The policeman told you anything?
->
Did the policeman tell you anything?
OR
Did the policeman say anything to you?

That second sentence, which was written by CK, already exists.

Like CK, I encourage members to contribute sentences in their own native languages. There are occasions when people could argue for the value of contributing sentences in native languages, but this only works when they follow the guidelines on this wiki page:

https://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/art...ow/non-native#

We don't need a non-native English speaker to translate from English into English, and if you're going to introduce errors when you do it, you're creating work for other people that is not balanced out by extra value. Why not add Portuguese sentences instead?
