But it won't accept translating \"that\" with \"isto\", nor \"this\" with \"aquilo\".  <br />\n</p>\n<p><strong>Indefinite pronouns</strong></p>\n<p>The indefinite pronouns are used to represent something.

So the conjugated form is used in questions and negative sentences too.</p>\n<p>Here are the regular conjugations for \"pret\u00e9rito perfeito\" with the examples \"andar\" (to walk), \"comer\" (to eat) and \"ouvir\" (to hear/listen)      <br />\n</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Infinitive:</th>\n<th>andar</th>\n<th>comer</th>\n<th>ouvir*</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Eu</td>\n<td>and<strong>ei</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>i</strong></td>\n<td>ouv<strong>i</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Tu</em></td>\n<td><em>and<strong><em>aste</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>com<strong><em>este</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>ouv<strong><em>iste</em></strong></em></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ele(a) / Voc\u00ea</td>\n<td>and<strong>ou</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>eu</strong></td>\n<td>ouv<strong>iu</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>N\u00f3s</td>\n<td>and<strong>amos</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>emos</strong></td>\n<td>ouv<strong>imos</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>V\u00f3s</em></td>\n<td><em>and<strong><em>astes</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>com<strong><em>estes</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>ouv<strong><em>istes</em></strong></em></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eles(as) / Voc\u00eas</td>\n<td>and<strong>aram</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>eram</strong></td>\n<td>ouv<strong>iram</strong></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p><code>*</code> - ouvir is regular in this past tense, but it's irregular for the present \"eu ou\u00e7o\".</p>", "num_lexemes": 35, "num_missing": 0, "comment_data": {}, "dependencies": ["Preposition Contractions 4", "Occupations"], "known_lexemes": ["bbd2fddeea4e1fbba4c8688136f3d539", "4b5850622c0370636fca995c3a00b23e", "7c2958af9133bb09d625a581bfe96dc6", "aa880a95679eedc846f0fae920e2a997", "ffb350731f70016c937560e18919f0b7", "a27714fc0cdf8462159b748b71265aa9", "1e8f62f61318e41161530044f68623a4", "12e2bb773298bc36afcd3f3f7e7d6fb9", "13e6e7f099fbd0c04e5695b5dc4b147a", "b74be378612e1148a6af6dde1b2137bf", "96f5ae032235488fdf5dc3948724622c", "57dd7498ef99bf886384bc532ee15672", "35d86c9e93d0c8cea05501fe1e983bca", "693fc8d2f4773bd51335fecf7d6fabec", "d48f00ac217b7f1f0ec923c696654f2d", "91a5071579582202123e162921712a14", "a318f67aabae80476948cd144a33db4d", "9411c14227976e814c749377bbdd99df", "d3857ef6fceba0748a3e4584e9406586", "6e5338b0a54af862fd88713a90e9ed70", "ce37592e4a24bcc2ea86550de668a26a", "bd42b87aa9fb88a259da5f426a4cd6cd", "d7678352f19399cac20490a031021048", "9b7b25b15a2dc4bde0728c2e24fba53d", "a087a793ae1164fa03ec2c4802d1fd41", "4ae285111377c7f67e1e76f0077bd669", "10b5f1cb66c8f05e660addc58b628cbd", "c6fffb1dbe1265c2f3bb9be36de9c07a", "e44f3f20553dc6b97334e3c7cc574ced", "846ec603e511044295da5f4bb3cef890", "9bf373af916b16c15a9f944862578f48", "3d6e913c9df0b907051077498b82f6f4", "e4ce3a447268dea3cc0c3a6f31c5e492", "5e8f43b40885d2e220699a31e55780bb", "787048fe61874fe5207a89446389d6ef"], "words": ["comi", "beberam", "fomos", "falou", "gostou", "choveu", "ontem", "tocaste", "ouvistes", "viste"], "num_sessions_for_level": 60, "path": [], "num_levels": 5, "learned_ts": 1560018196, "short": "Pret.

(Ele se cortou = He cut himself / Eu me vi no espelho = I saw myself in the mirror / Tu te cortaste = you have cut yourself)</p>\n<p><strong>With prep.</strong> - These are also indirect objects, but the preposition is needed together with the pronoun.

