Enorgullecerse is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to be proud of”.
It’s a reflexive verb, which means the subject performs the action upon themselves – e.g. “I wake myself”.
Reflexive verbs always carry a reflexive pronoun – me, te, se, nos or os – which is often placed before the conjugated verb (e.g. me enorgullezco) or after the infinitive (e.g. Él tiene que enorgullecerse).
Below are all of the conjugations for enorgullecerse 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.

The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está enorgulleciéndose) and past continuous (estaba enorgulleciéndose). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. being proud of).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he enorgullecido and hubiera enorgullecido. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have been proud of).

The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
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 be proud of” or “they be proud of”.

Your simple past tense, e.g. “I was proud of” or “she was proud of” 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 | me enorgullecí | I was proud of |
Tú | te enorgulleciste | You was proud of |
Él / Ella / Usted | se enorgulleció | He / she / you was proud of |

Vosotros / as | os enorgullecisteis | You was proud of |
Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se enorgullecieron | They / you was proud of |
Vos | te enorgulleciste | You was proud of |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was being proud of” or “she was being proud of” 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 | me enorgullecía | I was being proud of |
Tú | te enorgullecías | You were being proud of |

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 been proud of” and “she has been proud of”.

---|---|---|
Yo | me he enorgullecido | I have been proud of |
Tú | te has enorgullecido | You have been proud of |

Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se han enorgullecido | They / you have been proud of |
Vos | te has enorgullecido | You have been proud of |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would be proud of” or “she would be proud of”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.

The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will be proud of” or “they will be proud of”.
It is more commonly used for making a hypothesis about the present. To talk about the future, Spanish speakers frequently use “ir + a + infinivo”, e.g. “van a enorgullecerse” means “They are going to be proud of”.

There are two ways to form the imperfect subjunctive.
The first option sees verbs ending in -era (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ara (for -ar verbs), while the second sees verbs ending in -ese (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ase (for -ar verbs).
There is no difference between these two forms, and Spanish speakers use them interchangeably.
Pronoun | Spanish era/ara | Spanish ese/ase |
---|---|---|
Yo | me enorgulleciera | me enorgulleciese |
Tú | te enorgullecieras | me enorgulleciese |
Él / Ella / Usted | se enorgulleciera | se enorgulleciese |
Nosotros / as | nos enorgulleciéramos | nos enorgulleciésemos |
Vosotros / as | os enorgullecierais | os enorgullecieseis |
Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se enorgullecieran | se enorgulleciesen |
Vos | te enorgullecieras | me enorgulleciese |
The future subjunctive is no longer used in modern-day Spanish, apart from in literary and legal contexts, and there is no need to learn it.
It is formed the same as the past/imperfect subjunctive, but with -e endings instead of -a endings.
