Questions & Answers about Candidatas-te àquele cargo amanhã?
Why does àquele have an accent mark?
The verb candidatar-se (to apply) always pairs with the preposition a. When this preposition meets the demonstrative pronoun aquele (that), they merge: a + aquele = àquele. The grave accent shows that this contraction happened. In English we apply 'for' a job, but in Portuguese you apply 'to' (a) it.
Why is there a -te attached to candidatas?
Why use the present tense candidatas when the sentence is about tomorrow (amanhã)?
Just like in English ('Are you applying tomorrow?'), conversational Portuguese frequently uses the present tense to talk about the near future, especially for fixed plans or things happening very soon.
Could I use emprego instead of cargo here?
You could, but cargo is a better fit for 'position' or 'role'. While emprego means 'job' in a general sense, cargo refers to the specific post or title within a company that someone holds or applies for.
