Brazilian Portuguese Grammar

Unstressed pronouns come within verbs (mesóclise) when the verb is conjugated in the futuro do presente do indicativo or in the futuro do pretérito do indicativo, and there's no reason to use próclise. However, the question is:

How to place a pronoun within a verb?

Instructions:

1. Break the verb apart into two pieces, right after the r;

2. Leave out the r and put an acute accent over a (á), a circumflex over e (ê) and no graphic marks over i;

3. Now insert the object pronoun, but pronouns o, a, os , as turn into lo, la, los, las;

4. Join all the pieces with hyphens.

cantá ei

cantá lo ei

cantá-lo-ei

cantaria

cantar ia

cantá ia

cantá lo ia

cantá-lo-ia

beberá

beber á

bebe á

bebe la á

bebê-la-á

beberiam

beber iam

bebe iam

bebe los iam

bebê-los-iam

dividireis

dividir eis

dividi eis

dividi las eis

dividi-las-eis

dividiríamos

dividir íamos

dividi íamos

dividi lo íamos

dividi-lo-íamos

Do the same thing with the other atonic pronouns (me, te, lhe, nos, vos, lhes), but the r remains (skip Step 3):

Verb	Step 1	Step 3	Step 4
amaria	amar ia	amar te ia	amar-te-ia
pagarei	pagar ei	pagar lhe ei	pagar-lhe-ei
beijaríeis	beijar íeis	beijar me íeis	beijar-me-íeis
contariam	contar iam	contar nos iam	constar-nos-iam
amará	amar á	amar vos á	amar-vos-ás
pediríamos	pedir íamos	pedir lhes íamos	pedir-lhes-íamos

This type of object placement is restricted to literary Brazilian Portuguese, but it seems to be common in European Portuguese speech. Whenever possible, prefer to use próclise or ênclise, especially in spoken Brazilian Portuguese.
