Abrigar conjugation
Table of Contents
Abrigar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to shelter, protect, wrap up”.
Below are all of the conjugations for abrigar 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.

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

| Pronoun | Spanish | English |

| Yo | he abrigado | I have sheltered |
| Tú | has abrigado | You have sheltered |
