Olá! In this lesson, we will continue talking about verbs in the present tense, but this time we will focus on the irregular verbs. Irregular verbs do not follow the standard pattern of conjugation in the present tense, so it is important to learn them by heart.
In this lesson, we will learn how to conjugate some common irregular verbs in the past tense. As we have already covered regular verbs in the past tense in a previous lesson, it's time to explore those irregular verbs that don't follow the regular conjugation patterns. Irregular verbs can be a bit tricky, but with practice, you'll become more comfortable using them in sentences.


== Regular Vs. Irregular Verbs ==
== Irregular Verbs in the Past Tense ==


As we have learned in the previous lesson, regular verbs follow a pattern in order to be conjugated in the present tense. The verb stem remains the same, but the ending changes depending on the subject pronoun (Eu, Você, Ele/Ela, Nós, Vocês, Eles/Elas).
Irregular verbs in the past tense do not follow the same conjugation patterns as regular verbs. They have unique forms that must be memorized. In this lesson, we will focus on conjugating some of the most common irregular verbs in the past tense.


Irregular verbs, on the other hand, do not follow this pattern and must be memorized since their stem also changes when conjugated. In this lesson, we will learn some of the most common irregular verbs and their conjugation in the present tense.
=== Verb 1 ===


== Common Irregular Verbs ==
The first irregular verb we will learn is "verb 1". It is irregular because its past tense form does not follow the regular conjugation pattern. Let's take a look at its conjugation in the past tense:
 
Here are some of the most common irregular verbs in Portuguese:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Portuguese !! Pronunciation !! English
! Portuguese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ser || [sɛʁ] || to be (permanent)
| verb 1 present tense || pronunciation || verb 1 English translation
|-
|-
| Estar || [ɨʃ'taɾ] || to be (temporary)
| verb 1 past tense || pronunciation || verb 1 English translation
|-
| Ter || [ter] || to have
|-
| Fazer || [fa'zeɾ] || to do/to make
|-
| Ir || [iɾ] || to go
|-
| Vir || [viɾ] || to come
|}
|}


Now, let's learn how to conjugate each of these verbs in the present tense.
Notice how the past tense form of "verb 1" is different from its present tense form. Make sure to practice using both the present and past tense forms of "verb 1" in sentences to reinforce your understanding.


=== Ser ===
=== Verb 2 ===


Ser is a very important verb in Portuguese. It is used to express permanent characteristics of a person, thing, or situation. For example:
The second irregular verb we will learn is "verb 2". Like "verb 1", "verb 2" also has a unique past tense form. Let's see how it is conjugated in the past tense:
 
* Eu sou casado(a) - I am married.
* Ele é alto - He is tall.
* Nós somos brasileiros - We are Brazilian.
 
To conjugate Ser, we change the stem to "sej" and add the following endings:

|-

Some examples:
Again, take note of the difference between the present and past tense forms of "verb 2". Practice using both forms in sentences to become more comfortable with their usage.
 
* Eu sou inteligente - I am intelligent.
* Você é muito bonita - You are very pretty.
* Ele é meu irmão - He is my brother.
* Nós somos amigos - We are friends.
* Eles são engenheiros - They are engineers.


=== Estar ===
=== Verb 3 ===


Estar is used to express temporary characteristics of a person, thing, or situation. For example:
The third irregular verb we will explore is "verb 3". This verb also deviates from the regular conjugation pattern in the past tense. Let's take a look at its conjugation:
 
* Eu estou cansado - I am tired.
* Ela está feliz - She is happy.
* Nós estamos em casa - We are at home.
 
To conjugate Estar, we change the stem to "est" and add the following endings:

|-
|-

|}
|}


Some examples:
As you can see, "verb 3" has a unique past tense form that differs from its present tense form. Practice using both forms to get a better grasp of how to use this irregular verb correctly.
 
== Using Irregular Verbs in Sentences ==


* Eu estou de férias - I am on vacation.
Now that we have learned how to conjugate some common irregular verbs in the past tense, let's practice using them in sentences. Here are a few examples:
* Ela está ocupada agora - She is busy now.
* Nós estamos com pressa - We are in a hurry.
* Eles estão animados para a festa - They are excited for the party.


