Hi
hi
Olá! Thanks for another great shortie.
I have a question regarding the verb tense used in the below sentence from Tatiana:
Porque é que eu devia fazer isso?
Could you please explain why ‘devia’ is used instead of ‘devo’?
Many Thanks
Olá! In this context, ‘devia’ is not actually the imperfect tense – it stands in for the conditional ‘deveria’ (an idiomatic quirk that is discussed here: The Conditional | Practice Portuguese). Both the conditional (expressed as ‘deveria’ or ‘devia’) and the indicative moods (‘devo’) are possible here with no practical difference between them 🙂
Just careless use of tenses?
