Steven Weiner asked about this lesson:
“I have a question for one of the items in the Lesson 297 quiz (on prepositions).
One question on the quiz reads:
The preposition to in English can be translated in Portuguese as:
por, a, para, pelo
The answer given is “a”. Is this the only correct answer? How about “para”?
Obrigado pela resposta.
My answer was
” You are right Steven.
The translation for TO in Portuguese is not only A . It can be translated as “para, a;
em contraposição a; com o intuito de, to name a few.
And if it´s an adverb then would be other options, but that´s for oncoming lessons.
Anyway, the answer A for the translation of the question is just to match what was taught in the lesson, but again, it´s not the only translation possible”.
Good question!
