How to work this Portuguese conjugation chart
In Portuguese, there are three main types of verbs: -ar verbs, -er verbs, and -ir verbs. These verb types are categorized based on their infinitive endings (-ar, -er, or -ir) and follow distinct patterns when conjugated.
To form the stem of a verb, you typically remove the -ar, -ir or -er ending from the infinitive form.
For example, from “falar,” you get the stem “fal-.”.
Next you will need to add a number of letters to complete the conjugation and include in the meaning the time and person it applies to.
