Abstraer conjugation
Table of Contents
Abstraer is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to abstract”.
Below are all of the conjugations for abstraer 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.
Abstraer Infinitive

|---|---|
| Spanish Infinitive | abstraer |
Abstraer Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está abstrayendo) and past continuous (estaba abstrayendo). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. abstracting).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he abstraído and hubiera abstraído. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have abstracted).
| Gerundio / Gerund | abstrayendo |

| Participio / Past Participle | abstraído |
Abstraer Indicative Conjugations
The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
Abstraer Presente / Present
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 abstract” or “they abstract”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | abstraigo |
| Tú | abstraes |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abstrae |
| Nosotros / as | abstraemos |
| Vosotros / as | abstraéis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | abstraen |
| Vos | te abstraés |
Abstraer Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I abstracted” or “she abstracted” 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 | abstraje | I abstracted |
| Tú | abstrajiste | You abstracted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abstrajo | He / she / you abstracted |
| Nosotros / as | abstrajimos | We abstracted |
| Vosotros / as | abstrajisteis | You abstracted |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | abstrajeron | They / you abstracted |
| Vos | abstrajiste | You abstracted |
Abstraer Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was abstracting” or “she was abstracting” 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 | abstraía | I was abstracting |
| Tú | abstraías | You were abstracting |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abstraía | He was / she was / you were abstracting |
| Nosotros / as | abstraíamos | We were abstracting |
| Vosotros / as | abstraíais | You were abstracting |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | abstraían | They / you were abstracting |
| Vos | abstraías | You were abstracting |
Abstraer Perfect / Perfecto
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 abstracted” and “she has abstracted”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he abstraído | I have abstracted |
| Tú | has abstraído | You have abstracted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha abstraído | He has / she has / you have abstracted |
| Nosotros / as | hemos abstraído | We have abstracted |
| Vosotros / as | habéis abstraído | You have abstracted |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han abstraído | They / you have abstracted |
| Vos | has abstraído | You have abstracted |
Abstraer Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would abstract” or “she would abstract”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | abstraería | I would abstract |
| Tú | abstraerías | You would abstract |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abstraería | He / she / you would abstract |
| Nosotros / as | abstraeríamos | We would abstract |
| Vosotros / as | abstraeríais | You would abstract |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | abstraerían | They / you would abstract |
| Vos | abstraerías | You would abstract |
Abstraer Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will abstract” or “they will abstract”.
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 abstraer” means “They are going to abstract”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | abstraeré | I will abstract |
| Tú | abstraerás | You will abstract |
| Él / Ella / Usted | abstraerá | He / she / you will abstract |
| Nosotros / as | abstraeremos | We will abstract |
