to share

Frequency#138Irregular

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.

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
eupartilheiI shared
tupartilhasteyou shared
vocêpartilhouyou shared
ele/elapartilhouhe/she/it shared

vóspartilhastesyou (pl.) shared
vocêspartilharamyou (pl.) shared
eles/elaspartilharamthey shared

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
eupartilhava
tupartilhavas
vocêpartilhava
ele/elapartilhava
nóspartilhávamos
vóspartilháveis
vocêspartilhavam
eles/elaspartilhavam

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
eupartilhariaI would share
tupartilhariasyou would share
vocêpartilhariayou would share
ele/elapartilhariahe/she/it would share
nóspartilharíamoswe would share
vóspartilharíeisyou (pl.) would share
vocêspartilhariamyou (pl.) would share
eles/elaspartilhariamthey would share

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
eupartilhareiI will share
tupartilharásyou will share
vocêpartilharáyou will share
ele/elapartilharáhe/she/it will share
nóspartilharemoswe will share
vóspartilhareisyou (pl.) will share
vocêspartilharãoyou (pl.) will share
eles/elaspartilharãothey will share

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 partilhadoI have shared
tutens partilhadoyou have shared
vocêtem partilhadoyou have shared
ele/elatem partilhadohe/she/it has shared

vóstendes partilhadoyou (pl.) have shared
vocêstêm partilhadoyou (pl.) have shared
eles/elastêm partilhadothey have shared

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 partilhadoI had shared
tutinhas partilhadoyou had shared
vocêtinha partilhadoyou had shared
ele/elatinha partilhadohe/she/it had shared
nóstínhamos partilhadowe had shared
vóstínheis partilhadoyou (pl.) had shared
vocêstinham partilhadoyou (pl.) had shared
eles/elastinham partilhadothey had shared

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

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 partilhadoI will have shared
tuterás partilhadoyou will have shared
vocêterá partilhadoyou will have shared
ele/elaterá partilhadohe/she/it will have shared

vóstereis partilhadoyou (pl.) will have shared
vocêsterão partilhadoyou (pl.) will have shared
eles/elasterão partilhadothey will have shared

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
eupartilhe
tupartilhes
vocêpartilhe
ele/elapartilhe
nóspartilhemos
vóspartilheis
vocêspartilhem
eles/elaspartilhem

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
eupartilhasse
tupartilhasses
vocêpartilhasse
ele/elapartilhasse
nóspartilhássemos
vóspartilhásseis
vocêspartilhassem
eles/elaspartilhassem

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
tupartilha
vocêpartilhe
ele/elapartilhe
nóspartilhemos
vóspartilhai
vocêspartilhem
eles/elaspartilhem

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 partilhes
vocênão partilhe
ele/elanão partilhe
nósnão partilhemos
vósnão partilheis
vocêsnão partilhem
