We have seen the irregular forms of the verb TER in an earlier Unidade. Remember, although the third-person singular and plural look slightly different, they are pronounced the same in Brazilian Portuguese.

Here, we will talk about age using the verb TER.

ter (to have)
eu tenho nós temos
tu tens a gente tem
ele/ela/você  tem eles/elas/vocês têm

Talking about possession with TER

We use the verb TER to talk about what people have.

Examples

  • Maria tem uma aula de psicologia às duas horas da tarde. (Maria has a psychology class at 2 p.m.)
  • Quantos lápis você tem na sua mochila? (How many pencils do you have in your backpack?)
  • Eles têm dois gatos e um cachorro em casa. (They have two cats and a dog at home.)
  • Não tenho tempo para jogar futebol esta tarde. (I don’t have time to play soccer this afternoon.)
  • Você e eu temos dinheiro suficiente para ir ao cinema. (You and I have enough money to go to the movies.)

Talking about age with TER

The most common way of expressing age in Portuguese is to use the verb TER and the number of years.

Examples

  • Quantos anos você tem? (How old are you?)
  • Tenho 22 anos. (I am 22 years old.)
  • Tenho treze anos. (I’m 13.)
  • Quantos anos ela tem? (How old is she?)
  • Meus avós têm oitenta e sete anos. (My grandparents are 87.)

Note for Spanish speakers: In Unidade 3, Parte A, we use idiomatic expressions with the verb ESTAR, i.e., “Estou com medo.” Other Romance languages, like Spanish, French, and Italian, use the verb meaning “to have” in these expressions.

Portuguese does allow expressions like “Tenho medo,” but there is a difference in meaning. Using TER implies more of a long-term or permanent state. If I am frequently afraid/scared, I could say, “Tenho medo.” However, since we are discussing how we feel currently in this Unidade, it is best to stick with “Estou com medo.”


Using TER to talk about obligation

If we want to express that someone has to do something, we use the verb TER with either DE or QUE plus a verb in the infinitve. Although both DE and QUE are possible, the use of DE is more common.

Examples

  • Eles têm de pedir carona. (They have to ask for a ride.)
  • Você tem de dormir mais. (You have to sleep more.)

Os verbos PODER e QUERER

Gramática—Os verbos PODER e QUERER. Authored by: Craig stokes. License: CC BY: Attribution

 

In this Unidade, we introduce the verb PODER (to be able to). Here is a refresher on the conjugation.

Poder (to be able to)
eu posso nós podemos
tu podes a gente pode
ele/ela/você pode eles/elas/vocês podem

 

Please recognize that PODER is a stem-changing verb like GOSTAR. The -o- in all forms except “podemos” is open. This distinction is vital in the third-person singular “pode” because the past tense form is similar, “pôde.”

The only distinction between present and past in speech is the open or closed -o.

Concerning usage, we use this verb to talk about what we are able to do, not what we know how to do. If we want to talk about what we know how to do, we use the verb SABER, which we will see in Unidade 4, Parte A.

Example:

  • Eu posso andar de bicicleta. (I am able to ride a bike.) In this case, I have a bike available.
  • Eu sei andar de bicicleta. (I know how to ride a bike.) I this case, I have learned how to ride a bike.

 

Another useful verb is the Portuguese verb for “to want.” We always want something or to to something.

Querer (to want)
eu quero nós queremos
tu queres a gente quer
ele/ela/você quer eles/elas/vocês querem

 

Like PODER, QUERER is also a stem-changing verb, but the theme vowel is -e- instead of -o. Therefore, the -e- in all forms except “queremos” is open.

With the addition of TER DE, PODER and QUERER and the verbs GOSTAR and IR from previous Unidades, we can express obligation, possibilities, desires, likes, and future plans. Look at the following examples.

Examples

  • Eu tenho de estudar. (I have to study.)
  • Eu posso estudar. (I am able to study.)
  • Eu quero estudar. (I want to study.)
  • Eu gosto de estudar. (I like to study.)
  • Eu vou estudar. (I am going to study.)
