✕Common Mistakes

  • Acho que já cobri tudo.

    Use the plural form *cobrimos* because the subject is “we”.

  • Acho que já cobrimos tudo?

    Adding a question mark changes the meaning to a question; the original phrase is a statement.

  • Acho que já cobri tudo.

    Mixing singular verb with plural subject is incorrect.

Cultural Tip

In Brazilian Portuguese, *acho que* softens a statement, making it sound less assertive and more collaborative—perfect for group settings. The verb *cobrir* is frequently used metaphorically for “covering a topic” in academic and business contexts, so native speakers will instantly understand you’re talking about a discussion, not a physical covering.
