Questions & Answers about Eles bebem muito vinho.
Why is it muito and not muita or muitos here?
Muito is describing the noun vinho (wine), which is a masculine singular word. When muito means "a lot of" or "much", it has to match the gender and number of the noun it belongs to.
In English we say "a lot OF wine". Where is the "of" in Portuguese?
You don't need a separate word for "of" here. The word muito translates directly to "much" or "a lot of" all on its own when it is placed before a noun.
Wait, doesn't muito just mean "very"?
Why does bebem end in an "m"?
Bebem is the "they" form of the regular verb beber (to drink). In the present tense, verbs ending in "-er" take the "-em" ending for eles, elas, and vocês.
