Now let`s form some sentences in the Present Tense in Portuguese according to the verbs given here (r= regular and i= irregular ones )

Eg: verbo estar(i),falar (r),ver (i),beber (r), ir (i) , partir(r),passear(i)

Ela está em Marrocos. She is in Morocco
( Nós ) falamos o Português. We speak Portuguese.
Você vê/ (Tu) vês uma casa nas colinas. You see a house in the hills.
Eles bebem muita cerveja!! They drink a lot of beer!!
(Eu) vou à escola todos os dias. I go to school every day.
Elas partem às 7:00 horas . They leave at 7 am. ( like in English – this present is used for the future)
A menina passeia na praia todas às tardes. The girl walks ( goes for a ride) on the beach every afternoon.



*Note it is not important to put the personal pronouns in the sentences most of the times like in English is. In the 1st sentence and the others with no parentheses ( ) : “Ela está em Marrocos”.. if you know in a previous context the person is SHE etc...so you can remove it in this sentence. As you can see, it is just a matter of taking the conjugated verbs give in this forum and apply them to the sentences corresponding to each subject.




Interrogative form- is very simple... you just add the interrogation mark at the end ( ? ) – and raise your voice in the whole sentence but raising the most at the last word ( very soon I can record it ).

So..

ELA ESTÁ EM MARROCOS (affirmative sentence) = ELA ESTÁ EM MARROCOS? (interrogative sentence)
NÓS FALAMOS O PORTUGUÊS... NÓS FALAMOS O PORTUGUÊS ?

Negative form – just add “ NÃO” before the conjugated verb.


ELA NÃO ESTÁ EM MARROCOS

NÓS NÃO FALAMOS O PORTUGUÊS

Now try to do that with the other sentnces given here. Any problem.. ask me ok?
