Why it's built this way
The notes match the numbers above.
- 1Não que + subjunctive = "not that…": rules out one reading before you explain. Subjunctive after doubt, denial & impersonal expressions →
- 2duvidar de alguém = "doubt someone", with de, as in Spanish. Verbs with prepositions (regência I) →
- 3conferir = "double-check".
