Learn Portuguese (Portugal): Eu sonho sempre com um futuro melhor.

In Portuguese, the verb sonhar (to dream) requires the preposition com when you talk about what you are dreaming of. Even though we say 'dream about' or 'dream of' in English, you cannot use sobre or de here. It must be sonhar com.

Why does sempre come after the verb sonho?

In English, frequency words like 'always' usually go before the main verb, as in 'I always dream'. In Portuguese, they typically go immediately after the verb. Because of this, Eu sonho sempre is the most natural word order.

Why is melhor placed after futuro?

Unlike in English, where adjectives go before the noun ('a better future'), Portuguese adjectives usually go after the noun they describe. Melhor means 'better' (it is the irregular comparative of bom, meaning 'good'), and it follows this standard rule: um futuro melhor.

Could I drop the word Eu in this sentence?

Yes! Because the verb form sonho only ever goes with Eu (I), the subject pronoun is completely optional. You will often hear native speakers simply say Sonho sempre com um futuro melhor without any loss of meaning.
