“Sunset", "sunset", "sunset" or "sunset"? These are the forms that users of the Portuguese language use when writing the compound word that refers to the act of the sun setting over the horizon. However, only one of them is correct: the expression “por do sol” (with an accent and without a hyphen). Therefore, “put” is a noun verb and not a preposition (“by”), since it indicates the action of the sun setting.

“Sunset", "sunset", "sunset" or "sunset": which one is correct?
The correct answer is “sunset” (with an accent and without a hyphen). This is because “por” (without an accent) is a preposition, while “put” (with an accent) is a verb noun. After all, the expression refers to the act of the sun setting over the horizon. As for the hyphen, the grammatical rule says that, in a compound word, we do not use a hyphen if it has a linking element, in this case, the term “do”.

“Sunset" in the new spelling agreement
A compound word in which the presence of a linking element is verified had a hyphen before the new spelling agreement. But now this type of word, with some exceptions, no longer has a hyphen, such as “room in dinner” (before “dining room”), “day The day” (formerly “day-to-day”), “end in week” (before “weekend”) and “put of sol” (before “sunset”).
plural of "sunset"
The expression “sunset” has a preposition linking the elements that form the substantive compound. In this case, according to normative grammar, only the first element is plural, that is, the noun (or substantivated verb) “put”. Therefore, the plural of “sunset” is “sunsets”, as follows:

Some sunsets, in the big city, show the colors of pollution.
