This lesson combines opinion-giving with two important grammar points for talking about duration and past events.

Desde / Há for duration:

  • Uso redes sociais desde 2015. — I have been using social media since 2015.
  • Uso redes sociais há dez anos. — I have been using social media for ten years.

Desde = since (a specific point in time). Há = for (a duration of time). Both use the present tense in Portuguese when the action is still ongoing.

Pretérito perfeito composto for repeated recent actions:

  • Tenho passado muito tempo no telemóvel. — I have been spending a lot of time on my phone.
  • As redes sociais têm mudado a sociedade. — Social media has been changing society.

This tense is formed with ter (present) + past participle. It emphasises repetition or continuity up to the present — unlike English "have done" which can be a single completed event.

Tip: European Portuguese uses ecrã (screen) and telemóvel (mobile phone), not the Brazilian tela and celular.

वाक्यांश

  • Uso redes sociais desde 2015.Since a specific year
  • Tenho passado horas no ecrã.Repeated recent action
  • As redes têm mudado muito.Ongoing change up to now
  • Há dez anos não existia.Something didn't exist for a time
  • Estou ligado o dia inteiro.Describing being always connected
  • A partilha de dados preocupa-me.Expressing a concern

आम गलतियाँ

  • Eu uso redes sociais desde dez anos.
    Eu uso redes sociais há dez anos.

    Use 'há' for a duration, 'desde' for a specific starting point.

  • Tenho passado muito tempo na tela.
    Tenho passado muito tempo no ecrã.

    European Portuguese uses 'ecrã' not the Brazilian 'tela'.

  • As redes sociais tem mudado.
    As redes sociais têm mudado.

    Third person plural of 'ter' is 'têm' (with circumflex), not 'tem'.

  • Eu sou viciado em redes sociais desde sempre.
    Eu sou viciado em redes sociais há muito tempo.

    'Desde sempre' is too absolute — use 'há muito tempo' for emphasis.

  • A partilha dos dados preocupa-me.
    A partilha de dados preocupa-me.

    Use 'de dados' (generic) not 'dos dados' (specific data).
