Frequency#363Irregular

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

tuplanejasteyou planned
vocêplanejouyou planned

vocêsplanejaramyou (pl.) planned
eles/elasplanejaramthey planned

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
euplanejava
tuplanejavas
vocêplanejava
ele/elaplanejava
nósplanejávamos
vósplanejáveis
vocêsplanejavam

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
euplanejariaI would plan
tuplanejariasyou would plan
vocêplanejariayou would plan
ele/elaplanejariahe/she/it would plan
nósplanejaríamoswe would plan
vósplanejaríeisyou (pl.) would plan
vocêsplanejariamyou (pl.) would plan
eles/elasplanejariamthey would plan

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
euplanejareiI will plan
tuplanejarásyou will plan
vocêplanejaráyou will plan
ele/elaplanejaráhe/she/it will plan
nósplanejaremoswe will plan
vósplanejareisyou (pl.) will plan
vocêsplanejarãoyou (pl.) will plan
eles/elasplanejarãothey will plan

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 planejadoI have planned
tutens planejadoyou have planned
vocêtem planejadoyou have planned
ele/elatem planejadohe/she/it has planned
nóstemos planejadowe have planned
vóstendes planejadoyou (pl.) have planned
vocêstêm planejadoyou (pl.) have planned
eles/elastêm planejadothey have planned

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 planejadoI had planned
tutinhas planejadoyou had planned
vocêtinha planejadoyou had planned
ele/elatinha planejadohe/she/it had planned
nóstínhamos planejadowe had planned
vóstínheis planejadoyou (pl.) had planned
vocêstinham planejadoyou (pl.) had planned
eles/elastinham planejadothey had planned

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

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 planejadoI will have planned
tuterás planejadoyou will have planned
vocêterá planejadoyou will have planned
ele/elaterá planejadohe/she/it will have planned

vóstereis planejadoyou (pl.) will have planned
vocêsterão planejadoyou (pl.) will have planned
eles/elasterão planejadothey will have planned

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
euplaneje
tuplanejes
vocêplaneje
ele/elaplaneje
nósplanejemos
vósplanejeis
vocêsplanejem
eles/elasplanejem

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
euplanejasse
tuplanejasses
vocêplanejasse
ele/elaplanejasse
nósplanejássemos
vósplanejásseis
vocêsplanejassem
eles/elasplanejassem

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
tuplaneja
vocêplaneje
ele/elaplaneje
nósplanejemos
vósplanejai
vocêsplanejem
eles/elasplanejem

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 planejes
vocênão planeje
ele/elanão planeje
nósnão planejemos
vósnão planejeis
