Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

The verb 'fazer' means both 'to do' and 'to make' and is highly irregular in the present tense.

  • The first-person singular is irregular: 'Eu faço'.
  • The rest of the singular forms follow the root 'faz-'.
  • The plural forms follow the root 'faz-': 'fazemos', 'fazem'.
Subject + Fazer (conjugation) + Object

Overview

The Portuguese verb fazer is a fundamental and highly versatile verb, serving as the equivalent of both to do and to make in English. Its importance for A1 learners cannot be overstated, as it is among the most frequently used verbs in the language. Fazer describes a wide array of actions, from mundane daily tasks to creative endeavors, and extends even to impersonal expressions concerning weather and elapsed time.
Mastering its conjugation and diverse applications is essential for constructing basic sentences and understanding common conversational patterns in Portuguese.
While fazer is irregular in its conjugation, particularly in the first person singular, its patterns become predictable once this initial irregularity is understood. Its broad utility means you will encounter and use it constantly, whether discussing your daily routine, expressing what you produce, or simply remarking on the climate. This verb is integral to expressing fundamental concepts of activity and creation, making it a cornerstone for early language acquisition.

Conjugation Table

Pronoun Brazilian Portuguese (BP) European Portuguese (EP) English Translation
:-------- :------------------------ :----------------------- :------------------
Eu faço faço I do / I make
Tu faz (informal, less common) fazes You (singular, informal) do / make
Você faz faz You (singular, formal) do / make
Ele/Ela faz faz He/She does / makes
Nós fazemos fazemos We do / we make
Vocês fazem fazem You (plural) do / make
Eles/Elas fazem fazem They do / they make

How This Grammar Works

At its core, fazer functions as a single verb encompassing the meanings of both to do and to make from English. This dual role simplifies vocabulary acquisition for beginners, as you do not need to distinguish between two separate verbs for these common actions. For example, Eu faço o jantar can mean I make dinner, and Eu faço yoga means I do yoga.
Beyond simple actions and creation, fazer extends its utility to impersonal expressions. It is consistently used for stating weather conditions, such as Faz calor (It is hot). It also expresses time elapsed, as in Faz cinco anos que moro aqui (
I have lived here for five years
or literally
It makes five years that I live here
).
In these constructions, fazer always appears in the third-person singular form (faz), regardless of the apparent plurality of the time or weather concept. This impersonal usage reflects a different conceptualization of these phenomena in Portuguese compared to English.
Portuguese generally does not maintain the strict grammatical distinction between the simple present (I do) and the present continuous (I am doing) that English does in casual speech. Therefore, Eu faço can contextually translate to either I do or I am doing. This flexibility means fewer complex structures for A1 learners to master initially, allowing for more fluid expression of present actions. The primary indicator for a continuous action in Portuguese would involve the verb estar plus the gerund, a structure typically introduced after solidifying simple present conjugations.

Formation Pattern

1
Conjugating fazer in the Present Indicative follows a specific pattern, with a notable irregularity in the first person singular form (eu). Understanding this pattern is crucial for accurate usage.
2
Identify the Stem: For most forms, the root of the verb is faz-. You begin with this base.
3
First Person Singular (Eu): This is the most irregular form. The z changes to a ç, and the ending -o is added. This change (z to ç) is phonetically driven; it maintains the s sound ([s]) before the vowel o, which would otherwise become a z sound ([z]) if written as fazo. Thus, fazer becomes eu faço. Example: Eu faço os pagamentos online. (I make the online payments.)
4
Second Person Singular (Tu): (Predominantly EP) Take the stem faz- and add the ending -es. This results in tu fazes. Example: Tu fazes planos para o fim de semana? (Are you making plans for the weekend?)
5
Third Person Singular (Você/Ele/Ela): This form uses the simple stem faz without any additional ending. Example: Ele faz um bolo delicioso. (He makes a delicious cake.)
6
First Person Plural (Nós): Take the stem faz- and add the ending -emos. This forms nós fazemos. Example: Nós fazemos tudo o que podemos. (We do everything we can.)
7
Third Person Plural (Vocês/Eles/Elas): Take the stem faz- and add the ending -em. This results in vocês fazem or eles fazem. Example: Elas fazem muitas perguntas. (They ask many questions.)
8
This pattern highlights that while fazer is irregular, the irregularity is largely confined to the eu form, with the other forms following a more consistent, albeit unique, set of endings for an -er verb. Consistent practice with these forms will solidify their recall.

