    NOTA:

    No ingls para pr os verbos no infinitivo necessrio

    colocar o TO antes do verbo.

    Se deixarmos apenas o verbo BE, por exemplo, esteficar no imperativo = s!, seja!, sejamos!, sede!,sejam!, esteja!, estejam!...

    Outros exemplos:To sing = cantar;To love = amar;To drive = conduzir

    (E todos os outros verbos).

    Nestes casos, o TO, no tem traduo apenas servepara colocar o verbo no infinitivo.

    Russell Rollins was a perfect, healthy, happy baby until he was15 months old. Then he got his measles, mumps and rubellashots. He's never been the same since.

    That was ten years ago. Russell had a very intense reaction tothe vaccines. He screamed and cried in a high-pitched voice fordays. After that, he seemed to have no energy or interest inanything. He became autistic.

They often repeat the same sounds over and over,and are not very interested in talking to other people. Manyautistic children even try to avoid looking at other people.

    But a recent study in Denmark found no links betweenvaccinations and autism. Robert Byrd (sounds like "bird") is achildren's doctor in the United States who studies the causes ofdiseases. He doesn't believe the measles vaccine is a problem. But
