Knowing about the aspects that are present in the study of our dear Portuguese language seems to sum up all the intentions of the many meetings we've had, isn't it? Thus, it may even seem that at times you feel tired of studying them, because, in fact, there are so many little rules, not to mention some exceptions, that we also have to be aware of. However, don't think like that, given that even with these many placements, it becomes necessary to apprehend them so that we can make good use of them, about everything, as you know, in specific situations of interlocution, and writing, obviously, is one of them.
So, the subject that leads us to establish this conversation now defines by the optional use of the crasis, considering that in the text “When should we or should we not use the backline?” you could be sure of some very important information about the situations in which you should use this accent and in which ones it is not recommended. From that moment on, we will turn our precious gaze to cases in which you choose to use it or not, so the little word "optional”, all right?
That is, whether it exists or not being present, everything is perfectly correct when it comes to of what the grammar tells us, so just pay attention to the information below and be calm, OK? Let's go to them:
In some cases, we may or may not use the backquote
# Before of female proper names referring to people:
I referred to (to) Beatriz.
* If the proper name appears adjectived, qualified, the back letter, obligatorily, will have to exist. Watch:
I referred to Honey Beatrice
* In case the preposition "a" precedes the names of people with whom one has no intimacy, the crasis is not present, given that these names do not admit an article:
During the lecture, the teacher referred the Sister Dulce.
* If, by chance, the name is accompanied by adnominal deputy,the use of the backquote will be mandatory:
During the lecture, the professor referred to the religious Sister Dulce.
# Before possessive feminine pronouns in the singular, as long as these pronouns precede a noun:
We have alluded to (to) your research.
If the possessive pronoun is used as a noun pronoun, the crasis will be mandatory:
It seems that the teacher paid more attention to (to) my presentation than yours.
# After the preposition "until", in view of (ever) that the regent term requires the preposition “a”.
We will walk to (to) the sports court.
