🧠 How to practice the gerund form in Portuguese? Easy: use a picture! Pick any photo with people or actions, and describe what’s happening using verbs in the gerund (the -ing form in English). šŸ’” In Portuguese, we form the gerund with: šŸ‘‰ estar + verb in -ndo Example – imagine a photo of a group of friends at a bar: šŸ» Ela estĆ” bebendo um drink . = She is drinking cocktail. šŸ˜‚ Ele estĆ” rindo alto. = He is laughing loudly. šŸ“± A moƧa estĆ” mexendo no celular. = The girl is checking her phone. šŸŖ‘ Eles estĆ£o conversando. = They are chatting. šŸ“ŗ EstĆ” passando um jogo na TV. = A game is playing on the TV. šŸ” Now it’s your turn! Choose a photo from your camera roll and describe what people are doing using estar + gerĆŗndio. šŸŽÆ It's a great way to think in Portuguese and get more comfortable with everyday structures! #LearnPortuguese #PortugueseForBeginners #Gerund #PortugueseGrammar #PortugueseTips #PracticePortuguese
