How come there is an “é” after tem? Ter de is the “to have to” construction but what does adding é do here?
This “é” is an idiomatic addition for a sort of emphasis. It’s like saying “You JUST have to…” or “BUT you have to…”. The sentence doesn’t require it, but it would then sound more neutral, just saying “You have to…”.
In the text, he says “muito simpatico de sua parte”, but I would have expected simpatica. The text in the quiz also uses simpatica rather than simpatico. Why is it not gendered in the dialogue?
Thanks for your question. The word ‘simpático’ is gendered in the text, but in the masculine form. We can assume that the implied grammatical subject is the masculine noun ‘gesto’ (gesture), agreeing with the adjective. Just a note that the lady in the dialogue can’t be the subject of the sentence, since the sentence is not phrased as something like ‘[Você/A senhora] é muito simpática’.
As for the quiz, the question was phrased as “Como é que o Filipe descreve a atitude da Sofia?”. So, here, we had an explicit reference to the feminine noun ‘atitude’ and the adjective must agree with it. In any case, to minimize any confusion and keep things harmonized with the text, we have reworded it to refer to ‘gesto’ instead.
