to coordinate

Frequency#581Regular

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

coordinasyou coordinate
voscoordinásyou coordinate
él/ella/Ud.coordinahe/she/it coordinates
nosotroscoordinamoswe coordinate
vosotroscoordináisyou (pl.) coordinate
ellos/ellas/Uds.coordinanthey coordinate

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

PronounSpanishEnglish
yocoordinéI coordinated
coordinasteyou coordinated
voscoordinasteyou coordinated
él/ella/Ud.coordinóhe/she/it coordinated

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.

PronounSpanish
yocoordinaba
coordinabas
voscoordinabas
él/ella/Ud.coordinaba
nosotroscoordinábamos

él/ella/Ud.coordine
nosotroscoordinemos
