HideComo você faz para ir para o trabalho todos os dias?
How do you do to go to work everyday?
Hi Richard,
Thank you for your question.
In this case the verb is referring to "casal" (couple), which in Portuguese is a singular masculine noun. Therefore, the verb is conjugated in the 3rd. person, singular: "está" (is).
Example for the verb in the 3rd. person, plural ("estão" (are):
Eles estão dirigindo (...)
They are driving (...)
In case of any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

O casal casado está dirigindo na estrada do campo.
Could it also be o casal Casado estao dirigindo na Estrada do campo
Oi Jonathan,
Yes, that's right. You could say "andar de barco" or "andar de carro" or even "andar de bicicleta".
I hope it helps! Let us know if you have any further questions!

Sorry, in reviewing the vocabulary, I missed the second definition of andar as "to ride." Would "ele está andando de barco" also be a correct use of andar?
The bebê and the alunos both "está(ão) andando." Can andar mean to walk or ride? Or, should the translation have been "the students are walking to the bus?"
