concluir — Spanish conjugation
to conclude
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
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| yo | concluyo | I conclude |
| tú | concluyes | you conclude |
| vos | concluís | you conclude |
| él/ella/Ud. | concluye | he/she/it concludes |
| nosotros | concluimos | we conclude |
| vosotros | concluís | you (pl.) conclude |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | concluyen | they conclude |
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
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| yo | concluí | I concluded |
| tú | concluiste | you concluded |
| vos | concluiste | you concluded |
| él/ella/Ud. | concluyó | he/she/it concluded |
| nosotros | concluimos | we concluded |
| vosotros | concluisteis | you (pl.) concluded |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | concluyeron | they concluded |
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
| Pronoun | Spanish |

| tú | concluías |
| vos | concluías |
| él/ella/Ud. | concluía |
| nosotros | concluíamos |
| vosotros | concluíais |

Present perfect (Pretérito perfecto) Regular
