gente boa is used as an expression meaning "what's brow?" (e aí, gente boa?) bit it would sound awkward in this type of sentence because "nós somos" take the sentence to plural.
Well in english they say "They are nice people" verb is a plural like People which is always plural.
So may be :
"Nós Somos boas gente" would be ok
Gente is singular, so you have "nós somos boa gente", which is not considered good Portuguese.
Por isso devo escrever :
A gente é louca
ou
As pessoas são loucas
obrigado ...
I need to check my english ... i kept doing mistakes such as my bride-dress (forgetting the possesive and so on ... I also need to check difference between People and The people ..
This Unit is HELL.
Randomly we must use People without The, but sometimes with must use The people, most of the time pessoas is forbidden ... but not on this last question.
Nós somos boa gente Was refused ..
