reafirmar — Spanish conjugation
to reaffirm
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 | English |
|---|---|---|
| yo | reafirmo | I reaffirm |
| tú | reafirmas | you reaffirm |
| vos | reafirmás | you reaffirm |
| él/ella/Ud. | reafirma | he/she/it reaffirms |
| nosotros | reafirmamos | we reaffirm |
| vosotros | reafirmáis | you (pl.) reaffirm |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | reafirman | they reaffirm |
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 | English |
|---|---|---|
