Lesson 7. Module 4 review

I can use everything this module teaches for describing a home and finding the way: há and ter, contractions of a preposition and an article, place prepositions, ir and vir, querer, poder, dever, ter de, and saber.

What we review

There are no new rules in this lesson — only tasks covering all six lessons of the module. • “há” — when no owner is named, “ter” — when one is. • A preposition and an article join into one word: no, na, do, da, ao, à, pelo, num. • Countries: “no Brasil”, but “em Portugal”. • Place prepositions end in “de”, and this “de” joins the article; “entre” has no “de”. • “ir a” — for a short time; “ir para” — for a long time, and for going home; “vir de” — where from. • “querer” and “poder” + infinitive; the polite “Queria …”. • “ter de” and “dever” — have to, should; “saber” + infinitive — know how to.

Há or ter

The same place is described in two ways, depending on whether an owner is named.

No owner named — há	Owner named — ter
Há uma garagem	O Pedro tem uma garagem
Há duas portas	A cozinha tem duas portas

The preposition and the article become one word

With the indefinite article, only em and de contract.

Preposition	+ o / um	+ a / uma	+ os / uns	+ as / umas
em	no	na	nos	nas
de	do	da	dos	das
a	ao	à	aos	às
por	pelo	pela	pelos	pelas
em (indef.)	num	numa	nuns	numas
de (indef.)	dum	duma	duns	dumas
