LANGUAGE ANALYSIS
 1 Read the following sentence from Vocabulary to answer the questions. Write the answers in 
your notebook.
If you witness domestic violence in public, it’s important to take into account your 
own safety as well as the survivor’s.
A The verb witness in the fi rst part of the sentence could be replaced without changing the 
meaning of the sentence by…
• participate
• see X
B A proper translation for the second part of the sentence, beginning with “it’s important”, 
would be:
• é importante levar em consideração a sua segurança, assim como a segurança 
do sobrevivente. X
• é importante se dar conta da situação e da sobrevivência.
C It is correct to say that the sentence…
• is about past events.
• is an example of a condition and its results. X
 2 Based on your answers to the previous activities, complete the sentences with the correct 
option. Write the answer in your notebook. condition; results
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES I
A conditional sentence has two clauses: the if clause and the main clause. 
The if clause presents a condition / results for an action to happen, while the main clause 
presents the condition / results of meeting that condition.
 3 Read two sentences from Vocabulary and one item from 
activity 6 in Read on. Write T (true) or F (false) about them in 
your notebook.
I You might even record the incident with your phone to pass 
to law enforcement if the survivor chooses to press charges.
II If you are e ver concerned for the survivor’s immediate safety 
(or your own), you do have the right to contact the police.
III If you are a woman, you will probably face some kind of 
violence.
A Sentences I, II and III are conditional sentences. T
B Sentences I and III refer to future situations. We can see proof of that because there is 
will and might in the main clause. T
C Sentences I, II and III present conditions that are impossible in real life. F
D Sentence II is like the sentence in activity 1: the if clause and the main clause are in the 
Simple Present. T
