Indicative

Present (Presente) Regular

The present tense is the most versatile tense in Spanish. It covers actions happening right now, habitual actions, and even near-future plans. One form does the work of three English constructions.

Ella habla inglés — She speaks / is speaking English

PronounSpanish
yome agobio
te agobias
voste agobiás
él/ella/Ud.se agobia
nosotrosnos agobiamos
vosotrosos agobiáis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se agobian

Preterite (Pretérito indefinido) Regular

Used for completed past actions with a defined endpoint — a single event, a series of events, or an action that interrupted another. Common with time expressions like ayer, el lunes, una vez.

Ella habló de ti ayer — She spoke about you yesterday

PronounSpanish
yome agobié
te agobiaste
voste agobiaste
él/ella/Ud.se agobió
nosotrosnos agobiamos
vosotrosos agobiasteis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se agobiaron

Imperfect (Pretérito imperfecto) Regular

Describes ongoing or habitual past states — what things were like, background context, what used to happen. Contrasts with the preterite which marks completed events.

Cuando era niño vivía en Valencia — When I was a child I lived in Valencia

PronounSpanish
yome agobiaba

voste agobiabas
él/ella/Ud.se agobiaba
