Questions & Answers about A nossa família mora em Londres em junho e julho.
Why are junho and julho not capitalized in this sentence?
In Portuguese, the months of the year are always written with lowercase letters, unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence.
How do you say 'in' a certain month?
You just use the basic preposition em. To say 'in June', you simply say em junho. You don't need to combine it with any words for 'the' when talking about months.
Why does the sentence start with A nossa instead of just nossa?
In European Portuguese, you usually put the word for 'the' before possessive words like 'my', 'your', or 'our'. Because família is a feminine singular word, we use A before nossa. To an English speaker, it looks like it literally says 'The our family'.
Since a family has lots of people in it, why is the verb mora singular instead of plural?
