Portuguese/Contents/Present tense regular verbs
< Portuguese | Contents
Regular verbs have a invariable radical (falar - to speak) and are easy to memorize. Each conjugation follows a different, but a regular pattern.
-ar present tense regular verbs
[edit | edit source]All regular verbs ending in -ar are conjugated the same way. The conjugation is dependent 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 (also ela, você) |
Ele fal | a |
| We speak | Nós fal |
amos |
| You (p) speak | Vós fal |
ais |
| They speak (also elas, vocês) |
Eles fal | am |
-er present tense regular verbs
[edit | edit source]| I eat | Eu com | o |
| You (s,inf) eat | Tu com | es |
| He eats (also ela, você) |
Ele com | e |
| We eat | Nós com |

| You (p) eat | Vós com |
eis |
| They eat (also elas, vocês) |

-ir present tense regular verbs
[edit | edit source]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):
