Hello, there!<\/p>\n

Last month we had the first post <\/a>of the irregular verbs series and today I will be covering the simple past tense (I had, I did, I worked etc) of the main irregular verbs in Portuguese.<\/p>\n

Make sure you know these conjugations inside and out because they are very important for your fluency. Also remember that the persons for each conjugation are eu, voc\u00ea, ele, n\u00f3s, voc\u00eas and eles; I didn’t include the tu form (only used in some regions in Brazil) and the v\u00f3s form (not used at all!).<\/p>\n

Vamos come\u00e7ar!<\/p>\n
