IrregularReflexivedivertir → divertirse

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 divierto
te diviertes
voste divertís
él/ella/Ud.se divierte
nosotrosnos divertimos
vosotrosos divertís
ellos/ellas/Uds.se divierten

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 divertí
te divertiste
voste divertiste
él/ella/Ud.se divirtió
nosotrosnos divertimos
vosotrosos divertisteis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se divirtieron

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 divertía
te divertías
voste divertías
él/ella/Ud.se divertía
nosotrosnos divertíamos
vosotrosos divertíais
ellos/ellas/Uds.se divertían

Conditional (Condicional) Regular

Expresses hypothetical actions, polite requests, and what would happen under certain conditions. Also used for reported speech about the future from a past perspective.

¿Podrías ayudarme? — Could you help me?

PronounSpanish
yome divertiría
te divertirías
voste divertirías
él/ella/Ud.se divertiría
nosotrosnos divertiríamos
vosotrosos divertiríais
ellos/ellas/Uds.se divertirían

Future (Futuro) Regular

Expresses future actions, predictions, and probability about the present. Formed with the full infinitive as stem for most verbs. In spoken Spanish, ir a + infinitive is often preferred for near future.

PronounSpanish
yome divertiré
te divertirás
voste divertirás
él/ella/Ud.se divertirá
nosotrosnos divertiremos
vosotrosos divertiréis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se divertirán

Present perfect (Pretérito perfecto) Regular

A compound past tense linking a past action to the present moment — something that has happened and still feels recent or relevant. More common in Spain than Latin America where preterite is preferred.

Hoy he hablado con el jefe — Today I have spoken with the boss

PronounSpanish
yome he divertido
te has divertido
voste has divertido
él/ella/Ud.se ha divertido
nosotrosnos hemos divertido
vosotrosos habéis divertido
ellos/ellas/Uds.se han divertido

Pluperfect (Pretérito pluscuamperfecto) Regular

The past of the past — describes an action that was already completed before another past event happened. Always implies a reference point in the past.

PronounSpanish
yome había divertido
te habías divertido
voste habías divertido
él/ella/Ud.se había divertido
nosotrosnos habíamos divertido

Habría hablado, pero no me dejaron — I would have spoken, but they did not let me

PronounSpanish
yome habría divertido
te habrías divertido
voste habrías divertido
él/ella/Ud.se habría divertido
nosotrosnos habríamos divertido
vosotrosos habríais divertido

Subjunctive

Present subjunctive (Subjuntivo presente) Irregular

Used in subordinate clauses after expressions of desire, doubt, emotion, necessity, or impersonal statements. Triggered by a change of subject between the main and subordinate clause.

voste diviertas
él/ella/Ud.se divierta

vosotrosos divirtáis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se diviertan

Imperfect subjunctive (-ra) (Subjuntivo imperfecto (-ra)) Irregular

Present progressive (Presente progresivo) Irregular

Emphasises that an action is happening right now at this very moment. Less common than in English since the present tense already covers ongoing actions in Spanish.

te estás divirtiendo
voste estás divirtiendo
él/ella/Ud.se está divirtiendo
nosotrosnos estamos divirtiendo
vosotrosos estáis divirtiendo
ellos/ellas/Uds.se están divirtiendo

PronounSpanish
yome estuve divirtiendo
te estuviste divirtiendo
voste estuviste divirtiendo

ellos/ellas/Uds.se estuvieron divirtiendo

Imperfect progressive (Pretérito imperfecto progresivo) Irregular
