Grammar:
-
Vou ver se a porta já se abriu
➔ Subjunctive Mood (Present)
➔ Use of the subjunctive mood after "se" (if) to express doubt or uncertainty. The verb "abriu" would be "tenha aberto" in its perfect form to express a completed action that may have occurred. Here the present is sufficient.
-
Tão só andei entre paredes
➔ Adverb of degree + Past Perfect
➔ "Tão" (so) is used to emphasize the action of having only walked between walls. "Andei" is the perfect form of the verb "andar", so it express action finished on the past.
-
Para quê o salão se não há bailes?
➔ Conditional Clause (Hypothetical)
➔ The sentence uses "se não" (if not, unless) to express a hypothetical condition. It implies that since there are no balls, the ballroom serves no purpose.
-
À noite um vestido vou usar
➔ Periphrastic Future (Ir + Infinitive)
➔ "Vou usar" is the periphrastic future construction, using "ir" (to go) + infinitive (usar - to use, to wear) to indicate a future action. The word order is inverted.
-
Sei que soa um pouco estranho
➔ Subjunctive after expressions of emotion or opinion.
➔ Although not immediately apparent, "Sei que soa um pouco estranho" implies that "I know that it *might* sound strange." After verbs expressing belief, knowledge, opinion, or feeling, followed by que, the subjunctive is sometimes used. While the indicative can be used here, the meaning differs slightly: using the subjunctive emphasizes the speaker's subjective viewpoint or expresses doubt.
-
Toda a minha vida vai mudar
➔ Future Tense (Vai + Infinitive)
➔ "Vai mudar" expresses the future using the auxiliary verb "ir" (vai, third person singular of ir) + the infinitive form of the verb "mudar" (to change).
-
Não vão entrar / Não podem ver / Sê a menina que tu tens de ser
➔ Imperative Mood; Devoir+Infinitive (Obligation); Negative Commands
➔ "Não vão entrar" and "Não podem ver" are negative commands (do not enter, cannot see). "Sê a menina que tu tens de ser" is imperative mood and express obligation: Be the girl that you have to be.
