Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'would like + to + verb' to express desires or make requests more politely than using the word 'want'.

  • Always use 'to' before the second verb: 'I would like to go' (not 'I would like go').
  • Use the contraction ''d' in spoken English: 'I'd like to order' sounds more natural.
  • In questions, swap the subject and 'would': 'Would you like to join us?'
👤 + 💭 (would like) + 🔗 (to) + 🏃 (verb)

Overview

Já entraste num café chique e percebeste que dizer I want (eu quero) soa um pouco como uma criança a exigir um brinquedo? Todos nós já passámos por isso. Não estás a ser mau, mas em inglês, a distância entre ser direto e rude é por vezes mais fina do que o ecrã de um smartphone.
É aí que o would like vem ao resgate. É a capa de cortesia que envolves nos teus desejos para que soem sofisticados e respeitosos. Quer estejas a pedir um hambúrguer numa app de entrega, a pedir uma reunião no Zoom a um colega ou a dizer aos teus seguidores no Instagram o que planeias fazer este verão, este padrão é o teu melhor amigo.
Transforma uma exigência brusca num pedido suave e socialmente aceitável. Pensa nisso como a diferença entre abrir uma porta com um pontapé e bater suavemente com um sorriso.

How This Grammar Works

Na sua essência, o would like seguido de um infinitive (a forma to + verbo) é uma estrutura condicional usada para expressar um desejo ou uma vontade específica no presente ou futuro. Embora a palavra want seja perfeitamente correta gramaticalmente, muitas vezes carrega um tom pesado e exigente. Imagina que estás a enviar uma mensagem a um amigo sobre uma viagem de fim de semana.
Se disseres I want to go to the beach (quero ir à praia), soa como uma decisão final que tomaste sem ele. Mas se disseres I would like to go to the beach (gostaria de ir à praia), abre um espaço para ele concordar ou não. Suaviza o impacto do teu ego.
A magia acontece porque o would é um verbo modal que adiciona uma camada de potencialidade ou possibilidade. Sugere que tens um desejo, mas és cortês o suficiente para reconhecer que o mundo não gira inteiramente à tua volta — mesmo que precises mesmo daquele iced latte agora. Funciona exatamente como um filtro social para o teu cérebro.

Formation Pattern

1
Criar este padrão é mais fácil do que perceber um novo algoritmo do TikTok. Só precisas de três partes principais:
2
O Sujeito: Pode ser I, you, he, she, it, we, ou they. A melhor parte? O would like nunca muda de forma! Sem -s extra para he ou she.
3
A Frase: Usa sempre would like. No inglês falado e em mensagens casuais, quase sempre contraímos para 'd like. Portanto, I would like torna-se I'd like, e she would like torna-se she'd like.
4
O Infinitivo: É o to seguido do verbo base. to travel, to eat, to sleep.
5
Vejamos as variações:
6
Afirmativa: I would like to order the vegan pizza. (Ou: I'd like to order...)
7
Negativa: Adiciona not depois de would. I would not like to stay out late tonight. (Contraído: I wouldn't like to...)
8
Pergunta: Troca o sujeito e o would. Would you like to join our Discord server?
9
É uma estrutura rígida mas fiável. Não precisas de te preocupar com conjugações complexas aqui. Apenas mantém o to colado ao teu verbo como uma sombra leal. Se te esqueceres do to, a frase desmorona-se como um guarda-chuva barato numa tempestade.

When To Use It

Vais dar por ti a usar would like + infinitive em quase todas as interações sociais que envolvam uma escolha ou um objetivo.
  • Pedir via Apps ou pessoalmente: Quando estás a escrever instruções para o teu motorista da Uber Eats, I'd like to have the sauce on the side (gostaria de ter o molho à parte) soa muito mais profissional do que um gritado I want sauce on the side (quero o molho à parte).
  • Fazer Pedidos Profissionais: Numa mensagem do LinkedIn ou num e-mail a um professor, poderias escrever: I would like to schedule a quick call (gostaria de agendar uma chamada rápida). Isso mostra que respeitas o tempo deles.
  • Expressar Ambições: Se és um vlogger de viagens a filmar um vídeo de lista de desejos, poderias dizer: I'd like to visit Tokyo by 2027 (gostaria de visitar Tóquio até 2027). Soa mais como um sonho e menos como uma lista de compras.
  • Oferecer algo aos outros: Isto é fundamental em situações sociais. Would you like to see my vacation photos? (gostarias de ver as minhas fotos das férias?) é a forma cortês de perguntar antes de aborreceres alguém com 500 fotos de um pôr do sol.
  • Recusar convites: É a forma perfeita de dizer não sem seres rude. I'd like to come, but I have to finish my Netflix marathon. (Gostaria de ir, mas tenho de terminar a minha maratona da Netflix).

