1

A gente

"A gente" is a colloquial way to say "we" and takes a third‑person singular verb.

precisa + infinitive

When a verb of necessity (precisar, precisar de) is followed by another action, the second verb stays in the infinitive.

3

uns (indefinite article)

"Uns" is the plural indefinite article for masculine nouns, meaning "some" or "a few".

Common Mistakes

  • Nos precisamos organizar uns jogos divertidos.

    When using "nos" (the object pronoun for "us"), the verb must be first‑person plural; with "precisa" you need the third‑person singular subject "a gente".

  • A gente precisamos organizar uns jogos divertidos.

    "A gente" requires a third‑person singular verb, so "precisa" is correct, not "precisamos".

  • uns jogos divertido.

    The adjective must agree in number with "jogos"; use the plural form "divertidos".

Alternatives

  • Precisamos organizar jogos divertidos.

    We need to organize fun games.

  • Seria legal se a gente organizasse alguns jogos divertidos.

    It would be cool if we organized some fun games.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, "a gente" is the go‑to way to say "we" in everyday conversation, even in semi‑formal settings. The indefinite article "uns" signals a non‑specific, modest number, which keeps the tone relaxed. "Jogos divertidos" can refer to party games, sports, or any interactive activity that sparks laughter.
