Default CONJUGATION OF SOME IRREGULAR VERBS part 1

Hi.. this time I`d like to show you some irregular verbs in the present tense in Portuguese. Remember the last time we talked about verbs (regular ones), there was a kind of "formula"to apply on them. The irregular ones things change. Let`s see some of them:

AR - DAR: (to give)
eu dou
tu dás
ele/a dá
nós damos
vós dais
eles/as dão

ER - VER (to see)
eu vejo
tu vês
ele/a vê
nós vemos
vós vedes
eles/as vêem

IR -IR : (to go)
eu vou
tu vais
ele/a vai
nós vamos
vós ides
eles/as vão

The irregular endings AR, ER, IR are not the same most of the times as you can notice:


AR - ESTAR (to be - as state of being= I am here ..)
eu estou
tu estás
ele/a está
nós estamos
vós estais
eles/as estão

ER[/color] - SER (to be - like: I am Brazilian)

eu sou
tu és
ele/a é
nós somos
vós sois
eles/as são

IR - PEDIR (to ask - as "ask a favor")
eu peço
tu pedes
ele/a pede
nós pedimos
vós pedis
eles/as pedem

Remember in Brazil we generally take the " TU and ELE " as the same conjugation
