Key Grammar Structures
-
Te juro não pedi pra estar apaixonado por ela
➔ Use of negative past tense with 'não' + verb, and infinitive structure with 'pra' (para) + verb
➔ 'Não' is used to negate the verb in the past tense, and 'pra' (short for 'para') introduces an infinitive verb expressing purpose or intention.
-
Olha só o destino
➔ Use of imperative form with 'Olha' to draw attention, followed by a noun phrase
➔ 'Olha' is the imperative form of 'olhar', used here to command or draw attention, often followed by a description or object.
-
De verdade peço perdão
➔ Use of 'peço' (from 'pedir') in the present tense to express 'I ask' or 'I apologize', with 'de verdade' for emphasis
➔ 'Peço' is the first person singular of 'pedir' (to ask or request), and 'de verdade' emphasizes sincerity or truthfulness.
-
Sei que eu não fui o melhor do mundo
➔ Use of 'sei' (from 'saber') in the present tense to express 'I know', with 'que' as a conjunction, and past tense 'fui' (from 'ser')
➔ 'Sei' means 'I know' in the present tense, and 'fui' is the past tense of 'ser' (to be). 'Que' introduces the subordinate clause.
