Olá! This post is very important! You are going to learn how to organize a sentence with a preposition in Portuguese. Some sentences need to have a specific preposition, which is required by a specific verb. Here we will learn some of them and – of course – practice them! Ready?

What is a preposition?

First, we need to understand what a preposition is.

List of Portuguese prepositions:

Verbs that requires a preposition to connect them to the complement:

1. estar em

2. precisar de

3. voltar para

6. começar a
