→ Não entrarei em detalhes agora sobre todos os verbos modais, mas apenas sobre o verbo modal WOULD
Digamos que lhe seja apresentada uma condição/ situação hipotética na qual lhe é direcionado uma pergunta sobre o que você faria, como reagiria, qual seria sua decisão, enfim qual seria a sua reação diante do novo evento que lhe foi apresentado.
No bom Português, fazemos perguntas como: o que você faria? O que você diria?
Dê uma olhada na figura desse artigo! Imagine o que você faria…..
Podemos muito bem dizer: iria fazer ou então faria como em “compraria” ou “iria comprar”.
Simplesmente, facilitamos as coisas e juntamos a terminação (ria/iria)
Para fazer isso no Inglês, adotamos a sequência WOULD + VERBO
Veja: se você fosse Ronaldinho o que faria?
No Inglês, caso quiséssemos responder, adotaríamos WOULD para a nossa resposta.
Como em: I would buy a Ferrari.
Ao pé da letra: Eu compraria uma Ferrari ou Eu iria comprar uma Ferrari.
Assim como os outros verbos auxiliares, o modal verb WOULD atuou sobre o verbo to buy realizando uma alteração no sentido, como se adicionasse iria ao verbo, ou seja, se trata de apenas de uma situação hipotética. O verbo modal WOULD deverá sempre estar acompanhado de um verbo.
Nos próximos artigos veremos possíveis combinações.
