Asechar conjugation
Table of Contents
Asechar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to trap, snare”.
Below are all of the conjugations for asechar 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.

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

Asechar Presente / Present

| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | asecho |

| Él / Ella / Usted | asecha |

Asechar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I trapped” or “she trapped” in English.

| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | asecharon | They / you trapped |
| Vos | asechaste | You trapped |
Asechar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto

| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | asechaba | I was trapping |
| Tú | asechabas | You were trapping |

| Vosotros / as | asechabais | You were trapping |

| Vos | asechabas | You were trapping |
Asechar 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 trapped” and “she has trapped”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he asechado | I have trapped |
| Tú | has asechado | You have trapped |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha asechado | He has / she has / you have trapped |
| Nosotros / as | hemos asechado | We have trapped |

The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would trap” or “she would trap”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | asecharía | I would trap |
| Tú | asecharías | You would trap |

|---|---|---|
| Yo | asecharé | I will trap |
