Continuing with verbs...
I forgot to add a little more about verbs. In Montreiano, the verbal
system is probably the least innovative feature of Montreiano. Only some
minor sound changes differentiate forms from either Spanish or Portuguese
(such as the infinitive form, as well as the 2sg. preterite forms). This
and the previous talk about the simple tenses. The compound tenses (auel
(from habere) + verb) are to follow.
Present Subjunctive - Presént Deu Subjuntiuo
al el il
1sg. ame coma viua
2sg. ames comas viuas
3sg. ame coma viua
1pl. amemos comamos viuamos
2pl. ameis comais viuais
3pl. amen coman viuan
First Imperfect Subjunctuve - Imperfecto Primairo Deu Subjuntiuo
al el il
1sg. amase comese viuise
2sg. amases comeses viuises
3sg. amase comese viuise
1pl. amásemos comesemos viuisemos
2pl. amaseis comeseis viuiseis
3pl. amasen comesen viuisen
Second Imperfect Subjunctive - Imperfecto Segundo Deu Subjuntiuo
Again, these forms were frozen into their forms before the sound shift of
final r-l
al el il
1sg. amara comera viuira
2sg. amaras comeras viuiras
3sg. amara comera viuira
1pl. amáramos coméramos viuíramos
2pl. amarais comerais viuirais
3pl. amaran comeran viuiran
Future Subjunctive - Futuro Deu Subjuntiuo
Because of influence of Portuguese, and Gallician settlers, these forms
ended up much like the Portuguese forms,where before they resembled the
Spanish forms.
al el il
1sg. amar comer viuir
2sg. amars comers viuirs
3sg. amar comer viuir
1pl. amáremos coméremos viuíremos
2pl. amareis comereis viuireis
3pl. amaren comeren viuiren
Imperfect Conditional - Condiçonau Imperfecto
al el il
1sg. amaría comería viuiría
2sg. amarías comerías viuirías
3sg. amaría comería viuiría
1pl. amaríamos comeríamos viueríamos
2pl. amaríais comeríais viuiríais
3pl. amarían comerían viuirían
Imperative - Imperatiuo.
al el il
1sg. - - -
2sg. ama! come! viue!
3sg. ame! coma! viua!
1pl. amemos! comamos! viuamos!
2pl. ama! come! viue!
3pl. amen! coman! viuan!
Negative Forms of the Imperative - Formas Negatiuas Deu Imperatiuo.
As in Portuguese and Spanish, these come fromthe Present Subjunctive
forms.
al el il
1sg. - - -
2sg. No ames! No comas! No viuas!
3sg. No ame! No coma! No viua!
1pl. No amemos! No comamos! No viuamos!
2pl. No ameis! No comais! No viuais!
3pl. No amen! No coman! No viuan!
Present Participle - Participio Presént
al el il
amando comendo viuindo
Past Paticiple - Participio Pasiuo
al el il
amáo comío viuío
When used as an adjective, these agree in gender and number with the noun:
A spoken language - Una lengua fauláa
The closed harbors - Las pòrtos çerráos
That should be it for the simnple tenses. Stay tuned for the third
installment, the compound tenses (tèmpos compòstos)

Aunque vengas de rodillas
y me implores y me pidas
aunque vengas y me llores
que te absuelva y te perdone
Aunque a mi me causes pena
he tirado tus cadenas
