At each meeting, we take a long and lingering walk along the enchanted paths that lead us to grammar. As it could not be different, we will continue our adventure, knowing, this time,the bet ratings.
Well, it doesn't represent anything new for you, because, through the text "How about getting to know the bet and vocative?”, we had the opportunity to know a little more about its characteristics. Thus, as our goal is to expand our knowledge about everything that concerns the our dear Portuguese Language, from now on, let us know how the classifications of this term. Pay close attention, and there they go:
explanatory bet
As the name itself reveals, it gives a greater meaning to the term it refers to. Talking about it, never forget one detail: it always appears between commas, dashes or parentheses:
Peter, that he is one of my best friends, got the maximum grade in the Mathematics test.
enumerative bet
If it is enumerative, it is because it enumerates something, do you agree? Thus, it even plays this role, that is, to enumerate the parts that make up the term to which it refers, which can be separated by a comma, dash or colon:
In the living room, we were three friends: me, Pedro and Ricardo.
Summary or recapitulative bet
It summarizes by means of a pronoun everything that was previously expressed by the main term (the one to which the bet refers):
Affection, attention, pampering, games, everything this delighted me. (here, the pronoun “everything” is classified as indefinite)
Specific bet
Ah! Did you know that this type of bet differs from all others? Yes, because it doesn't appear delimited by any punctuation mark and its function is to individualize, that is, to make a noun with a generic sense unique, linking to it through a preposition or directly:
the poetess Cecília Meireles belonged to Modernism.
prayer bet
This type of bet refers to an entire prayer. It is usually represented by the demonstrative pronoun "o" or by other nouns, such as: "event, fact, episode, situation", among others:
Pedro got injured during the football match, fact which made me very sad.