(this differs from the indicative \"was\", but other verbs would seem just like the simple past)    <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Here, we are going to see the <strong>present subjunctive</strong>, which can be found in sentences such as:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>I suggest that he go = Eu sugiro que ele v\u00e1    <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>The present subjunctive</h3>\n<p>Portuguese uses the present subjunctive in much more cases than English.   <br />\n</p>\n<p>Typical usages of the subjunctive come after certain verbs that express a \"possible\" result, but not necessarily certain, and also after some conditional keywords.    <br />\nMostly, if other keywords are not present, the present subjunctive conjugations will come after \"que\". You will also notice that conjugation tables for this tense shows conjugations preceded by \"que\".    <br />\n</p>\n<p>.   <br />\n<strong>Some verbs asking for the subjunctive</strong></p>\n<p>Examples of verbs expressing \"hope/doubt\"</p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Espero</em> <strong>que voc\u00ea esteja</strong> bem = I hope you are fine    <br />\n</li>\n<li><em>Duvido</em> <strong>que seja</strong> verdade = I doubt it's true    <br />\n</li>\n<li>N\u00e3o <em>creio</em> <strong>que seja</strong> poss\u00edvel = I don't believe/think it's possible   <br />\n</li>\n<li><em>Acredito</em> <strong>que</strong> as coisas <strong>v\u00e3o</strong> melhorar = I believe things will get better   <br />\n</li>\n<li>Ela <em>deseja</em> <strong>que</strong> tudo <strong>acabe</strong> bem = She hopes everything ends well.    <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Sometimes, the subjunctive mood is also used for commands/suggestions when these commands are given through another verb. In some of these cases, English behaves the same way:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Queremos</em> <strong>que ela fique</strong> por mais tempo = We want her to stay for longer    <br />\n</li>\n<li><em>Ordeno</em> <strong>que</strong> os prisioneiros <strong>sejam</strong> libertados = I command <strong>that</strong> the prisoners <strong>be</strong> freed      <br />\n</li>\n<li>Eles <em>pedem</em> <strong>que tiremos</strong> os sapatos antes de entrar = They ask <strong>that we take off</strong> our shoes before entering      <br />\n</li>\n<li><em>Sugiro</em> <strong>que eles esperem</strong> a tempestade passar = I suggest <strong>that they wait</strong> for the storm to pass   <br />\n</li>\n<li>Eu <em>insisto</em> <strong>que voc\u00ea prove</strong> um peda\u00e7o do bolo = I insist <strong>that you try</strong> a piece of the cake   <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Because of this, and also because conjugations are the same, many people confuse subjunctive and imperative moods.      <br />\n</p>\n<p>.  <br />\n<strong>Keywords asking for the subjunctive</strong></p>\n<p>In many cases, these keywords are either conditional keywords or words that state something that has effect onto the present, or that talks about an expected result:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Caso seja</strong> verdade, ent\u00e3o devemos nos preocupar = In case it's true, then we should worry    <br />\n</li>\n<li><strong>Embora sejamos</strong> grandes, n\u00e3o podemos alcan\u00e7ar o c\u00e9u = Although we are big, we can't reach the sky    <br />\n</li>\n<li>Farei isto, <strong>mesmo que</strong> ele n\u00e3o <strong>concorde</strong> = I'll do this, even if he doesn't agree.   <br />\n</li>\n<li><strong>Ainda que eu queira</strong>, n\u00e3o posso = Even if I want to, I can't.   <br />\n</li>\n<li>Acharei voc\u00ea, <strong>nem que eu precise</strong> ir at\u00e9 o fim do mundo = I'll find you, even if I need to go to the ends of the earth    <br />\n</li>\n<li>Tome o rem\u00e9dio <strong>para que melhore</strong> = Take your medicine so that you get better     <br />\n</li>\n<li>Fa\u00e7a tudo <strong>de modo que n\u00e3o deixe</strong> nenhum vest\u00edgio = Do everything in a way that doesn't leave any trace.   <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n<hr />\n<h3>Present subjunctive conjugations</h3>\n<p><strong>Regular conjugations</strong></p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Infinitive:</th>\n<th>Amar</th>\n<th>Comer</th>\n<th>Abrir</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>que eu</td>\n<td>am<strong>e</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>a</strong></td>\n<td>abr<strong>a</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>que tu</em></td>\n<td><em>am<strong><em>es</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>com<strong><em>as</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>abr<strong><em>as</em></strong></em></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>que ele</td>\n<td>am<strong>e</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>a</strong></td>\n<td>abr<strong>a</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>que n\u00f3s</td>\n<td>am<strong>emos</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>amos</strong></td>\n<td>abr<strong>amos</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>que v\u00f3s</em></td>\n<td><em>am<strong><em>eis</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>com<strong><em>ais</em></strong></em></td>\n<td><em>abr<strong><em>ais</em></strong></em></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>que eles</td>\n<td>am<strong>em</strong></td>\n<td>com<strong>am</strong></td>\n<td>abr<strong>am</strong></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p><strong>Irregular \"ser\", \"estar\" and \"ver\"</strong></p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Infinitive:</th>\n<th>Ser</th>\n<th>Estar</th>\n<th>Ver</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>que eu</td>\n<td>seja</td>\n<td>esteja</td>\n<td>veja</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>que tu</em></td>\n<td>sejas</td>\n<td>estejas</td>\n<td>vejas</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>que ele</td>\n<td>seja</td>\n<td>esteja</td>\n<td>veja</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>que n\u00f3s</td>\n<td>sejamos</td>\n<td>estejamos</td>\n<td>vejamos</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>que v\u00f3s</em></td>\n<td>sejais</td>\n<td>estejais</td>\n<td>vejais</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>que eles</td>\n<td>sejam</td>\n<td>estejam</td>\n<td>vejam</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<hr />\n<p>As you may have noticed or read, all these conjugations are identical to the negative imperative conjugations.

The first two, talks about the hypothetical results in the past while the third one talks about the hypothetical result in present.   <br />\n</p>\n<p>As the other \"futuro do pret\u00e9rito\" conditionals, there is also the informal possibility of using the imperfect past in the main clause:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Se eu tivesse chegado mais cedo, ela n\u00e3o <strong>tinha</strong> ficado brava  <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>.   <br />\n<strong>Some verbs asking for the subjunctive</strong></p>\n<p>Examples of verbs expressing \"hope/doubt/belief\" in past:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eu <em>achei</em> <strong>que voc\u00ea tivesse voltado</strong> = I thought you had come back.  <br />\n</li>\n<li><em>Duvidei</em> <strong>que ela tivesse ficado</strong> = I doubted that she had stayed   <br />\n</li>\n<li>Ele <em>queria</em> <strong>que</strong> o Brasil <strong>tivesse sido</strong> campe\u00e3o = He wishes Brazil had been the champion <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p><code>*</code> - The use of \"queria\" is very common meaning \"would like\" or \"wish\", although it literally means \"wanted\".        <br />\n</p>\n<p>.  <br />\n<strong>Keywords asking for the subjunctive</strong></p>\n<p>Here too, some keywords will ask for the past subjunctive just like they do in present tense.

Depending on the following word, it can have some of these most common meanings:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Made of: <ul>\n<li>uma mesa <strong>de madeira</strong> = A <strong>wooden</strong> table  <br />\n</li>\n<li>suco <strong>de uva</strong> = <strong>grape</strong> juice  <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Of (containing): <ul>\n<li>um copo <strong>de \u00e1gua</strong> = a glass <strong>of water</strong>    <br />\n</li>\n<li>um prato <strong>de arroz</strong> = a plate <strong>of rice</strong>     <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>From:  <br />\n<ul>\n<li>Eu sou <strong>de Portugal</strong> = I am <strong>from Portugal</strong>  <br />\n</li>\n<li>Leite <strong>de vaca</strong> = <strong>Cow's</strong> milk <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Possession (only for \"de voc\u00eas\"):<ul>\n<li>A casa <strong>de voc\u00eas</strong> \u00e9 grande = <strong>Your</strong> house is big  <br />\n</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Preposition \"com\":</h3>\n<p>This preposition is fairly easy. Most of the times means \"with\" (meaning: together with, containing, considering, etc.)</p>\n<p>But always keep in mind that expressions, verbs, etc. may use it in different ways. </p>\n<h3>Prepositions demanded by verbs</h3>\n<p>Here, it's important that you don't try to understand the prepositions themselves!

