Questions & Answers about Que apeadeiro é que recebe mais de dez comboios por hora?
Why is it mais de dez instead of mais do que dez?
When you are comparing quantities and the comparison is followed directly by a number, you must use mais de (more than) or menos de (less than). You only use mais do que when comparing two different nouns or actions, like saying one train is faster than another.
Could I say Qual apeadeiro instead of Que apeadeiro?
In European Portuguese, it is much more natural to use que immediately before a noun to mean 'which' or 'what' (e.g., que apeadeiro, que comboio). While qual translates to 'which', it is generally used on its own without a following noun, or directly before the verb ser (like in Qual é o teu comboio?).
What is the purpose of é que in this sentence?
What is the difference between an apeadeiro and an estação?
An estação is a full train station with staff, buildings, and multiple platforms. An apeadeiro is a smaller, often unstaffed train halt or stop, usually found in rural areas or small towns, where the train only stops briefly.
