Questions & Answers about A que horas terminas o trabalho?
Why is it 'A que horas' and not just 'Que tempo' or 'Que horas'?
English asks 'What time', but Portuguese literally asks 'At what hours'. You need the preposition a (at) when asking for a specific time an action happens, and the word horas is always plural in this expression.
Could I use 'Quando' instead of 'A que horas'?
Where is the word for 'you' in this sentence?
Why is there an 'o' before 'trabalho'?
In English, we just say 'finish work', but Portuguese routinely uses definite articles (o, a, os, as) before nouns like this. Here, o means 'the', so you are literally saying 'finish the work'.
