Cultural Tip
In Portuguese business communication, impersonal constructions like “É preciso” sound formal and are preferred in policies, contracts, and official announcements. Avoid confusing the adjective “preciso” (meaning “I need”) with the impersonal phrase—context makes the difference. Also, note that “para” can sometimes be swapped with “em” (e.g., “É preciso em todas as transações”) in more colloquial speech, but the version with “para” is the standard for written Portuguese.
