Concordância Verbal - Aula 01 [Prof Noslen]

Concordância Verbal

In this section, the teacher introduces the topic of verbal agreement and explains its relationship with the subject.

Understanding Concordância Verbal

• Verbal agreement involves the verb aligning with its subject. The rule revolves around subject-verb agreement.

• For a simple subject, regardless of its position in the sentence, the verb agrees with it. Example: "Nós fomos estudar na casa da Maria."

• In cases of a compound subject, such as "João e Carlos," placed before the verb, the verb is always in plural form.

• When dealing with synonyms in a compound subject like "a paz e a tranquilidade," where words have similar meanings, the verb can be singular or plural based on context.

Special Cases in Concordância Verbal

• If two subjects are synonymous or there is a gradation of ideas, like "a angústia a inquietação o desespero," the verb can be singular or plural to match this special scenario.

• A gradative subject indicates an increasing intensity or sequence of ideas. In such cases, both singular and plural verbs are acceptable for agreement.

Sujeito Composto e Concordância Verbal

In this section, the instructor discusses subject-verb agreement with compound subjects in Portuguese.

Sujeito Composto Após o Verbo

• Subject-verb agreement allows for plural agreement when a compound subject follows the verb.

• The example "foram ao parque de diversão o filho a mãe e o pai" illustrates this concept.

• Agreement can be made either with the entire compound subject or just the first element.

• Both "foram ao parque de diversão o filho a mãe e o pai" and "foi ao parque de diversão o filho a mãe e o pai" are correct forms of agreement.

• If the first element is plural, such as "os filhos a mãe e o pai," maintain plural agreement throughout.

• This ensures consistency between the subject and verb.

Concordância com Pessoas Verbais

• When dealing with verbal persons (eu, tu, ele, nós, vós, eles), ensure proper agreement based on the composition of the subject.

• For example, "eu tu e seu amigo vamos ao cinema" requires plural verb form due to inclusion of all three persons.

• Second person combined with third person necessitates second-person plural agreement.

• Use "tu e seu amigo vais ao cinema" for correct concordance.

Concordância Verbal: Regras Importantes

This part delves into specific rules for subject-verb agreement in Portuguese.

Regras Específicas

• First-person inclusive subjects (eu tu ele) require first-person plural verb forms (vamos).

• Second and third person together demand second-person plural concordance (vós).

• Understanding these rules is crucial for accurate verbal agreements in writing and speech contexts.

Preparação para o Enem

The instructor emphasizes upcoming Enem preparation and encourages students to stay informed about live sessions.

Enem Preparation Reminder

• Highlighting the proximity of Enem exams serves as a reminder for students to prepare adequately.
