Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)

Learn the default word order and memorize a handful of high‑frequency sentence patterns.

Default word order

Portuguese is mostly SVO. Pronoun placement varies (especially in European Portuguese).

  • Start with short sentences and keep the pattern consistent.
  • Copy a native pattern, then swap one word at a time.

Não entendo.
I don't understand.
