Frequency#638Irregular

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.

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

tucriptografasteyou encrypted

vocêscriptografaramyou (pl.) encrypted
eles/elascriptografaramthey encrypted

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
eucriptografava
tucriptografavas
vocêcriptografava
ele/elacriptografava
nóscriptografávamos
vóscriptografáveis
vocêscriptografavam
eles/elascriptografavam

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
eucriptografariaI would encrypt
tucriptografariasyou would encrypt
vocêcriptografariayou would encrypt
ele/elacriptografariahe/she/it would encrypt
nóscriptografaríamoswe would encrypt
vóscriptografaríeisyou (pl.) would encrypt
vocêscriptografariamyou (pl.) would encrypt
eles/elascriptografariamthey would encrypt

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
eucriptografareiI will encrypt
tucriptografarásyou will encrypt

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 criptografadoI have encrypted
tutens criptografadoyou have encrypted

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 criptografadoI had encrypted
tutinhas criptografadoyou had encrypted
vocêtinha criptografadoyou had encrypted
ele/elatinha criptografadohe/she/it had encrypted

vóstínheis criptografadoyou (pl.) had encrypted
vocêstinham criptografadoyou (pl.) had encrypted
eles/elastinham criptografadothey had encrypted

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

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 criptografadoI will have encrypted
tuterás criptografadoyou will have encrypted

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
eucriptografe
tucriptografes
vocêcriptografe
ele/elacriptografe
nóscriptografemos
vóscriptografeis
vocêscriptografem
eles/elascriptografem

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
eucriptografasse
tucriptografasses
vocêcriptografasse
ele/elacriptografasse
nóscriptografássemos
vóscriptografásseis
vocêscriptografassem
eles/elascriptografassem

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
tucriptografa
vocêcriptografe
ele/elacriptografe
nóscriptografemos
vóscriptografai
vocêscriptografem
eles/elascriptografem

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.

tunão criptografes
vocênão criptografe
