Portuguese conjugation
Grammatical forms of verbs in the Portuguese language / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portuguese verbs display a high degree of inflection. A typical regular verb has over fifty different forms, expressing up to six different grammatical tenses and three moods. Two forms are peculiar to Portuguese within the Romance languages:
- The personal infinitive, a non-finite form which does not show tense, but is inflected for person and number.
- The future subjunctive, is sometimes archaic in some dialects (including peninsular) of related languages such as Spanish, but still active in Portuguese.
It has also several verbal periphrases.
