I've included the entire conjugation for the present, preterite, and imperfect indicative, but "tu" and "vós" are shaded gray to help focus on the ones that are essential for Brazilian Portuguese. Seeing the full conjugation can sometimes help to see the patterns more clearly.
I'm including "ser" because its preterite is identical to "ir," and it also shares some similarities with "ir" in the present.
"Ter" and "vir" look almost the same in the present, with the exception of "nós" and "vós." They are identical in the imperfect, except for the initial consonant.
"Ver" and "vir" are easily confused in the predicate.
Phil,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog.
I just moved to Brazil to pursue an entrepreneurial venture and I would like to speak with you about some of the tactics you use to learn Portuguese. Would you please contact me directly at: jcoinc at gmail
