to share

Frequency#243Irregular

Indicative

Present (Presente) Regular

The presente covers routines, states, and immediate future with adverbs like hoje or amanhã. One present form covers both English simple and progressive readings in most situations.

Ela estuda português todas as noites.

Preterite (Pretérito perfeito simples) Irregular

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.

PronounPortugueseEnglish
eucompartilheiI shared
tucompartilhasteyou shared
vocêcompartilhouyou shared
ele/elacompartilhouhe/she/it shared

vóscompartilhastesyou (pl.) shared
vocêscompartilharamyou (pl.) shared
eles/elascompartilharamthey shared

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
eucompartilhava
tucompartilhavas
vocêcompartilhava
ele/elacompartilhava
nóscompartilhávamos
vóscompartilháveis
vocêscompartilhavam
eles/elascompartilhavam

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
eucompartilhariaI would share
tucompartilhariasyou would share
vocêcompartilhariayou would share
ele/elacompartilhariahe/she/it would share
nóscompartilharíamoswe would share
vóscompartilharíeisyou (pl.) would share
vocêscompartilhariamyou (pl.) would share
eles/elascompartilhariamthey would share

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
eucompartilhareiI will share
tucompartilharásyou will share
vocêcompartilharáyou will share
ele/elacompartilharáhe/she/it will share
nóscompartilharemoswe will share
vóscompartilhareisyou (pl.) will share
vocêscompartilharãoyou (pl.) will share
eles/elascompartilharãothey will share

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 compartilhadoI have shared
tutens compartilhadoyou have shared
vocêtem compartilhadoyou have shared
ele/elatem compartilhadohe/she/it has shared
nóstemos compartilhadowe have shared
vóstendes compartilhadoyou (pl.) have shared
vocêstêm compartilhadoyou (pl.) have shared
eles/elastêm compartilhadothey have shared

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 compartilhadoI had shared
tutinhas compartilhadoyou had shared
vocêtinha compartilhadoyou had shared
ele/elatinha compartilhadohe/she/it had shared
nóstínhamos compartilhadowe had shared
vóstínheis compartilhadoyou (pl.) had shared
vocêstinham compartilhadoyou (pl.) had shared
eles/elastinham compartilhadothey had shared

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

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 compartilhadoI will have shared
tuterás compartilhadoyou will have shared
vocêterá compartilhadoyou will have shared
ele/elaterá compartilhadohe/she/it will have shared

vóstereis compartilhadoyou (pl.) will have shared
vocêsterão compartilhadoyou (pl.) will have shared
eles/elasterão compartilhadothey will have shared

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
eucompartilhe
tucompartilhes
vocêcompartilhe
ele/elacompartilhe
nóscompartilhemos
vóscompartilheis
vocêscompartilhem
eles/elascompartilhem

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
eucompartilhasse
tucompartilhasses
vocêcompartilhasse
ele/elacompartilhasse
nóscompartilhássemos
vóscompartilhásseis
vocêscompartilhassem
eles/elascompartilhassem

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
tucompartilha
vocêcompartilhe
ele/elacompartilhe
nóscompartilhemos
vóscompartilhai
vocêscompartilhem
eles/elascompartilhem

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 compartilhes
vocênão compartilhe
ele/elanão compartilhe
nósnão compartilhemos
vósnão compartilheis
vocêsnão compartilhem
