Regular -er Verbs
Regular -er verbs follow a predictable pattern in the present tense. Drop the -er from the infinitive to find the stem, then add the ending that matches the subject.
Here is the pattern using the verb beber (to drink):
| Pronoun | Ending | Conjugation |
|---|---|---|
| eu | -o | bebo |
| tu | -es | bebes |
| ele / ela / você | -e | bebe |
| nós | -emos | bebemos |
| eles / elas / vocês | -em | bebem |
| I drink the water. | Eu bebo a água. |
| Don't you drink the milk? | Tu não bebes o leite? |
| Do you drink the juice? | Vocês bebem o sumo? |
The Verb Comer
The verb comer (to eat) follows the exact same pattern as beber.
| He eats the cheese and the bread. | Ele come o queijo e o pão. |
| We do not eat the meat. | Nós não comemos a carne. |
| They eat the fish in the restaurant. | Eles comem o peixe no restaurante. |
Everyday Habits
You will often use these verbs to talk about daily routines. You can add words like hoje (today) or sempre (always) to provide more context, usually placing them right after the verb or at the end of the sentence.
| The girl eats the cake today. | A rapariga come o bolo hoje. |
| I always eat the soup. | Eu como sempre a sopa. |
