These videos lessons will teach you the basics of Brazilian Portuguese verb conjugation.
By using "Brazilian verb", I mean that the emphasis on these classes is to teach how Brazilians conjugate, as opposed to the European Portuguese conjugation. I will be posting an European Portuguese version soon.
Enjoy!
On this video lesson by Bom Dia Net you will learn the important Portuguese verb ser.
Following this tutorial you can read my own explanation on this verb.
Summing up...
The Portuguese verb SER can be translated to English as TO BE. Examples:
1 - Eu sou Maria. (I am Maria)
2 - Você é Pedro. (You are Pedro)
3 - Ele é João. (He is João)
4 - Ela é Teresa. (She is Teresa)
5 - Nós somos turistas. (We are tourists)
6 - Vocês são estudantes. (You are tourists - plural)
- Eles são americanos. (They are American - "they" here refers to two guys.)
- Elas são americanas. (They are American - "they" here refers to two women.)
The verb SER always answers the question WHO. Examples:
QUESTION: Quem é você? (Who are you?)
ANSWER: Eu sou Patricia. (I am Patricia.)
QUESTION: Quem é ele? (Who is he?)
ANSWER: Ele é meu professor. (He is my teacher.)
QUESTION: Quem é ela? (Who is she?)
ANSWER: Ela é minha amiga. (She is my friend.)
QUESTION:Quem são vocês? (Who are you? - refering to two or more people.)
Professor Jason gives us an excellent lesson on the subject pronouns (I, he, she…) in Portuguese together with the conjugation of the Portuguese verbs ending in “-ar”.
On this next video, you will learn how to conjugate Portuguese verbs ending in "-er" and "-ir".
Professor Jason doesn't go much into details but if this is the first time you are faced with this subject, these videos will serve as a smooth introduction to Portuguese verbs conjugation.

Here are three videos by Kurtis and Marcos teaching you the basics of Portuguese grammar and verbs.
Although these videos go over the same subject matter as the ones by Professor Jason, check out their way of presenting the material; they have a pretty laid-back approach to teaching it and I like it pretty much.
Hope you enjoy the work done by these two guys.
