Acarrear conjugation
Table of Contents
Acarrear is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to transport, carry”.
Below are all of the conjugations for acarrear 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.

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

Acarrear Presente / Present

| Él / Ella / Usted | acarrea |
| Nosotros / as | acarreamos |

Acarrear Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I transported” or “she transported” 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.

| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | acarrearon | They / you transported |
| Vos | acarreaste | You transported |
Acarrear Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was transporting” or “she was transporting” 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 | acarreaba | I was transporting |
| Tú | acarreabas | You were transporting |
| Él / Ella / Usted | acarreaba | He was / she was / you were transporting |

| Vosotros / as | acarreabais | You were transporting |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | acarreaban | They / you were transporting |
| Vos | acarreabas | You were transporting |
Acarrear 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 transported” and “she has transported”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he acarreado | I have transported |
| Tú | has acarreado | You have transported |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha acarreado | He has / she has / you have transported |
| Nosotros / as | hemos acarreado | We have transported |
| Vosotros / as | habéis acarreado | You have transported |

The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would transport” or “she would transport”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | acarrearía | I would transport |
| Tú | acarrearías | You would transport |
| Él / Ella / Usted | acarrearía | He / she / you would transport |

Acarrear Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will transport” or “they will transport”.

|---|---|---|
| Yo | acarrearé | I will transport |
| Tú | acarrearás | You will transport |
