"Eles vão tentar pintar o apartamento."

Translation: They are going to try to paint the apartment.

[Shivagauri1]

'They will try and paint the apartment' should be accepted, it's common English idiom.

[Ymeagain]

Sou um artista? Posso pintar uma parede!

[ShirleyMoo9]

Sim, você é um bom artista!

[137rsa]

why does apartmento now mean "house" please

[vivisaurus]

It shouldn't. It could mean "home" but not "house." Apartamento only means "apartment".

[kjw860]

Also, in the UK it could be translated as 'flat' but not sure if Duolingo accepts that!

[Longrodvon1]

How come it doesn't need 'a' between tentar and pintar like some other sentences do?

[Paulenrique]

Tentar requires no preposition.
