✕Common Mistakes
Nos vamos embarcar logo.
Using "nos" (formal "we") with "vai" is grammatically wrong because "nos" requires first‑person plural verb forms.
A gente vão embarcar logo.
"A gente" takes third‑person singular, so the verb must be "vai," not the plural "vão."
Logo a gente vai embarcar.
Placing "logo" before the subject sounds unnatural; it should follow the verb phrase.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "a gente" is the go‑to informal pronoun for “we,” especially among younger speakers. It sounds more relaxed than the formal "nós" and is perfectly acceptable in everyday conversation, but avoid it in very formal contexts like business meetings or official speeches. Also, "logo" can imply a slight urgency, so using it signals that you’re ready to move quickly.
