If I had left yesterday, I would already have I arrive at home
Or

Or

Arrived or arrived? Bring or brought? Do you know what the right way is? This questioning is more common than you might think.
One of the most common deviations in the Portuguese language is in relation to the use of the participle. Well, if the problem is with the proper use of this nominal form, nothing better than starting the studies defining what is a participle and what are its variations. Come on?
The participle as well as the infinitive it's the gerund, is a nominal form, that is, they indicate that theverbsare playing the role of nouns, adverbs and adjectives. Verbs in the participle are those that do not have ending mode-temporal or personal-number, and this makes them resemble adjectives, for example. Here are some examples of participles: spoken, thought, loved etc.
The participle can be classified into:
→ regular participle
- in this classification, the verbs have the endings: ADO(A) or IDO(A).
Examples:
The girl already had walked yesterday.
Carlos already had eaten all that was left of the snack.
Ana had broken before everyone arrived.
My son arrived in every whole wet yesterday.
the sandals were plays in the room.
→ irregular participle
- in this classification, the verbs do not have ready-made endings.
Examples:
Mark went expelled from school.
this year you are free of the tuition fee.
lulu was stuck.
He was suspended.
my mother stayed amazed with the neighbor's story.
You already know what a participle is and what its possible classifications are, but there is still one more aspect to be considered in this study: the abundant verbs. Some verbs may have more than one noun form in some of their tenses, that is, they take both regular and irregular forms. However, the verbs bring and to arrive are not abundant, so they only take one form in the participle: brought and arrived. The shapes I arrive and bring they do not exist as nominal forms in our language. Therefore, the correct answers to the questions at the beginning of this text are:
regular participle
If I had left yesterday, I would already have arrived at home.
he already had brought the coffee.
Follow a list now to improve your knowledge of the participle. Don't forget: the best way to never make mistakes again is to expand your vocabulary.
