Cultural Tip
In Brazil, 'a gente' is the go‑to informal way to say 'we' and is heard in TV, music, and everyday speech. It always takes a singular verb, even though it refers to a group. In formal contexts—academic papers, business reports, or official presentations—use 'nós' and match the verb in plural (e.g., 'nós trabalhamos'). Also, note that 'junto' stays singular after 'a gente'; 'juntos' would be incorrect here.
