Q & A

What is the basic definition of a crase?

A crase is the fusion of the preposition 'a' with the article 'a', forming 'à'. It occurs when a word requires the preposition 'a' and the following word is a feminine noun that admits the article 'a'.

When is the crase mandatory in adverbial phrases?

The crase is mandatory in feminine adverbial phrases, such as 'à esquerda', 'à direita', and 'à frente'.

Why is there no crase in 'a todos'?

'A todos' does not require a crase because 'todos' is a masculine word, and crase only occurs with feminine nouns or pronouns.

When do the words 'terra' and 'casa' take a crase?

The words 'terra' and 'casa' do not take a crase when used alone without any specific detail, like in 'cheguei a casa' or 'cheguei a terra'. However, when they are specified, a crase is required, as in 'cheguei à casa dos meus pais' or 'cheguei à terra dos antepassados'.

How does the crase function with the relative pronoun 'a qual'?

The crase is used with the pronoun 'a qual' when it is preceded by a verb that requires the preposition 'a'. For example, in 'a revista a qual me referi', the verb 'referir-se' requires the preposition 'a', making the crase necessary.

Is there a crase with the pronouns 'Dona', 'Senhora', and 'Senhorita'?

Yes, the crase is used with these pronouns, as in 'ele explicou o caso à senhora' or 'ele explicou o caso à senhorita'.

When should the crase be used with the names of cities?

The crase is used with city names when the preposition 'a' is followed by the definite article. For example, 'vou à Itália' (since you say 'volto da Itália'), but no crase is used in 'vou a Portugal' (since you say 'volto de Portugal').

Is the crase mandatory before possessive pronouns?

The use of crase before feminine possessive pronouns is optional. For instance, 'vamos à sua casa' or 'vamos a sua casa' are both correct.

How does the crase work with proper feminine names?

The crase can be used or omitted before feminine proper names, like 'levou à Rosa' or 'levou a Rosa'. Both are acceptable.

What is the rule for crase after the word 'até'?

After the word 'até', the use of crase is optional. For example, 'fui até à escola' and 'fui até a escola' are both correct.
