If you know any easier way to learn Portuguese verbs, please let me know...
Life is Complicated Enough. Why Not Simplify it with These Portuguese Verbs?
If anybody tells you that Portuguese conjugation is difficult, don't believe them! Indeed...
After studying Grammar for years, most Brazilians will have several doubts about it.
H-O-W-E-V-E-R...
It has nothing to do with daily and practical communication. (Here is where we enter...;)
Don’t worry about verb conjugation at all. Just focus on 3 basic tenses – present, past and future – and on the singular pronouns – I, you, he/she/it – and everything is going to be all right.
I promise.
See this example with the verb ‘falar’ – to speak. Firstly, the 'Abominable Snow Conjugation':
1. Eu falo, eu falei, eu falarei
2. Tu falas, tu falaste, tu falarás
3. Ele fala, ele falou, ele falará
4. Nós falamos, nós falamos, nós falaremos
5. Vós falais, vós falastes, vós falareis
6. Eles falam, eles falaram, eles falarão
Some Good News...
In the daily speech/writing, normal human beings usually abide by these rules:
- The second person of plural (vós/you) is not used.
- The second person of singular (tu/you) is usually replaced by ‘você’, and agrees with the third person: você fala, ele fala.
- The Future is not made according to the above grammar rule. Instead, just we just say ‘Eu vou, você vai, ele vai, nós vamos, eles vão’ + the infinitive of any verb: Eu vou falar. / I will speak. Você vai comer. / You will eat. Ele vai partir. / He will leave.
... And Here's ALL You Need to Get Started:
Present, Past, Future
Eu falo, falei, vou falar Português.
Você fala, falou, vai falar Português.
Ele fala, falou, vai falar Português.
A little bit more lifting and encouraging, right?

"– My language problems is finished!"
