1. When "have" means "possess", it doesn't have present continuous tense.
It's a status, not an act.
2. My father bought a car two weeks ago, and now he still owns it.
Present perfect tense is used when one act happened in the PAST, and it still lasts till NOW or has influence on the PRESENT.
0 votedAugust 5, 20151- Confused about Prepositions in Portuguese I can't distinguish these words: disso, daquilo desse(a), daquele(a) nesse(a), naquele(a) nisso, naquilo deste(a), neste(a) I show you some sentences from Duolingo Eu gosto disso. (I like THAT) Eu gosto daquilo. (I like THAT) Eu penso naquilo. (I think about THAT) Eu gosto desse café. (I like THAT coffee) Eu gosto daquele cachrro. (I like THAT dog) Eu sou bom naquilo. (I am good at THAT) Nós somos bons nisso. (We are good at THAT) Eu gosto daqueles sapatos. (I like THOSE shoes) Eu gosto dessas botas. (I like THOSE boots) Eu penso naquelas roupas. (I think of THOSE clothes) From these sentences, it seems that some words share the same meaning THAT and THOSE I wonder how to distinguish them and use them properly?? And what's the difference between these sentences? Ele toca o lobo. (He touches THE wolf) Ele toca no lobo. (He touches THE wolf)June 28, 201540
My first post
Hello everybody! I´m Gabriel, from Argentina. I´m here trying to improve my english. I learned english during the high school and I try to practice everyday at work or in my house. Every test I did gives me an intermediate level. Now I really don't know what my level is, but I need to practice a lot to get a job in New Zealand.
Regards to all!I don't understand what you mean by "Every test I did gives me an intermediate level"
0 votedJune 21, 20152- Confused about PRONOUNS in Portuguese Here are some examples from Duolingo courses: Your shirt ---- Sua / Tua camisa; Your cat ---- Teu / Seu gato I've figured out My / Mine: Meu(s) / Minha(s); and Our(s) : Nosso(s) / Nossa(s) but still cannot distinguish your(s) : tua(s), sua(s), seu(s), teu(s); And what about Their(s), Your(s) [plural], Her(s), His, Its in Portuguese??June 21, 201550
I was taught phonetic transcrption in primary school, so when I memorize a new word, I know its standard pronunciation.
I've been used to memorizing new words by their phonetic transcription and their pronunciation.
When I learn Portuguese on busuu and duolingo, it's hard for me to master Portuguese words because they don't have phonetic transcription! And I don't know its pronunciation rules :(
