🏋️ Lição 25 — Tenho trabalhado muito!

What Lição 25 teaches

The "lately" tense — tenho trabalhado, tem dormido — six rebel participles, and the life-update kit: acabei de, deixei de, continuo a.

Like every Rumo lesson it runs in eight steps — review of the previous lesson, new words with audio, the grammar properly explained, flashcards and typing drills, a dialogue with comprehension questions, a one-page summary, a test you pass at 70%, and your results. About 40 minutes.

Grammar in this lesson

• Tenho trabalhado — the lately-tense — ter + participle: repeated, recent, and still going on.
• Time with FAZ and HÁ — "for two years", "ago" — Faz dois anos que moro aqui — the duration grammar English gets wrong.

Read the story for this lesson first — it is free: Quanto tempo! (~level B1, sentence-by-sentence translation and audio).

After level B1 you can…

talk about dreams, plans and promises in the future tense · say what you hope, doubt and wish with the subjuntivo · give advice and play "what would you do?" at any dinner table · hold a real opinionated conversation with your Brazilian in-laws. In practice: at Sunday lunch, the family debates — and you join in, disagree politely, and make everyone laugh.

Level B1 is 10 lessons plus the Revisão B1 exam. This is lesson 5 of 10. The other lessons: Um dia eu morarei no Brasil · Espero que você venha! · O que você faria? · Se eu ganhasse… · Concordo… mas discordo! · Quando eu for ao Brasil… · Conta a história! · Como se diz? · Está decidido!.

Level B1 — €39, once

One payment, lifetime access, VAT included, 14-day refund with no questions asked. Level A1 — eight lessons, its exam, all forty stories and the whole grammar library — is free and needs no account. What Rumo is →
