Questions & Answers about Nós comemos mais tarde.
Why does the Portuguese sentence use mais (more) instead of a single word for "later"?
In Portuguese, there isn't a single word for "later". Instead, you literally say "more late" (mais tarde). Mais means "more" and tarde means "late" (it is also the word for "afternoon").
If this sentence is the answer, how would I ask "When do we eat?"
Why does the verb end in "-emos"?
Comemos comes from the verb comer (to eat). For regular verbs ending in "-er", the "we" form (nós) always ends in "-emos" in the present tense.
