✕Common Mistakes
Vai a ventar amanhã?
Portuguese does not use the preposition 'a' after 'vai' when forming the near‑future; just 'vai ventar'.
Vai estar ventar amanhã?
The verb 'ventar' is already intransitive; adding 'estar' creates an ungrammatical double verb.
Ventará amanhã?
While 'ventará' (future simple) is grammatically correct, native speakers prefer the near‑future construction 'vai ventar' for everyday conversation.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, people often talk about the wind when they live in coastal or southern regions where breezes are common. The verb 'ventar' is intransitive, so you never say *'ventar o vento'*. Instead, you can use the noun 'vento' with adjectives (e.g., 'vento forte') or the expression 'fazer vento'.