When To Use It

The versatility of fazer means it applies across numerous contexts. Understanding its primary categories of use will enable you to deploy it accurately in diverse situations.
1. Expressing Actions and Tasks
Fazer is the primary verb for describing activities, duties, and general tasks. This encompasses everything from household chores to intellectual work.
  • Fazer a cama:
    To make the bed.
    (e.g., Eu faço a cama todas as manhãs.)
  • Fazer ginástica: To exercise or to do gymnastics. (e.g., Nós fazemos ginástica na academia.)
  • Fazer o dever de casa: To do homework. (e.g., Você faz o dever de casa depois da escola?)
2. Indicating Creation or Production
When something is being produced, constructed, or brought into existence, fazer is the appropriate verb. This can be tangible objects or intangible creations.
  • Fazer um café:
    To make a coffee.
    (e.g., Ele faz um café excelente.)
  • Fazer um bolo:
    To make a cake.
    (e.g., Minha mãe faz um bolo de chocolate para meu aniversário.)
  • Fazer um comentário:
    To make a comment.
    (e.g., Eu faço um comentário no post.)
3. Describing Weather Conditions
In Portuguese, fazer is used impersonally in the third-person singular (faz) to describe the weather, a significant divergence from English where to be is used. The concept here is that the weather makes a condition.
  • Faz sol: It is sunny. (e.g., Hoje faz sol, perfeito para a praia.)
  • Faz frio/calor:
    It is cold/hot.
    (e.g., No inverno, faz muito frio no sul.)
  • Faz bom/mau tempo:
    The weather is good/bad.
    (e.g., Quando faz mau tempo, fico em casa.)
4. Referring to Elapsed Time
Fazer is employed to indicate a duration of time that has passed, often equivalent to ago or for X time in English. Critically, it *always* remains in the third-person singular (faz), even when referring to plural periods of time.
  • Faz dez anos: Ten years ago or
    It has been ten years.
    (e.g., Faz dez anos que nos conhecemos.)
  • Faz uma semana: A week ago or
    It has been a week.
    (e.g., Faz uma semana que o Pedro viajou.)
  • Often used with que: Faz um mês que eu moro no Brasil. (I have been living in Brazil for a month.)
5. Inquiring About Professions or Occupations
When asking about someone's job or what they do for a living, fazer is the standard verb. This is a common social interaction.
  • O que você faz?:
    What do you do?
    (e.g., A nova vizinha chegou. O que ela faz?)
  • Eu faço marketing digital.:
    I do digital marketing.
    (e.g., Quando me perguntam, eu digo que faço marketing digital.)
6. In Various Idiomatic Expressions
Portuguese features numerous fixed expressions and idioms that incorporate fazer. While A1 learners are not expected to master all idioms, recognizing fazer in these contexts is helpful.
  • Fazer um favor:
    To do a favor.
  • Fazer uma pergunta:
    To ask a question.
  • Fazer de conta: To pretend.

When Not To Use It

Despite its broad utility, fazer is not a universal substitute for every English verb that translates as to do or to make. Misapplications can lead to unnatural-sounding or incorrect sentences.
  • To make money: Do not use fazer dinheiro. The correct verb is ganhar (to earn). Example: Eu ganho dinheiro trabalhando. (I earn money working.)
  • To make a decision
    : The idiomatic expression for this is tomar uma decisão, using the verb tomar (to take). Example: Preciso tomar uma decisão importante. (I need to make an important decision.)
  • To become: Fazer does not typically mean to become in the sense of changing state or identity. For this, verbs like ficar or tornar-se are used. Example: Ele ficou feliz com a notícia. (He became happy with the news.) Contrast Fazer 20 anos (to turn 20) which is a specific, acceptable use.
  • Causative constructions (
    to make someone do something
    )    : For example,
    I made him laugh
    or
    She made me go.
    These require more advanced structures (e.g., fazer com que, or simple direct constructions with verbs of command/persuasion) which are beyond the A1 level. Avoid direct translation with fazer in these cases.
  • To make sense: The correct expression is fazer sentido. In this specific idiom, fazer is used, but it's important to recognize it as a fixed phrase, not a general pattern for all concepts of making sense.
Understanding these distinctions helps refine your usage and align it more closely with native speech patterns. The presence of specific verbs or idiomatic phrases for these concepts indicates that fazer has its boundaries.

