Frequency#1175Regular

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) 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.

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
euluxava
tuluxavas
vocêluxava
ele/elaluxava
nósluxávamos
vósluxáveis

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

tuluxariasyou would luxuriate

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.

tuluxarásyou will luxuriate

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 luxadoI have luxuriated
tutens luxadoyou have luxuriated
vocêtem luxadoyou have luxuriated

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 luxadoI had luxuriated
tutinhas luxadoyou had luxuriated
vocêtinha luxadoyou had luxuriated
ele/elatinha luxadohe/she/it had luxuriated

vóstínheis luxadoyou (pl.) had luxuriated
vocêstinham luxadoyou (pl.) had luxuriated
eles/elastinham luxadothey had luxuriated

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

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 luxadoI will have luxuriated
tuterás luxadoyou will have luxuriated
vocêterá luxadoyou will have luxuriated

eles/elasterão luxadothey will have luxuriated

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
euluxe
tuluxes
vocêluxe
ele/elaluxe
nósluxemos
vósluxeis
vocêsluxem
eles/elasluxem

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
euluxasse
tuluxasses
vocêluxasse
ele/elaluxasse
nósluxássemos
vósluxásseis
vocêsluxassem
eles/elasluxassem

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
tuluxa
vocêluxe
ele/elaluxe
nósluxemos
vósluxai
vocêsluxem
eles/elasluxem

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 luxes
vocênão luxe
ele/elanão luxe
nósnão luxemos
vósnão luxeis
