Coexistir conjugation
Table of Contents
Coexistir is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to coexist”.
Below are all of the conjugations for coexistir 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.

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

Coexistir 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.
Coexistir 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 coexist” or “they coexist”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | coexisto |
| Tú | coexistes |
| Él / Ella / Usted | coexiste |
| Nosotros / as | coexistimos |
| Vosotros / as | coexistís |

Coexistir Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I coexisted” or “she coexisted” 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 | coexistí | I coexisted |
| Tú | coexististe | You coexisted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | coexistió | He / she / you coexisted |
| Nosotros / as | coexistimos | We coexisted |
| Vosotros / as | coexististeis | You coexisted |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | coexistieron | They / you coexisted |
| Vos | coexististe | You coexisted |
Coexistir Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was coexisting” or “she was coexisting” 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 | coexistía | I was coexisting |
| Tú | coexistías | You were coexisting |
| Él / Ella / Usted | coexistía | He was / she was / you were coexisting |

| Vosotros / as | coexistíais | You were coexisting |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | coexistían | They / you were coexisting |
| Vos | coexistías | You were coexisting |
Coexistir 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 coexisted” and “she has coexisted”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he coexistido | I have coexisted |
| Tú | has coexistido | You have coexisted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha coexistido | He has / she has / you have coexisted |
| Nosotros / as | hemos coexistido | We have coexisted |
| Vosotros / as | habéis coexistido | You have coexisted |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han coexistido | They / you have coexisted |
| Vos | has coexistido | You have coexisted |
Coexistir Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would coexist” or “she would coexist”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | coexistiría | I would coexist |
| Tú | coexistirías | You would coexist |
| Él / Ella / Usted | coexistiría | He / she / you would coexist |
| Nosotros / as | coexistiríamos | We would coexist |
| Vosotros / as | coexistiríais | You would coexist |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | coexistirían | They / you would coexist |
| Vos | coexistirías | You would coexist |
Coexistir Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will coexist” or “they will coexist”.
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 coexistir” means “They are going to coexist”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | coexistiré | I will coexist |
| Tú | coexistirás | You will coexist |
| Él / Ella / Usted | coexistirá | He / she / you will coexist |