Common Mistakes

A armadilha mais frequente em que vais cair é o buraco do To em falta. Muita gente diz I would like go home. Au. Isso soa como um robô com pouca bateria. Tens de incluir o to. Outro erro clássico é confundir o would like com o presente simples like. Se disseres I like to swim, estás a falar do teu hobby em geral. Se disseres I would like to swim, estás a dizer que queres saltar para a água neste preciso momento. Não digas ao teu chefe I like to have a raise (hobby geral de receber dinheiro?) quando queres dizer I would like to have a raise (por favor, dê-me um aumento agora). Finalmente, cuidado com a armadilha do ing. Embora I like swimming seja ótimo, I would like swimming é geralmente um erro para esta regra específica de B1. Mantém-te fiel ao to + verbo para estares seguro.

Contrast With Similar Patterns

Vamos fazer uma comparação rápida para ver onde o would like se encaixa no Espectro do Desejo.

I want to eat: Muito direto, muita energia, pode soar rude em lojas ou com estranhos. Usa isto com os teus irmãos ou melhores amigos quando estiveres cheio de fome.
I like eating: Uma declaração geral sobre a tua personalidade. Gostas de comer. Fixe. Todos gostamos.
I would like to eat: O meio-termo cortês. Perfeito para restaurantes, novos conhecidos e contextos formais.
I feel like eating: Muito casual. Usa isto quando estiveres indeciso e a percorrer uma app de comida.

Pensa no want como uma marreta e no would like como uma luva de veludo. Ambos fazem o trabalho de expressar um desejo, mas a luva de veludo deixa uma impressão muito melhor na pessoa com quem estás a falar.

After 'would like', use the infinitive (to have), not the gerund (having).

💡

Use contrações para soar mais natural

Quando estiver batendo um papo ou até em situações semi-formais, use a contração do 'would' para 'd' (tipo 'I'd like', 'She'd like'). Isso faz seu inglês fluir melhor e você parece mais nativo, sabe? Tenta falar em voz alta!
It helps you blend in with native speakers.
⚠️

Não confunda com o 'Like' (geral)

Lembre-se que 'would like' é pra desejos ou pedidos bem específicos, agora ou no futuro. Não use pra falar de gostos gerais ou hobbies. Por exemplo, diga 'I like swimming' (gosto geral), não 'I would like swimming' (soa estranho pra um hobby, parece que você quer nadar *agora*). I like swimming.
I would like swimming.
🎯

Adicione 'Please' para mais educação

Mesmo que 'would like' já seja super educado, colocar um 'please' (principalmente no final do pedido) dá um toque extra de gentileza. 'I'd like to order a coffee, please' é tipo a cereja do bolo da polidez! "I'd like to order a coffee, please."
🌍

O Contexto é Tudo!

Falantes de inglês valorizam muito a educação, especialmente com desconhecidos, atendentes ou em ambientes profissionais. Usar 'would like' mostra respeito e boas maneiras, deixando sua comunicação muito mais agradável e eficaz.
It sets a positive tone!
💡

Use 'Would love' para entusiasmo

Se você quiser expressar um desejo ainda mais forte ou muito entusiasmo, troque 'would like' por 'would love'. Por exemplo, se alguém pergunta: 'Would you like to go to the concert?' e você está super animado, 'I'd love to go!' mostra seu entusiasmo perfeitamente. "I'd love to go!"

Smart Tips

Pause and replace 'I want' with 'I'd like'.

I want a menu. → I'd like a menu, please.

Look for the word 'to'. If there is a 'to' and it's a specific request, it's 'would like'.

I like to go now. (Wrong context) → I'd like to go now. (Correct request)

Always use 'Would you like to...' instead of 'Do you want to...'. It sounds more generous.

Do you want to come to my party? → Would you like to come to my party?

Contract 'I would' to 'I'd'. Native speakers rarely say the full 'I would' in conversation.

I would like to order. → I'd like to order.

Pronúncia

/aɪd laɪk/

The 'd' Contraction

The 'd' in 'I'd' is very soft. It often blends into the 'l' of 'like'.

/laɪk tə/

Linking 'to'

The word 'to' is usually reduced to a schwa sound /tə/.

In international meetings, 'I'd like to...' is the safest way to interrupt or add a point without offending colleagues from different cultures.

The word 'would' is the past tense of 'will', which originally meant 'to wish' or 'to desire' in Old English (willan).

Perguntas frequentes (8)

Yes! If you are followed by a noun (a thing), you don't need 'to'. You only need 'to' if a verb (an action) follows.

'I'd love' is much stronger. Use it when you are very excited about an offer.

Because 'would like' is a conditional request, and English grammar requires the infinitive 'to swim' for specific future/present desires.

Not at all. It's very common to use it with friends when offering something, like 'Would you like a snack?'

The short form is 'wouldn't like'. Example: 'I wouldn't like to be late.'

In very old-fashioned or formal British English, yes. But 'would like' is the standard everywhere today.

The most polite answers are 'Yes, I would' or 'Yes, please' and 'No, thank you'.

To talk about the past, you use 'would like to have' + past participle. Example: 'I would like to have seen that movie.'
