Quando estamos aprendendo inglês, um aspecto importante são as respostas curtas. Na língua inglesa, diferentemente do português, é comum usar respostas curtas que economizam palavras mas ainda assim transmitem a mensagem completa. Isso acontece em situações informais e também formais, tornando-se uma parte essencial da fluência no idioma.
Estes exercícios de gramática estão focados em auxiliar você a praticar as respostas curtas em inglês. Você preencherá as lacunas com a palavra correta para completar a resposta de forma concisa. Isso ajudará a fortalecer sua capacidade de comunicação ao fornecer respostas rápidas e diretas durante uma conversa.
