Frequency#1037Regular

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.

Preterite (Pretérito perfeito simples) Regular

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.

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
euremediava
turemediavas
vocêremediava
ele/elaremediava
nósremediávamos
vósremediáveis

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
euremediariaI would remedy
turemediariasyou would remedy
vocêremediariayou would remedy
ele/elaremediariahe/she/it would remedy

vósremediaríeisyou (pl.) would remedy
vocêsremediariamyou (pl.) would remedy
eles/elasremediariamthey would remedy

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
euremediareiI will remedy
turemediarásyou will remedy
vocêremediaráyou will remedy
ele/elaremediaráhe/she/it will remedy

vósremediareisyou (pl.) will remedy

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 remediadoI have remedied
tutens remediadoyou have remedied
vocêtem remediadoyou have remedied
ele/elatem remediadohe/she/it has remedied

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 remediadoI had remedied
tutinhas remediadoyou had remedied
vocêtinha remediadoyou had remedied
ele/elatinha remediadohe/she/it had remedied

vóstínheis remediadoyou (pl.) had remedied
vocêstinham remediadoyou (pl.) had remedied
eles/elastinham remediadothey had remedied

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

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 remediadoI will have remedied
tuterás remediadoyou will have remedied
vocêterá remediadoyou will have remedied
ele/elaterá remediadohe/she/it will have remedied

vóstereis remediadoyou (pl.) will have remedied
vocêsterão remediadoyou (pl.) will have remedied
eles/elasterão remediadothey will have remedied

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
euremedeie
turemedeies
vocêremedeie
ele/elaremedeie
nósremediemos
vósremedieis
vocêsremedeiem
eles/elasremedeiem

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
euremediasse
turemediasses
vocêremediasse
ele/elaremediasse
nósremediássemos
vósremediásseis
vocêsremediassem
eles/elasremediassem

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
turemedeia
vocêremedeie
ele/elaremedeie
nósremediemos
vósremediai
vocêsremedeiem
eles/elasremedeiem

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 remedeies
vocênão remedeie
ele/elanão remedeie
nósnão remediemos
