Amazing story! So pleasant to listen to! Many thanks to everyone, who participated in making such video!
Would these grammatical points be correct?
pelo contrário – note use of contracted preposition
acordasse: pretérito imperfeito do conjuntivo de acordar
se apercebesse: from aperceber-se conjuntivo imperfeito; to become aware
fazia: imperfeito indicativo
procurá-la: RSZ rule: drop last letter add accent (á) then hyphen (-) and “la”
carregada = loaded (from carregar – to carry)
Não te deixa dormir: note position of “te” before the verb in a negative statement
Não faças isso – conjuntivo presente of fazer
vires – conjuntivo presente of virar to turn (over or upside down, to become, to change)
fosses: conjuntivo imperfeito of IR and SER
Obrigada,
Sarah
I notice that the formatting in my comment above disappeared. Hopefully it is still readable!
Olá! It’s all readable and your notes are all correct 🙂 As additional info, I would add:
…
– Não faças isso – conjuntivo presente of fazer, used in an imperative sense (negative imperative sentences are formed via the present subjunctive)
…
– vires – conjuntivo presente of virar (to turn over or upside down, to become, to change) & of VER (to see)
Muito obrigada Joseph.
My friends in our (twice-weekly) Portuguese-language chat group are trying to figure out the grammar in the sentence that starts “Este seu plano transformou-se numa rotina […]” Why is it “Este seu plano” and not simply “O seu plano”?
Obrigada,
Sarah
You’re welcome!
“Este seu plano” and “O seu plano” are both absolutely fine to use. Think of “Este seu plano” as a way of saying “This plan of hers” – so, no real change in meaning, just a different phrasing.