We hope you have fun!</p>", "num_lexemes": 18, "num_missing": 18, "comment_data": {}, "dependencies": [], "known_lexemes": [], "words": ["contra", "a", "que", "se", "de", "na", "n\u00e3o", "macaco", "bem", "tem"], "num_sessions_for_level": 3, "path": [], "num_levels": 1, "short": "Idioms", "locked": false, "name": "IDIOMS", "language": "pt", "new_index": 63, "progress_percent": 0.0, "mastered": false}, {"language_string": "Portuguese", "dependencies_name": [], "practice_recommended": false, "disabled": false, "test_count": 3, "missing_lessons": 2, "skill_progress": {"level": 0}, "lesson": false, "has_explanation": "", "url_title": "Flirting", "icon_color": "purple", "category": "bonus", "num_lessons": 2, "strength": 0.0, "beginner": false, "title": "Flirting", "level_sessions_finished": 0, "coords_y": 1000, "coords_x": 2, "progress_level_session_index": 0, "id": "317d69b2e6b1e1de444db8150370bf66", "levels_finished": 0, "test": false, "lesson_number": 1, "learned": false, "num_translation_nodes": 0, "achievements": [], "description": "", "index": "64", "bonus": true, "explanation": null, "num_lexemes": 16, "num_missing": 16, "comment_data": {}, "dependencies": [], "known_lexemes": [], "words": ["qual", "sou", "vamos", "vem", "\u00e9", "tem", "est\u00e1", "beijo", "n\u00e3o", "eu"], "num_sessions_for_level": 2, "path": [], "num_levels": 1, "short": "Flirting", "locked": false, "name": "FLIRTING", "language": "pt", "new_index": 64, "progress_percent": 0.0, "mastered": false}], "level_points": 3500, "all_time_rank": ["442304915", "383404786", "432319619", "205335798", "496330274"], "max_depth_learned": 27, "points": 20652, "immersion_enabled": false, "points_ranking_data_dict": {"496330274": {"username": "Xane_Bateup", "language_string": "Portuguese", "points_data": {"languages": [], "total": 9024}, "avatar": "//duolingo-images.s3.amazonaws.com/avatars/496330274/v2JESrg_W6", "language": "pt", "fullname": "Xane", "id": 496330274, "self": false}, "442304915": {"username": "Fabio918371", "language_string": "Portuguese", "points_data": {"languages": [], "total": 87653}, "avatar": "//duolingo-images.s3.amazonaws.com/avatars/442304915/gWcdU6DBeW", "language": "pt", "fullname": "Fabio Car\u00e7ola", "id": 442304915, "self": false}, "432319619": {"username": "Dreamingdust", "language_string": "Portuguese", "points_data": {"languages": [], "total": 20752}, "avatar": "//s3.amazonaws.com/duolingo-images/avatar/default_2", "language": "pt", "fullname": "Denis Petrov", "id": 432319619, "self": true}, "383404786": {"username": "RafaelTand1", "language_string": "Portuguese", "points_data": {"languages": [], "total": 69457}, "avatar": "//duolingo-images.s3.amazonaws.com/avatars/383404786/HYjwj0ideK", "language": "pt", "fullname": "Rafael Tandaya", "id": 383404786, "self": false}, "205335798": {"username": "isabel195315", "language_string": "Portuguese", "points_data": {"languages": [], "total": 15298}, "avatar": "//duolingo-images.s3.amazonaws.com/avatars/205335798/RiC9jlsfIp", "language": "pt", "fullname": "isabel", "id": 205335798, "self": false}}, "placement_test": {"attempts": 0}, "exempt_from_health": false, "max_tree_level": 28}}, "num_followers": null, "learning_language_string": "Portuguese", "created": "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 year ago\n\n", "contribution_points": null, "gplus_id": null, "twitter_id": null, "admin": false, "invites_left": null, "location": null, "fullname": "Denis Petrov", "avatar": "//s3.amazonaws.com/duolingo-images/avatar/default_2", "ui_language": "en"}
