Questions & Answers about Eles têm seis amigos em Londres e sete em Lisboa.
We learned that um and dois change depending on gender. Do seis and sete change too?
No, they do not. In Portuguese, only the numbers one (um or uma) and two (dois or duas) change to match masculine or feminine words. From three onwards, the numbers stay exactly the same, which is why seis and sete do not change endings for amigos.
Why does the verb têm have an accent mark?
That mark is called a circumflex. It is used here to show that the verb is plural. Tem without the accent means he or she has, while têm with the accent means they have. It is a very helpful visual clue when reading!
Why do we use em Londres instead of no Londres or na Londres?
Why is London written as Londres?
