Preterite (Pretérito perfeito simples) Regular

The pretérito perfeito simples is a sharp, completed past. In European Portuguese it is the standard story-telling past; Brazilian usage often prefers the compound form in speech while keeping the simple for narrative and writing.

Ontem escreveu a carta inteira de uma vez.

Imperfect (Pretérito imperfeito) Regular

The imperfeito describes past background, repeated actions, and how things used to be. Contrast it with the simple preterite for the “main event” line of a story.

Quando era criança, brincava na praia.

PronounPortuguese
eualucinava
tualucinavas
vocêalucinava
ele/elaalucinava
nósalucinávamos
vósalucináveis

Conditional (Condicional) Regular

The condicional is for polite offers, soft questions, and hypothetical “would” outcomes, and it often closes a se + imperfeito do subjuntivo chain in formal style.

Você poderia me explicar outra vez?

PronounPortugueseEnglish
eualucinariaI would hallucinate
tualucinariasyou would hallucinate
vocêalucinariayou would hallucinate

vósalucinaríeisyou (pl.) would hallucinate
vocêsalucinariamyou (pl.) would hallucinate
eles/elasalucinariamthey would hallucinate

Future (Futuro do presente) Regular

The futuro do presente states future facts; in everyday conversation you will often hear ir + infinitive or even the present with a time adverb instead of the synthetic future.

Amanhã faremos a reunião mais cedo.

PronounPortugueseEnglish
eualucinareiI will hallucinate
tualucinarásyou will hallucinate
vocêalucinaráyou will hallucinate

Present perfect (Pretérito perfeito composto) Regular

The pretérito perfeito composto uses ter or haver plus the participle for a past that still touches the present or happens repeatedly up to now — a “have done” perfect with strong links to European norms.

Tenho pensado nisso há semanas.

PronounPortugueseEnglish
eutenho alucinadoI have hallucinated
tutens alucinadoyou have hallucinated
vocêtem alucinadoyou have hallucinated

Pluperfect (Mais-que-perfeito composto) Regular

The mais-que-perfeito composto is the pluperfect: an action was already finished before another past reference. It mirrors the English “had already”.

Já tinham saído quando chegámos.

PronounPortugueseEnglish
eutinha alucinadoI had hallucinated
tutinhas alucinadoyou had hallucinated
vocêtinha alucinadoyou had hallucinated
ele/elatinha alucinadohe/she/it had hallucinated

vocêstinham alucinadoyou (pl.) had hallucinated
eles/elastinham alucinadothey had hallucinated

Conditional perfect (Condicional composto) Regular

The condicional composto expresses a counterfactual “would have” and appears with the right kind of if-clause in the subjunctive past for unreal conditions.

Teria aceite se tiveses avisado com antecedência.

PronounPortuguese
euteria alucinado
tuterias alucinado
vocêteria alucinado
ele/elateria alucinado
nósteríamos alucinado
vósteríeis alucinado
vocêsteriam alucinado
eles/elasteriam alucinado

Future perfect (Futuro composto) Regular

The futuro composto is the future-in-the-future: something will be finished before a later time. It is less frequent than the simple future but still useful for deadlines.

Até sexta, teremos lido tudo o relatório.

PronounPortugueseEnglish
euterei alucinadoI will have hallucinated
tuterás alucinadoyou will have hallucinated
vocêterá alucinadoyou will have hallucinated
ele/elaterá alucinadohe/she/it will have hallucinated

vocêsterão alucinadoyou (pl.) will have hallucinated
eles/elasterão alucinadothey will have hallucinated

Subjunctive

Present subjunctive (Conjuntivo presente) Regular

The present subjunctive appears after want, hope, fear, and impersonal triggers, and typically requires a new subject in the subordinate clause, just as in the other main Romance languages.

Espero que encontres o caminho fácil.

PronounPortuguese
eualucine
tualucines
vocêalucine
ele/elaalucine
nósalucinemos
vósalucineis
vocêsalucinem
eles/elasalucinem

Imperfect subjunctive (Conjuntivo pretérito imperf.) Regular

The imperfect subjunctive in se + subjunctive → condicional is the classic “if I were a rich man” line in European Portuguese, parallel to the Spanish -ra form.

Se tivesse mais tempo, aprenderia outro idioma.

PronounPortuguese
eualucinasse
tualucinasses
vocêalucinasse
ele/elaalucinasse
nósalucinássemos
vósalucinásseis
vocêsalucinassem
eles/elasalucinassem

Other forms

Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo afirmativo) Regular

The affirmative imperative in Portuguese is built with tu, você, nós, vós, and vocês forms; Brazilian norms favour você/vocês with third-person present verb shapes.

Diga a verdade, por favor.

PronounPortuguese
tualucina
vocêalucine
ele/elaalucine
nósalucinemos
vósalucinai
vocêsalucinem
eles/elasalucinem

Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Regular

Negative commands require não plus the present subjunctive for each person, which is a distinctive feature compared to other Romance systems that reuse present indicative in some slots.

Não falemos com pressa, está tudo calmo.

PronounPortuguese
tunão alucines
vocênão alucine
ele/elanão alucine
nósnão alucinemos
