Barnizar conjugation
Table of Contents
Barnizar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to varnish, lacquer”.
Below are all of the conjugations for barnizar 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.

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

Barnizar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto

| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | barnizaba | I was varnishing |
| Tú | barnizabas | You were varnishing |

In English, these use the auxiliary verbs ‘have’ and ‘has’ – i.e. “I have varnished” and “she has varnished”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |

| Yo | he barnizado | I have varnished |
| Tú | has barnizado | You have varnished |
