Questions & Answers about A farmácia fica entre o café e o banco.
Why does the sentence use fica instead of está to say where the pharmacy is?
Does the preposition entre change if the nouns after it are plural or feminine?
Do I always need to repeat the article o for both café and banco?
Yes, it is required in Portuguese to keep the definite articles for both nouns in this context. While in English you might sometimes say "between the cafe and bank", Portuguese is stricter and requires the article o before both specific places.
Does café mean the physical shop here, or just the drink?
It means the shop! Just like in English, o café refers to both the hot beverage you drink and the physical establishment or coffee shop where you go to buy it.