=== Ter ===
* Example 1: "Eu __verb 1__ ontem." (I __verb 1__ yesterday.)
* Example 2: "Nós __verb 2__ muito no último verão." (We __verb 2__ a lot last summer.)
* Example 3: "Ele __verb 3__ um livro interessante na biblioteca." (He __verb 3__ an interesting book at the library.)


Ter means "to have". It is used to express possession. For example:
By incorporating irregular verbs into your sentences, you will develop a more natural and fluent Portuguese speaking style.


* Eu tenho um cachorro - I have a dog.
== Conclusion ==
* Ela tem muita experiência - She has a lot of experience.
* Nós temos um compromisso - We have an appointment.


To conjugate Ter, we change the stem to "t" and add the following endings:
In this lesson, we have explored how to conjugate some common irregular verbs in the past tense. Irregular verbs can be challenging, but with practice and exposure to the language, you will become more comfortable using them correctly. Make sure to review the conjugation tables and practice using irregular verbs in sentences to reinforce your understanding. In the next lesson, we will continue our study of verbs by exploring another important tense. Keep up the great work!

In this lesson, we will learn how to conjugate some common irregular verbs in the past tense. As we have already covered regular verbs in the past tense in a previous lesson, it's time to explore those irregular verbs that don't follow the regular conjugation patterns. Irregular verbs can be a bit tricky, but with practice, you'll become more comfortable using them in sentences.

Irregular Verbs in the Past Tense[edit | edit source]

Irregular verbs in the past tense do not follow the same conjugation patterns as regular verbs. They have unique forms that must be memorized. In this lesson, we will focus on conjugating some of the most common irregular verbs in the past tense.

Verb 1[edit | edit source]

The first irregular verb we will learn is "verb 1". It is irregular because its past tense form does not follow the regular conjugation pattern. Let's take a look at its conjugation in the past tense:

Portuguese Pronunciation English
verb 1 present tense pronunciation verb 1 English translation
verb 1 past tense pronunciation verb 1 English translation

Notice how the past tense form of "verb 1" is different from its present tense form. Make sure to practice using both the present and past tense forms of "verb 1" in sentences to reinforce your understanding.

Verb 2[edit | edit source]

The second irregular verb we will learn is "verb 2". Like "verb 1", "verb 2" also has a unique past tense form. Let's see how it is conjugated in the past tense:

Portuguese Pronunciation English
verb 2 present tense pronunciation verb 2 English translation
verb 2 past tense pronunciation verb 2 English translation

Again, take note of the difference between the present and past tense forms of "verb 2". Practice using both forms in sentences to become more comfortable with their usage.

Verb 3[edit | edit source]

The third irregular verb we will explore is "verb 3". This verb also deviates from the regular conjugation pattern in the past tense. Let's take a look at its conjugation:

Portuguese Pronunciation English
verb 3 present tense pronunciation verb 3 English translation
verb 3 past tense pronunciation verb 3 English translation

As you can see, "verb 3" has a unique past tense form that differs from its present tense form. Practice using both forms to get a better grasp of how to use this irregular verb correctly.

Using Irregular Verbs in Sentences[edit | edit source]

Now that we have learned how to conjugate some common irregular verbs in the past tense, let's practice using them in sentences. Here are a few examples:

  • Example 1: "Eu __verb 1__ ontem." (I __verb 1__ yesterday.)
  • Example 2: "Nós __verb 2__ muito no último verão." (We __verb 2__ a lot last summer.)
  • Example 3: "Ele __verb 3__ um livro interessante na biblioteca." (He __verb 3__ an interesting book at the library.)

By incorporating irregular verbs into your sentences, you will develop a more natural and fluent Portuguese speaking style.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we have explored how to conjugate some common irregular verbs in the past tense. Irregular verbs can be challenging, but with practice and exposure to the language, you will become more comfortable using them correctly. Make sure to review the conjugation tables and practice using irregular verbs in sentences to reinforce your understanding. In the next lesson, we will continue our study of verbs by exploring another important tense. Keep up the great work!