Common Mistakes

Beginners often encounter specific pitfalls when learning to use fazer. Recognizing these common errors is the first step toward correcting them and achieving more natural fluency.
  • Incorrect eu form: The most frequent error is writing eu fazo instead of eu faço. This mistake arises from attempting to regularize an irregular verb. Remember the phonetic reason: the ç maintains the [s] sound before o that the z would otherwise lose. Always use eu faço.
  • Using ser or estar for weather: Learners often default to É frio or Está frio for It is cold by direct translation from English. While Está frio is technically acceptable in some contexts (implying a temporary state), Faz frio is the most idiomatic and common expression for general weather conditions. Faz calor, Faz sol, Faz vento are the standard forms.
  • Pluralizing fazer for elapsed time: When expressing duration, learners might say Fazem dez anos (plural verb for plural years). However, for elapsed time, fazer is always used impersonally in the singular third person (faz), regardless of the number of years, months, or days. Always Faz dez anos, not Fazem dez anos.
  • Confusing fazer with ter for age: While English uses to be for age (
    I am 20 years old
    ), Portuguese uses ter (to have): Eu tenho 20 anos. Some learners might incorrectly use fazer. However, fazer *is* used when referring to the act of turning a certain age: Eu faço 21 anos amanhã. (I turn 21 tomorrow.)
  • Over-regularization: Trying to conjugate fazer like a regular -er verb (e.g., tu faze, ele faze) beyond the eu form's unique change. While tu fazes is correct in EP, the point is to avoid inventing regular -er endings where fazer has its specific irregular ones. Memorize the entire conjugation table, especially the eu form.
Addressing these specific points with focused practice will significantly improve your accuracy with fazer.

Memory Trick

To consistently remember the irregular eu faço form, you can create a simple phonetic association. Think of faço as similar to the English word fossil or the fa-so sound. The key is to link that ç sound to the eu pronoun.

Another approach is to visualize the versatility of fazer like a Swiss Army knife (a common analogy). This mental image reinforces that fazer is a single tool with multiple functions: doing, making, weather, time. When you need to express an action or creation, immediately recall the Swiss Army knife concept and it will prompt you to use fazer.

- For eu faço: Focus on the unique sound and spelling of ç (like an 's'). Imagine saying *fa-sso* to yourself.

- For its many uses: Picture a Swiss Army knife with blades for do, make, weather, and time. This visual reminder helps you recall its diverse applications.

These mnemonic devices can help solidify the irregular form and broad applications in your memory, reducing hesitation during communication.

Real Conversations

Fazer is ubiquitous in everyday Portuguese, spanning informal texts, social media, and more formal work communications. Observing its use in these contexts demonstrates its natural integration into contemporary speech.

In Text Messages/WhatsApp (BP):

- O que você faz agora? (What are you doing now?) - Quick check-in.

- Faz o almoço? (Are you making lunch?) - Direct, informal inquiry about a task.

- Faz frio aqui! (It's cold here!) - Casual weather remark.

On Social Media (EP/BP):

- Ela faz um trabalho incrível! (She does incredible work!) - Comment on someone's achievement.

- O que fazer quando faz muito calor? (What to do when it's very hot?) - A common question or caption.

- Fazendo amigos novos. (Making new friends.) - A status update (using the gerund fazendo).

In Work Emails/Casual Office Talk (BP/EP):

- Você pode fazer a apresentação até sexta? (Can you do the presentation by Friday?) - A request for a task.

- Faz três anos que trabalho nesta empresa. (I've been working at this company for three years.) - Stating duration of employment.

- Vamos fazer uma reunião para discutir. (Let's have a meeting to discuss.) - Suggesting an action.

These examples illustrate that fazer is not confined to textbooks but is an active component of daily communication, used to convey actions, states, and requests efficiently in various registers.

