Fumigar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to fumigate”.
Below are all of the conjugations for fumigar 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 fumigando) and past continuous (estaba fumigando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. fumigated).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he fumigated and hubiera fumigated. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have fumigating).
| Gerundio / Gerund | fumigando |

| Participio / Past Participle | fumigated |
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 fumigate” or “they fumigate”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | fumigo |
| Tú | fumigas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumiga |
| Nosotros / as | fumigamos |
| Vosotros / as | fumigáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | fumigan |
| Vos | fumigás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I fumigate” or “she fumigate” 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 | fumigué | I fumigate |
| Tú | fumigaste | You fumigate |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumigó | He / she / you fumigate |
| Nosotros / as | fumigamos | We fumigate |
| Vosotros / as | fumigasteis | You fumigate |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | fumigaron | They / you fumigate |
| Vos | fumigaste | You fumigate |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was fumigated” or “she was fumigated” 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 | fumigaba | I was fumigated |
| Tú | fumigabas | You were fumigated |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumigaba | He was / she was / you were fumigated |
| Nosotros / as | fumigábamos | We were fumigated |
| Vosotros / as | fumigabais | You were fumigated |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | fumigaban | They / you were fumigated |
| Vos | fumigabas | You were fumigated |
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 fumigating” and “she has fumigating”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he fumigated | I have fumigating |
| Tú | has fumigated | You have fumigating |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha fumigated | He has / she has / you have fumigating |
| Nosotros / as | hemos fumigated | We have fumigating |
| Vosotros / as | habéis fumigated | You have fumigating |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han fumigated | They / you have fumigating |
| Vos | has fumigated | You have fumigating |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would fumigate” or “she would fumigate”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | fumigaría | I would fumigate |
| Tú | fumigarías | You would fumigate |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumigaría | He / she / you would fumigate |
| Nosotros / as | fumigaríamos | We would fumigate |
| Vosotros / as | fumigaríais | You would fumigate |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | fumigarían | They / you would fumigate |
| Vos | fumigarías | You would fumigate |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will fumigate” or “they will fumigate”.
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 fumigar” means “They are going to fumigate”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | fumigaré | I will fumigate |
| Tú | fumigarás | You will fumigate |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumigará | He / she / you will fumigate |
| Nosotros / as | fumigaremos | We will fumigate |
| Vosotros / as | fumigaréis | You will fumigate |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | fumigarán | They / you will fumigate |
| Vos | fumigarás | You will fumigate |
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | fumigue |
| Tú | fumigues |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumigue |
| Nosotros / as | fumiguemos |
| Vosotros / as | fumiguéis |

| Vos | fumigues |
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 | fumigara | fumigase |
| Tú | fumigaras | fumigase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumigara | fumigase |
| Nosotros / as | fumigáramos | fumigásemos |
| Vosotros / as | fumigarais | fumigaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | fumigaran | fumigasen |
| Vos | fumigaras | fumigase |
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.

| Yo | fumigare |
| Tú | fumigares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | fumigare |
