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 <em>esportes radiciais<\/em>.\u00a0 And don\u2019t forget that <em>adorar<\/em> means to enjoy or love something.<\/p>\n<p>This means, \u201cI\u2019ve gone hang gliding in Rio de Janeiro.\u201d\u00a0 <em>Voar de asa-delta<\/em> means to go hang gliding, since <em>asa-delta<\/em> is the actual contraption you use, while voar means to fly. When we use <em>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<p>\u201cI\u2019ve also gone paragliding, and I liked it a lot.\u201d <em>Parapente<\/em> is a hang glider, and here we use it with a simple <em>fazer <\/em>(to do). Put together, this means to go hang gliding. <em>Gostar<\/em>, as we know, means to like, and in the past simple tense we conjugate it with an ei at the end (<em>gostei<\/em>). Here, we translate muito as \u201ca lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This means, \u201cI know how to surf, but I\u2019m not very good at it.\u201d <em>Surfar<\/em> is to surf, and the verb we use to refer to knowing how to do something is <em>saber<\/em>.\u00a0 <em>N\u00e3o muito bom<\/em> means not very good.<\/p>\n<p>Here, 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 <em>gostar<\/em> (to like) with a verb, we must use <em>de<\/em> as the preposition before the verb (<em>gostar de fazer<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI frequently go rock climbing, and I\u2019ve climbed the Sugarloaf.\u201d <em>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 <em>j\u00e1<\/em> and the simple past (<em>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>\n<p>This means, \u201cOne day, I\u2019d like to go skydiving!\u201d <em>Fazer paraquedismo<\/em> means to go skydiving, while <em>paraquedismo<\/em> is the actual sport. When referring to a desire (I\u2019d like), we use the conditional tense of <em>gostar<\/em>, which is <em>gostaria<\/em>. Again, since we are using <em>gostar<\/em> with a verb, we must add <em>de<\/em> as the preposition.<\/p>\n<p><!--Session data--><\/p>\n<p><!--Session data--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we\u2019re going to talk about extreme sports.
