Questions & Answers about O menino quer ir àquele carrossel emocionante.
Why does àquele have an accent mark on it?
The word àquele (to that) is a contraction. The verb ir (to go) requires the preposition a (to). When this a meets the demonstrative word aquele (that), they merge into one word. The grave accent pointing to the left is added simply to show you that two 'a's combined: a + aquele = àquele.
Why use àquele instead of another word for 'that', like a esse?
Why isn't there a connecting word between quer and ir?
The verb querer (to want) is followed directly by an infinitive verb (the basic, unconjugated form of a verb). You don't need to add a preposition like de or a between them, so 'wants to go' translates directly and simply to quer ir.
Does the adjective emocionante need to change to match carrossel?
