To make a pun - Fazer um trocadilho

A paranomásia, também conhecida popularmente como trocadilho, é uma figura de linguagem (Figurative Language), na qual termos com sons parecidos são utilizados podendo comprometer a mensagem. 

Os trocadilhos são principalmente utilizados em contextos humorísticos e a paranomásia mais frequente é a CACOFONIA. 

Por isso a importância de conhecer bem os HOMOFONES (palavras com o mesmo som, porém com escritas e significados diferentes) e tomar cuidado com palavras de duplo sentido.

Exemplos em Português:

Na vida tudo passa, até uva-passa.

Exemplos em Inglês:

Writing with a broken pencil is pointless.

Escrever com um lápis quebrado é inútil / sem ponta.

The dead batteries were given out free of charge.

As baterias descarregadas foram dadas gratuitamente / sem carga.

A rule of grammar: double negatives are a no-no.
A regra da gramática: duplas negativas são um não-não / inadequado.

If Clauses

First Conditional

Utilizamos "first conditional" quando a condição impõe que se algo acontecer no presente, outra coisa acontecerá no futuro. 

Ex.:
If I win the lottery, I will be rich.
Se eu ganhar na loteria, serei rico.

Logo, temos a seguinte estrutura:
If + simple present + future sentence
If I win the lottery, I will be rich.

Second Conditional

Quando dizemos uma frase com o "second conditional", queremos dizer que se algo acontecesse, outra coisa aconteceria. Ou seja, há uma probabilidade não muito grande de que o caso descrito na oração ocorra.

Ex.:
If I knew her address, I would send her flowers.
Se eu soubesse o endereço dela, Eu a mandaria flores.

Neste caso, a estrutura muda para:
If     +    simple past   +   would   +   infinitive
If I knew her address, I would send her flowers.

Third Conditional

No caso de frases utilizando o "third conditional", não há probabilidade de ocorrer, pois se trata de uma oração onde dizemos que se algo tivesse acontecido, outra coisa também teria ocorrido.

Ex.:
If I had brought my umbrella, I wouldn't have to wait for the rain to stop.
Se eu tivesse trazido meu guarda-chuvas, I não teria que esperar a chuva parar.

Sendo assim, seguimos a estrutura abaixo:
If + past perfect + would have + infinitive
If I had brought my umbrella, I wouldn't have to wait for the rain to stop.

Comparatives

Comparative of Superiority (Comparativo de Superioridade)

Para dizer que um ser é superior a outro, utilizamos a estrutura "more+adjective+than" quando o adjetivo possui duas ou mais sílabas. 

Ex.:
Janny is more intelligent than Mary.
Janny é mais inteligente que Mary.

Paul is more talkative than John.
Paul é mais comunicativo que John.

Quando o adijetivo possui uma  síbala, deixamos de utilizar a estrutura anterior e somente adicionamos "er" ao adjetivo + than. Ex.:

The student is taller than the teacher.
O aluno é mais alto que o professor.

Carlos is shorter than me.
Carlos é mais baixo que eu.

Neste caso, quando o adjetivo terminar em "consoante+y", devemos retirar o "y" e adicionar "ier".

Ex.:
Beth is lazier than Chris.
Beth é mais preguiçosa que Chris.

Quando o adijetivo terminar em "consoante+vogal+consoante", duplicamos a ultima consoante e adicionamos "er". 

Ex.:
Janet is thinner than Alice.
Janet é mais magra que Alice.

This house is bigger than the mine.
Esta casa é maior que a minha.

Comparative of Inferiority (Comparativo de Inferioridade)
Para dizer que um ser é inferior a outro, utilizamos a estrutura "less+adjective+than". 

Ex:
Juliet is less serious than Daisy.
Juliet é menos séria que Daisy.

PS. Os adjetivos "good" e "bad" são exceções onde seus comparativos não se encaixam em nenhuma das regras acima. Sendo assim, temos "better" como comparativo de "good" e "worse" como comparativos de "bad". Ex.:

This cellphone is better than mine.
Este celular é melhor que o meu.

My laptop computer is worse than yours.
Meu notebook é pior que o seu.

Comparative of Equality (Comparativo de Igualdade)

Utilizamos a estrutura "as+adjective+as" quando queremos dizer que um ser possui uma igualdade quando comparado a outro. 

Ex.:
Paul is as intelligent as Jonny.
Paul é tão inteligente quanto Jonny.

Ricky is as tall as Britney.
Ricky é tão alto quanto Britney.

10.____________________ them now and destroy them.
Whatever is about to follow, whatever this grand trick is, is really going to amaze. Look closely, because the closer you think you are, the less you actually see.

NOTES On the count of three = The word "of" often sounds like "a" [uh] if the next sound is a consonant, for example, "a cup of tea" sounds like "a cup a tea" and "two of my friends" sounds like "two a my friends". Hands where I can see them = The full sentence is "Put your hands where I can see them". Hang on = Wait a second. Come in close = Look closely 

VOCABULARY To fool = enganar Horsemen = cavaleiros A bunch of = um monte de / um bando de Trick = truque Designed = concebido / projetado Quit = desistir To amaze = impressionar
