Last but not least

A dica de hoje é a frase last but not least que é usada para enfatizar algo que você deixou por último em uma apresentação por exemplo, ou mesmo quando está explicando uma série de coisas, e ao falar do último tópico resolve enfatizar a importância do mesmo, ou seja, está por último pela ordem mas não é menos importante que os anteriores. Podemos traduzir para o português como: por último, mas não / de forma alguma / nem por isso, o menos importante.

Veja alguns exemplos:

This is Jeremy, this is Olivia and, last but not least, this is Eva.
Esse é o Jeremy, essa é a Olivia e, por último mas não menos importante, essa é a Eva.

Last but not least, we are discussing the powers of this new authority.

Por último mas não menos importante, nós estamos discutindo os poderes desta nova autoridade.

Last but not least Gary in midfield has been brilliant.

Por último mas não menos importante, Gary tem sido brilhante no meio-campo.

And now, last but not least, I’d like to present Bill Smith, who will give us some final words.

E agora, por último mas não menos importante, eu gostaria de apresentar Bill Smith, que vai nos dar algumas palavras finais.

And last but not least, I’d like to thank a man who’s been a real inspiration to me: Dick Smith.

E por último mas não menos importante, eu gostaria de agradecer um homem que foi uma grande inspiração pra mim: Dick Smith.

And last but not least, I’d like to introduce you to the Director, Michael Simpson.

E por último mas não menos importante, eu gostaria de apresentá-los o Diretor, Michael Simpson.

And finally, last but not least… the boss!!

E finalmente, por último mas não menos importante… o chefe!!

Hi everyone!! This is great!! I believe that studying the Present Perfect is a significant milestone in the learning process of a student! So I’m gonna introduce you to the Present Perfect through this video!

The Present Perfect tense connects the past with the present. When using this verb tense, we can be talking about an action or event that occurred in the past but will be referring to how it relates to the present. So when I say: “I’ve lived in the US for 10 years”, it would mean the same as if I have said: “That’s why I know a lot about English.”

We use the present perfect:

1  When describing certain life experiences. To describe actions and events which occurred in the past, which are also of particular importance in the present moment.

2  To describe changes over a period of time. To describe events which occurred gradually and over time in the past, especially when these had a lasting influence on the present.

3  To describe accomplishments and milestones, especially big ones, usually have a lasting influence on the present.

4  To describe actions or events that started in the past and that are still occurring, but which began in the past.

Next is a more informal video. I like this guy because he talks from a perspective of someone who is learning Portuguese. So it’s very nice!

 

What are you afraid of?

I first published this video about two years ago. It’s awesome! The message is great! And besides, it’s so rich in language! Here you can find a lot of the things we’ve been learning lately!

A new week is starting, so take the time to watch it and notice everything we’ve been talking about here. If you carefully do your homework, I’m sure you’ll benefit a lot from it!
