✕Common Mistakes
Tem data, hora e locais.
Do not use ‘tem’ when you need a more formal tone; replace with ‘contém’ or ‘possui’.
Tem data, hora e locais.
The list refers to a single venue, so keep ‘local’ singular.
Há data, hora e local.
‘Há’ means ‘there is/are’ and sounds odd with a list of three items; use ‘tem’ or ‘contém’.
↔Alternatives
Inclui data, hora e local.
It includes date, time and location.
Contém data, hora e local.
It contains date, time and location.
Possui data, hora e local.
It possesses date, time and location.
Cultural Tip
In Brazil, event flyers almost always list ‘data, hora e local’ in that order. ‘Tem’ is informal and works well in conversation, but in formal written notices you’ll often see ‘contém’ or ‘possui’. Also, ‘local’ can be replaced by ‘endereço’ (address) when the exact street location is needed.
