Origin and related forms: The verb incluir comes from Latin includere, formed with the prefix in- meaning “in” and the rootcludere related to closing or enclosing. In Portuguese, incluir is a regular verb of the -ir class with some irregularities in the past tenses. Common conjugations in the preterite include eu incluí, tu incluíste, ele/ela incluiu, nós incluímos, eles/elas incluíram. The form incluiu is specifically the third-person singular preterite.

Usage notes: Incluiu is widely used in formal, journalistic, and everyday contexts to report that something was added to a group, document, list, or system. It pairs with direct objects such as pessoas, itens, cláusulas, recursos, and ideias. The verb often appears in statements about changes, updates, or additions that have already occurred.
