✕Common Mistakes
Você faz ajuste?
The noun should be plural because you’re asking about any number of adjustments.
Você fazes ajustes?
With *você* the verb uses the third‑person form *faz*, not the second‑person *fazes*.
Tu fazes ajustes?
If you switch to *tu*, the verb must change to *fazes*; mixing *você* with *fazes* is incorrect.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil *você* is the standard informal pronoun, but in very formal settings you might hear *o senhor / a senhora* instead. Also, Brazilians often prefer the verb *ajustar* directly (e.g., “Você ajusta?”) when the context is clear, but *fazer ajustes* sounds a bit more formal and is common in technical or business conversations.
