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.

Gramática

Pessoas

There are eight grammatical genders in Portuguese. These include masculine singular, feminine singular, neuter singular, masculine plural, feminine plural, neuter plural, masculine dual, and feminine dual.

Tempo Verbal

Portuguese distinguishes two tenses, present and past. Present indicative is used for continuous actions and present simple, while past indicative is used for completed actions. Both simple and imperfect can express habitual actions.
