Hi! Thanks for you comment and question. For now, I don't have any Q&A sessions planned yet, but I will think about it. Besides, bear in mind that you can always ask me any questions here in the comment session. I am more than glad to take them.🙂

Oi Bea, how can I decide between using the perfect past and the imperfect past of 'ser'? I was a teenager (imperfect past) I was an au pair (perfect past) Is it because being a teenager is classified as being a stretch of time, but being an au pair is only a single point in time? But what if you were an au pair for your entire adolescence, haha? And how do you click your fingers? Using the middle finger and the thumb? It's so cool how you can do it so loudly
Oi Peter!! What a coincidence!! I have just brought this subject up at lunchtime with my husband!! I will definitely make a lesson on it. In the meantime, I will try to simplify it for you. If you see past events as single points in time, use the perfect past. Ex. Eu fui uma boa aluna / Eu fui au pair / Eu já morei nos Estados Unidos - These events would be single marks on a timeline. Now, instead of marks, imagine the same events as little boxes that you can open and see what is inside them.The same events are somehow stretched (imperfect past) Ex. Eu era uma boa aluna quando era criança / Eu era au pair quando morei nos Estados Unidos / Quando eu morava nos Estados Unidos, conheci várias cidades. As for the click 😅 you should leave your index finger loose so that it hits the middle finger (I will make a lesson on it too 😂)
Obrigado Bea! I think I spot a pattern here. If I use the phrase "'when' I was a something", then say what activity occurred during that stretch in time, then I use 'era'. But if I just say I was something, without using 'when', then I use 'fui'. But I will definitely watch your future lesson on this as well as the one on the finger clicking, haha! :)
Thank you for your lessons. They are great. 😉 I have a question. On Duolingo, they sometimes construct the pretérito imperfeito by adding "costumava" instead of conjugating the main verb, so to speak. Can you add "costumava" before any verb or only with some verbs or under certain circumstances? Can I choose freely between conjugating a verb or just put "costumava" before the verb to express pretérito imperfeito? Do you have a video about this maybe?
Olá! I'm glad ou like the videos! 😊 The verb 'costumar' is related to the noun 'costume', which means 'habit'. So you can use 'costumava' whenever you want to emphasize that an action was habitual, repeated. 'Costumava' will add extra information to the action mentioned. There is a lesson on 'Costumar', but it focuses is more on the difference between 'Acostumar' and 'Costumar' - th-cam.com/video/KZWRxMpLdj8/w-d-xo.html
Oi, Jeffrey! Tudo bem? Gostei muito das suas frases!! Você usou os verbos no passado corretamente 😊 Vou fazer algumas correções para te ajudar a melhorar cada vez mais. "Antigamente eu tinha *muitos* cabelos, mas agora eu *tenho menos* . Antigamente eu nadava todos os dias *no* verão, mas agora eu *nado um* dia por semana. 🏊♂️
@@jeffreydanner941 Olá!! Considerando o custo de vida em Curitiba e a cotação atual (the current exchange rate) eu diria que sim. Para uma pessoa ou um casal, é um valor razoável.
Boa Tarde BRASIL...adorei este video...obrigado..⚘⚘⚘
Que legal!! Fico feliz!!
É importante praticar sempre esses e outros verbos irregulares. 😊
Sempre adorei o seu canal.
Muito obrigada 😎
