remar — Spanish conjugation
to row
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 | remo | I row |
| tú | remas | you row |
| vos | remás | you row |
| él/ella/Ud. | rema | he/she/it rows |
| nosotros | remamos | we row |
| vosotros | remáis | you (pl.) row |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | reman | they row |
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 | remé | I rowed |
| tú | remaste | you rowed |
| vos | remaste | you rowed |
| él/ella/Ud. | remó | he/she/it rowed |

| ellos/ellas/Uds. | remaron | they rowed |
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.
