Resurrecting our Portuguese, we will learn how to properly use the word contains?
I have always had great care in writing the Portuguese in the correct form, without abbreviations and much less containing misspelled words and errors in the concordances. I know this is very difficult, but always try to learn when doubt arises.
The question today was with the verb “contain”. The word says it contains are correct and contain, but why?
Here is the explanation:
- Contains:
3Third person singular present indicative of the verb contain
2Third person singular imperative of the verb contain - Contain:
3Third person plural present indicative of the verb contain.
In other words, contains with acute accent is used in the singular and contain accented circumflex is used in plural. Same is the case of the have and have…
It is proud of Rosana ehn! :) rsrrs
*Rosana is my friend who always helps me in doubt Portuguese, but this one I found myself.
Contains is when you speak in the singular, contain is when many people have (not plural)
Examples:
1- Singular – This girl has a nice ring.
2- Plural – These girls contain some beautiful rings.
Saw the difference? This is a beautiful explanation, simple, but a great explanation.
(I learned this today, the Portuguese class ^ ^’ I care a lot about the subject!)
Bom o topico, but does not explain the title at the end.
" 'You contains' or 'contain'?"
The subject is "you". So in the example, remains plural (you, plural).
So that will always be "you contain" and never with acute.
It is understood that it is:
You contain; and
You contain.
But what do you do when the predicate is plural?
The right is:
Contains the information you; (We exclude this)
You contain the information;
You contain information; or
You contain information? It ultimo, obviously, can also delete.
The doubt lies between the second and third.
As the verb is affected by the subject, I am understanding that it is irrelevant whether the predicate is plural or singular, only the subject.
Thank you!!

Word recognizes as correct: contains, and contains contains.
For those unaware, really complicated.

How to conjugate the verb in the present tense obtain?
EX: they get or they get
What is the correct way? For searching on google I found two ways.
Thank you.
Our, Thank you very much!!! Needed that, it was with this question and did not know the answer. And of course, always write to the Portuguese right, is great. Simply, I try to follow all the rules of grammar that are offered to us, He is the best, and is leaving some situations more enlightening. It's sad to see cases of people who write all, anything and everything wrong. I have friends who are well, and our, is horrible, I correct them and they get mad. But, do what, nor? It's a shame that all the accents fall (ok, not all, but a great majority of the words, lose the accent, that drug, many years learning this stuff, for this, e na boa, I prefer the way it is today, things that have no accent, will understand queer, or harder). Ultimately, then you can give a pass to my blog, would be grateful. Thanks and good luck with your blog. Hugs, c.

Very well!!! Gostei the far: contains you and you contain… rs
But how am chatinha – My biggest brand – I suggested and ratifying a babadinho. Sugiro a mudança da palavrinha "ressuscitando" por "compreendendo" or something, uma vez que ressuscitar tem um significado que não caberia no "nosso português", because it is very much alive…hehehe
It, I do not pay!!!
