Questions & Answers about A mulher de quem cuidas precisa do teu apoio.
Why is it de quem instead of just quem?
The verb cuidar means "to take care", but it always requires the preposition de (to take care of). In Portuguese, prepositions must come before the relative pronoun. So, instead of ending the sentence with the preposition like we often do in English ("who you take care of"), you literally say "of whom you take care" (de quem cuidas).
Why does the sentence switch from cuidas (you take care) to precisa (she needs)?
Why is there a do before teu apoio?
Could I just say de teu apoio instead of do teu apoio?
