Errado Look at the clock: is almost midnight.
Certo Look at the clock: it is almost midnight.
Em português «é quase meia-noite» não precisa de sujeito. Em inglês o verbo nunca fica sozinho: para horas, tempo e distâncias entra o sujeito vazio it — it is late, it's raining.
Errado I am in Porto since March.
Certo I have been in Porto since March.
«Estou no Porto desde março» usa o presente porque a situação continua. Em inglês, o que começou no passado e dura até agora vai para o present perfect: I have been + since.
Errado The life is too short to stay angry with your sister.
Certo Life is too short to stay angry with your sister.
O português põe artigo nas ideias gerais («a vida», «o amor»). Em inglês, um nome abstrato em sentido geral não leva the: life is short, love is blind.
Errado What do you do? — I am to go home now.
Certo What are you doing? — I am going home now.
Dois erros de origem diferente encontram-se na mesma frase. O primeiro é de escolha: «O que fazes?» traduzido à letra dá What do you do?, que pergunta pela profissão. O segundo é de forma e é português puro: «estou a ir» tem um infinitivo lá dentro, e o infinitivo passa para o inglês sem passar pelo -ing.
