I like these short dialogues. They are a good length. I did try one of the others, but was put off by the length. It would be a good idea to indicate duration as well as difficulty.
Phew! I have just completed the lessons on both the coordinating and the subordinating conjunctions! I am sure I am not alone in finding these hard but I appreciate that they are so very important if I am to master the language and not simply speak in ‘un-conjoined’ sentences! Hopefully, my brain will get to gips with them as future lessons unfold…
Great work Fiona, those are definitely a couple of our heavier Units, for sure 🙂 Thanks for your continued support!
Yes difficult as Fiona says but well explained in this course and any queries are promptly answered.
I see “a ter used muito, how does this work? Thank you. Alan.
Olá, Alan. That is the Present Continuous, which is structured like this: [auxiliary verb estar] + preposition a + [infinitive of main verb]. You can see the full construction, for example, at the start of the sentence “Todos vocês estão a trabalhar…”, and then see it subsequently repeated with different main verbs: “…a cumprir os prazos…”, “…a ter resultados…”. In English, these are all -ing forms (a trabalhar = working | a cumprir = meeting | a ter = having).

Glad that question was asked and answered!
Yeah! Fight the power! Vive a revolução!
There is a missing word in 01:10 “E enquanto espero, não trabalho mais um minuto.” The word is “Nem” and comes before the word “Mais”
Hi Barak, “mais um minuto” is correct, however, it’s true that it is more common to say “nem mais um minuto”. “Nem” here basically means “not even”, so it’s often added for emphasis, but is not a mandatory element in the sentence. Thanks for your comment! It’s helpful to point out the different ways you will hear phrases like this.
Molly, I believe the spoken version includes nem, but the transcript doesn’t. Great audio though, found it quite funny even when I didn’t get all of the words first time round.
Oh you’re right! Sorry, I completely missed that. I’ll make the correction. 🙂
Hello,
In this unit, I saw the above sentence mentioned “Quando eu tenho fome, eu como”.
Why is this sentence not “Quando tiver fome, eu como”? If both options are possible, how does one differ from the other? Do we need to use future conjunctive if the present tense works?
Thank you in advance.
Olá! Good question. “Quando eu tenho fome, eu como” is also grammatically correct, but it’s a more general sentence, suggesting a typical habit or rule. “Quando tiver fome, eu como” feels more specific to this one moment 🙂
I love these dialogues! Love the acting and the comedic relief 😂
