đ§ How to practice the gerund form in Portuguese?
Easy: use a picture! Pick any photo with people or actions, and describe whatâs happening using verbs in the gerund (the -ing form in English).
đĄ In Portuguese, we form the gerund with:
đ estar + verb in -ndo
Example â imagine a photo of a group of friends at a bar:
đ» Ela estĂĄ bebendo um drink . = She is drinking cocktail.
đ Ele estĂĄ rindo alto. = He is laughing loudly.
đ± A moça estĂĄ mexendo no celular. = The girl is checking her phone.
đȘ Eles estĂŁo conversando. = They are chatting.
đș EstĂĄ passando um jogo na TV. = A game is playing on the TV.
đ Now itâs your turn!
Choose a photo from your camera roll and describe what people are doing using estar + gerĂșndio.
đŻ It's a great way to think in Portuguese and get more comfortable with everyday structures!
