suministrar — Spanish conjugation
to supply
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 | suministro | I supply |
| tú | suministras | you supply |
| vos | suministrás | you supply |
| él/ella/Ud. | suministra | he/she/it supplies |
| nosotros | suministramos | we supply |
| vosotros | suministráis | you (pl.) supply |
| ellos/ellas/Uds. | suministran | they supply |
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 | suministré | I supplied |
| tú | suministraste | you supplied |
| vos | suministraste | you supplied |
| él/ella/Ud. | suministró | he/she/it supplied |

| ellos/ellas/Uds. | suministraron | they supplied |
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.
