Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese the present indicative (*faço*) is often used to talk about near‑future actions, especially when the time adverb (hoje, amanhã, agora) is present. In more formal or written Portuguese you’ll hear the periphrastic future (*vou fazer*) more often. Also, Brazilians prefer *isso* over *isto* in most spoken contexts.
