to furnish

Frequency#674Irregular

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.

PronounPortugueseEnglish

vocêmobíliayou furnish
ele/elamobíliahe/she/it furnishes

vósmobiliaisyou (pl.) furnish
vocêsmobíliamyou (pl.) furnish

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.

PronounPortugueseEnglish
eumobilieiI furnished
tumobiliasteyou furnished
vocêmobiliouyou furnished
ele/elamobiliouhe/she/it furnished
nósmobiliamoswe furnished
vósmobiliastesyou (pl.) furnished
vocêsmobiliaramyou (pl.) furnished
eles/elasmobiliaramthey furnished

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
eumobiliava
tumobiliavas
vocêmobiliava
ele/elamobiliava
nósmobiliávamos
vósmobiliáveis
vocêsmobiliavam
eles/elasmobiliavam

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
eumobiliariaI would furnish
tumobiliariasyou would furnish
vocêmobiliariayou would furnish
ele/elamobiliariahe/she/it would furnish
nósmobiliaríamoswe would furnish
vósmobiliaríeisyou (pl.) would furnish
vocêsmobiliariamyou (pl.) would furnish
eles/elasmobiliariamthey would furnish

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
eumobiliareiI will furnish
tumobiliarásyou will furnish
vocêmobiliaráyou will furnish
ele/elamobiliaráhe/she/it will furnish
nósmobiliaremoswe will furnish
vósmobiliareisyou (pl.) will furnish
vocêsmobiliarãoyou (pl.) will furnish
eles/elasmobiliarãothey will furnish

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 mobiliadoI have furnished
tutens mobiliadoyou have furnished
vocêtem mobiliadoyou have furnished
ele/elatem mobiliadohe/she/it has furnished
nóstemos mobiliadowe have furnished
vóstendes mobiliadoyou (pl.) have furnished
vocêstêm mobiliadoyou (pl.) have furnished
eles/elastêm mobiliadothey have furnished

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 mobiliadoI had furnished
tutinhas mobiliadoyou had furnished
vocêtinha mobiliadoyou had furnished
ele/elatinha mobiliadohe/she/it had furnished
nóstínhamos mobiliadowe had furnished
vóstínheis mobiliadoyou (pl.) had furnished
vocêstinham mobiliadoyou (pl.) had furnished
eles/elastinham mobiliadothey had furnished

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

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 mobiliadoI will have furnished
tuterás mobiliadoyou will have furnished
vocêterá mobiliadoyou will have furnished
ele/elaterá mobiliadohe/she/it will have furnished
nósteremos mobiliadowe will have furnished
vóstereis mobiliadoyou (pl.) will have furnished
vocêsterão mobiliadoyou (pl.) will have furnished
eles/elasterão mobiliadothey will have furnished

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
eumobílie
tumobílies
vocêmobílie
ele/elamobílie
nósmobiliemos
vósmobilieis
vocêsmobíliem
eles/elasmobíliem

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
eumobiliasse
tumobiliasses
vocêmobiliasse
ele/elamobiliasse
nósmobiliássemos
vósmobiliásseis
vocêsmobiliassem
eles/elasmobiliassem

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
tumobília
vocêmobílie
ele/elamobílie
nósmobiliemos
vósmobiliai
vocêsmobíliem
eles/elasmobíliem

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 mobílies
vocênão mobílie
ele/elanão mobílie
nósnão mobiliemos
vósnão mobilieis
vocêsnão mobíliem
