Yeah, the use of “a gente” is very common in Brazil. Here in the northeast of Brazil we use much more “a gente” than “nós” in conversations, definitely.

Exactly! It confuses us too. We say “eu compraria” for sure

Here in Brazil the only form is “Vocês vão ao supermercado?” 😅 “Vos” only in churches indeed 😬

Portuguese is very tricky indeed 😅.
Among the many differences between Portuguese from Portugal and Brazil, here in Brasil we never use the pronoun “vós” in conversations (such as “vós fostes” in the preterit form of “ir”). We always use “vocês foram”.
