Boa tarde! Which of these methods of travelling would be best to go from Tomar to Lisbon (about 120km) Vou de Tomar a Lisboa: de autocarro, de carro, a pé, a bicicleta, de comboio, de aviao, a boleia
Tip: ir de carro/autocarro/comboio… but ir a pé/boleia. The little words (de/a) don’t translate exactly, they are like chameleons, they can change their meaning to the situation, so it’s best to learn them as a whole phrase, rather than word for word. One of these things we have to accept when learning a language!
Resposta: Well, it depends! autocarro(=bus), carro(=car), comboio(=train) would be the obvious ones, but they are all possible! pé=foot, avião=plane, boleia=hitchhike (dar boleia=give a lift) Parabéns a todos!
