Cantonese Speaker Tip
詞序不同！ 廣東話問句疊疑問詞擺在原位：「你住在邊度？」 葡文啊疑問詞擺在句頭：“Onde moras?”
對應：onde = 邊度, quem = 邊個, qual = 邊個/邊樣, quanto = 幾多, como = 點樣, porquê = 點解。
Each question word serves a specific function and typically pairs with a particular verb. In spoken Portuguese, you can also form yes/no questions simply by using rising intonation at the end of a statement.
Key Phrase — Try saying it!

Mr. Silva's daughter is called Alice, she is a secretary, she is 22 years old and is single. She works in Lisbon but lives in Cascais. She always gets up very early and starts working every day at 8 o'clock. The office is far from the train station and she always takes the metro so she doesn't arrive late.
