Back or back? Portuguese Doubts: Brings or brings?

Back or back? And now? What is the correct way to spell this word? With S'? With 'z'? Cruel doubt, isn't it? If you don't know either, know that you are not alone, many people also have the same difficulty when writing this little word, but at the same time, so problematic! To put an end to this doubt, Escola Kids will explain this story to you. Come on?

If you said both words are correct, you are right! Traces and tails exist in the Portuguese language, so both are correct. However, they differ greatly despite being so similar. Want to know what they are? Pay attention to the explanation and good studies!

Differences between back and back:

Back: The word behind it is classified as an adverb of place. This little word is always accompanied by a preposition, usually in or for, thus forming an adverbial phrase. Want to see some examples? Watch:

Go straight ahead, don't look back!
Children under the age of ten must be transported in the bank from behind of the vehicle.
He came from behind of me and gave me a scare!

bring: The word bring is the conjugated form of the verb to bring in the 3rd person singular of the present tense or in the 2nd person singular of the imperative:

Present tense

I bring

you bring

he/she bring

we bring

you bring

They/they bring

Imperative mode

-

bring you

bring him/her

we bring us

bring you

bring them/they

Bringing means taking, transporting close to the speaker. for being a irregular verb, that is, because it does not fit the normal conjugation parameters, the verb bring usually causes many doubts among the speakers, since it presents, when combined, many changes in radicals and terminations. Here are some examples of how to use it properly in a sentence or sentence:

bring more bread! (2nd person singular of the imperative)
He bring children at school every day. (3rd singular person of the present indicative)

Remember that the words back and forth are examples of homophone words. We call homophone words all words that have the same sound (phonetic equality), but whose meanings and spellings are different.
