Bruna: Welcome to inFlux Podcast!
Hello, guys. Today we’re very happy to be here and tell you about something nice and important in English, but first of all: this is our first inFlux Podcast.
Well, you might know me from the written posts, my name is Bruna and I’m here with my friend and colleague Douglas.
Alright, people. Before we start, listen to these phrases in Portuguese:
Douglas: Eu sempre estudei inglês.
Bruna: Eu sempre quis conhecer esse ator.
Douglas: Eu sempre gostei desse filme.
Bruna: Nós sempre moramos em Curitiba.
Douglas: Ela sempre foi malvada comigo.
All of the examples talk about something you’ve always done, for as long as you can remember. Or, as we would say in Portuguese, “desde que me conheço por gente”. Notice that the verbs are always in the past: estudei, quis, gostei, moramos, foi. In English, we can say that, the same thing, using the word ALWAYS and the Present Perfect (remember the verb in the past participle!)
Listen to some of our examples:
Douglas: I’ve always studied English. Eu sempre estudei inglês.
Bruna: I’ve always wanted to meet that actor. Eu sempre quis conhecer esse ator.
Douglas: I’ve always liked that movie. Eu sempre gostei desse filme.
Bruna: We’ve always lived in Curitiba. Nós sempre moramos em Curitiba.
Douglas: She’s always been mean to me. Ela sempre foi malvada comigo.
Bruna: So now, try to learn one phrase at a time and you’ll be able to create more of them as time goes by and keep in mind that: If you’re using the present perfect, remember this simple thing:
Douglas: I’ve (have) always means Eu sempre
You’ve (have) always means Você sempre
We’ve (have) always means Nós sempre
They’ve (have) always means Eles / elas sempre
She’s (has) always means Ela sempre
He’s (has) always means Ele sempre
Douglas: Hey, that’s pretty easy, huh? Do you guys want to check it out some more? Here we go:
Bruna: I’ve always told you he wasn’t good for you. Eu sempre te disse que ele não era bom pra você.
Douglas: They’ve always been good friends. Eles sempre foram bons amigos.
Bruna: I’ve always tried to play the guitar! Eu sempre tentei tocar violão!
Douglas: Thank you, guys, for listening and see you on our next Podcast!
Bruna: So, everybody, that’s it for today. We hope you’ve enjoyed our Podcast! Keep learning and count on us if you have any questions or doubts.
Douglas/Bruna: Bye!
