Questions & Answers about Eu falo português e inglês.
How do I form falo from the dictionary verb falar?
Falar (to speak) is a regular verb ending in -ar. To say "I speak" (using Eu), you drop the -ar ending to get the stem (fal-), and then add an -o. This rule applies to almost all regular -ar verbs when talking about yourself in the present tense.
Do I always need to include the word Eu (I) in a sentence like this?
Why aren't português and inglês capitalized?
In Portuguese, the names of languages, nationalities, and months are written with lowercase letters unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence.
How is the word e (and) pronounced here?
When the word e stands alone to mean "and", it is generally pronounced like the "ee" in the English word "see". Make sure not to pronounce it like the "e" in the English word "pet"!
