Frequency#642Irregular

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

PronounSpanishEnglish

agregasyou add
vosagregásyou add
él/ella/Ud.agregahe/she/it adds
nosotrosagregamoswe add
vosotrosagregáisyou (pl.) add
ellos/ellas/Uds.agreganthey add

Preterite (Pretérito indefinido) Irregular

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

PronounSpanishEnglish
yoagreguéI added
agregasteyou added
vosagregasteyou added
él/ella/Ud.agregóhe/she/it added

vosotrosagregasteisyou (pl.) added
ellos/ellas/Uds.agregaronthey added

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
yoagregaba
agregabas
vosagregabas
él/ella/Ud.agregaba
nosotrosagregábamos

PronounSpanish
