Using infinitive verbs after prepositions Exercises in Portuguese language

Understanding the correct usage of infinitive verbs after prepositions can be a challenging aspect of learning Portuguese, especially for English speakers. Unlike in English, where gerunds (verbs ending in -ing) often follow prepositions, Portuguese typically employs the infinitive form of the verb. This fundamental difference can lead to confusion and errors if not properly mastered. Our grammar exercises are designed to help you grasp this concept by providing clear examples and practical applications, ensuring you can confidently use infinitive verbs in various contexts. In Portuguese, the infinitive form of the verb remains unchanged regardless of the preposition that precedes it. For instance, after prepositions like "para" (for), "de" (of), and "a" (to), the verb will stay in its infinitive form, such as "falar" (to speak), "comer" (to eat), and "partir" (to leave). These exercises will guide you through the nuances of this rule, illustrating how to correctly structure sentences and avoid common pitfalls. By practicing these exercises, you'll develop a more intuitive understanding of Portuguese grammar, enhancing both your written and spoken language skills.
