  • 00:00:03Professora: Meninos, já tenho os resultados dos vossos testes e tenho a dizer que não são nada bons.
  • 00:00:09De 0 a 20, a nota mais alta é um 12. Um autêntico desastre!
  • 00:00:16Por isso, vou dar-vos a oportunidade de repetirem o teste, com consulta.
  • 00:00:21Claro que, para a avaliação final, este teste não pode valer os habituais 50%, mas sim 25%.
  • 00:00:30Em casa, vão fazer uma dissertação sobre um tema à vossa escolha, que vale os outros 25%.
  • 00:00:37É para entregar na próxima aula.
  • 00:00:39Agora, só quero ver a folha de teste, o manual e a caneta em cima das vossas secretárias.

Comments

  • In the sentence “…..vou dar-vos a oportunidade de repetirem o teste…..”, why is repetirem conjugated in 3rd Pl? I would have expected the infinitive form? Thanks for a wonderful course.

    • Good question. It is actually the infinitive – the personal infinitive!
      In this particular sentence, both the personal and the impersonal infinitive (repetirem / repetir) can be used with no difference in meaning. The personal infinitive is just reinforcing the grammatical person that has already been established earlier in the sentence (by’-vos’).

  • so “repetirem” is not the (plural) future subjuntive ? …. i.e., because retaking the test is still a hypothetical opportunity ?
