Frequency#1044Irregular

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
eurestaureiI restored

vocêrestaurouyou restored
ele/elarestaurouhe/she/it restored

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
eurestaurava
turestauravas
vocêrestaurava
ele/elarestaurava
nósrestaurávamos
vósrestauráveis
vocêsrestauravam
eles/elasrestauravam

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
eurestaurariaI would restore
turestaurariasyou would restore
vocêrestaurariayou would restore
ele/elarestaurariahe/she/it would restore
nósrestauraríamoswe would restore
vósrestauraríeisyou (pl.) would restore
vocêsrestaurariamyou (pl.) would restore
eles/elasrestaurariamthey would restore

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
eurestaurareiI will restore
turestaurarásyou will restore
vocêrestauraráyou will restore
ele/elarestauraráhe/she/it will restore
nósrestauraremoswe will restore
vósrestaurareisyou (pl.) will restore

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 restauradoI have restored
tutens restauradoyou have restored
vocêtem restauradoyou have restored
ele/elatem restauradohe/she/it has restored

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 restauradoI had restored
tutinhas restauradoyou had restored
vocêtinha restauradoyou had restored
ele/elatinha restauradohe/she/it had restored
nóstínhamos restauradowe had restored
vóstínheis restauradoyou (pl.) had restored
vocêstinham restauradoyou (pl.) had restored
eles/elastinham restauradothey had restored

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

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 restauradoI will have restored
tuterás restauradoyou will have restored
vocêterá restauradoyou will have restored
ele/elaterá restauradohe/she/it will have restored

vóstereis restauradoyou (pl.) will have restored
vocêsterão restauradoyou (pl.) will have restored
eles/elasterão restauradothey will have restored

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
eurestaure
turestaures
vocêrestaure
ele/elarestaure
nósrestauremos
vósrestaureis
vocêsrestaurem
eles/elasrestaurem

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
eurestaurasse
turestaurasses
vocêrestaurasse
ele/elarestaurasse
nósrestaurássemos
vósrestaurásseis
vocêsrestaurassem
eles/elasrestaurassem

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
turestaura
vocêrestaure
ele/elarestaure
nósrestauremos
vósrestaurai
vocêsrestaurem
eles/elasrestaurem

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 restaures
vocênão restaure
ele/elanão restaure
nósnão restauremos
vósnão restaureis
