prendarse — Spanish conjugation
to become enamored
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 |
|---|---|
| yo | me prendo |
| tú | te prendas |
| vos | te prendás |
| él/ella/Ud. | se prenda |
| nosotros | nos prendamos |
| vosotros | os prendáis |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | se prendan |
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
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| yo | me prendé |
| tú | te prendaste |
| vos | te prendaste |
| él/ella/Ud. | se prendó |
| nosotros | nos prendamos |
| vosotros | os prendasteis |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | se prendaron |
Imperfect (Pretérito imperfecto) Regular
Describes ongoing or habitual past states — what things were like, background context, what used to happen. Contrasts with the preterite which marks completed events.
Cuando era niño vivía en Valencia — When I was a child I lived in Valencia
| Pronoun | Spanish |

Present perfect (Pretérito perfecto) Regular
A compound past tense linking a past action to the present moment — something that has happened and still feels recent or relevant. More common in Spain than Latin America where preterite is preferred.
