Vocês querem passear connosco na praia?

Vocês querem passear connosco na praia?
Do you want to go for a walk with us at the beach?
From Lesson 55:The preposition com (comigo, contigo)·Portuguese (Portugal)

Questions & Answers about Vocês querem passear connosco na praia?

Why is 'with us' translated as connosco instead of com nós?
In Portuguese, the preposition com (with) combines with certain pronouns to make special, single-word forms. Instead of saying com nós, you must use the special combined word connosco. This happens with other pronouns you are learning right now too, like comigo (with me) and contigo (with you).
Why do we use querem passear instead of changing both verbs?
When you have two verbs together like 'want to walk', only the first verb (querer) changes to match the person doing the action (querem for vocês). The second verb stays in its dictionary form, or infinitive (passear).
Why does the sentence use na praia for 'at the beach'?
The word na is a mandatory contraction of the preposition em (in/at/on) and the feminine word for 'the' (a). Because praia (beach) is a feminine noun, you must combine em + a to get na.
What is the difference between passear and just walking?
Passear means to take a walk, stroll, or go out for leisure. While the basic verb andar refers to the physical action of walking, passear specifically implies doing it for fun or relaxation, making it the perfect word for a beach trip.
