Hi guys!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some posts ago, we started running our time tense series on the blog with the aim of getting our readers familiarized with our sometimes tricky grammar and teach you how to conjugate verbs correctly in Portuguese. Today\u2019s topic will be the <\/span><b>futuro do pret\u00e9rito<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which can be translated as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">future of the past<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and is used to indicate a hypothetic situation, a possibility that didn\u2019t happen or won\u2019t happen. Usually, these situations depend on a certain condition and can therefore be expressed by the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">modal verb would<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in English. See:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Se eu tivesse dinheiro suficiente, eu me <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mudaria<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> para Nova Iorque &#8211; If I had enough money, I <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">would move<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to New York.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the sentence above, moving to New York is a hypothetical situation. The person didn\u2019t actually move to New York, and maybe won\u2019t. That depends on the sentence\u2019s subject having enough money. So, the <\/span><b>futuro do pret\u00e9rito <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">generally goes along with a sentence that carries the idea of condition, cause or restraint. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before we give you more examples, let\u2019s first take a look at how to form the <\/span><b>futuro do pret\u00e9rito<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7769\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/11\/1pic-1024x654.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/11\/1pic-1024x654.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/11\/1pic-350x224.png 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/11\/1pic-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/portuguese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2017\/11\/1pic.png 1646w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, we should just add either <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ia, \u00edamos or iam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, according to the personal pronoun in the sentence, at the end of each <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">verb in the infinitive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
