Intranquilizarse is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to get restless or uneasy”.
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 intranquilizo) or after the infinitive (e.g. Él tiene que intranquilizarse).
Below are all of the conjugations for intranquilizarse 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.

| Spanish Infinitive | intranquilizarse |
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está intranquilizándose) and past continuous (estaba intranquilizándose). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. getting restless).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he intranquilizado and hubiera intranquilizado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have gotten restless).
| Gerundio / Gerund | intranquilizándose |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | intranquilizado |
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 get restless” or “they get restless”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | me intranquilizo |
| Tú | te intranquilizas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se intranquiliza |
| Nosotros / as | nos intranquilizamos |
| Vosotros / as | os intranquilizáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se intranquilizan |
| Vos | intranquilizás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I got restless” or “she got restless” 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 intranquilicé | I got restless |
| Tú | te intranquilizaste | You got restless |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se intranquilizó | He / she / you got restless |
| Nosotros / as | nos intranquilizamos | We got restless |
| Vosotros / as | os intranquilizasteis | You got restless |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se intranquilizaron | They / you got restless |
| Vos | te intranquilizaste | You got restless |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was getting restless” or “she was getting restless” 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 intranquilizaba | I was getting restless |
| Tú | te intranquilizabas | You were getting restless |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se intranquilizaba | He was / she was / you were getting restless |
| Nosotros / as | nos intranquilizábamos | We were getting restless |
| Vosotros / as | os intranquilizabais | You were getting restless |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se intranquilizaban | They / you were getting restless |
| Vos | te intranquilizabas | You were getting restless |
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 gotten restless” and “she has gotten restless”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me he intranquilizado | I have gotten restless |
| Tú | te has intranquilizado | You have gotten restless |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se ha intranquilizado | He has / she has / you have gotten restless |
| Nosotros / as | nos hemos intranquilizado | We have gotten restless |
| Vosotros / as | os habéis intranquilizado | You have gotten restless |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se han intranquilizado | They / you have gotten restless |
| Vos | te has intranquilizado | You have gotten restless |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would get restless” or “she would get restless”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me intranquilizaría | I would get restless |
| Tú | te intranquilizarías | You would get restless |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se intranquilizaría | He / she / you would get restless |
| Nosotros / as | nos intranquilizaríamos | We would get restless |
| Vosotros / as | os intranquilizaríais | You would get restless |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se intranquilizarían | They / you would get restless |
| Vos | te intranquilizarías | You would get restless |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will get restless” or “they will get restless”.
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 intranquilizarse” means “They are going to get restless”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | me intranquilizaré | I will get restless |
| Tú | te intranquilizarás | You will get restless |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se intranquilizará | He / she / you will get restless |
| Nosotros / as | nos intranquilizaremos | We will get restless |
| Vosotros / as | os intranquilizaréis | You will get restless |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se intranquilizarán | They / you will get restless |
| Vos | te intranquilizarás | You will get restless |

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 intranquilizara | me intranquilizase |
| Tú | te intranquilizaras | me intranquilizase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se intranquilizara | se intranquilizase |
| Nosotros / as | nos intranquilizáramos | nos intranquilizásemos |
| Vosotros / as | os intranquilizarais | os intranquilizaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se intranquilizaran | se intranquilizasen |
| Vos | te intranquilizaras | me intranquilizase |
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 | me intranquilizare |
| Tú | te intranquilizares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | se intranquilizare |

| Vosotros / as | os intranquilizareis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | se intranquilizaren |
| Vos | te intranquilizares |
