Notes

  • Only use the irregular participles of verbs ganhar, gastar and pagar in modern Brazilian Portuguese;

  • Verb entregar has only two forms: entregue (for the masculine and feminine singular) and entregues (for the masculine and feminine plural);

  • A few verbs only have irregular participles (see below).


 

Verbs that only have irregular participles
Infinitive Irregular participle Basic meaning
dizer dito to say / to tell
escrever escrito to write
fazer feito to do / to make
pôr posto to put
ver visto to see
vir vindo to come
 
  • Since these verbs don't have regular participles, their irregular participles must be used after verbs ter, haver, ser and estar.

 

  • The irregular participle forms and inflections also apply to their compounds, e.g.:

refazer => refeito

desfazer => desfeito

prescrever => prescrito

inscrever => inscrito

compor => composto

dispor => disposto

repor => resposto

depor => deposto

impor => inposto

prever => previsto

rever => revisto

intervir => intervindo
