✕Common Mistakes
Sim, nós pode ajustar o número de convidados.
"Nós" requires the plural verb form "podemos"; "a gente" takes the singular form "pode".
Sim, a gente pode ajustamos o número de convidados.
After "pode" you must keep the infinitive; using a conjugated verb changes the meaning.
Sim, a gente pode ajustar o número de convidado.
"Convidado" is singular; the phrase refers to multiple guests, so use the plural "convidados".

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "a gente" is the go‑to informal way to say “we”. It sounds natural in spoken Portuguese but is avoided in formal writing, where "nós" is preferred. Also, while "ajustar" is perfectly understood, many Brazilians might say "mudar" or "alterar" when talking about guest numbers, depending on the region.
