✕Common Mistakes
Dar uma olhada nos sites deles.
‘Dar’ must be in the imperative ‘Dá’; using the infinitive ‘dar’ makes the sentence ungrammatical.
Dá uma olhada no site deles.
‘Site’ needs to be plural ‘sites’ when referring to more than one; also keep the article contraction ‘nos’.
Dá uma olhada nos sites dele.
‘Dele’ is singular; the sentence talks about multiple sites belonging to a group, so the correct pronoun is ‘deles’.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, ‘dar uma olhada’ is a very common, informal way to ask someone to glance at something. It’s softer than a direct command like ‘olhe’ and works well in both spoken and written Portuguese. The word ‘site’ (plural ‘sites’) is a recent loan from English and is widely accepted, especially among younger speakers and in professional contexts.
