  ➔ “Dá” is the imperative form of “dar” (to give). “Ma” is a shortened form of “a mim” (to me), and “cá” indicates here. The direct object pronoun is attached to the verb in the imperative.

• Por favor! Se o esqueceres...

  ➔ Conditional Sentences (Type 1)

  ➔ The use of "se" (if) followed by the subjunctive mood ("esqueceres") introduces a conditional clause. This implies a possible future consequence if the condition is met. This specific construction is type 1 conditional.

• Pensava que te tinha perdido, Miguel

  ➔ Pluperfect Subjunctive in a Subordinate Clause

  ➔ "Tinha perdido" is the pluperfect subjunctive of "perder" (to lose). It's used after "pensava que" to express a hypothetical or desired past action that didn't necessarily happen. The subjunctive mood conveys uncertainty or subjectivity about the event of losing Miguel.

• Estamos juntos outra vez, é o que importa

  ➔ Cleft sentence with "o que"

  ➔ This uses "o que" (what) to emphasize a specific part of the sentence. "É o que importa" translates to "It's what matters", focusing attention on the importance of being together.
