Human babies need 16 hours , and most of us probably feel we need around eight hourssleep to functions well,Professor Jerry Seigel from the Univarsity of California, Los Angeles, conducted a study of the sleep times of a broad range osanimals and found that they vary widely. Some, like migrating birds, can survive long periods without sleeping at all. He believes that shows sleep evolved to conserve energy.
Jerry Seigel: ‘ It’s animals that are needlessly active that will not survive, but animals that are most eficiente and use their waking time to do vital functions, andare otherwise asleep that will survive.’ Sleep helps make best use of limited resources. In humans, when we’re awake, our brain accountsfor 20% of the energy we use when justsitting around. Sleeping also makes us less likely to get injured and less likely to be detected by predators.

Presente Simples

O Simple Present é usado para descrever ações que ocorrem com frequência, de forma habitual, no tempo presente.

Exemplo: trabalhar, dormir, comer etc. É só utilizar o presente do verbo to be ou dos demais verbos.

A conjugação do verbo to be é:

• I am
• You are
• He/She/It is
• We are
• You are
• They are

Nos outros verbos, você precisa acrescentar um "es", "ies" ou "s" ao final deles, quando conjugados, para as pessoas do discurso "she", "he" e "it".

Ex.:

• She seems happy. (verbo seem - acrescenta-se um "s")
• Ela parece feliz.
• They seem happy. (verbo seem - sem acréscimos)
• Eles parecem felizes.
• He studies all day (study - "ies")
• Ele estuda o dia todo.
• I study everyday. (study - sem acréscimos)
• Eu estudo todo o dia.

Vamos às afirmações sobre o tempo verbal presente:

• A) Errada. Essa seria uma situação de past continuous.

• C) Correta.
• D) Incorreta. Seria Past Tense.
