Questions & Answers about Tu hás de vencer o jogo e levantar o troféu!
Why use hás de vencer instead of just the future tense vencerás?
The structure haver + de + infinitive is a very common way in Portuguese to express a strong conviction, a promise, or an emotional certainty about the future. While vencerás merely states a future fact, hás de vencer feels more like saying "you are bound to win" or "I strongly believe you will win!"
Do I need to repeat hás de before the second verb, levantar?
Could I use ganhar instead of vencer to say "win the game"?
I sometimes see this phrase written with a hyphen as hás-de. Is that also correct?
