Explicação
Vamos reescrever as frases usando conectores de contraste/concessão, mantendo o mesmo sentido.
a) A frase começa com Though (Embora), então basta transformar o contraste em uma oração concessiva iniciada por Though e manter o restante.
- Original: “Ann spends a lot of time online, but she is very careful.”
- Reescrita: “Though Ann spends a lot of time online, she is very careful.”
b) Aqui também é contraste (“but”). Podemos reescrever com Although/Though + oração completa.
- Original: “Simon is fat, but he is very active.”
- Reescrita: “Although Simon is fat, he is very active.”
c) A estrutura pedida é In spite of + (gerúndio / substantivo). Como a frase original tem “He was tired”, transformamos “tired” em gerúndio: being tired.
- Original: “He was tired, but he went to the gym.”
- Reescrita: “In spite of being tired, he went to the gym.”