Contrast With Similar Patterns

Distinguishing fazer from other verbs that might seem similar or that fulfill related functions is crucial for precise communication. Understanding these subtle differences enhances your grammatical accuracy.
1. Fazer vs. Dar (To Give)
While dar means to give, some expressions involving fazer can overlap conceptually, especially with abstract actions.
  • Fazer uma festa (to throw a party) is common. You can also hear dar uma festa (to give a party), implying host responsibility. The choice often reflects a slight nuance in focus: fazer emphasizes the *act* of organizing, dar implies the *provision* of the event.
  • Fazer um presente (to make a gift) vs. dar um presente (to give a gift). Here, the distinction is clear between creation and bestowal.
  • Fazer um conselho (incorrect) vs. Dar um conselho (to give advice). Conselho (advice) is something you *give*, not *make* in Portuguese.
2. Fazer vs. Preparar (To Prepare)
For cooking or getting ready, fazer is broadly applicable, but preparar offers more specificity.
  • Fazer o jantar is very common and simply means to make dinner.
  • Preparar o jantar implies a more deliberate process of preparation, perhaps involving specific recipes or ingredients. While often interchangeable for A1, preparar emphasizes the act of getting something ready.
3. Faz vs. Há (for Elapsed Time)
Both faz (from fazer) and há (from haver, meaning there is/are or ago) are used to express elapsed time. For A1 learners, faz is often simpler to grasp due to its direct connection to the already learned verb fazer.
  • Faz dois anos que moro aqui. (I have lived here for two years.)
  • Moro aqui há dois anos. (I have lived here for two years.)
Both sentences are grammatically correct and convey the same meaning. In BP, faz is arguably more prevalent in casual speech for indicating duration, though há is also very common and often preferred in formal writing. Focus on mastering faz first, then introduce há as an alternative.
4. Fazer vs. Construir (To Build)
Fazer can mean to make or to build in a general sense, but construir is specifically reserved for constructing physical structures or complex systems.
  • Fazer uma casa (to make a house) is understood, but Construir uma casa (to build a house) is more precise and common for architectural construction.
  • Fazer um site (to make a website) vs. Construir um site (to build a website). Both are acceptable, but construir might imply a more technical or foundational development process.
5. Fazer vs. Tirar (To Take)
For photography, both verbs can be used, though tirar is more common.
  • Tirar uma foto (to take a photo) is the most frequent expression.
  • Fazer uma foto can also be used, particularly when emphasizing the *creation* or artistic aspect of photography, but it's less common for the simple act of snapping a picture.
By noting these comparisons, you can develop a more nuanced understanding of verb choice and avoid common translation errors.

Quick FAQ

Q: Is fazer used for
to take a trip
?

Yes, absolutely. Fazer uma viagem is the standard expression for

to take a trip
or
to go on a journey.
Example: Nós fazemos uma viagem para a praia todo ano. (We take a trip to the beach every year.)

Q: Can fazer be used to mean to cause or to make happen?

In some contexts, yes, particularly with abstract nouns. For example, fazer barulho means to make noise, implying causing noise. However, for more complex causative structures (e.g.,

I made him angry
), other verbs or more advanced grammatical constructions are typically used beyond A1. For beginners, stick to direct actions and creations.

Q: Why is faz always singular for time expressions like faz dez anos?

In this construction, faz acts as an impersonal verb, similar to how it functions in It is raining. The verb fazer here doesn't agree with the number of years (anos), but rather with an implied, abstract concept of time which is singular. It's best to memorize this as a fixed, impersonal usage.

Q: Is fazer used for
to ask a question
?

Yes, fazer uma pergunta is the correct and common expression. Example: Eu preciso fazer uma pergunta. (I need to ask a question.)

Q: What about fazer compras?

Fazer compras means to go shopping or

to do the shopping.
It's a very common and essential expression. Example: Eu faço compras no supermercado aos sábados. (I do the shopping at the supermarket on Saturdays.)

Q: Are there regional differences for fazer in the present tense?

The main regional difference is in the use of tu vs. você. In European Portuguese, tu fazes is standard for informal singular you. In Brazilian Portuguese, você faz is used for both formal and informal singular you, making tu fazes less common in daily conversation, though it is still understood. The eu faço and plural forms remain consistent.
