reconsiderar — Spanish conjugation
to reconsider (to consider a decided matter again)
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 | reconsidero | I reconsider |
| tú | reconsideras | you reconsider |
| vos | reconsiderás | you reconsider |
| él/ella/Ud. | reconsidera | he/she/it reconsiders |
| nosotros | reconsideramos | we reconsider |
| vosotros | reconsideráis | you (pl.) reconsider |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | reconsideran | they reconsider |
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 |
|---|---|---|
| yo | reconsideré | I reconsidered |
| tú | reconsideraste | you reconsidered |
| vos | reconsideraste | you reconsidered |
| él/ella/Ud. | reconsideró | he/she/it reconsidered |

| ellos/ellas/Uds. | reconsideraron | they reconsidered |
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.

| Pronoun | Spanish |
