Aseverar conjugation
Table of Contents
Aseverar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to assert”.
Below are all of the conjugations for aseverar 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.

| Spanish Infinitive | aseverar |
Aseverar Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está aseverando) and past continuous (estaba aseverando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. asserting).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he aseverado and hubiera aseverado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have asserted).
| Gerundio / Gerund | aseverando |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | aseverado |
Aseverar 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.
Aseverar 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 assert” or “they assert”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | asevero |
| Tú | aseveras |
| Él / Ella / Usted | asevera |
| Nosotros / as | aseveramos |
| Vosotros / as | aseveráis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | aseveran |
| Vos | aseverás |
Aseverar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I asserted” or “she asserted” 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 | aseveré | I asserted |
| Tú | aseveraste | You asserted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | aseveró | He / she / you asserted |
| Nosotros / as | aseveramos | We asserted |
| Vosotros / as | aseverasteis | You asserted |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | aseveraron | They / you asserted |
| Vos | aseveraste | You asserted |
Aseverar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was asserting” or “she was asserting” 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 | aseveraba | I was asserting |
| Tú | aseverabas | You were asserting |
| Él / Ella / Usted | aseveraba | He was / she was / you were asserting |
| Nosotros / as | aseverábamos | We were asserting |
| Vosotros / as | aseverabais | You were asserting |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | aseveraban | They / you were asserting |
| Vos | aseverabas | You were asserting |
Aseverar 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 asserted” and “she has asserted”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he aseverado | I have asserted |
| Tú | has aseverado | You have asserted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha aseverado | He has / she has / you have asserted |
| Nosotros / as | hemos aseverado | We have asserted |
| Vosotros / as | habéis aseverado | You have asserted |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han aseverado | They / you have asserted |
| Vos | has aseverado | You have asserted |
Aseverar Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would assert” or “she would assert”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | aseveraría | I would assert |
| Tú | aseverarías | You would assert |
| Él / Ella / Usted | aseveraría | He / she / you would assert |
| Nosotros / as | aseveraríamos | We would assert |
| Vosotros / as | aseveraríais | You would assert |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | aseverarían | They / you would assert |
| Vos | aseverarías | You would assert |
Aseverar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will assert” or “they will assert”.
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 aseverar” means “They are going to assert”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | aseveraré | I will assert |
| Tú | aseverarás | You will assert |
| Él / Ella / Usted | aseverará | He / she / you will assert |
