Questions & Answers about A mulher organiza o evento para ajudar a comunidade.
Why do we use para ajudar instead of just ajudar?
In English, you can just say "to help" to show purpose. In Portuguese, when you want to express "in order to" do something, you must use the preposition para followed by the infinitive verb. So, para ajudar literally means "in order to help".
Could I use por instead of para in this sentence?
Is organiza a regular verb?
Yes! It comes from the regular verb organizar (to organize). Because the subject is A mulher (she), we drop the -ar ending and add the regular third-person singular ending -a, giving us organiza.
