Cap 13

1. Performing Arts

   • Performance arts move through time. This means that unlike our appreciation of other art forms such as books or paintings, we do not have the luxury of staring at a section of performance for a long time nor returning to it. This is because it keeps moving, never staying the same from minute to minute

2. Question Tag

   • Quando parte principal da frase é afirmativa, a question tagé negativa, e vice-versa
     • Actors need to go to college, don't they?
     • You are not a professional dancer, are you?
   • As question tags são formadas por um verbo auxiliar e um pronome pessoal.
     • Keith doesn't take acting classes during the day, does he?
   • O tempo verbal da parte principal da frase é sempre o mesmo da question tag, ou seja, o verbo auxiliar deve ser condizente com esse tempo verbal.
     • Boys didn't use to be accepted as ballet dancers, did they? → Past Simple
     • You haven't been to the theater this year, have you? > Present Perfect
   • Quando há um modal verb na parte principal, este também é utilizado na question tag.
     • You can't dance, can you?
     • He should start his acting classes, shouldn't he?
   • Quando houver "I am" na parte principal da frase, a question tag será "aren't 1?"
     • I'm a great supporter of your art, aren't 1?
