My friend Arnold Spencer has recently been indicated to a higher position at work, in fact he is now an editor-in-chief at a famous online magazine. However having had personal worth to access that, it seems to have gotten to him. We should admit he hasn’t been himself lately. He turned out to be aloof, has been getting to work late and you notice he’s spacing out frequently.


Mark the option that correctly completes the sentence about Arnold.


“It’s extremely important that ______________ warned about the consequences of such behavior.”

  1. Arnold is
  2. Arnold be
  3. Arnold to be
  4. Arnold will be

Gabarito

B

Comentário do professor

A resposta correta é a forma "Arnold be" porque o inglês exige a subjuntivo (mandative subjunctive) após expressões como it's important that.

No subjuntivo presente o verbo aparece em sua base form sem "to" e sem conjugação para pessoa ou número — por isso usamos be e não "is" ou "will be".

A estrutura completa fica: "It's extremely important that Arnold be warned about the consequences of such behavior." Aqui há também uma voz passiva: be + past participle (warned).

Esse uso é relativamente formal e aparece em recomendações, ordens ou declarações de necessidade. Uma versão menos formal e equivalente é: "It's extremely important that Arnold should be warned..."
