Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'put up with' to describe enduring something unpleasant without complaining, even when you don't like it.

  • Always keep 'put', 'up', and 'with' together; never split them with an object.
  • Follow 'with' with a noun or a gerund (-ing form), never a base verb.
  • Use it for people, situations, or behaviors that are annoying but unavoidable.

Overview

### Overview
No inglês, o phrasal verb put up with é uma ferramenta indispensável para quem busca a fluência no nível C1. Ele expressa a ideia de tolerar, aguentar ou suportar algo ou alguém que nos causa incômodo, irritação ou desconforto. Em português, temos verbos como tolerar, aguentar, suportar ou engolir (no sentido figurado), mas o put up with traz uma nuance específica: ele implica uma resiliência forçada ou uma escolha estratégica de suportar uma situação porque, naquele momento, não há outra alternativa ou porque o custo de mudar seria maior do que o custo de aguentar.
Para nós, brasileiros, essa estrutura é interessante porque, embora o português seja uma língua SVO (Sujeito-Verbo-Objeto) assim como o inglês, a forma como construímos essas ideias de aguentar é muitas vezes feita com verbos simples. O put up with é um phrasal verb de três partes, o que o torna um pouco mais complexo. Ele não é apenas sobre a ação de colocar (put), mas sobre a combinação de up (que muitas vezes denota conclusão ou confronto) e with (associação).
Quando você diz
I have to put up with this traffic
, você está comunicando que está ativamente exercendo paciência diante de um caos que você não controla. É um termo que você usaria no seu dia a dia, seja reclamando com um colega de trabalho sobre um prazo apertado ou desabafando com um amigo no bar sobre um vizinho barulhento. Dominar esse termo é sair do básico "I don't like it" para um inglês muito mais natural e idiomático.
### How This Grammar Works
O put up with funciona como uma unidade semântica única. Gramaticalmente, ele é classificado como um *transitive phrasal verb* (verbo frasal transitivo) inseparável. Isso significa que, diferentemente de phrasal verbs como turn off (que permite turn the light off ou turn off the light), o put up with não permite que o objeto seja inserido entre o put e o with.
O bloco é fixo: [verbo] + [partícula] + [preposição].
Em português, quando dizemos eu aguento ele, o objeto ele vem logo após o verbo. Em inglês, o objeto deve vir obrigatoriamente após a preposição with. A estrutura é: I can't put up with his behavior.
Se você tentar dizer I can't put his behavior up with, você soará como um falante de nível iniciante ou cometerá um erro de sintaxe grave. A palavra put aqui perde seu significado literal de colocar e ganha esse sentido abstrato de suportar.
Vale notar que, em português, muitas vezes usamos o verbo aguentar de forma absoluta (
Eu não aguento mais!
). Em inglês, com o put up with, você quase sempre precisará de um objeto, a menos que use um pronome como it ou this para referenciar a situação. Por exemplo: "I can't put up with it anymore".
O it aqui é o objeto necessário para completar o sentido da frase. Essa necessidade de um objeto é uma característica fundamental da transitividade desse verbo no inglês.
### Formation Pattern
A estrutura básica segue o padrão: Sujeito + put (conjugado) + up with + Objeto. O verbo put é irregular, o que facilita nossa vida, pois ele permanece put tanto no presente quanto no passado simples e no particípio. A única atenção especial é para a terceira pessoa do singular (he/she/it), onde usamos puts.
| Tense | Estrutura | Exemplo |
|---|---|---|
| Present Simple | S + put(s) + up with + O | I put up with his jokes. |
| Past Simple | S + put + up with + O | She put up with the noise. |
| Present Continuous | S + am/is/are + putting + up with + O | They are putting up with it. |
| Present Perfect | S + have/has + put + up with + O | We have put up with this for years. |
O objeto pode ser um substantivo (the traffic), um pronome (him, it) ou um gerúndio (waiting in line). Exemplo:
I hate putting up with waiting in line at the bank
. Note que o gerúndio funciona como o núcleo do objeto.
### When To Use It
Você deve usar put up with em situações de resistência passiva.
  1. 1Irritações recorrentes: Quando algo acontece sempre e você não pode mudar. Exemplo:
    I have to put up with the slow internet at my office every single day.
  2. 2Comportamento de terceiros: Quando alguém tem uma atitude chata e você precisa conviver com isso. Exemplo:
    How can you put up with his arrogance?
  3. 3Condições desfavoráveis: Quando você está em uma situação difícil por necessidade. Exemplo:
    We put up with the cold because we love the mountains.
É importante notar que, se você tiver a opção de mudar a situação facilmente, talvez put up with não seja a melhor escolha. Ele carrega uma conotação de
não tenho outra opção no momento
. Se você decide aceitar algo por escolha própria e sem sofrimento, use tolerate ou accept.
### Common Mistakes
  1. 1Separar o verbo: O erro mais comum é tentar colocar o objeto no meio. "I can't put this noise up with". Isso ocorre porque o falante de português tenta aplicar a regra de verbos transitivos simples. Em inglês, como o put up with é uma unidade fixada, o objeto deve vir sempre após o with.
  2. 2Confundir com put up: Muitos brasileiros confundem put up with (tolerar) com put up (hospedar). Se você disser
    I put up my friend
    , você está dizendo que hospedou seu amigo. Se disser
    I put up with my friend
    , você está dizendo que teve que aguentar a presença dele. A confusão vem da tradução literal de colocar, ignorando que o with altera completamente o sentido.
  3. 3Omissão do objeto: Em português, dizemos
    Eu não aguento mais!
    . Em inglês, dizer "I can't put up with anymore!
    está incorreto. Você precisa do objeto:
    I can't put up with it anymore!". A interferência da língua materna, que permite o elipse do objeto, faz com que o brasileiro esqueça de incluir o pronome it ou this.
### Contrast With Similar Patterns
| Expressão | Significado | Nuance |
|---|---|---|
| Put up with | Tolerar/Aguentar | Foco na resiliência e falta de escolha. |
| Tolerate | Tolerar | Mais formal, menos emocional. |
| Stand | Aguentar | Foco na incapacidade de suportar (geralmente negativo). |
| Bear | Suportar | Mais literário, usado para dores ou fardos pesados. |
Enquanto put up with é comum no dia a dia, bear é usado em contextos como
I cannot bear the pain
. Stand é muito comum em frases como "I can't stand him", que é mais forte e enfático que put up with.
### Quick FAQ

