\nUm dia, gostaria de fazer paraquedismo!<\/strong><\/p>\nHere, the speaker says: \u201cI love doing extreme sports.\u201d Esporte radical<\/em> is an extreme sport. But when we have a noun that ends in \u201cal,\u201d it changes to \u201cais\u201d in the plural, so more than one extreme sport is esportes radiciais<\/em>.\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget that adorar<\/em> means to enjoy or love something.<\/p>\nThis means, \u201cI\u2019ve gone hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro.\u201d\u00a0 Voar de asa-delta<\/em> means to go hang gliding, since asa-delta<\/em> is the actual contraption you use, while voar means to fly. When we use j\u00e1 <\/em>(already) with the past simple tense, we can translate it in English to the present perfect tense: have done something, since it\u2019s something that happened in the past.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve also gone paragliding, and I liked it a lot.\u201d Parapente<\/em> is a hang glider, and here we use it with a simple fazer <\/em>(to do). Put together, this means to go hang gliding. Gostar<\/em>, as we know, means to like, and in the past simple tense we conjugate it with an ei at the end (gostei<\/em>). Here, we translate muito as \u201ca lot.\u201d<\/p>\nThis means, \u201cI know how to surf, but I\u2019m not very good at it.\u201d Surfar<\/em> is to surf, and the verb we use to refer to knowing how to do something is saber<\/em>.\u00a0 N\u00e3o muito bom<\/em> means not very good.<\/p>\nHere, the speaker says, \u201cI like trekking,\u201d or \u201cI like to go trekking.\u201d Trekking is like hiking, but a lot more intense, often for several days in rough terrain. Don\u2019t forget that when we use gostar<\/em> (to like) with a verb, we must use de<\/em> as the preposition before the verb (gostar de fazer<\/em>).<\/p>\n\u201cI frequently go rock climbing, and I\u2019ve climbed the Sugarloaf.\u201d Costumar<\/em> means to do something frequently or to be used to doing something. Here, we translate it as \u201cfrequently,\u201d though it can be different depending on the context. Again, we translate j\u00e1<\/em> and the simple past (subi<\/em>) into the present perfect: I have climbed. Sugarloaf is a famous mountain in Rio de Janeiro and one of the city\u2019s best rock climbing areas.<\/p>\nThis means, \u201cOne day, I\u2019d like to go skydiving!\u201d Fazer paraquedismo<\/em> means to go skydiving, while paraquedismo<\/em> is the actual sport. When referring to a desire (I\u2019d like), we use the conditional tense of gostar<\/em>, which is gostaria<\/em>. Again, since we are using gostar<\/em> with a verb, we must add de<\/em> as the preposition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
