Summary

TLDRThis lesson delves into the concept of 'regência verbal' (verb governance) in Portuguese, focusing on how verbs are used with or without prepositions. Key verbs are explained in detail, highlighting whether they require a preposition or not, and exceptions where the meaning of the verb can change based on preposition usage. Examples include common verbs like 'amar' (to love), 'namorar' (to date), 'esperar' (to wait), and more, with clear distinctions between transitive direct, indirect, and double transitivity verbs. The lesson also emphasizes the importance of practice and reviewing key concepts for mastering the topic.

Takeaways

  • 😀 Regência verbal refers to how verbs govern their complements, requiring either prepositions or not, depending on the verb.
  • 😀 Transitivity is crucial to understanding regência verbal: verbs can be direct or indirect based on whether they need a complement with or without a preposition.
  • 😀 Some verbs, like 'amar' (to love), 'namorar' (to date), 'adorar' (to adore), and 'esperar' (to wait), are transitive direct, meaning they do not require a preposition in most cases.
  • 😀 Even though 'amar' and 'esperar' can sometimes take a preposition, they remain transitive direct in structure in these specific contexts (e.g., 'Eles amam a Deus').
  • 😀 The verbs 'esquecer' (to forget) and 'lembrar' (to remember) can take prepositions when used with reflexive pronouns (e.g., 'me esqueci dos documentos').
  • 😀 With verbs like 'lembrar', the complement can be both direct and indirect at the same time (e.g., 'Lembrei meu filho das provas' or 'Lembrei as provas ao meu filho').
  • 😀 Some verbs, like 'obedecer' (to obey) and 'desobedecer' (to disobey), are transitive indirect and always require a preposition to connect to their complement (e.g., 'Eu obedeço às regras').
  • 😀 The verb 'preferir' (to prefer) requires the preposition 'a' when used in writing (e.g., 'Prefiro doces a salgados'), not 'do que'.
  • 😀 'Simpatizar' (to sympathize) is a transitive indirect verb and always requires a preposition (e.g., 'Eu simpatizo com vocês').
  • 😀 Verbs like 'agradecer' (to thank), 'perdoar' (to forgive), and 'pagar' (to pay) take a preposition when referring to people but not when referring to things (e.g., 'Agradeci a você' vs. 'Agradeci o dia').

Q & A

  • What is 'regência verbal' and how is it related to grammar?

    -'Regência verbal' refers to the relationship between a verb and its complement, where the verb may require a preposition or not, depending on its type. It is an important concept in grammar that affects the structure of sentences and the meaning of verbs.

  • How does the teacher explain the concept of regência verbal using an analogy?

    -The teacher compares regência verbal to a conductor of an orchestra. Just as the conductor organizes the instruments to create harmony, the verb organizes the complement in a sentence, either with or without a preposition.

  • What are the main types of verbs discussed in the lesson?

    -The lesson discusses verbs that are either 'directly transitive' (requiring no preposition) or 'indirectly transitive' (requiring a preposition). Examples of directly transitive verbs include 'amar' (to love), 'namorar' (to date), and 'adorar' (to adore).

  • Can the verb 'amar' (to love) ever require a preposition?

    -While 'amar' is usually a directly transitive verb, it can sometimes be used with a preposition in specific contexts, such as 'Eles amam a Deus' (They love God), where 'a' is a preposition.

  • What is the mistake often made with the verb 'namorar' (to date)?

    -A common mistake is saying 'namorar com alguém' (to date with someone), but this is incorrect. The verb 'namorar' should be used without a preposition, as in 'Namoro a Joana' (I date Joana).

  • What is the difference between 'esquecer' (to forget) and 'esquecer-se' (to forget oneself)?

    -'Esquecer' is a directly transitive verb, as in 'Esqueci meus documentos' (I forgot my documents), while 'esquecer-se' is reflexive and requires a preposition, as in 'Me esqueci dos meus documentos' (I forgot my documents, reflexively).

  • How does the verb 'lembrar' (to remember) work in regência verbal?

    -The verb 'lembrar' can be used both with and without a preposition. When used without a preposition, it is directly transitive (e.g., 'Lembrei das provas' - I remembered the exams). When used reflexively with a preposition, it becomes indirectly transitive (e.g., 'Me lembrei das provas' - I remembered the exams).

  • What is the rule for using prepositions with the verb 'obedecer' (to obey)?

    -The verb 'obedecer' is an indirectly transitive verb, meaning it always requires a preposition. For example, 'Desobedeça às leis' (Do not disobey the laws), where 'às' is a contraction of the preposition 'a' and the article 'as'.

  • Why is the expression 'do que' incorrect with the verb 'preferir' (to prefer)?

    -'Do que' is incorrect when used with the verb 'preferir'. In correct written usage, the verb 'preferir' must be followed by a preposition 'a', as in 'Prefiro doces a salgados' (I prefer sweets to salty foods).

  • How does the verb 'simpatizar' (to sympathize) work in terms of prepositions?

    -'Simpatizar' is an indirectly transitive verb, meaning it always requires the preposition 'com'. For example, 'Simpatizei com vocês' (I sympathized with you).
