✕Common Mistakes
Me inscreve no programa de recompensas.
If you’re speaking to a formal audience or a stranger, use the polite form ‘inscreva‑se’ or the request with ‘poder’.
Me inscreve em o programa de recompensas.
Avoid mixing prepositions; the correct contraction is ‘no’, not ‘em o’.
Inscreve me no programa de recompensas.
The reflexive pronoun should stay before the verb; placing it after changes the meaning.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, many retailers offer ‘programas de recompensas’ that grant points for each purchase. It’s common to ask staff politely using the infinitive form with ‘poder’ (e.g., ‘Pode me inscrever…’) rather than the imperative, especially in formal settings. The imperative form ‘inscreve’ is more informal and typical among friends or in casual stores.
