Como citar alguma coisa cujo nome é uma Sigla?
Olá!
Quando vou citar alguma coisa cujo nome é uma sigla, por exemplo, grupos LEV e GEV , em inglês, eu devo usar o nome antes, ou depois? (LEV and GEV groups ou groups LEV and GEV). E quando é somente um? LEV group ou group LEV.
Obrigada!

Erica,
Na mina opinião, o mais comum é a sigla vir primeiro. Veja exemplos retirados do Google, feitos por falantes nativos do inglês.
- ''You can amp up your efforts to trace your family tree by having your DNA tested, added to DNA databases, and joining DNA groups...''
- ''A further parallel between RNA and protein is revealed in the structure of an RNA group.''
Bons estudos!

I do not know of a hard, fast rule. It becomes complicated when the name is given completely and when it is also given as an abbreviation. The following examples are USUALLY true, I believe, unless (a) they are followed by such nouns as agent, affiliates, spokesperson, teams, schedules, office, etc. and/or (b) are used in headlines. There is an exception to every exception.
