##### Usage notes

When the clause features a verb in its first-person plural form, the nominative pronoun nós may be dropped.
The following contraction is usually mandatory in standard usage, but optional when mesmos (“ourselves”) is used for emphasis:
* com (“with”) + nós → connosco (Portugal), conosco (Brazil)
Brazilian speakers who use this pronoun colloquially (instead of a gente) may not make the contraction and use com nós instead. They might also use nós with third-person singular verbs. Such usages are highly proscribed but common.
