Duas regras invisíveis governam quase tudo aqui. A primeira é o tamanho da palavra: adjetivo curto ganha terminação, adjetivo longo ganha more na frente, e misturar os dois produz "more easier", que é o erro campeão do tema. A segunda é a igualdade, que em português some — dizemos "tão caro quanto" com duas palavras diferentes, e inglês repete a mesma dos dois lados. Guarde também a diferença de grafia entre than, que compara, e then, que ordena no tempo: elas soam quase idênticas na fala rápida, e no texto a troca salta aos olhos de quem lê.
Traduzir frase inteira ensina o que traduzir palavra não ensina: a ordem, o tempo verbal e a preposição só aparecem quando a frase existe. Cada uma destas aceita 10.7 formas diferentes em média — porque quase nunca há uma resposta única, e reconhecer as variantes é metade do trabalho de entender quem fala.
