Enyesar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to set broken bone in plaster, plaster”.
Below are all of the conjugations for enyesar 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.
| English Infinitive | to set broken bone in plaster, plaster |

| Spanish Infinitive | enyesar |
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está enyesando) and past continuous (estaba enyesando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. setting in plaster).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he enyesado and hubiera enyesado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have set in plaster).
| Gerundio / Gerund | enyesando |

| Participio / Past Participle | enyesado |
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 set in plaster” or “they set in plaster”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | enyeso |
| Tú | enyesas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | enyesa |
| Nosotros / as | enyesamos |
| Vosotros / as | enyesáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | enyesan |
| Vos | enyesás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I set in plaster” or “she set in plaster” 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 | enyesé | I set in plaster |
| Tú | enyesaste | You set in plaster |
| Él / Ella / Usted | enyesó | He / she / you set in plaster |
| Nosotros / as | enyesamos | We set in plaster |
| Vosotros / as | enyesasteis | You set in plaster |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | enyesaron | They / you set in plaster |
| Vos | enyesaste | You set in plaster |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was setting in plaster” or “she was setting in plaster” 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 | enyesaba | I was setting in plaster |
| Tú | enyesabas | You were setting in plaster |
| Él / Ella / Usted | enyesaba | He was / she was / you were setting in plaster |
| Nosotros / as | enyesábamos | We were setting in plaster |
| Vosotros / as | enyesabais | You were setting in plaster |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | enyesaban | They / you were setting in plaster |
| Vos | enyesabas | You were setting in plaster |
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 set in plaster” and “she has set in plaster”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he enyesado | I have set in plaster |
| Tú | has enyesado | You have set in plaster |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha enyesado | He has / she has / you have set in plaster |
| Nosotros / as | hemos enyesado | We have set in plaster |
| Vosotros / as | habéis enyesado | You have set in plaster |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han enyesado | They / you have set in plaster |
| Vos | has enyesado | You have set in plaster |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would set in plaster” or “she would set in plaster”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | enyesaría | I would set in plaster |
| Tú | enyesarías | You would set in plaster |
| Él / Ella / Usted | enyesaría | He / she / you would set in plaster |
| Nosotros / as | enyesaríamos | We would set in plaster |
| Vosotros / as | enyesaríais | You would set in plaster |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | enyesarían | They / you would set in plaster |
| Vos | enyesarías | You would set in plaster |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will set in plaster” or “they will set in plaster”.
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 enyesar” means “They are going to set in plaster”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | enyesaré | I will set in plaster |
| Tú | enyesarás | You will set in plaster |

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 | enyesara | enyesase |
| Tú | enyesaras | enyesase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | enyesara | enyesase |
| Nosotros / as | enyesáramos | enyesásemos |
| Vosotros / as | enyesarais | enyesaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | enyesaran | enyesasen |
| Vos | enyesaras | enyesase |
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.

| Tú | enyesares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | enyesare |
