English as a Lingua Franca

 

A number of researchers have studied conversations in English as a Lingua Franca and have noted a number of somewhat surprising characteristics, including:

a) Non-use of third person present simple tense -s (She look very sad).

b) Interchangeable use of the relative pronouns who and which (a book who, a boy which).

c) Use of an all-purpose tag question such as “isn’t it” (They should arrive soon, isn’t it?).

d) Increasing of redundancy by adding “inexistent” prepositions {We have to study about…, The article treats of…).

Gabarito

Errado

Comentário do professor

A frase The new rules were carefully explained to everyone present. está correta porque a preposição to marca o destinatário da ação.

O verbo explain exige o conteúdo explicado como objeto direto (the new rules) e o receptor da explicação é introduzido por to. No ativo: They explained the new rules to everyone present.

Na passive voice o objeto direto torna-se sujeito (the new rules) e o destinatário permanece em estrutura preposicional. Assim, to everyone present funciona como complemento que indica quem recebeu a explicação.

Além disso, o advérbio carefully está corretamente posicionado para modificar o verbo. Portanto, a preposição to está adequadamente acrescentada e gramaticalmente necessária.
