Description

Hello and welcome to this Quick Guide course on Portuguese verbs.

This guide is perfect for students who need help learning about Portuguese verbs.

In any language, verbs are the backbone to sentences. Without verbs there would be no sentences. The good thing about verbs is that you can manipulate them and use them to express anything you like. Look at these sentences, for example:

I learn Portuguese

I’m learning Portuguese

I’m going to learn Portuguese

I have learnt Portuguese

I want to learn Portuguese

All these sentences contain pretty much the same words, “I”, “learn” and “Portuguese”, but they mean different things because we’ve manipulated the verb “learn” into different tenses.

In this course, you'll get an introduction to using and recognising Portuguese verbs in the following areas:


  • infinitives

  • the impersonal verb "pode-se"

  • the "going" future

  • the present perfect tense

  • the present tense

Both European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are covered in this course - if there are any differences in vocabulary or pronunciation, I explain these in full.

"Portuguese Grammar - Quick Guide - Verbs 1" is particularly useful for complete beginners in Portuguese grammar as everything is explained assuming no prior knowledge. The vocabulary used is limited so as to avoid over-complication. Each tense is explained, showing how to form the tense, how to negate it, and how to translate it to and from English.

Each tense starts with a simple explanation followed by lots of practise sentences to build confidence and proficiency.

I hope you enjoy :-)

Obrigado

Kieran

Twenty verbs is a pretty large chunk for beginners. Too much time to recall the correct verb for the new sentence, and not enough time to repeat that new sentence in Portugues.

I rated the course only 4 and not 5 because on the one hand the course is excellent. The tutoring is superb. It's very clear and comprehendible to any person enculiding those who are less linguistics inclined. Nonetheless, though the course is long it's too repetitive and somewhat attritive - the more one listens the more one finds himself glancing quickly at parts of a lesson and advancing while skipping parts which were more of the same. I think the course would be more effective if it were cut by half or had twice the material it had.

A very methodically good way to learn verb conjugation, though it was a bit repetitive with the purpose of remembering! You do have to do the work.

For me it was a very good way to learn and practice the "going" future, past and present tenses. Thanks, Kieran!

I should have put 1 stars, because it's unfair to make an addiction with your lessons! :) Language courses that Kieran makes are awesome! For this course there's in 4n lesson not sync video and audio starting from almost the beginning and lasting till the end, it's worth fixing.