I simply cannot put up with this anymore.

O Contexto é Rei!

Sempre, sempre considere o contexto! 'Put up with' implica fortemente tolerar algo desagradável. Usar isso para uma situação positiva vai soar super sarcástico ou simplesmente errado! Por exemplo, não diria:
I put up with this delicious cake.
⚠️

Não Separe!

Esse é um phrasal verb inseparável, viu? Nunca coloque o objeto entre 'put' e 'up with'. É sempre 'put up with something/someone', nunca 'put something up with'. Esse é um erro crucial para evitar! Por exemplo, "I can't put up with his noise, e não I can't put his noise up with."
🎯

Abrace o 'Porquê'!

Quando você usa 'put up with', muitas vezes está comunicando sutilmente *por que* você tolera algo. É pela paz? Por um emprego? Por amor? Essa nuance adiciona profundidade e autenticidade à sua comunicação em inglês. Pense em:
I put up with his jokes for the sake of peace.
🌍

Nuances Britânicas vs. Americanas

Embora seja amplamente compreendido em ambos, 'put up with' pode parecer um pouco mais comum no inglês britânico. Americanos às vezes tendem a usar 'deal with' para problemas que exigem ação, mas 'put up with' ainda é perfeitamente natural para mera resistência em ambos os dialetos.
I have to put up with the rain
funciona em ambos.
💡

Gerúndios são Seus Amigos

Lembre-se que você pode usar um verbo com -ing (gerúndio) depois de 'put up with' para descrever uma ação que você está tolerando. Isso expande bastante suas opções de uso! Por exemplo: "I can't put up with waiting any longer."

Smart Tips

Replace 'I don't like' with 'I can't put up with'. It sounds more specific and idiomatic.

I don't like the noise from the street. → I can't put up with the noise from the street anymore.

Always check for the -ing. If you say 'put up with to...', it's a major giveaway that you're translating from your native language.

I put up with to work late. → I put up with working late.

Use 'put up with' to describe your resilience, but follow it with a positive result.

I tolerate stress. → I'm used to putting up with high-pressure situations to get the job done.

Consider switching 'put up with' back to 'tolerate' or 'endure' for a more academic tone.

The government put up with the protest. → The government tolerated the protest.

Perguntas frequentes (8)

No, 'put up with' is a transitive verb, meaning it always needs an object. You must put up with *something* or *someone*. If the object is obvious, use 'it' (e.g., 'I can't put up with it').

It is neutral. It is perfectly acceptable in business meetings, emails, and casual conversation. 'Tolerate' is more formal/academic.

'Bear' is more formal and often used for heavy emotional suffering (e.g., 'I can't bear the pain'). 'Put up with' is for everyday annoyances.

No. Unlike some phrasal verbs, three-part phrasal verbs are always inseparable. The object must come after 'with'.

Quite the opposite! It implies you *don't* like it, but you are choosing (or forced) to accept it without complaining.

No, it is only used for unpleasant or annoying things. You wouldn't say 'I put up with this delicious cake'.

The meaning and grammar are identical in both dialects. It is a very stable idiom across the English-speaking world.

It is 'put up with'. The verb 'put' does not change in the past tense (e.g., 'Yesterday, I put up with his nonsense').
