PORTUGUESE. 163 unit 7 Review these verb form: posse Cox pretendo Cox quero (Ox conhego (dx The above verb forms all say 'I' do something. We will calll them 'I-fo1 ms.' Repeat them again, this time preceded by eu eu posso (ox eu pretendo (x ex quero ex eu conhego Cox The unstressed -o ending is typical of I-forms. Listen for it in the additional examples below. The examples are new to you. You need not memorize their meanings. You will probably recognize them, though, because they are related to infinitive forms that you have already practiced. chego (dx 'T arrive" fico (Ox stay! estado (dx ' stuay’ trabalho (x 0 'T work’ saio (dx 'T leave! Les PORTUGUESE 4, You have had several other I-forms that do not have this typical ending and which therefore can be said to be irregular vou (ox sou (x 5. pretende (x conhece eye vai (ox esta (ox a G i 6.

( x 7 We could call these forms 'He-forms,' 'You~forms,' ‘third person singular forms," etc., etc. We will simplify matters and settle on just one designation. Henceforth, we will call all such forms 'He-forms.' Practice these he-forms again. PORTUGUESE Aes a Inés pode... x © Paulo no pode... ( 1x a professora pretende... (Ix © professor nao pretende...

He-forms, like I-forms, have typical endings, but these involve more patterns than we want to get into at this point. Instead, we want to introduce concept of the ‘We~form,' the form of the verb that says ‘we’ do something. For example, here is the form for ‘we know.! conhecemos ( }x ( )x Here is the form for ‘we can.' podemos (x dx 10, Here is 'we pretend 11. An@ here is Cole Cox 12. ‘The unstressed always signals a we-form.

Thus far you have seen o senhor and a senhora these are the forms that are used when one is talking with persons that one does not know too well and with whom one does not feel particularly close. This will almost always be the case in your initial contacts with a Portuguese speaker. After a degree of familiarity or friendship has been established, the Portuguese speaker may feel that it is appropriate to switch to another form of address. He will suggest that both of you begin to use vocé vocé Cox Cx PORTUGUESE az 52. Yoc8 is the form for both sexes. Bom dia Paulo. Vocé vai bem? = ( )x Bom dia Yara. Voc8 vai bem? ( Ix 53.

You should now go to the dialog, which appears on the next page and which is also recorded on tape. Look over the English translation of the dialog so that you know what you are dealing with. Then go to the ronunciation and tape. The dialog is recorded in two steps, Fluency. In the Pronunciation step the sentences of the dialog are broken down into smaller units to make it easier for you to mimic and repeat. In the Fluency step the entire sentence is voicea for you to repeat. In recording both steps we have carefully timed the presentation of material, so that you should be able to let the tape run while you are repeating. However, PORTUGUESE 173 if you need to stop or listen to something again, do so. Keep your book open and refer to the English or Portuguese as necessary. Your goal is to know the sentences well enough so that you can participate in the dialog with your instructor in the check-out session.
