alunos estão fazendo o curso.]
3. Porém, os números adquirem a forma do plural (“s”) em expressões como:
dezenas, centenas, milhares e milhões de pessoas etc.
Ex: Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by the Israel-Hamas war.
[Centenas de milhares de pessoas foram afetadas pela guerra entre Israel e Hamas.]
4. Na língua inglesa, a palavra dozen (dozens pl.), embora signifique literalmente
“uma dúzia”, é usada também como correspondente da expressão dezena ou
dezenas em português.
Ex: Dozens of cars are stuck in the traffic jam.
[Dezenas de carros estão presos no engarrafamento.]
5. Porém, quando for dezenas de milhares/milhões, a expressão será tens of
thousands/millions.
Ex: Tens of millions of Brazilians live in poverty.
[Dezenas de milhões de brasileiros vivem na pobreza.]
