"Dois ônibus acabaram de chegar à rodoviária."

Translation: Two buses just arrived at the bus station.

[pnehls]

what word here means "Just", is acabaram de chegar an idiom that we should know?

[Paulenrique]

Yes. Acabar de + verb = (have) just + verb. Ela acabou de sair = she (has) just left.

[pnehls]

thanks again

Why not " Dois ônibuses " ?

[Paulenrique]

When you have a word that ends with an S (not oxytones), the plural is the same

O ônibus = os ônibus

O lápis = os lápis

O tênis = os tênis

[antlane]

but the "oxítonas' ( oxytones) have plural: inglês = ingleses; país = países; revés = reveses.

It rejected "two buses just arrived at the station". Yes, I know that this sentence is ambiguous and it could refer to a train station. But still, that's pretty picky.

[MartinSmit446377]

in english English, we usually DON'T use this construction in this context, though Americans do. 'have just arrived' would be more usual, but is marked wrong.

"Depot" should probably also work. I reported it, but I also mention it here because no one else has.

[ManueldeBrito]

Thanks, it is " with an s ".

What's the difference between "rodoviária" and "ponto de ônibus" please?

[bryandahl77]

Rodoviária is a bus station like where you get a bus to go long distances or transfer from the subway to a bus. Ponto de ônibus is a bus stop like where you wait on the street for the bus to pick you up.
