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.

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
eudeflacionava
tudeflacionavas
vocêdeflacionava
ele/eladeflacionava
nósdeflacionávamos
vósdeflacionáveis

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.

PronounPortugueseEnglish
eudeflacionariaI would deflate
tudeflacionariasyou would deflate
vocêdeflacionariayou would deflate
ele/eladeflacionariahe/she/it would deflate

vocêsdeflacionariamyou (pl.) would deflate

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

tudeflacionarásyou will deflate

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 deflacionadoI have deflated
tutens deflacionadoyou have deflated

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”.

tutinhas deflacionadoyou had deflated
vocêtinha deflacionadoyou had deflated

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

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 deflacionadoI will have deflated
tuterás deflacionadoyou will have deflated

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
eudeflacione
tudeflaciones
vocêdeflacione
ele/eladeflacione
nósdeflacionemos
vósdeflacioneis
vocêsdeflacionem
eles/elasdeflacionem

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
eudeflacionasse
tudeflacionasses
vocêdeflacionasse
ele/eladeflacionasse
nósdeflacionássemos
vósdeflacionásseis
vocêsdeflacionassem
eles/elasdeflacionassem

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
tudeflaciona
vocêdeflacione
ele/eladeflacione
nósdeflacionemos
vósdeflacionai
vocêsdeflacionem
eles/elasdeflacionem

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 deflaciones
vocênão deflacione
ele/elanão deflacione
nósnão deflacionemos
