can anyone clarify the distinction between de and desde in portuguese? Is it exactly the same as in spanish? Thank you.
From/of = de. Since/once = desde, indicating the start of an action or a condition (desde -once- que você não se atrase). Desde março would indicate it has gone. (É junho, e as inscrições foram desde (de) março até maio) .de março may indicate it will happen (as incrições ocorrerão de março até maio) not too sure if it helped you...
now that de and desde are cleared up.... what's the difference between a and até
in this sentense thereis no difference between "a" and "até". But remember that "a" has lots of other meanings and functions different from "até". "a" can be article, preposition, a particle( don't know if this is the best english word for that) to define feminine gender, etc..
'Do março' would mean "from THE March" (the month). Which doesn't make sense even in English. 'De março' is simply "From March..."
