to hurt

Frequency#577Irregular

Indicative

Present (Presente) Irregular

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.

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.

tumagoasteyou hurt
vocêmagoouyou hurt

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
eumagoava
tumagoavas
vocêmagoava
ele/elamagoava
nósmagoávamos
vósmagoáveis

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
eumagoariaI would hurt
tumagoariasyou would hurt
vocêmagoariayou would hurt
ele/elamagoariahe/she/it would hurt
nósmagoaríamoswe would hurt
vósmagoaríeisyou (pl.) would hurt
vocêsmagoariamyou (pl.) would hurt
eles/elasmagoariamthey would hurt

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
eumagoareiI will hurt
tumagoarásyou will hurt
vocêmagoaráyou will hurt
ele/elamagoaráhe/she/it will hurt
nósmagoaremoswe will hurt
vósmagoareisyou (pl.) will hurt
vocêsmagoarãoyou (pl.) will hurt

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 magoadoI have hurt
tutens magoadoyou have hurt
vocêtem magoadoyou have hurt
ele/elatem magoadohe/she/it has hurt

vóstendes magoadoyou (pl.) have hurt
vocêstêm magoadoyou (pl.) have hurt

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 magoadoI had hurt
tutinhas magoadoyou had hurt
vocêtinha magoadoyou had hurt
ele/elatinha magoadohe/she/it had hurt

vóstínheis magoadoyou (pl.) had hurt
vocêstinham magoadoyou (pl.) had hurt
eles/elastinham magoadothey had hurt

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

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 magoadoI will have hurt
tuterás magoadoyou will have hurt
vocêterá magoadoyou will have hurt
ele/elaterá magoadohe/she/it will have hurt
nósteremos magoadowe will have hurt
vóstereis magoadoyou (pl.) will have hurt
vocêsterão magoadoyou (pl.) will have hurt
eles/elasterão magoadothey will have hurt

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
eumagoe
tumagoes
vocêmagoe
ele/elamagoe
nósmagoemos
vósmagoeis
vocêsmagoem
eles/elasmagoem

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
eumagoasse
tumagoasses
vocêmagoasse
ele/elamagoasse
nósmagoássemos
vósmagoásseis
vocêsmagoassem
eles/elasmagoassem

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
tumagoa
vocêmagoe
ele/elamagoe
nósmagoemos
vósmagoai
vocêsmagoem
eles/elasmagoem

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 magoes
vocênão magoe
ele/elanão magoe
nósnão magoemos
vósnão magoeis
vocêsnão magoem
