✕Common Mistakes

Learners often use the formal imperative *confira*; *confere* is acceptable in informal spoken Portuguese.
Confere os detalhes da sua reserva pra ver as taxas.
In very formal writing, replace the colloquial *pra* with *para*.
Confere os detalhes da sua reserva pra ver a taxa.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, using ‘pra’ instead of the formal ‘para’ signals a relaxed tone, which is common in customer‑service messages that aim to sound approachable. However, in very formal written communication (e.g., legal contracts) you should keep the full form ‘para’. Also, the verb *conferir* is preferred over *checar* in many professional contexts, as it sounds slightly more formal while still being friendly.
