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

PronounSpanish
yome vengo
te vengas
voste vengás
él/ella/Ud.se venga
nosotrosnos vengamos
vosotrosos vengáis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se vengan

Preterite (Pretérito indefinido) Irregular

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
yome vengué
te vengaste
voste vengaste
él/ella/Ud.se vengó
nosotrosnos vengamos
vosotrosos vengasteis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se vengaron

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
yome vengaba
te vengabas
voste vengabas
él/ella/Ud.se vengaba
nosotrosnos vengábamos
vosotrosos vengabais
ellos/ellas/Uds.se vengaban

Conditional (Condicional) Regular

Expresses hypothetical actions, polite requests, and what would happen under certain conditions. Also used for reported speech about the future from a past perspective.

¿Podrías ayudarme? — Could you help me?

PronounSpanish
yome vengaría
te vengarías
voste vengarías
él/ella/Ud.se vengaría
nosotrosnos vengaríamos
vosotrosos vengaríais
ellos/ellas/Uds.se vengarían

Future (Futuro) Regular

Expresses future actions, predictions, and probability about the present. Formed with the full infinitive as stem for most verbs. In spoken Spanish, ir a + infinitive is often preferred for near future.

Ella hablará en conferencia mañana — She will speak at the conference tomorrow

PronounSpanish
yome vengaré
te vengarás

él/ella/Ud.se vengará
nosotrosnos vengaremos
vosotrosos vengaréis
ellos/ellas/Uds.se vengarán

Present perfect (Pretérito perfecto) Regular

A compound past tense linking a past action to the present moment — something that has happened and still feels recent or relevant. More common in Spain than Latin America where preterite is preferred.

Hoy he hablado con el jefe — Today I have spoken with the boss

PronounSpanish
yome he vengado
te has vengado
voste has vengado
él/ella/Ud.se ha vengado
nosotrosnos hemos vengado
vosotrosos habéis vengado
ellos/ellas/Uds.se han vengado

Pluperfect (Pretérito pluscuamperfecto) Regular

The past of the past — describes an action that was already completed before another past event happened. Always implies a reference point in the past.

PronounSpanish
yome había vengado
te habías vengado
voste habías vengado
él/ella/Ud.se había vengado

yome habría vengado
te habrías vengado
voste habrías vengado
él/ella/Ud.se habría vengado

Subjunctive

Present subjunctive (Subjuntivo presente) Irregular

Used in subordinate clauses after expressions of desire, doubt, emotion, necessity, or impersonal statements. Triggered by a change of subject between the main and subordinate clause.

PronounSpanish
yome vengue
te vengues

Imperfect subjunctive (-ra) (Subjuntivo imperfecto (-ra)) Regular

te vengaras
voste vengaras
él/ella/Ud.se vengara

Other forms

Present progressive (Presente progresivo) Regular

Emphasises that an action is happening right now at this very moment. Less common than in English since the present tense already covers ongoing actions in Spanish.

te estás vengando
voste estás vengando
él/ella/Ud.se está vengando
nosotrosnos estamos vengando
vosotrosos estáis vengando

yome estuve vengando
te estuviste vengando
voste estuviste vengando

nosotrosnos estuvimos vengando
vosotrosos estuvisteis vengando
ellos/ellas/Uds.se estuvieron vengando

Imperfect progressive (Pretérito imperfecto progresivo) Regular
