injectar — Portuguese conjugation
to inject
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | injecto | I inject |
| tu | injectas | you inject |
| você | injecta | you inject |
| ele/ela | injecta | he/she/it injects |
| nós | injectamos | we inject |
| vós | injectais | you (pl.) inject |
| vocês | injectam | you (pl.) inject |
| eles/elas | injectam | they inject |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | injectei | I injected |
| tu | injectaste | you injected |
| você | injectou | you injected |
| ele/ela | injectou | he/she/it injected |
| nós | injectamos | we injected |
| vós | injectastes | you (pl.) injected |
| vocês | injectaram | you (pl.) injected |
| eles/elas | injectaram | they injected |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | injectava |
| tu | injectavas |
| você | injectava |
| ele/ela | injectava |
| nós | injectávamos |
| vós | injectáveis |
| vocês | injectavam |
| eles/elas | injectavam |
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?
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | injectaria | I would inject |
| tu | injectarias | you would inject |
| você | injectaria | you would inject |
| ele/ela | injectaria | he/she/it would inject |
| nós | injectaríamos | we would inject |
| vós | injectaríeis | you (pl.) would inject |
| vocês | injectariam | you (pl.) would inject |
| eles/elas | injectariam | they would inject |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | injectarei | I will inject |
| tu | injectarás | you will inject |
| você | injectará | you will inject |
| ele/ela | injectará | he/she/it will inject |
| nós | injectaremos | we will inject |
| vós | injectareis | you (pl.) will inject |
| vocês | injectarão | you (pl.) will inject |
| eles/elas | injectarão | they will inject |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | tenho injectado | I have injected |
| tu | tens injectado | you have injected |
| você | tem injectado | you have injected |
| ele/ela | tem injectado | he/she/it has injected |
| nós | temos injectado | we have injected |
| vós | tendes injectado | you (pl.) have injected |
| vocês | têm injectado | you (pl.) have injected |
| eles/elas | têm injectado | they have injected |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | tinha injectado | I had injected |
| tu | tinhas injectado | you had injected |
| você | tinha injectado | you had injected |
| ele/ela | tinha injectado | he/she/it had injected |
| nós | tínhamos injectado | we had injected |
| vós | tínheis injectado | you (pl.) had injected |
| vocês | tinham injectado | you (pl.) had injected |
| eles/elas | tinham injectado | they had injected |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | teria injectado |
| tu | terias injectado |
| você | teria injectado |
| ele/ela | teria injectado |
| nós | teríamos injectado |
| vós | teríeis injectado |
| vocês | teriam injectado |
| eles/elas | teriam injectado |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | terei injectado | I will have injected |
| tu | terás injectado | you will have injected |
| você | terá injectado | you will have injected |
| ele/ela | terá injectado | he/she/it will have injected |
| nós | teremos injectado | we will have injected |
| vós | tereis injectado | you (pl.) will have injected |
| vocês | terão injectado | you (pl.) will have injected |
| eles/elas | terão injectado | they will have injected |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | injecte |
| tu | injectes |
| você | injecte |
| ele/ela | injecte |
| nós | injectemos |
| vós | injecteis |
| vocês | injectem |
| eles/elas | injectem |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | injectasse |
| tu | injectasses |
| você | injectasse |
| ele/ela | injectasse |
| nós | injectássemos |
| vós | injectásseis |
| vocês | injectassem |
| eles/elas | injectassem |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| tu | injecta |
| você | injecte |
| ele/ela | injecte |
| nós | injectemos |
| vós | injectai |
| vocês | injectem |
| eles/elas | injectem |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| tu | não injectes |
| você | não injecte |
| ele/ela | não injecte |
| nós | não injectemos |
| vós | não injecteis |
| vocês | não injectem |
| eles/elas | não injectem |
