Portuguese Grammar - Quick Guide - Verbs 1

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 PortugueseI’m learning PortugueseI’m going to learn PortugueseI have learnt PortugueseI want to learn PortugueseAll 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:infinitivesthe impersonal verb "pode-se"the "going" futurethe present perfect tensethe present tenseBoth 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 :-)ObrigadoKieran
