In Portuguese, the present tense conjugation of the verb dizer for ele or ela is diz. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: ele diz.
The correct conjugation of the verb ter in the present tense for nós (we) is temos. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer. The verb ter in Portuguese follows irregular conjugation patterns, and temos is specifically used for the first person plural.
The correct present tense conjugation of the verb 'vir' for 'tu' is vens (option 2). The verb 'vir' is irregular, and in the present tense for 'tu', it changes to 'vens' to match the subject correctly.
In Portuguese, the correct present tense form of the verb poder (to be able to) for the pronoun eles (they) is podem. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: eles podem.
The correct present tense conjugation of saber for eu is eu sei. Eu saiba is incorrect as it is in the subjunctive mood, and eu sabo is not a valid conjugation.
The correct present tense form for the pronoun vós with the verb fazer is fazeis. This follows the conjugation pattern for vós in Portuguese, which typically uses the ending -eis for regular and irregular verbs in the present tense.
The correct present tense conjugation of the verb trazer for ela is ela traz. In Portuguese, the verb trazer is an irregular verb, and its conjugation for the third person singular is traz.
The verb ler is an irregular verb in Portuguese. In the present tense, the correct conjugation for ele (he) is lê. Option 1, ele leio, is incorrect because leio is the first-person singular form (I read), and option 3, ele lemos, uses the first-person plural form (we read), which is also incorrect for ele.
The verb dar is an irregular verb. When conjugated in the present tense for vós, the correct form is dais. So, the correct answer is option 2, vós dais. This follows the regular pattern of conjugation for verbs in the present tense for vós.
The correct present tense form of the verb ser for eu is eu sou. In the Portuguese language, each subject pronoun has its own unique conjugation for verbs. For the first-person singular pronoun eu, the verb ser (to be) is sou. The other options given do not correctly conjugate ser in the present tense for eu.
