✕Common Mistakes
Está todos na mesma página?
‘Está’ is singular; the phrase refers to a group, so use ‘estamos’.
Estamos todos na mesma pagina?
‘Página’ needs an accent on the ‘a’ and the article contracts to ‘na’.
Todos estamos na mesma página?
Word order is acceptable, but the most natural flow is ‘Estamos todos…’. Switching can sound forced.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil and Portugal the expression is informal but widely accepted in professional settings. It’s best used with people you already have a rapport with; in very formal business letters you might prefer ‘Todos concordam com o plano?’ or ‘Há consenso entre todos?’. The idiom originates from the world of reading, where being on the same page literally meant sharing the same part of a text.
