Frequency#1725Irregular

Indicative

Present (Presente) Irregular

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

PronounSpanish
yoreencuentro
reencuentras
vosreencontrás
él/ella/Ud.reencuentra
nosotrosreencontramos
vosotrosreencontráis
ellos/ellas/Uds.reencuentran

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

PronounSpanish
yoreencontré
reencontraste
vosreencontraste
él/ella/Ud.reencontró
nosotrosreencontramos
vosotrosreencontrasteis
ellos/ellas/Uds.reencontraron

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

PronounSpanish
yoreencontraba
reencontrabas
vosreencontrabas
él/ella/Ud.reencontraba
nosotrosreencontrábamos
vosotrosreencontrabais

vosreencontrarías
él/ella/Ud.reencontraría
nosotrosreencontraríamos
vosotrosreencontraríais
ellos/ellas/Uds.reencontrarían

PronounSpanish
yohe reencontrado
has reencontrado
voshas reencontrado
