Comerciar conjugation
Table of Contents
Comerciar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to trade, deal”.
Below are all of the conjugations for comerciar 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.

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

Comerciar 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.
Comerciar 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 trade” or “they trade”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | comercio |
| Tú | comercias |
| Él / Ella / Usted | comercia |
| Nosotros / as | comerciamos |
| Vosotros / as | comerciáis |

Comerciar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I traded” or “she traded” 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 | comercié | I traded |
| Tú | comerciaste | You traded |
| Él / Ella / Usted | comerció | He / she / you traded |
| Nosotros / as | comerciamos | We traded |
| Vosotros / as | comerciasteis | You traded |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | comerciaron | They / you traded |
| Vos | comerciaste | You traded |
Comerciar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was trading” or “she was trading” 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 | comerciaba | I was trading |
| Tú | comerciabas | You were trading |
| Él / Ella / Usted | comerciaba | He was / she was / you were trading |
| Nosotros / as | comerciábamos | We were trading |
| Vosotros / as | comerciabais | You were trading |

| Vos | comerciabas | You were trading |
Comerciar 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 traded” and “she has traded”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he comerciado | I have traded |
| Tú | has comerciado | You have traded |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha comerciado | He has / she has / you have traded |

| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | comerciaría | I would trade |
| Tú | comerciarías | You would trade |
| Él / Ella / Usted | comerciaría | He / she / you would trade |
| Nosotros / as | comerciaríamos | We would trade |

| Vos | comerciarías | You would trade |
Comerciar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will trade” or “they will trade”.
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 comerciar” means “They are going to trade”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | comerciaré | I will trade |
| Tú | comerciarás | You will trade |
