Most regular Portuguese verbs belong to three families based on their infinitive endings: -AR, -ER, and -IR. While irregulars exist, mastering these three patterns gives you the confidence to handle about 80% of everyday conversation.

Note that the Eu (I) form is the easiest to remember—it almost always ends in -o, regardless of the verb family.

Pro-tip: In Brazil, we rarely use 'Tu' in formal writing, but you'll hear it in the South and North. For now, focus on 'Você' to sound natural in most settings.

Test your muscle memory. Don't overthink the grammar; focus on the ending sounds.

Use this space to create three original sentences. Using verbs that matter to your life makes them much harder to forget.
