Afirmativas
O Simple Conditional serve para formar frases no futuro do pretérito, para isso usamos o auxiliar Would, precedido pelo sujeito e seguido pelo verbo na forma normal: - I would like to study (eu gostaria de estudar)
- She would say (ela diria)
Interrogativas
Apenas trocar o Would e o sujeito de lugar para tornar as frases interrogativas:
- What would I like to study? (o que eu gostaria de estudar?)
- Would she say? (ela diria?)
Negativa
Apenas adicionar o NOT após o Would:
- I would not (wouldn't) like to study (eu não gostaria de estudar)
- She would not say (ela não diria)

Question Tag

 

 

Question tags são pequenas perguntas que vêm no final das frases com o intuito de questionar/confirmar algo. São regras gerais:

* As question tags devem vir sempre após vírgulas;
* Para defini-las é necessário antes de tudo perceber em que tempo verbal se encontra a oração principal, para assim saber qual auxiliar deverá ser usado no question tag.
* Se a oração principal estiver na afirmativa, o question tag deverá vir na forma negativa. Mas se a oração principal estiver na negativa o question tag deverá vir na forma afirmativa.

You like to dance, don’t you? (Você gosta de dançar, não gosta)?
          //                    //
oração principal  question tag

No exemplo acima, a frase se encontra no presente simples, na forma afirmativa. Sabe-se que os auxiliares do presente são: do/does. Como o sujeito da frase é “you” devemos utilizar o “do” no question tag.
They didn’t send us letters, did they? (Eles não nos enviaram cartas, enviaram?).
She loves pizza, doesn’t she? (Ela ama pizza, não ama?).
Anne called you last week, didn’t she? (Anne te ligou semana passada, não ligou?).
Bob is going to travel to Japan next year, isn’t he? (Bob irá viajar para o Japão no próximo ano, não irá?).
Janet will buy a car this year, won’t she? (Janet comprará um carro este ano, não comprará?).
Quando houver verbos anômalos (can, could, might) na oração principal, esses verbos também deverão ser utilizados na construção dos question tags.
You can speak French, can’t you? (Você pode/consegue falar Francês, não pode/consegue)?
He couldn’t swim when he was 5 years old, could he? (Ele não podia/conseguia nadar quando ele tinha 5 anos de idade, podia/conseguia)?
