Frequency#484Irregular

Indicative

Present (Presente) Irregular

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) 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

Imperfect (Pretérito imperfeito) Irregular

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
euzangava-me
tuzangavas-te
vocêzangava-se
ele/elazangava-se
nószangávamo-nos

vocêszangavam-se
eles/elaszangavam-se

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
euzangar-me-iaI would get angry
tuzangar-te-iasyou would get angry
vocêzangar-se-iayou would get angry

vocêszangar-se-iamyou (pl.) would get angry
eles/elaszangar-se-iamthey would get angry

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
euzangar-me-eiI will get angry
tuzangar-te-ásyou will get angry
vocêzangar-se-áyou will get angry

vószangar-vos-eisyou (pl.) will get angry
vocêszangar-se-ãoyou (pl.) will get angry
eles/elaszangar-se-ãothey will get angry

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 zangadoI have gotten angry
tutens zangadoyou have gotten angry
vocêtem zangadoyou have gotten angry

vóstendes zangadoyou (pl.) have gotten angry
vocêstêm zangadoyou (pl.) have gotten angry

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 zangadoI had gotten angry
tutinhas zangadoyou had gotten angry
vocêtinha zangadoyou had gotten angry
ele/elatinha zangadohe/she/it had gotten angry
nóstínhamos zangadowe had gotten angry
vóstínheis zangadoyou (pl.) had gotten angry
vocêstinham zangadoyou (pl.) had gotten angry
eles/elastinham zangadothey had gotten angry

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

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 zangadoI will have gotten angry
tuterás zangadoyou will have gotten angry
vocêterá zangadoyou will have gotten angry
ele/elaterá zangadohe/she/it will have gotten angry
nósteremos zangadowe will have gotten angry

vocêsterão zangadoyou (pl.) will have gotten angry
eles/elasterão zangadothey will have gotten angry

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
euzangue-me
tuzangues-te
vocêzangue-se
ele/elazangue-se
nószanguemo-nos
vószangueis-vos
vocêszanguem-se
eles/elaszanguem-se

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
euzangasse-me
tuzangasses-te
vocêzangasse-se
ele/elazangasse-se
nószangássemo-nos
vószangásseis-vos
vocêszangassem-se
eles/elaszangassem-se

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
tuzanga-te
vocêzangue-se
ele/elazangue-se
nószanguemo-nos
vószangai-vos
vocêszanguem-se
eles/elaszanguem-se

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 te zangues
vocênão se zangue
ele/elanão se zangue
nósnão nos zanguemos
vósnão vos zangueis
vocêsnão se zanguem
eles/elasnão se zanguem
