Cheese: used to em afirmativa (B1)

Cheese was probably invented by accident, when milk was transported in bags made from animal stomachs. For thousands of years it ___ be simply a practical solution: a way of keeping the energy of milk for months without a refrigerator. Today it is a gastronomic product with hundreds of protected names, and some varieties are more expensive per kilo than meat. Production still depends on three things: good milk, the right bacteria and patience. Environmentally, however, dairy farming uses a lot of water and land, so many people are reducing the quantity they eat.

Assinale a alternativa que completa corretamente a lacuna do texto.

  1. A) use to
  2. B) used to
  3. C) was used to
  4. D) is used to
  5. E) uses to
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: B

A lacuna vem antes do infinitivo "be", e a estrutura que expressa um estado do passado que não vale mais é "used to + infinitivo". "Use to" e "uses to" não existem em frases afirmativas; a forma sem "d" só aparece com o auxiliar "did". "Was used to" e "is used to" significam "estar acostumado" e pedem substantivo ou gerúndio, jamais o infinitivo "be".
