        Eu (I), tu (you), ele/ela (he/she), n=f3s (we), v=f3s (you),
eles/elas (they).
        V=f3s is not very used, at least here in Brazil, it sounds too
formal. Tu, when used, is often conjugated erroneously in the 3rd person
(again, in Brazil).
        There are the called "treatment pronouns". All of them are
conjugated in the 3rd person, but many are 2nd person pronouns. Ex.:
voc=ea (you), a gente (we), Vossa Magestade (Your Magesty)[sp?], etc.

        1st conjugation: ends in -ar
        2nd conjugation: ends in -er or -or
        3rd conjugation: ends in -ir

        That is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong list.
        I can tell you the tenses:
        - Indicativo
          - Presente
          - Pret=e9rito perfeito
          - Pret=e9rito imperfeito
          - Pret=e9rito mais-que-perfeito
          - Futuro do presente
          - Futuro do pret=e9rito
        - Imperativo
          - Afirmativo
          - Negativo
        - Subjuntivo
          - Presente
          - Pret=e9rito imperfeito
          - Futuro
        - Infinitivo
          - Impessoal
          - Pessoal
        - Partic=edpio
        - Ger=fandio

        Hope this helped.
