Questions & Answers about Ela não tem tempo livre.
Why does the Portuguese sentence use não tem instead of translating "has no" directly?
Why is the word livre placed after tempo?
In Portuguese, adjectives (words that describe a noun) almost always come directly after the noun they describe. Because of this rule, "free time" translates in reverse order as tempo livre (time free).
How would I change this sentence to say "She is not going to have free time" using the near future taught in this lesson?
Is the verb form tem only used for ela (she)?
No, the conjugation tem is also used for ele (he) and você (you, formal). For example, you could say Você não tem tempo livre to mean "You do not have free time."
