葡萄牙语动名词:进行时态及其他时态

葡萄牙语动名词 (Gerúndio) 用于构建进行时(例如现在进行时),相当于英语现在分词:the -ing 动词形式。

要形成葡萄牙语动名词,您只需替换最后的 -r 带后缀的不定式形式 ndo

不定式动名词
-arpescar (鱼)pescando (钓鱼)
-ercorrer (跑步)correndo (跑步)
-irsair (离开)saindo (离开)

这适用于所有动词,无论它们是规则动词还是不规则动词,或者它们属于哪个动词变化组。

除了进行时之外,我们还使用动名词来表达和阐明复合句和复杂句中的因果关系、渐进性、同时性和顺序关系。 

Now, only Brazilian Portuguese uses the Gerund to form Progressive tenses. In the European standard, Progressive tenses are normally formed differently. Read on.

!葡萄牙语与英语动名词

在英语中,“动名词”的概念与名词相关,而不是动词(I love fishing). Where English uses the -ing 形式作为名词,葡萄牙语使用不定式代替(adoro pescar).

葡萄牙语动名词 – Gerúndio – 对应于英语的“现在分词”,如 I was fishing all day.

进行时:欧洲葡萄牙语与巴西葡萄牙语

进行时(又称连续时)用于表达正在进行的动作。在葡萄牙语中,进行时由助动词构成 Estar 接下来是主要动词。 

在巴西葡萄牙语 (BP) 中,主要动词采用动名词形式,而欧洲标准 (EP) 使用不定式形式,前面带有介词 a

让我用三种进行时来说明这一点:现在进行时、过去进行时和将来进行时。
