"Eu não vou errar desta vez."

Translation: I am not going to get it wrong this time.

[lesliewilman]

"I am not going to miss this time" is marked wrong. Apparently the word "it" should follow "miss", but it is not there in the Portuguese, and isn't needed in English. Don't believe the offered "correct solution" - I'm not going to not miss it...."Double negatives are non-standard (or bad) English. If they want the"it", can't they say ""erra-lo" or "erra-la"?

[Paulenrique]

yes, erra-lo, erra-la or even erra isso

[antlane]

but attention: erra-lo comes from erras+o, erra-la comes from erras+a and errá-lo from errar+o, errá-la from errar+a. Tu erras o exercício = tu erra-lo ( or: tu o erras); Vou errar o exercício = Vou errá-lo.

Now it's accepted

If the solution is "I am not going to make a mistake this time." why is it necessary to have "desta" instead of "esta'? I was thinking "from this time" or "from now on" because of de.

[Paulenrique]

Although we use "desta" it really means "this time". "From now on" would be de agora em diante, a partir de agora

[EhsanTranslator]

I thought maybe it is errar + de. So it's not the case?

[Paulenrique]

Not the case.

Eu não vou errar a pergunta

So, no preposition is needed. This is a case in which you add a preposition to make it more specific, but using only "esta vez" is also correct.

[pinkybrainy]

Can you please explain how does adding 'de' makes the sentence more specific?

[borisdekloris]

Shouldn't 'I'll make no mistake this time' be correct too?

[Paulenrique]

yes!

[duofus]

No mistakes.

Reported 2016-01-23. "I will make no mistakes this time" was rejected with the following reason:

• You used the plural "mistakes" here, instead of the singular "mistake".

Sometimes I think duolingo's staff lacks native English speakers.

[gpriddy]

Obrigado, Paulenrique!

[PaulRobert6]

I think a good translation would also be "I'm not going to get it wrong this time". "To err" is not a common verb in English.

[todji]

but it's only human.

[BevJ63]

Is "Não vou sentir falta dessa vez" correct?

[BevJ63]

"I will not go wrong this time" should be the correct translation in English.

[acarlil3]

Is "I won't ❤❤❤❤ up this time" accurate? is there a better word that connotes the frustration of "❤❤❤❤❤❤" more than "errar"?
