Indicative

Present (Presente) Irregular

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 ciego
te ciegas
voste cegás
él/ella/Ud.se ciega
nosotrosnos cegamos
vosotrosos cegáis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se ciegan

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

PronounSpanish
yome cegué
te cegaste
voste cegaste
él/ella/Ud.se cegó
nosotrosnos cegamos
vosotrosos cegasteis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se cegaron

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 cegaba
te cegabas
voste cegabas
él/ella/Ud.se cegaba

PronounSpanish
yome he cegado
te has cegado
voste has cegado
él/ella/Ud.se ha cegado
