š§ How to practice the gerund form in Portuguese?
Easy: use a picture! Pick any photo with people or actions, and describe whatās happening using verbs in the gerund (the -ing form in English).
š” In Portuguese, we form the gerund with:
š estar + verb in -ndo
Example ā imagine a photo of a group of friends at a bar:
š» Ela estĆ” bebendo um drink . = She is drinking cocktail.
š Ele estĆ” rindo alto. = He is laughing loudly.
š± A moƧa estĆ” mexendo no celular. = The girl is checking her phone.
šŖ Eles estĆ£o conversando. = They are chatting.
šŗ EstĆ” passando um jogo na TV. = A game is playing on the TV.
š Now itās your turn!
Choose a photo from your camera roll and describe what people are doing using estar + gerĆŗndio.
šÆ It's a great way to think in Portuguese and get more comfortable with everyday structures!
