| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Braden: (ask --- something about the dialogue-Peter always does a little review about the previous lessons. explain what you are thinking about the storyline in the lesson, so the students can follow and participate - don't make them guess.) |
| ---: response |
| Braden: Brazilians have a number of registration cards they use for a variety of purposes. |
| ---: The main one is the RG which is a registry number given to every Brazilian citizen. |
| Braden: It's similar to a Social Security Number but less ubiquitos. |
| ---: Then you have the CPF which is less meaningful, as it can be given to anyone anywhere in the world, Brazilian or not but it's a bit more practical as they are required for cell phone contracts, internet service, part of rental agreements and bank accounts. |
| Braden: And pretty any time you need your RG you need your CPF too right? but not vice versa |
| ---: Right. |
| Braden: (put story about getting your bank account transferred to Brazil?) |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Braden: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| ---: The first word we'll look at is quais. |
| Braden: quais is the plural form of the word qual. Qual is the Portuguese word for "which" as is "Which documents?" |
| ---: In Portuguese however, when qual is used with a plural noun (like documents) it needs to be pluralized to agree in number with the noun. That's why it's "quais documentos" and not "qual documentos." |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| ---: (break down) |
| Braden: what's our next word? |
| ---: The next word we'll look at is constrangimento |
| Braden: constrangimento means "an uncomfortable or embarrassing situation." I've always felt this word was a cognate with constrain but I spend some time researching and I couldn't find any credible source for that. |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| ---: (break down) |
| Braden: what's our next word? |
| ---: The next word we'll look at is Documentos. |
| Braden: As we mentioned earlier, Brazilians need a lot of documents. |
| ---: The Brazilian Portuguese phrase 'seus documentos' means "your official documents," such as your CPF, RG, and depending on your stage in life your marriage certificate, birth certificate, school record, etc. |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| ---: (break down) |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Braden: So ---, what's the focus of this lesson? |
| ---: The focus of this lesson is the formal future tense. In the dialogue, we heard the phrase Secretária - Seu documento estará pronto amanhã pela manhã. |
| Braden: Which we translated as "Secretária - Your document will be ready tomorrow morning." This phrase uses the formal future tense. |
| ---: When you use the future tense with an adverb of item that refers to the present (such as agora), or when the present moment is just implied, the future tense takes on a conjectural meaning. |
| Braden: But when the future tense is used in a future context (for example, with an adverb such as amanhã or o ano que vem) its meaning is just future. |
| ---: Because the ir- infinitive construction is so commonly used (vou cantar, vamos sair, vão se machucar) and because the present tense can often be used with a future meaning (Amanhã assisto a todas as aulas. no próximo ano me caso com José), and because it's just so simple, the formal future tense hasn't been emphasised until now. |
| Braden: Could you give us a sample sentence? |
| ---: Sure. Camilo estuda muito e será um bom advogado. - Os estudantes saberão a lição antes do exame. - Vocês viajarão pelo Brasil no verão. |
| Braden: and we have several more examples in the PDF. |
| ---: It's also important to remember that Object pronouns will precede the future forms |
| Braden: for example? |
| ---: Eu lhe escreverei durante o verão. - Elas o prepararão hoje. - Vocês a verão quando quiserem. Nós os escutaremos se pudermos. |
| Braden: The only irregular future forms are fazer, dizer, and trazer. The irregular feature is that the -ze- is lost, so they are easy to learn. |
| ---: That's right. they just become fará, trará, and dirá. |
| Braden: On quick Note - colloquial Portuguese prefers the ir + infinitive construction. So on to the conjecture section. In English, we express conjecture by using a number of devices. For example - |
| Braden: It must be ten o'clock. |
| Braden: José probably has his new car by now. |
| Braden: Do you supopse Maria plays the guitar? |
| ---: But Portuguese uses the future tense. |
| Braden: And All endings are the same, no matter if it is an -ar, -er, -ir verb, or even pôr. |
| ---: terei - i probably have |
| ---: terá - you probably have |
| ---: terá - he/she probably has |
| ---: teremos - we probably have |
| ---: terão - y'all probably have |
| ---: terão - they probably have |
| Braden: So to give a feeling of conjucture, you use the formal future tense. The key to distinguish is that when you use the future tense with an adverb of time that refers to the "present" (such as agora), or when the present moment is just implied, the future tense takes on a conjectural meaning. |
| ---: Serão dez horas agora. - it must be ten o'clock now. |
| ---: José já terá o seu carro novo. - José probably has his new car by now. |
| ---: Maria tocará violão? - Do you suppose Maria plays the guitar? |
