Key Grammar Structures
-
O que veio fazer aqui?
➔ Interrogative Pronoun "O que"
➔ Here, "O que" is used as an interrogative pronoun, equivalent to "What". It introduces a question about the reason for someone's presence.
-
Se quer me ouvir, vou te dizer
➔ Conditional Clause with "Se"
➔ "Se" introduces a conditional clause, meaning "If". The sentence means "If you want to hear me, I will tell you."
-
Não sou culpado pelos seus erros
➔ Passive Voice (Impersonal)
➔ While not strictly passive in its construction, the sentence structure emphasizes the speaker *not* being the cause of the errors. The 'culpado' is linked to the 'seus erros' via 'pelos'.
-
Quem diria que um dia os papéis iam se inverter?
➔ Subjunctive Mood (Indirect Question)
➔ This sentence expresses surprise or disbelief. The phrase "Quem diria" (Who would have thought) introduces a subjunctive mood, implying uncertainty or hypothetical situation. 'iam se inverter' is in the imperfect subjunctive, expressing a past action with an element of uncertainty.
-
Suas coisas já deixei lá fora, já pode ir embora
➔ Imperative Mood (Implicit)
➔ While not directly using imperative verbs, "já pode ir embora" implies a strong suggestion/order. 'Já deixei' is a past action which supports the imperative.
-
Foi ela quem pegou na minha mão quando você soltou
➔ Cleft Sentence (Emphatic)
➔ This is a cleft sentence used for emphasis. It highlights "ela" (she) as the one who took his hand when the other person let go. "Foi...quem" structure is common for this.
-
Foi ela quem me ajudou a levantar quando eu caí
➔ Cleft Sentence with Relative Pronoun (Emphasis)
➔ Again, a cleft sentence emphasizing "ela". The structure "Foi ela quem..." highlights who helped him get up when he fell. "Quem" acts as the relative pronoun connecting "ela" and the action.
