Com a prática, escrever a redação fica mais fácil.

Com a prática means with practice or through practice.

Portuguese often uses com in this kind of expression where English uses with:

• Com o tempo = With time / Over time
• Com experiência = With experience
• Com a prática = With practice

Placed at the beginning, it gives the context first: as you practice, the task becomes easier.

Portuguese uses definite articles much more often than English.

So even though English says with practice, Portuguese naturally says com a prática. The article a is not necessarily pointing to one specific practice session; it is just the normal way to express the idea.

This is very common:

• com a idade = with age
• com o tempo = with time
• na prática = in practice

Here, escrever is an infinitive, and it functions like a noun phrase: writing the essay.

In Portuguese, an infinitive can act as the subject of a sentence:

• Estudar é importante. = Studying is important.
• Viajar custa caro. = Traveling is expensive.
• Escrever a redação fica mais fácil. = Writing the essay becomes easier.

So escrever a redação is the thing that becomes easier.

A redação is the object of escrever.

So:

• escrever = to write
• a redação = the essay / composition

Together:

• escrever a redação = to write the essay

In Brazilian Portuguese, redação often refers to a school essay, composition, or written assignment.

Ficar often means to become, to get, or to end up in a certain state.

So:

• fica mais fácil = becomes easier / gets easier

This suggests a change over time: with practice, it wasn’t as easy before, but it becomes easier.

If you said é mais fácil, that would sound more like a general statement:

• Escrever a redação é mais fácil = Writing the essay is easier

But fica mais fácil emphasizes improvement through practice.

Because fácil is describing the whole action escrever a redação, not the noun redação by itself.

The subject is the infinitive phrase escrever a redação, and when an infinitive phrase is the subject, the adjective usually stays in the masculine singular form:

• Estudar é difícil.
• Aprender português fica mais fácil.
• Escrever a redação fica mais fácil.

So fácil is not agreeing with redação; it is describing the act of writing it.

Mais fácil means easier, while fácil means easy.

The sentence expresses comparison with the earlier situation:

• before practice = less easy
• after practice = easier

That is why mais fácil fits well here. It implies progress.

Sometimes you may hear or see com prática, but com a prática is the more natural and standard wording in this sentence.

For a general idea like with practice, Brazilian Portuguese often prefers the article:

• Com a prática, tudo melhora.
• Com o tempo, você aprende.

So for learners, com a prática is the safest and most natural choice here.

Not always. Redação can mean:

• essay
• composition
• written assignment
• sometimes a piece of formal writing for school or an exam

In Brazil, it is especially common in educational contexts, such as schoolwork or entrance exams.

So the best translation depends on context, but essay is often a good choice.

Yes. Portuguese word order is flexible.

The original sentence:

• Com a prática, escrever a redação fica mais fácil.

You could also say:

• Escrever a redação fica mais fácil com a prática.

Both are natural. Starting with Com a prática gives emphasis to the condition or cause first.

Because the subject is the whole infinitive phrase escrever a redação, which is treated as singular.

Compare:

• Escrever é importante.
• Ler e escrever são importantes.

In your sentence, there is only one action phrase as the subject, so the verb is singular:

• escrever a redação fica mais fácil

Even if the meaning is already known, a learner might notice that the structure is a bit different from English.

A very natural English rendering would be:

• With practice, writing the essay gets easier.
• With practice, it becomes easier to write the essay.

The Portuguese version literally uses to write the essay as the subject, which is completely normal in Portuguese.
