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

PronounSpanish
yoestabilizo
estabilizas
vosestabilizás
él/ella/Ud.estabiliza
nosotrosestabilizamos
vosotrosestabilizáis
ellos/ellas/Uds.estabilizan

Preterite (Pretérito indefinido) Regular

Ella habló de ti ayer — She spoke about you yesterday

PronounSpanish
yoestabilicé
estabilizaste
vosestabilizaste
él/ella/Ud.estabilizó
nosotrosestabilizamos
vosotrosestabilizasteis
ellos/ellas/Uds.estabilizaron

Imperfect (Pretérito imperfecto) Regular

PronounSpanish
yoestabilizaba
estabilizabas
vosestabilizabas
él/ella/Ud.estabilizaba
nosotrosestabilizábamos
