Só even though we stress that it's temporarily and about to change (currently, atualmente) we still can't use "está"?
Well...yes. Professions are always accompanied by 'ser'. Why? Just because, languages are like that. But there was a minister who once said 'eu não sou ministro, eu ESTOU ministro' to emphasize the temporary nature of his job. Notice, though, that this is not standard usage.
This noun is the same for male and female. Then we say um/o modelo or uma/a modelo to show the distinction.
No. Gisele Bündchen foi considerada a modelo mais bonita do mundo.
Duolingo offers modelo, modela and apresento as translations for 'model'.
not anymore…Modela is gone... but it now offers "e trabalhar como modelo," but doesn't seem to accept forms of that, as part of the answer.
Modelo works for masculine and feminine. There is not the word modela. (Except for a conjugation for the verb modelar).
It should be "uma modelo" , not "um modelo". "Um" is used for men, not women.
It gave me as a correct answer "Ela é agora modelo." Does this mean "She is a model now" and does that mean the same as "currently"?
