Definite article (plural)
‘As’ is the feminine plural definite article, used before plural nouns like ‘inscrições’ and ‘atividades’.
Noun gender & number
‘Inscrições’ and ‘atividades’ are both feminine plural nouns, so they agree with the article ‘as’.
Preposition ‘para’
‘Para’ introduces the purpose or target of the registrations – here, ‘as atividades’.
Verb conjugation – 3rd person plural
‘Começam’ is the present indicative of ‘começar’ for ‘eles/elas’, matching the plural subject ‘as inscrições’.
Adverb ‘logo’
‘Logo’ means ‘soon’ or ‘in a short time’; it modifies the verb phrase to indicate imminence.

✕Common Mistakes
As inscrições para as atividades começa logo.
‘Começa’ is singular; the subject ‘as inscrições’ is plural, so the verb must be ‘começam’.
As inscrições para as atividades começam logo depois.
Learners sometimes confuse ‘logo’ (soon) with ‘logo depois’ (right after). Use ‘logo’ alone for ‘soon’.
As inscrições para atividades começam logo.
Dropping the article ‘as’ makes the phrase sound incomplete; keep the article to match the noun’s gender and number.
