apresentarás

Apresentarás is a Portuguese verb form corresponding to the second-person singular of the simple future indicative of apresentar, meaning to present or to introduce. It expresses an action the subject will perform in the future and is used when the informal subject tu is present in the sentence, as in Portugal.

Conjugation and form details: apresentar is a regular -ar verb. In the simple future indicative, the endings for tu are -ás: apresentarás. The full paradigm in this tense is: eu apresentarei, tu apresentarás, ele/ela apresentará, nós apresentaremos, vós apresentareis (primarily in Portugal), eles/elas apresentarão. In contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, the corresponding everyday form for the second person is usually você apresentará, which uses the third-person singular ending -á, and tu-present tense forms are less common in many regions.

Usage notes: The form is standard in European Portuguese when using the informal subject tu. In Brazilian Portuguese, the preferred everyday form is typically associated with você, so apresentarás is commonly encountered mainly in written texts or regional varieties where tu is used. The form can appear in instructional, formal, or narrative contexts to indicate a future action by the addressed person.

Examples: Amanhã tu apresentarás o teu projeto na reunião. Ela disse que tu apresentarás as propostas na próxima sessão. In Brazilian Portuguese, the equivalent statement would usually be: Amanhã você apresentará o projeto na reunião.

Etymology: apresent paras from the Latin praesentare, via the development of Portuguese verbs derived from Latin praesentare, adapted into the modern Portuguese parecer.
