Venus and Jupiter 'Converge' Before Going Their Separate Ways

BY STAV ZIV 7/1/15 AT 11:58 AM Newsweek

Venus and Jupiter have appeared closer and closer together since last winter from our perch here on Earth. On Tuesday night, the two planets reached their closest point, or “conjunction,” appearing to almost converge in the night sky, and will look nearly as close on Wednesday night. The brightest celestial bodies after the sun and the moon, they are visible to the naked eye on a clear night.

Though they appear to be almost touching during a conjunction, “they will not, in fact, be anywhere near each other,” Alan MacRobert, senior editor of Sky & Telescope magazine, explained to Newsweek ahead of the event. “At the time of the conjunction, Venus will be 48 million miles away from Earth, and Jupiter will be 565 million miles away,” he added. “Looks in astronomy are deceiving.”

Nevertheless, Tuesday’s event was captured by observers around the world and shared on social media. Sky & Telescope also rounded up several images to share widely, on Twitter and in its online gallery.

Question tags

São perguntas feitas ao final de uma frase para checar uma informação.

Se a frase é afirmativa, a question tag é negativa, e vice- versa.

As question tags são formadas por verbos e pronomes – nunca podemos usar nomes.

È preciso identificar primeiro o verbo da frase, e em seguida o sujeito

. Ex.: João(sujeito) is (verbo) your friend, isn’t he?

Verbo To Be:

He is fine, ISN’T HE?

You are here, AREN’T YOU?

I am a teacher, AREN’T I?

I wasn’t at home, WAS I?

They weren’t there , WERE YOU?

Simple Present:

You like chocolate,DON’T YOU? ( quando o verbo não tem –s no final, usamos don’t )

The dog barks all night, DOESN’T IT? (quando o verbo tem –s no final, usamos doesn’t)

Simple Past: com verbos regulares e irregulares usamos didn’t.

Present Perfect have/has haven’t / hasn’t

Casos especiais:

I am = aren´t I ? Ex.: I am the teacher, aren´t I?

Imperativo = will you Ex.: Close the door, will you?

Let’s = shall we Ex.: Let’s see the game, shall we?

This/that + verbo = verbo auxiliar + it

Ex.: This is easy, isn’t it?

These / those + verbo = verbo auxiliar + they

Ex.: These people look familiar, don’t they?

Indefinites = auxiliar do plural

Ex.: Everybody loves Chris, don’t they?
