    Learning Objectives – Objetivos da Lição

    Lição 3 presents:

    • the demonstrative adjectives,
    • some irregular verbs in the present tense,
    • the verb phrase é que, and
    • basic vocabulary that includes languages and other relevant words.

    After completing this lesson, the student will be able to:

    • recognize and describe objects using demonstrativeadjectives.
    • provide more detailed responses using the demonstrative adjectives with their contractions.

    Grammar- Gramática

    Demonstrative Adjectives – Os adjetivos demonstrativos

    In Portuguese, the demonstrative adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Given below are the demonstrative adjectives in all their forms:

      Masculine Feminine Translation
    Singular este esta [this (near speaker)]
      esse essa [that (near one addressed)]
      aquele aquela [that (far away)]
    Plural estes estas [these (near speaker)]
      esses essas [those (near one addressed)]
      aqueles aquelas [those (far away)]

    Contractions of common prepositions with demonstrative adjectives – Contrações de preposições comuns e adjetivos demonstrativos

    The contractions em, de, and a contract with the demonstrative adjectives as follows:

    em + este, -a, -es, -as = neste, nesta, nestes, nestas [in these, on these, at these]
    em + esse, -a, -es, -as = nesse, nessa, nesses, nessas [in those, on those, at those]
    em + aquele, -a, -es, -as = naquele, naquela, naqueles, naquelas [in that/those (far away), on that/those (far away), at that/those (far away)]
    de + este, -a, -es, -as = deste, desta, destes, destas [ of this/these, from this/these]
    de + esse, -a, -es, -as = desse, dessa, desses, dessas [of that/those, from that/those]
    de + aquele, -a, -es, -as = daquele, daquela, daqueles, daquelas [of that/those (far away), from that/those (far away)]
    a + aquele, -a, -es, -as = àquele, àquela, àqueles, àquelas [to that/those (far away), at that/those (far away)]

    *Note: The preposition a does not combine with the demonstrative adjectives este(s), esta(s), esse(s), essa(s).
