Ofrecer conjugation
Table of Contents
Ofrecer is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to offer”.
Below are all of the conjugations for ofrecer in Spanish, in all three moods (indicative/indicativo, subjunctive/subjunctivo and imperative/imperativo) and all of the tenses, for each pronoun.
The vosotros pronoun is mainly used in mainland Spain, and is the informal second-person plural – it could be considered the Spanish version of “y’all”. It is rarely found in Latin America, where ustedes is used instead.
The vos form is used instead of tú in some Spanish speaking countries of South America, especially the Southern Cone (e.g. Argentina and Uruguay) and has a different conjugation.

Ofrecer Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está ofreciendo) and past continuous (estaba ofreciendo). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. offering).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he ofrecido and hubiera ofrecido. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have offered).

Ofrecer Indicative Conjugations
The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
Ofrecer Presente / Present
The present tense is as it sounds – it’s for talking about things that are currently going on, which are habitual, or which generally exist. In English, this would be “I offer” or “they offer”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | ofrezco |
| Tú | ofreces |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ofrece |
| Nosotros / as | ofrecemos |
| Vosotros / as | ofrecéis |

Ofrecer Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I offered” or “she offered” in English.
In Spanish, there are two past tenses where just one is used in English; the pretérite infefinido is typically used to refer to a concrete, specific moment in time.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | ofrecí | I offered |
| Tú | ofreciste | You offered |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ofreció | He / she / you offered |
| Nosotros / as | ofrecimos | We offered |
| Vosotros / as | ofrecisteis | You offered |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | ofrecieron | They / you offered |
| Vos | ofreciste | You offered |
Ofrecer Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was offering” or “she was offering” in English, and is typically used to describe things and set a scene, talk about events without a specific timeframe, or talk about habitual events or states in the past.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | ofrecía | I was offering |
| Tú | ofrecías | You were offering |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ofrecía | He was / she was / you were offering |
| Nosotros / as | ofrecíamos | We were offering |
| Vosotros / as | ofrecíais | You were offering |

| Vos | ofrecías | You were offering |
Ofrecer Perfect / Perfecto
The perfect tense is for talking about things which happened in the past but are still related to the present or continue into the present.
In English, these use the auxiliary verbs ‘have’ and ‘has’ – i.e. “I have offered” and “she has offered”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he ofrecido | I have offered |
| Tú | has ofrecido | You have offered |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha ofrecido | He has / she has / you have offered |

| Yo | ofrecería | I would offer |
| Tú | ofrecerías | You would offer |
