Unit 13 - reflexive verbs. This makes a lot of sense coming from French, although putting the pronoun after the verb feels weird. The hardest part was remembering all the main verb conjugation rules… time to go back and practice I guess.

Possessives part 1 - basic object possession. Straightforward, similar to French, except:
1. In Portugal the article is used before the possessive pronoun
2. Mine/yours etc does NOT use the article - just the pronoun. In French this would be le mien/la mienne etc.

Unit 21 - demonstratives. Unit 22 - nonchanging demonstratives (e.g. that thing/this thing that I don’t know a name for). In both cases there are different “that” words depending on location of the item. That thing over there, or that thing by the 3rd party in the convo.

Unit 19 - adjectives. Some new stuff in here beyond a/o endings - like the weirdness with ês endings to describe gender + number of nationality.

Unit 17 - indefinite articles and when not to use them. The book refrained from teaching “more advanced” exclusion rules… would have preferred having them mentioned here.
