__TOC__
Welcome to Unit 2 of the "Complete 0 to A1 Portuguese Course"! In this unit, we will dive into the exciting world of Portuguese verbs in the present tense. Verbs are the building blocks of any language, and mastering their conjugation is essential for effective communication. In this lesson, we will focus specifically on regular verbs in the present tense. So let's get started and learn how to conjugate regular verbs in Portuguese!
 
== Regular Verbs in the Present Tense ==
 
Verbs in Portuguese can be classified into two categories: regular verbs and irregular verbs. Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern in their conjugation, making them easier to learn. In this lesson, we will focus on regular verbs in the present tense, which is used to talk about actions happening in the present moment or habitual actions. To conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, we need to consider the subject pronouns and apply the appropriate verb endings. Let's go through each subject pronoun and its corresponding verb ending:


In this lesson, you will learn how to conjugate regular verbs in the present tense. Portuguese verbs are divided into three groups, based on their endings: "-ar", "-er", and "-ir". Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern when conjugated, based on their group.
{| class="wikitable"
! Portuguese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Eu || [ew] || I
|-
| Tu || [too] || You (informal)
|-
| Ele / Ela / Você || [eh-lee / eh-lah / vo-say] || He / She / You (formal)
|-
| Nós || [noys] || We
|-
| Vós || [voys] || You all (informal)
|-
| Eles / Elas / Vocês || [eh-lees / eh-lahs / vo-says] || They / They / You all (formal)
|}


Let's start by reviewing the present tense endings for regular verbs in Portuguese:
Now, let's see how these verb endings are applied to regular verbs. In Portuguese, regular verbs end in -ar, -er, or -ir. To conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, we remove the -ar, -er, or -ir ending and add the appropriate verb ending based on the subject pronoun. Let's take a look at some examples:


* "-ar" verbs: eu-o, tu-as, ele/ela-a, nós-amos, vós-ais, eles/elas-am
=== Conjugating -ar Verbs ===
* "-er" verbs: eu-o, tu-es, ele/ela-e, nós-emos, vós-eis, eles/elas-em
* "-ir" verbs: eu-o, tu-es, ele/ela-e, nós-imos, vós-is, eles/elas-em


<strong>Conjugating "-ar" verbs:</strong>
- Example 1: Falar (to speak)


To conjugate an "-ar" verb, simply remove the "-ar" ending and add the appropriate ending for the subject pronoun. Here is an example with the verb "falar" (to speak):

|-
| Tu falas || [too fah-lahs] || You speak (informal)

|-
| Eles / Elas / Vocês falam || [eh-lees / eh-lahs / vo-says fah-lam] || They / They / You all speak (formal)
|}

Introduction

Welcome to Unit 2 of the "Complete 0 to A1 Portuguese Course"! In this unit, we will dive into the exciting world of Portuguese verbs in the present tense. Verbs are the building blocks of any language, and mastering their conjugation is essential for effective communication. In this lesson, we will focus specifically on regular verbs in the present tense. So let's get started and learn how to conjugate regular verbs in Portuguese!

Regular Verbs in the Present Tense

Verbs in Portuguese can be classified into two categories: regular verbs and irregular verbs. Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern in their conjugation, making them easier to learn. In this lesson, we will focus on regular verbs in the present tense, which is used to talk about actions happening in the present moment or habitual actions. To conjugate regular verbs in the present tense, we need to consider the subject pronouns and apply the appropriate verb endings.
