Portuguese Present tense

<< Portuguese:Regular verbs

Regular verbs have a invariable radical (falar - to speak) and are easy to memorize. Each conjugation follows a different, but regular pattern.

Edit

-ar present tense regular verbs

All regular verbs ending in -ar are conjugated the same way. The cojugation is dependant on the subject that the verb is in reference to. Here is an example conjugation for the verb falar:

I speak Eu fal o 
You (s,inf) speak Tu fal as 
He speaks
 
Ele fal a 
We speak Nós fal
 
amos 
You (p) speak Vós fal
 
ais 
They speak
 
Eles fal am 

Edit

-er present tense regular verbs



I eat Eu com o 
You (s,inf) eat Tu com es 
He eats
 
Ele com e 
We eat Nós com
 
emos 
You (p) eat Vós com
 
eis 
They eat
 
Eles com em 

Edit

-ir present tense regular verbs

Regular tense verbs ending in -ir are handled very similarly to -er verbs. The only difference is the conjugation for nós and vós. Here is an example conjugation for the verb partir (to leave):

I leave Eu part o 
You (s,inf) leave Tu part es 
He leave
 
Ele part e 
We leave Nós part
 
imos 
You (p) leave Vós part is 
They leave
 
Eles part em
