- Choose the best translation: "They have been dating for two years."
Answer: Eles namoram há dois anos.
Namorar means 'to date', and há + time expresses how long something has been happening. 'Eles datam' is tempting but datar means putting a date on something, not dating someone.
- Complete: "Nós ___ ao cinema todo sábado."
Answer: vamos
With nós, ir is conjugated as vamos: 'Nós vamos ao cinema.' Vão is tempting because nós is plural, but vão goes with eles, elas or vocês.
- Which sentence correctly says "She likes to play the guitar"?
Answer: Ela gosta de tocar violão.
Instruments take tocar, and gostar needs de: 'Ela gosta de tocar violão.' Jogar is tempting because English uses 'play' for both, but jogar is only for sports and games.
- In Portuguese, what do you call your sister's husband?
Answer: cunhado
Your sister's husband is your cunhado (brother-in-law). Genro is tempting because it is also a husband by marriage, but it means a daughter's husband (son-in-law).
- Your friend spends Saturdays at the lake with a rod and bait, hoping to catch something. What is her hobby?
Answer: pescar
A rod and bait mean fishing, which is pescar. Caçar is tempting because it also involves catching animals, but it means hunting, not fishing.
