Learning the basics of regular verb conjugation will help you create dialogues more easily and boost your confidence when speaking Portuguese. But don’t worry — there are simple and effective methods to learn quickly.

📌 Don’t forget that:

-In European Portuguese, the pronoun “tu” is used more often.
-In Brazilian Portuguese, the pronoun “você” is used predominantly.

So, when conjugating verbs with “você”, you can use the endings of the third person singular.

✍️ Present tense endings of regular verbs: 

1) For -AR verbs, the endings are:
-o, -as, -a, -amos, -am

2) For -ER verbs, the endings are:
-o, -es, -e, -emos, -em

3) For -IR verbs, the endings are:
-o, -es, -e, -imos, -em

These endings correspond to the pronouns:
I, you (tu), he/she/você, we, they


✅ Tips to memorize the endings: 

If you learn these sequences, you’ll be able to conjugate almost all regular verbs in the present indicative.
