Inglês Todos os Dias #64: Como dizer ‘faz tempo que não o vejo’ em inglês

by Tim Barrett | Sep 3, 2015 | Grammar, Inglês Todos os Dias, Podcasts2015 | 39 comments

O meu amigo viu outro amigo que não havia visto há muito tempo e disse: I don’t see him for a long time! Mas não é assim que se diz “faz tempo que não o vejo” em inglês. Vamos aprender a dizer ‘faz tempo que não o vejo’ em inglês no mini-podcast de hoje.

I haven’t seen you in a long time.
I don’t see him in a long time.
Why? Are you blind?
I don’t see him during the day.
I haven’t seen him for a long time.
have not = haven’t

—–===(*)===—–

Agora vamos praticar! Complete a frase (no setor de comentários abaixo): I haven’t seen ___(name)____ for a long time!

Tim, é um prazer muito grande fazer parte do seu grupo de estudantes e seguidores, pois os seus mini-podcast são muito úteis pra nós estudantes. Tenho todos, separados por pasta e áudios, não saem do meu smartphone por nada.
Realmente, a maior dificuldade que percebo em meus amigos estudantes é justamente o “presente perfeito”, não conseguimos aplicar em nossa fala do dia a dia, não entra em nossas cabeças, kkkk. Seria realmente “salvador” esse seu material. Acredito por R$ 30 seria um preço justo. Abraços meu amigo, ficaremos no aguarde do lançamento do material.

Olá, este foi o primeiro podcast seu que ouvi e achei bem esclarecedor, bem feito. No momento estou sem base para palpitar sobre um valor. Sugiro que você comece com algo mais ou menos simbólico e depois vá conhecendo a demanda. Abraços.

I think it’s a good idea to talk about present perfect. I don’t know about the price, but it is fair to pay for it.

Ótima dica! Seria interessante estudar mais o presente perfeito. Todo dia estudando um aspecto desse tempo, ajudaria a fixar melhor o assunto. Acho que uns 14 dias (2 semanas) já seria o suficiente, eu acho. O importante é esgotar e espremer o assunto.

I haven’t see my uncle for a long time!
I’m very interested in these lessons. I think R$ 30,00 is a good price.

Thank you, Tim. Take care!

Hi Tim, lessons through pod cast is a great idea. You can be in all around the world. You can count with me to buy it.

Sure thing! And about the price, I don’t know what I can say to you, I think you must have to charge fair.

But, please, make that materials. It’s really handy for us! I’ll love it!

Thanks a lot!
Have a nice weekend and holiday!

Hi, Tim! I haven’t seen my sisters for a long time. I’m kind of “desleixado”. By the way, learning about the usage of Present Perfect would be very interesting! The cost? I’m sorry. I’m not good on saying the cost of things!

I haven’t seen my friends, especially Mariana, for a long time; actually I’ve been very busy to catch up with them 🙁
Lessons about present perfect would be great! I think it would costs around 20,00.
Thank you.

Hi teacher! You had a great idea! I never understood how to use the present perfect! I know this material is very valuable but I also know that our teacher is very generous, so I believe I will be able to pay for it.
I have a sister that is living in Italy so I haven’t seen her for a long, long time!
( I think I should say “she has lived”, shouldn’t I?) I need your help urgently!

Hi, Tim!

Whenever I meet someone “I haven’t seen for a long time”, I usually say: “Oh, long time no see!”

Well, I’ve just wondered here if it’s correct.

Thanks and see you!

  Yes, Fábio! That is a common expression that you use when you see someone you haven’t seen in a long time. You say that expression TO THE PERSON that you just met.

Olá Tim! Comecei a ouvir os Mini Podcasts Inglês Todos os Dias e tenho adorado! Nos últimos 3 dias eu ouvi os 67 feitos até o momento, e irei parar pra fazer cada comentário em cada um post aqui no site, conforme você sugere que façamos. Sobre o curso do Presente Perfeito, eu achei SENSACIONAL! Eu pagaria R$ 50,00 tranquilo! É uma das poucas coisas que ainda tenho dificuldade em inglês, então acho que vale a pena uns Podcasts bem específicos sobre o tema! Vou torcer muito para que você realmente faça! E uma última dúvida, eu já ouvi em algum Podcast que você fez um conjunto de minipodcasts de inglês básico também. Onde encontro eles? Quero ensinar inglês pra a minha namorada e queria indicar os seus podcasts básicos para ela começar!
Parabéns pelo sensacional trabalho!

  Olá Edison! Que bacana! Fico feliz que você está aproveitando os mini-podcasts assim! Espero que os mini-podcasts sejam uma grande ajuda para aprimorar o seu inglês! Por enquanto você (ou a sua namorada) poderá receber os mini-podcasts básicos aqui nos site. É só se inscrever na caixa ao lado (inglês básico todos os dias). Mais uma vez, muito obrigado pelas palavras simpáticas sobre o nosso trabalho! Boa sorte nos estudos!

Olá TIM,

Uma pergunta, poderia dizer também “It has been a while since last time I have seen him”, com o sentido de “Já faz uma tempo que não o vejo”?

Obrigado!

  Olá Marcio! É um pouco mais simples do que isso. Você pode dizer: It’s been a while since I saw him last.

Hi Tim, I haven’t seen my American friend Richard Briggs from West Hartford – Connecticut for a long time. Could I say “It has been a long time that I don’t see my American Friend” ?

I think that you have I great knowledge about the difficulties about Brazilians learning English, mostly present perfect. If you sell your ebook by R$20,00 I think that many students will buy it, of course I will do too. But it is your decision, you know how hard you have to work for writing it, so it’s not polite to suggest a price, I did because you ask for. Thak you.
