Verbs are where Portuguese starts to feel like a system rather than a list of words, and this short guide narrows its scope to a handful of constructions: infinitives, the impersonal form pode-se, the going-to future, the present perfect and the present tense. Keeping the list small is a sensible choice for a first pass, because each form gets room to be explained rather than squeezed in beside a dozen others.
Each tense is handled the same way: a plain explanation of how it is formed, then how it is negated, then how it moves between Portuguese and English. Practice sentences follow every explanation, so the rules get tested straight away. Vocabulary is deliberately limited, which suits someone who has never studied grammar before and wants to avoid being overloaded.
Both varieties are covered. Where vocabulary or pronunciation differs between European and Brazilian Portuguese, the differences are spelled out instead of being left for the learner to notice. That makes this a useful companion for a learner who is not yet sure which variety to commit to.
Hello and welcome to this Quick Guide course on Portuguese verbs.
This guide is perfect for students who need help learning about Portuguese verbs.
In any language, verbs are the backbone to sentences. Without verbs there would be no sentences. The good thing about verbs is that you can manipulate them and use them to express anything you like. Look at these sentences, for example:
I learn Portuguese
I’m learning Portuguese
I’m going to learn Portuguese
I have learnt Portuguese
I want to learn Portuguese
All these sentences contain pretty much the same words, “I”, “learn” and “Portuguese”, but they mean different things because we’ve manipulated the verb “learn” into different tenses.
In this course, you'll get an introduction to using and recognising Portuguese verbs in the following areas:
infinitives
the impersonal verb "pode-se"
the "going" future
the present perfect tense
the present tense
Both European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are covered in this course - if there are any differences in vocabulary or pronunciation, I explain these in full.
"Portuguese Grammar - Quick Guide - Verbs 1" is particularly useful for complete beginners in Portuguese grammar as everything is explained assuming no prior knowledge. The vocabulary used is limited so as to avoid over-complication. Each tense is explained, showing how to form the tense, how to negate it, and how to translate it to and from English.
Each tense starts with a simple explanation followed by lots of practise sentences to build confidence and proficiency.
I hope you enjoy :-)
