"It is not the public square."

Translation: Não é a praça pública.

[reno300]

Can we also say "é não a praça pública"?

[Paulenrique]

no, the rule is "não + verb ser/estar (or any other verbs).

[connal]

Does publica have to take take the gender of the noun? If it was a public car would it be 'carro publico'?

[Paulenrique]

that's it!

Thank you - great advice as always
