Frequency#217Irregular

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.

vocêimplicouyou implicated

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
euimplicava
tuimplicavas
vocêimplicava
ele/elaimplicava
nósimplicávamos
vósimplicáveis

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
euimplicariaI would implicate
tuimplicariasyou would implicate
vocêimplicariayou would implicate
ele/elaimplicariahe/she/it would implicate

vósimplicaríeisyou (pl.) would implicate
vocêsimplicariamyou (pl.) would implicate
eles/elasimplicariamthey would implicate

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
euimplicareiI will implicate
tuimplicarásyou will implicate
vocêimplicaráyou will implicate
ele/elaimplicaráhe/she/it will implicate

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 implicadoI have implicated
tutens implicadoyou have implicated
vocêtem implicadoyou have implicated
ele/elatem implicadohe/she/it has implicated

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 implicadoI had implicated
tutinhas implicadoyou had implicated
vocêtinha implicadoyou had implicated
ele/elatinha implicadohe/she/it had implicated

vóstínheis implicadoyou (pl.) had implicated
vocêstinham implicadoyou (pl.) had implicated
eles/elastinham implicadothey had implicated

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

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 implicadoI will have implicated
tuterás implicadoyou will have implicated
vocêterá implicadoyou will have implicated
ele/elaterá implicadohe/she/it will have implicated

vóstereis implicadoyou (pl.) will have implicated
vocêsterão implicadoyou (pl.) will have implicated
eles/elasterão implicadothey will have implicated

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
euimplique
tuimpliques
vocêimplique
ele/elaimplique
nósimpliquemos
vósimpliqueis
vocêsimpliquem
eles/elasimpliquem

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
euimplicasse
tuimplicasses
vocêimplicasse
ele/elaimplicasse
nósimplicássemos
vósimplicásseis
vocêsimplicassem
eles/elasimplicassem

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
tuimplica
vocêimplique
ele/elaimplique
nósimpliquemos
vósimplicai
vocêsimpliquem
eles/elasimpliquem

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 impliques
vocênão implique
ele/elanão implique
nósnão impliquemos
vósnão impliqueis
