embarazar — Spanish conjugation
to impregnate
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
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| yo | embarazo | I impregnate |
| tú | embarazas | you impregnate |
| vos | embarazás | you impregnate |

| ellos/ellas/Uds. | embarazan | they impregnate |
Preterite (Pretérito indefinido) Irregular
