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.

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
euaturava
tuaturavas
vocêaturava
ele/elaaturava
nósaturávamos
vósaturáveis

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
euaturariaI would endure
tuaturariasyou would endure
vocêaturariayou would endure
ele/elaaturariahe/she/it would endure

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
euaturareiI will endure
tuaturarásyou will endure
vocêaturaráyou will endure
ele/elaaturaráhe/she/it will endure
nósaturaremoswe will endure

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 aturadoI have endured
tutens aturadoyou have endured

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 aturadoI had endured
tutinhas aturadoyou had endured
vocêtinha aturadoyou had endured
ele/elatinha aturadohe/she/it had endured

vóstínheis aturadoyou (pl.) had endured
vocêstinham aturadoyou (pl.) had endured
eles/elastinham aturadothey had endured

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 aturado
tuterias aturado
vocêteria aturado
ele/elateria aturado
nósteríamos aturado
vósteríeis aturado
vocêsteriam aturado
eles/elasteriam aturado

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 aturadoI will have endured
tuterás aturadoyou will have endured
vocêterá aturadoyou will have endured
ele/elaterá aturadohe/she/it will have endured

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
euature
tuatures
vocêature
ele/elaature
nósaturemos
vósatureis
vocêsaturem
eles/elasaturem

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
euaturasse
tuaturasses
vocêaturasse
ele/elaaturasse
nósaturássemos
vósaturásseis
vocêsaturassem
eles/elasaturassem

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
tuatura
vocêature
ele/elaature
nósaturemos
vósaturai
vocêsaturem
eles/elasaturem

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 atures
vocênão ature
ele/elanão ature
nósnão aturemos
