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.

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
euinfringia
tuinfringias
vocêinfringia
ele/elainfringia
nósinfringíamos
vósinfringíeis

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
euinfringiriaI would infringe
tuinfringiriasyou would infringe

vocêsinfringiriamyou (pl.) would infringe
eles/elasinfringiriamthey would infringe

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

tuinfringirásyou will infringe
vocêinfringiráyou will infringe

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 infringidoI have infringed
tutens infringidoyou have infringed
vocêtem infringidoyou have infringed

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 infringidoI had infringed
tutinhas infringidoyou had infringed
vocêtinha infringidoyou had infringed
ele/elatinha infringidohe/she/it had infringed

vocêstinham infringidoyou (pl.) had infringed
eles/elastinham infringidothey had infringed

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

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 infringidoI will have infringed
tuterás infringidoyou will have infringed
vocêterá infringidoyou will have infringed

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
euinfrinja
tuinfrinjas
vocêinfrinja
ele/elainfrinja
nósinfrinjamos
vósinfrinjais
vocêsinfrinjam
eles/elasinfrinjam

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
euinfringisse
tuinfringisses
vocêinfringisse
ele/elainfringisse
nósinfringíssemos
vósinfringísseis
vocêsinfringissem
eles/elasinfringissem

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
tuinfringe
vocêinfrinja
ele/elainfrinja
nósinfrinjamos
vósinfringi
vocêsinfrinjam
eles/elasinfrinjam

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 infrinjas
vocênão infrinja
ele/elanão infrinja
nósnão infrinjamos
