Frequency#355Irregular

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.

vocêorganizayou organise
ele/elaorganizahe/she/it organises

vósorganizaisyou (pl.) organise
vocêsorganizamyou (pl.) organise

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
euorganizeiI organised
tuorganizasteyou organised
vocêorganizouyou organised
ele/elaorganizouhe/she/it organised
nósorganizamoswe organised
vósorganizastesyou (pl.) organised
vocêsorganizaramyou (pl.) organised
eles/elasorganizaramthey organised

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
euorganizava
tuorganizavas
vocêorganizava
ele/elaorganizava
nósorganizávamos
vósorganizáveis
vocêsorganizavam
eles/elasorganizavam

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
euorganizariaI would organise
tuorganizariasyou would organise
vocêorganizariayou would organise
ele/elaorganizariahe/she/it would organise
nósorganizaríamoswe would organise
vósorganizaríeisyou (pl.) would organise
vocêsorganizariamyou (pl.) would organise
eles/elasorganizariamthey would organise

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
euorganizareiI will organise
tuorganizarásyou will organise
vocêorganizaráyou will organise
ele/elaorganizaráhe/she/it will organise
nósorganizaremoswe will organise
vósorganizareisyou (pl.) will organise
vocêsorganizarãoyou (pl.) will organise
eles/elasorganizarãothey will organise

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 organizadoI have organised
tutens organizadoyou have organised
vocêtem organizadoyou have organised
ele/elatem organizadohe/she/it has organised
nóstemos organizadowe have organised
vóstendes organizadoyou (pl.) have organised
vocêstêm organizadoyou (pl.) have organised
eles/elastêm organizadothey have organised

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 organizadoI had organised
tutinhas organizadoyou had organised
vocêtinha organizadoyou had organised
ele/elatinha organizadohe/she/it had organised
nóstínhamos organizadowe had organised
vóstínheis organizadoyou (pl.) had organised
vocêstinham organizadoyou (pl.) had organised
eles/elastinham organizadothey had organised

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

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 organizadoI will have organised
tuterás organizadoyou will have organised
vocêterá organizadoyou will have organised
ele/elaterá organizadohe/she/it will have organised
nósteremos organizadowe will have organised
vóstereis organizadoyou (pl.) will have organised
vocêsterão organizadoyou (pl.) will have organised
eles/elasterão organizadothey will have organised

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
euorganize
tuorganizes
vocêorganize
ele/elaorganize
nósorganizemos
vósorganizeis
vocêsorganizem
eles/elasorganizem

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
euorganizasse
tuorganizasses
vocêorganizasse
ele/elaorganizasse
nósorganizássemos
vósorganizásseis
vocêsorganizassem
eles/elasorganizassem

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
tuorganiza
vocêorganize
ele/elaorganize
nósorganizemos
vósorganizai
vocêsorganizem
eles/elasorganizem

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 organizes
vocênão organize
ele/elanão organize
nósnão organizemos
vósnão organizeis
vocêsnão organizem
eles/elasnão organizem
