the personal infinitive, is: “We knew that, as a result of an abuse situation, our adopted daughter needed all our affection”.
Question 2 - Read the text below and fill in the blanks with the terms “vim” or “come”.
“I ______ here just to give you a warning. If I ______ you assaulting your girlfriend again, I will report you. I just don't do it now, because she doesn't want to. And don't think that the fact that you ______ of a wealthy family will stop me, for where I ______, my boy, right is right and wrong is wrong.”
The correct sequence for filling in the gaps is:
A) come, come, come, come.
B) I came, I came, I came, I came.
C) come, come, come, come.
D) come, come, come, come.
E) come, come, come, come.
Resolution
Alternative A. The correct sequence for filling in the blanks is “come, come, come, come”. Thus, in the first and last occurrences, we have the verb “to come” conjugated in the first person singular of the past perfect tense: “I came here” and “where I came from”. In the second occurrence, the verb “to see” is in the first person singular of the future of the subjunctive: “If I see you”. In the third occurrence, we can point out the personal infinitive of the verb "to come", in the third person singular, despite the subject of the verb being "you", a second person pronoun, but which has this kind of peculiarity: "the fact that you come over".
