PronounSpanish
yoincurro
incurres
vosincurrís
él/ella/Ud.incurre
nosotrosincurrimos
vosotrosincurrís
ellos/ellas/Uds.incurren

Preterite (Pretérito indefinido) Regular

Ella habló de ti ayer — She spoke about you yesterday

PronounSpanish
yoincurrí
incurriste
vosincurriste
él/ella/Ud.incurrió
nosotrosincurrimos
vosotrosincurristeis

PronounSpanish
yoincurría
incurrías
vosincurrías
él/ella/Ud.incurría

PronounSpanish
