Notes
[edit | edit source]- papel (paper) never takes the indefinite articles. The following are the possibilities:
- o papel
- os papeis
- Remember that to make an -l noun plural, switch the -l to -is.
- Furthermore, os papéis may also mean "the forms" or "the documents."
- o pedaço/a folha de papel (the piece/sheet of paper)
- os pedaços/as folhas de papel (the pieces/sheets of paper)
- um pedaço/uma folha de papel (a piece/sheet of paper)
- uns pedaços/umas folhas de papel (some/a few pieces/sheets of paper)
Here are a few extra vocabulary words:
o teste - quiz or multiple-choice question (you're being "tested" on it)
a prova - test (you're trying to "prove" you know it)
o exame - exam
a nota - numerical grade
a pergunta, questão - question (pergunta tends to be used more for spoken questions, questão for written ones)
a resposta - answer (think of "response")
a redação - essay
- a dissertação, a redação dissertativa - expository essay
Be careful not to mix up the meanings of teste and prova - testes are worth less than provas, which are in turn worth less than exames.
