✕Common Mistakes

  • Vamos a ver os anúncios.

    Portuguese does not use the preposition *a* after *vamos* when followed by an infinitive.

  • Vamos ver os anúncio.

    The noun must agree in number with the article *os*; use the plural *anúncios*.

  • Veremos os anúncios.

    Using the future *veremos* changes the meaning to “we will see”, losing the immediate suggestion.

↔Alternatives

  • Vamos conferir os anúncios.

    Let's check the ads.

  • Vamos dar uma olhada nos anúncios.

    Let's take a look at the ads.

  • Vamos analisar os anúncios.

    Let's analyze the ads.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, *anúncio* can refer to anything from online classifieds and job postings to TV commercials. When you say *Vamos ver os anúncios*, you’re usually talking about a quick visual scan rather than a deep analysis. If you need a more formal tone (e.g., in a business meeting), you might prefer *conferir* or *analisar*.
