to be at risk

Frequency#1500Regular

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

PronounSpanishEnglish
yopeligroI am at risk

vospeligrásyou are at risk
él/ella/Ud.peligrahe/she/it is at risk
nosotrospeligramoswe are at risk
vosotrospeligráisyou (pl.) are at risk
ellos/ellas/Uds.peligranthey are at risk

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.

Ella habló de ti ayer — She spoke about you yesterday

Imperfect (Pretérito imperfecto) Regular
