배울 내용
Hey friend! Ready to make your conversations way more engaging? This chapter is exactly what you need. You've learned plenty of words and sentences so far, but how do you ask questions or say 'no'? Or, for example, how do you say 'blue car'?
Here, you'll discover how incredibly easy it is to make a sentence negative. Just place the word 'não' before your verb, and you're done! Now you can say things like "I don't eat."
Next, we'll dive into asking questions. Can you believe that for 'yes/no' questions in Portuguese, all you have to do is change your intonation? Yes, you heard that right! You say the sentence exactly as it is, just raise your voice at the end. It's super cool!
Now, what if you want to ask 'What?', 'Who?', or 'Where?' Don't worry, we'll learn that too. You'll start with the question word, add the verb, and then throw in a nice 'é que' to sound like a native. For instance, if you're at a restaurant and want to ask What is that? or get directions from someone
Where should I go?, all of this will be smooth sailing with these rules. And finally, we'll learn where to put adjectives. In English, we say 'blue car,' but in Portuguese, most of the time, you need to put the noun first, then the adjective. Like 'carro azul.' So, after this chapter, you'll be able to ask and answer questions in Portuguese, use negation, and make your descriptions much more precise. Ready for a real conversation? Let's go!

자주 하는 실수
In Portuguese, the negative marker 'não' must precede the verb, not follow it.
Adjectives in Portuguese almost always come after the noun they modify.
While 'é que' is used for emphasis, using it twice in one question is redundant.
