Centralizar conjugation - to centralize

Table of Contents

Centralizar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to centralize”.

Below are all of the conjugations for centralizar 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.

Centralizar Gerund and Past Participle

The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está centralizando) and past continuous (estaba centralizando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. centralizing).

The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he centralizado and hubiera centralizado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have centralized).

Centralizar 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 centralized” and “she has centralized”.

Centralizar Conditional / Condicional

The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will centralize” or “they will centralize”.
