Key Grammar Structures
-
Eu nunca vou deixar, de ouvir a tua voz
➔ Use of the future tense with 'vou' + infinitive to express intention or future actions.
➔ 'Vou' is a contraction of 'vou a', meaning 'I will' in English. It's used with the infinitive to form the near future tense.
-
Que eu sem ti não vou ficar não
➔ Use of double negation with 'não' for emphasis in negative sentences.
➔ In Portuguese, double negation is common for emphasis, so 'não' appears twice to strengthen the negative statement.
-
Mesmo quando eu fico sem dizer nada
➔ Use of 'quando' to introduce temporal clauses meaning 'when' or 'even when'.
➔ 'Quando' introduces a temporal clause meaning 'when', indicating a specific time or conditional situation.
-
Mesmo que o mundo se vire contra nós
➔ Use of 'se' in the subjunctive mood to express hypothetical or concessive clauses introduced by 'mesmo que'.
➔ 'Mesmo que' introduces a concessive clause expressing contrast or opposition, often using the subjunctive mood.
-
Eu não sei se vais ficar, mas eu vou dizer
➔ Use of the subjunctive mood in 'se vais ficar' to indicate uncertainty or doubt.
➔ 'Se' introduces a conditional clause, and the verb 'vais' indicates future, but the subjunctive mood is used due to uncertainty.
-
Que eu sem ti não vou ficar não
➔ Use of 'não' before the verb for negation, emphasizing the negative statement.
➔ 'Não' is a negation particle used before the verb to form negative sentences, adding emphasis or clarity.
