    In Portugal, they may use these verbs differently. In Brazilian Portuguese though, we have: MACHUCAR: the act of hurting, mainly in a physical manner, but also metaphorically. It demands a direct object. "Ben hurt his sister with that action figure over there" = "O Ben machucou a irmã com aquele boneco ali." "That girl hurt me with those words" = "Aquela garota me machucou com aquelas palavras." DOER: Feeling pain, used with parts of the body. It can be used metaphorically too. It doesn't need an object (intransitive verb). "My leg hurts" = "Minha perna dói." "My soul hurts" = "Minha alma dói" MAGOAR: to hurt metaphorically only "Her attitude hurts me" = "A atitude dela me magoa." "Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead." ="Às vezes permanece com amor, às vezes, em vez disso, magoa."

    There's no easy way, just do as many exercises as you can. It'll help you memorize the endings. Start with the definite articles, they're fundamental to understanding the rest. Then the indefinite articles, adjectives and relative pronouns, demonstrative and indefinite pronouns, der-words, ein-words and weak declension nouns. Good luck!

    "Please, if I send you an email labeled as urgent, I expect you to treat it as such and submit it as soon as you can. You must stop working on whatever you're working on and do it right away then you can resume your previous assignment after submitting it." So harsh haha

    Hi, I'm not French but I basically eliminated my Brazilian accent from my English. I just kept listening to americans speaking and imitated them, until it was perfect. I guess there's not a secret for softening an accent, it's purely hard work. I used to find the american 'r' impossible to do, but now my tongue is much more familiar with it. Just keep practicing and you'll get it! You have to be like a little child, listen and imitate, don't try to put any of your inflection until you've dominated the sounds and the melody. Be patient and good luck!

    1- "How are you able to know (where to begin the story)?" or "How can you be so sure (where to begin the story)?" 2- You arbitrarily decide (where to begin the story--> object of the verb 'decide').

    It means she should write "In the beginning" to deceive the reader, because in reality she will be describing the event almost from its end. She should do that because "readers are impatient".

    It's a manner adverbial clause. It answers "how does he point out the inconsistency?" By putting into practice their ideas.

    It doesn't really make a difference. Both are correct. The "being" is implicit in the first sentence.

    Can I use "jemals" in these sentences? How do you usually express "ever", in German, in this specific sense: "The best day ever!" "The best movie ever!" etc. Thanks!
