Questions & Answers about Nós participaremos num desafio incrível.
Why do we use num instead of just em after the verb?
The verb participar (to participate) requires the preposition em (in) to show what you are participating in. Because desafio is a singular noun, we also need the word for 'a/an', which is um. In Portuguese, em and um always combine to form the contraction num.
What tense is participaremos, and how is it formed?
It is the future tense. To form the future tense for regular verbs, you take the full infinitive word (participar) and add the ending for 'we', which is -emos. This gives us participar + emos = participaremos (we will participate).
Do we have to include the pronoun Nós at the beginning of the sentence?
Would the adjective incrível change if the noun it described was feminine?
No, it would stay exactly the same. Adjectives ending in -l (like incrível or fácil) do not change based on gender, so they work for both masculine and feminine nouns. However, if the noun were plural, you would drop the -l and add -is, making it incríveis.
