manifestar — Portuguese conjugation
to manifest
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 | manifesto | I manifest |
| tu | manifestas | you manifest |
| você | manifesta | you manifest |
| ele/ela | manifesta | he/she/it manifests |
| nós | manifestamos | we manifest |
| vós | manifestais | you (pl.) manifest |
| vocês | manifestam | you (pl.) manifest |
| eles/elas | manifestam | they manifest |
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.
| Pronoun | Portuguese | English |
|---|---|---|
| eu | manifestei | I manifested |
| tu | manifestaste | you manifested |
| você | manifestou | you manifested |
| ele/ela | manifestou | he/she/it manifested |
| nós | manifestamos | we manifested |
| vós | manifestastes | you (pl.) manifested |
| vocês | manifestaram | you (pl.) manifested |
| eles/elas | manifestaram | they manifested |
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 | manifestava |
| tu | manifestavas |
| você | manifestava |
| ele/ela | manifestava |
| nós | manifestávamos |
| vós | manifestáveis |
| vocês | manifestavam |
| eles/elas | manifestavam |
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 | manifestaria | I would manifest |
| tu | manifestarias | you would manifest |
| você | manifestaria | you would manifest |
| ele/ela | manifestaria | he/she/it would manifest |
| nós | manifestaríamos | we would manifest |
| vós | manifestaríeis | you (pl.) would manifest |
| vocês | manifestariam | you (pl.) would manifest |
| eles/elas | manifestariam | they would manifest |
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 | manifestarei | I will manifest |
| tu | manifestarás | you will manifest |
| você | manifestará | you will manifest |
| ele/ela | manifestará | he/she/it will manifest |
| nós | manifestaremos | we will manifest |
| vós | manifestareis | you (pl.) will manifest |
| vocês | manifestarão | you (pl.) will manifest |
| eles/elas | manifestarão | they will manifest |
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 manifestado | I have manifested |
| tu | tens manifestado | you have manifested |
| você | tem manifestado | you have manifested |
| ele/ela | tem manifestado | he/she/it has manifested |
| nós | temos manifestado | we have manifested |
| vós | tendes manifestado | you (pl.) have manifested |
| vocês | têm manifestado | you (pl.) have manifested |
| eles/elas | têm manifestado | they have manifested |
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 manifestado | I had manifested |
| tu | tinhas manifestado | you had manifested |
| você | tinha manifestado | you had manifested |
| ele/ela | tinha manifestado | he/she/it had manifested |
| nós | tínhamos manifestado | we had manifested |
| vós | tínheis manifestado | you (pl.) had manifested |
| vocês | tinham manifestado | you (pl.) had manifested |
| eles/elas | tinham manifestado | they had manifested |
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 manifestado |
| tu | terias manifestado |
| você | teria manifestado |
| ele/ela | teria manifestado |
| nós | teríamos manifestado |
| vós | teríeis manifestado |
| vocês | teriam manifestado |
| eles/elas | teriam manifestado |
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 manifestado | I will have manifested |
| tu | terás manifestado | you will have manifested |
| você | terá manifestado | you will have manifested |
| ele/ela | terá manifestado | he/she/it will have manifested |
| nós | teremos manifestado | we will have manifested |
| vós | tereis manifestado | you (pl.) will have manifested |
| vocês | terão manifestado | you (pl.) will have manifested |
| eles/elas | terão manifestado | they will have manifested |
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.

| Pronoun | Portuguese |
|---|---|
| eu | manifeste |
| tu | manifestes |
| você | manifeste |
| ele/ela | manifeste |
| nós | manifestemos |
| vós | manifesteis |
| vocês | manifestem |
| eles/elas | manifestem |
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 | manifestasse |
| tu | manifestasses |
| você | manifestasse |
| ele/ela | manifestasse |
| nós | manifestássemos |
| vós | manifestásseis |
| vocês | manifestassem |
| eles/elas | manifestassem |
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.

|---|---|
| tu | manifesta |
| você | manifeste |
| ele/ela | manifeste |
| nós | manifestemos |
| vós | manifestai |
| vocês | manifestem |

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.

| você | não manifeste |
| ele/ela | não manifeste |
