Frequency#1164Regular

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.

enumerasyou enumerate
vosenumerásyou enumerate
él/ella/Ud.enumerahe/she/it enumerates

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.

vosenumerabas
él/ella/Ud.enumeraba
