    • Hang in there! Don’t worry if you don’t understand 100% from the beginning. Even if you are picking up a little bit here and there, it is helping to train your listening skills so that you can improve over time. If you’re just getting started, try out some of these Beginner/Easier level episodes first.

  • Este plano também inclui televisão. what form is inclui ? it looks like first person past tense but doesn’t make sense in the context . Thanks Pierre .

    • Olá! “Inclui” is the third-person singular of the simple present. There is a very similar simple past conjugation, “incluí” (first-person singular), but that one includes an accent on the last I, which is how we differentiate them. The accent also marks the different pronunciation.

  • Sorry to be fussy but I looked up incluir on-line and in my Portuguese grammer and both show inclue as the third person singular present tense. The only place inclui shows is second person plural imperative. Thanks Pierre

    • I reconfirm that “inclue” is not one of the conjugation forms for this verb in Portuguese, although it is a misspelling we might occasionally see. “Inclui” (without accent) is the only correct spelling in the third-person singular in the simple present.
