Estar a + Infinitive (Present Continuous)
In European Portuguese, the present continuous is formed with estar a + infinitive:
- O avião está a descolar. — The plane is taking off.
- Estou a esperar no portão. — I'm waiting at the gate.
- Eles estão a embarcar. — They are boarding.
Ter de / Ter que + Infinitive (Obligation)
Both express obligation ("have to"):
- Tens de mostrar o passaporte. — You have to show your passport.
- Temos que chegar cedo. — We have to arrive early.
Tip: Ter de is more common in European Portuguese; ter que is more Brazilian.

आम गलतियाँ
Estou esperando no portão.Estou a esperar no portão.European Portuguese uses estar a + infinitive, not estar + gerund
Tenho de mostrar o passaporte.Tens de mostrar o passaporte.Check the subject: tenho = I have, tens = you have — match the verb to the person
O voo foi cancelada.O voo foi cancelado.Voo is masculine — the past participle must agree: cancelado, not cancelada
Onde está o portão?Onde é o portão?For permanent locations use ser (é), not estar — the gate doesn't move
A minha bagagem foram perdidas.A minha bagagem foi perdida.Bagagem is singular (even though it means luggage) — use singular verb and adjective
