Amueblar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to furnish”.
Below are all of the conjugations for amueblar 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.
| English Infinitive | to furnish |

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

| Participio / Past Participle | amueblado |
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 furnish” or “they furnish”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | amueblo |
| Tú | amueblas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amuebla |
| Nosotros / as | amueblamos |
| Vosotros / as | amuebláis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amueblan |
| Vos | amueblás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I furnished” or “she furnished” 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 | amueblé | I furnished |
| Tú | amueblaste | You furnished |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amuebló | He / she / you furnished |
| Nosotros / as | amueblamos | We furnished |
| Vosotros / as | amueblasteis | You furnished |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amueblaron | They / you furnished |
| Vos | amueblaste | You furnished |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was furnishing” or “she was furnishing” 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 | amueblaba | I was furnishing |
| Tú | amueblabas | You were furnishing |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amueblaba | He was / she was / you were furnishing |
| Nosotros / as | amueblábamos | We were furnishing |
| Vosotros / as | amueblabais | You were furnishing |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amueblaban | They / you were furnishing |
| Vos | amueblabas | You were furnishing |
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 furnished” and “she has furnished”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he amueblado | I have furnished |
| Tú | has amueblado | You have furnished |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha amueblado | He has / she has / you have furnished |
| Nosotros / as | hemos amueblado | We have furnished |
| Vosotros / as | habéis amueblado | You have furnished |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han amueblado | They / you have furnished |
| Vos | has amueblado | You have furnished |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would furnish” or “she would furnish”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | amueblaría | I would furnish |
| Tú | amueblarías | You would furnish |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amueblaría | He / she / you would furnish |
| Nosotros / as | amueblaríamos | We would furnish |
| Vosotros / as | amueblaríais | You would furnish |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amueblarían | They / you would furnish |
| Vos | amueblarías | You would furnish |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will furnish” or “they will furnish”.
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 amueblar” means “They are going to furnish”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | amueblaré | I will furnish |
| Tú | amueblarás | You will furnish |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amueblará | He / she / you will furnish |
| Nosotros / as | amueblaremos | We will furnish |
| Vosotros / as | amueblaréis | You will furnish |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amueblarán | They / you will furnish |
| Vos | amueblarás | You will furnish |
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | amueble |

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 | amueblara | amueblase |
| Tú | amueblaras | amueblase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amueblara | amueblase |
| Nosotros / as | amuebláramos | amueblásemos |
| Vosotros / as | amueblarais | amueblaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amueblaran | amueblasen |
| Vos | amueblaras | amueblase |
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.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | amueblare |
| Tú | amueblares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | amueblare |
| Nosotros / as | amuebláremos |
| Vosotros / as | amueblareis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | amueblaren |
| Vos | amueblares |
