Assunto: | exposição ao sol |
Mensagem: |
rain or shine = quer chova ou faça sol. (Commonly heard/used up here in Pernambuco.) I also have heard, "chova ou faça sol" without the initial quer. Yet quer chova, quer faça sol = grammatically correct form. The grammatically correct form has a quer... quer structure, but no one ever uses it. Well, they might use it if they cared to look in their grammar manuals. |
