Assinale a frase que se encontra escrita de forma correta a) there were old cell phones on the table b) there was a computer keyboard c) there were a CD player d) there was a computer mouse e) there were small earphones​

Resposta: A frase correta é: a) there were old cell phones on the table; b) there was a computer keyboard; d) there was a computer mouse; e) there were small earphones. <br /><br />Dicas: No inglês, "was" e "were" são formas do verbo "to be" no passado. "Was" é usado para a primeira e terceira pessoa do singular (I, he, she, it), enquanto "were" é usado para a segunda pessoa do singular e todas as pessoas do plural (you, we, they). No caso de itens contáveis, usamos "were" quando temos mais de um item (por exemplo, "there were old cell phones on the table") e "was" quando temos apenas um item (por exemplo, "there was a computer mouse"). <br /><br />Descrição: Ao analisarmos as opções, vemos que as sentenças a), b), d) e e) estão corretas, pois atendem às regras gramaticais explicadas. A sentença c) "there were a CD player" está incorreta, pois o "a CD player" é um único item, então deveríamos usar "was" em vez de "were". <br /><br />Assim, a resposta final corrigida para a questão é: a) there were old cell phones on the table, b) there was a computer keyboard, d) there was a computer mouse e e) there were small earphones.
