the infinitive in Portuguese and can correspond to a person of singular or plural in some circumstances. The personal infinitive (infinitive pessoal ) is used when a sentence has two different subjects, to make clear who does each action: Ele
telefonou to (nós) as Novidades
conhecermos The telephoned for us to know the latest
Eu pedi for eels viremic.
I asked for them to come / I asked them to come. O
customer
teve uns minute wait (nós) Terms muito trabalho.
The customer had to wait a few minutes to have our hard work.
Its use is not necessary, but is optional, when we have a single subject in the sentence is also a specific subject:
For não ter passport, travel puderam não eels não
For Terem passport, eels não puderam travel
By not having a passport, ellos pudieron in travel.
We traveled by bus for not much money.
We traveled by bus for not much money terms.
traveled by the omnibus en tener mucho dinero.
They woke up early to see the dawn.
They woke up early to see dawn. Ellos
despertaron Temprano el amanecer to see.
They waited the weekend to go to the movies.
They waited for the weekend go to the movies. Ellas
esperaron el fin de semana al cine to go. Note
el infinitive personal en estos three verbs, su formación es simple. El siempre infinitive is present, solo debe poner atención a la terminación de la primer y tercer la persona del plural:
Being
I be you / he be
we be we
them / they be in
Being
I be you / he be
we be we
them / they be in
Power
me to you / he can power
we mos
they / them in power
A common mistake is to confuse beginning infinitive pessoal do the future subjunctive. Remember that future subjunctive forms do differently and has other functions (see previous lesson).
see the same three verbs in the subjunctive do future: Be
for
você eu / ele for
nós eels formos
/ elas forem
Be
aestivate
você eu / Cell aestivate
estivermos
nós eels / elas estiverem
Power
você puder eu / Ele puder
pudermos
nós eels / elas puderem
