Questions & Answers about Ela trabalha com noventa e três médicas.

How do we form compound numbers like ninety-three in Portuguese?
To make numbers like ninety-three, Portuguese uses the word e (and) between the tens and the units. You simply take the ten (noventa), add e, and then the unit (três). You will do this for all numbers from 31 to 99.
Does the number três need to change to match the feminine word médicas?
No, três is the same for both masculine and feminine nouns. While the numbers one (um or uma) and two (dois or duas) change to match the gender of the noun, the number three does not.
Does the word médicas mean all ninety-three doctors are women?
Yes! Médicas is the feminine plural form. In Portuguese, if there is a mixed group of men and women, even ninety-two women and one man, the masculine plural médicos must be used. Because this says médicas, we know for sure this is a group of exclusively female doctors.
What is the dictionary form of the verb trabalha?
The dictionary form, or infinitive, is trabalhar (to work). It is a completely regular verb. To match ela (she), you drop the -ar ending and add -a, giving you trabalha.
