English pronunciation – Bad and Bed

Você pode dizer a diferença?

Hoje nós vamos aprender sobre a diferença na pronúncia americana entre as palavras bad e bed.

Para algumas pessoas essas palavras podem ter o mesmo som mas elas são ligeiramente diferentes entre si.

A primeira palavra, bad, é os dois, um adjetivo e um nome. Como um adjetivo quer dizer o oposto de bom (good) ou baixa qualidade.

A segunda palavra, bed, é os dois, um nome e um e um verbo. Como um nome quer dizer uma parte do móvel que a pessoa dorme.

A diferença entre estas duas palavras está em seus sons de vogais. A palavra bad tem o som AÉ. Enquanto bed tem som de É.

Deixe-me demonstrar como pronunciar estas palavras.

Agora eu vou lhe dar um teste. Eu escolherei uma das duas palavras e dizer três vezes. Por favor, ouça cuidadosamente e diga-me qual palavra eu estou pronunciando em seguida.

Eu espero que você tenha conseguido dizer a diferença e escolhido a palavra bed para sua resposta.

Nós temos outra questão para você. Eu vou ler a sentença duas vezes que contém uma das duas palavras. Sua tarefa é dizer para mim qual palavra eu estou usando na sentença.

Oops, sorry! My ___

A resposta é _____

Você escolheu a resposta correta?

A propósito, my bad quer dizer: erro meu, culpa minha. É gramaticalmente incorreto a frase com a palavra bad que é um adjetivo nesse caso, nom um nome (substantivo). Mas as pessoas usam essa frase em conversas casuais (informais), de qualquer forma.

English grammar – All or whole

All or whole?

Not holy

de English Grammar Today

All and whole are determiners.

We use them before nouns and with other determiners to refer to a total number or complete set of things in a group.

Compare

All the cast had food poisoning. They were forced to cancel the show.	all + determiner + noun
The whole cast had food poisoning. They were forced to cancel the show.	determiner + whole + noun

All my family lives abroad. or My whole family lives abroad.

We often use all and the whole with of the:

She complains all of the time. or She complains the whole of the time.

We use a/an with whole but not with all:

I spent a whole day looking for that book and eventually found it in a little old bookshop on the edge of town.

Not: … all a day …

 

All or whole for single entities

We use the whole or the whole of to refer to complete single things and events that are countable and defined:

The whole performance was disappointing from start to finish. (or The whole of the performance was disappointing …)

When we can split up a thing into parts, we can use either whole or all with the same meaning:

You don’t have to pay the whole (of the) bill at once.

You don’t have to pay all (of) the bill at once.

She ate the whole orange.

She ate all of the orange.

We often use the whole of with periods of time to emphasise duration:

We spent the whole (of the) summer at the beach.

All the with uncountable nouns

We use all the and not the whole with uncountable nouns:

She was given all the advice she needed.

Not: She was given the whole advice …

All the equipment is supplied.

 

All and whole with plural nouns

We usually use all the and all of the with plural nouns:

It’s funny when all the actors come in dressed up in their costumes.

She opens all the cupboard doors and doesn’t close them after her.

You have to try all of the activities.

When we use whole with plural nouns, it means ‘complete’ or ‘entire’.

Compare

Whole families normally shared one room in the nineteenth century.	entire families
All families normally shared one bedroom in the nineteenth century.	each and every family

 

All and whole: typical errors

• We don’t use all before a and an:

She ate a whole bar of chocolate in one go.

Not: She ate all a bar …

• We can’t omit the before whole with a singular noun:

We travelled throughout the whole country.

Not: … throughout whole country.

English Grammar – All or Every

all and every are determiners.

We use both all and every to refer to the total number of something. All refers to a complete group. Every refers to each member of a complete group:

The questionnaire was sent to all employees.

The questionnaire was sent to every employee.

We can use every to focus on each individual member.

Compare

All passengers must turn off their mobile phones.	refers to the whole group
Every passenger must turn off their mobile phone. (We use their instead of his or her to refer back to a singular noun (passenger) because we are referring to both male and female passengers.)	focuses on each individual member of the whole group

We can use all, but not every, on its own without a noun. We use everyone/everybody/everything instead:

The meeting is at Oriel Hall. It begins at 8 pm and all are welcome.

Not: … every is welcome

Everyone is welcome to join the village social club.

See also:

• Every

 All and every + nouns

The meaning of all and every is very similar but we use them in different ways. We use all with plural and uncountable nouns and every with singular nouns:

All donations will be sent to the earthquake relief fund.

All equipment must be returned by the end of June. (uncountable)

Every donation is appreciated.

We can use all and all of before determiners, but we don’t use every before determiners:

I invited all (of) my friends.

Not: … every my friends

All (of) the

We can use all and all of before articles (the, a/an), demonstratives (this, that) and possessives (our, his) but we can’t use every before them:

[talking about a library]

It has got all (of) the books that have ever been published.

Not: It has got every the book or It has got the every book

She’s gone to all (of) their concerts this year. She hasn’t missed one.

Not: … every their concerts

See also:

• All of

• All without of

 All day, every day

We use all day, all week, all month to mean ‘one entire day/week/month’:

We spent all day at the beach yesterday.

Every day (week/month) focuses on each individual day (week/month):

We spent every day at the beach in the holidays.

Not: We spent all days at the beach

Fuel prices are rising every week.

Not: Fuel prices are rising all weeks.

 All or every: typical errors

• We don’t use every before determiners:

He sold all (of) his books.

Not: … every his books.

• We don’t use every with uncountable nouns:

All (the) information can be saved in the computer memory.

Not: Every information can be saved …

• We don’t use every with plural nouns:

We should organise a trip for all students.

Not: … for every students

• We don’t use every on its own without a noun; we use everyone, everybody or everything instead:

He suggested cancelling the trip and everyone agreed.

Not: … every agreed
