Regular verbs have a invariable radical (falar - to speak) and are easy to memorize. Each conjugation follows a different, but a regular pattern.

-ar present tense regular verbs

All regular verbs ending in -ar are conjugated the same way. The conjugation is dependent on the subject that the verb is in reference to. Here is an example conjugation for the verb falar:

You (s,inf) speak	Tu fal	as
He speaks (also ela, você)	Ele fal	a
We speak	Nós fal	amos
You (p) speak	Vós fal	ais

We eat	Nós com	emos
You (p) eat	Vós com	eis
They eat (also elas, vocês)	Eles com	em

-ir present tense regular verbs
