Future subjunctive

Take the 3rd person plural preterite, drop -am, and conjugate.

Portuguese uses a future subjunctive for hypothetical future actions — very common after se, quando, enquanto, assim que.

Take the eles form of the pretérito perfeito, drop the -am, then add:

(nothing), -es, (nothing), -mos, -des, -em

falar → falaram → falar- → quando eu falar, quando eles falarem.

Examples

  • "Quando você chegar, me avise."

    When you arrive, let me know.
