Veelgemaakte fouten
Eu sou triste hoje.Eu estou triste hoje.Temporary states use 'estar', not 'ser'. 'Estou triste' = I feel sad (now).
Lamento que estás a passar por isso.Lamento que estejas a passar por isso.'Lamentar que' requires the subjunctive: 'estejas', not the indicative 'estás'.
Ela se sentiu culpada.Ela sentiu-se culpada.In PT-PT, the pronoun follows the verb (enclisis): 'sentiu-se', not 'se sentiu'.
Arrependo-me de o que disse.Arrependo-me do que disse.'De' + 'o' contracts to 'do'. Always use the contracted form.
Tenho medo a falar em público.Tenho medo de falar em público.'Ter medo de' + infinitive, not 'ter medo a'.
