Study Notes
Ortografia
Portuguese spelling is phonetic, meaning each letter has only one sound. However, there are some silent letters. For example, "c" before "a", "o" or "u" is pronounced like "k". In addition, "ç" can replace "s" before "a", "o", "u". There's also a diacritical mark ("á", "à", etc.) above certain vowels, which indicates pronunciation changes.
Sintaxe
In Portuguese syntax, subjects usually come before verbs. Verbs are generally placed after adjectives and other modifiers. Noun phrases usually follow the adjective phrase. Adpositions of place often precede the noun they modify. Despite this general rule, exceptions exist. Direct objects may appear between the verb and its subject.
Verbo à Conjunção
The order of verbs followed by conjunctions varies. If both verbs share the same tense, the second comes first. Otherwise, the first is written before the second.
