Amplificar conjugation
Table of Contents
Amplificar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to amplify, enlarge”.
Below are all of the conjugations for amplificar 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.

Amplificar Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está amplificando) and past continuous (estaba amplificando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. amplifying).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he amplificado and hubiera amplificado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have amplified).
| Gerundio / Gerund | amplificando |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | amplificado |
Amplificar 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.
Amplificar 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 amplify” or “they amplify”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | amplifico |
| Tú | amplificas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amplifica |
| Nosotros / as | amplificamos |
| Vosotros / as | amplificáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amplifican |

Amplificar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I amplified” or “she amplified” 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 | amplifiqué | I amplified |
| Tú | amplificaste | You amplified |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amplificó | He / she / you amplified |
| Nosotros / as | amplificamos | We amplified |
| Vosotros / as | amplificasteis | You amplified |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amplificaron | They / you amplified |
| Vos | amplificaste | You amplified |
Amplificar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was amplifying” or “she was amplifying” 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 | amplificaba | I was amplifying |
| Tú | amplificabas | You were amplifying |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amplificaba | He was / she was / you were amplifying |
| Nosotros / as | amplificábamos | We were amplifying |
| Vosotros / as | amplificabais | You were amplifying |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amplificaban | They / you were amplifying |
| Vos | amplificabas | You were amplifying |
Amplificar 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 amplified” and “she has amplified”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he amplificado | I have amplified |
| Tú | has amplificado | You have amplified |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha amplificado | He has / she has / you have amplified |
| Nosotros / as | hemos amplificado | We have amplified |
| Vosotros / as | habéis amplificado | You have amplified |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han amplificado | They / you have amplified |
| Vos | has amplificado | You have amplified |
Amplificar Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would amplify” or “she would amplify”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | amplificaría | I would amplify |
| Tú | amplificarías | You would amplify |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amplificaría | He / she / you would amplify |
| Nosotros / as | amplificaríamos | We would amplify |
| Vosotros / as | amplificaríais | You would amplify |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amplificarían | They / you would amplify |
| Vos | amplificarías | You would amplify |
Amplificar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will amplify” or “they will amplify”.
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 amplificar” means “They are going to amplify”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | amplificaré | I will amplify |
| Tú | amplificarás | You will amplify |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amplificará | He / she / you will amplify |
