Before you start filling in the blanks, take a moment to read through the text to understand the context. If the words provided in the box aren't function words (like prepositions or conjunctions), ensure that you know their meanings.

If the text seems too challenging for your current proficiency level, consider reading the English translation (EN text) first to grasp the main idea. Go through it once, then return to the exercise.

You can check your answers by opening the "Original text" tab or by clicking "View Questions" after submitting the quiz.

These exercises not only help you practice grammar (such as verb conjugation and prepositions) but also offer an excellent opportunity to learn new words and idiomatic expressions.

Original text

Quem não se sente não é filho de boa gente.

Isto é um ditado popular português que significa que uma pessoa de bem não pode deixar de se sentir ofendida ou magoada quando é alvo de injustiças, ofensas ou desrespeito.

Por outras palavras, é natural e esperado que alguém de bom caráter se sinta indignado perante esse tipo de situações negativas.

Este provérbio sugere, portanto, que quem não se importa e não reage emocionalmente a injustiças ou ofensas, não possui a sensibilidade moral esperada de pessoas de bem, pessoas de bom caráter, pessoas de bons princípios.

Quem não se sente não é filho de boa gente.

EN Translation

Those who won’t take offense are people of dubious character.

This is a popular Portuguese saying meaning that any ethical person can’t help but feel offended or hurt when they are the target of injustice, offense, or disrespect.

In other words, it is natural and expected for someone of good character to feel indignant when faced with these negative situations.

This proverb therefore suggests that anyone who doesn’t care and doesn’t react emotionally to injustices or offenses doesn’t have the moral sensitivity expected of good people, people of good character, people of good principles.

Those who won’t take offense are people of dubious character.
