Compilar conjugation
Table of Contents
Compilar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to compile”.
Below are all of the conjugations for compilar 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.

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

Compilar 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.
Compilar 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 compile” or “they compile”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | compilo |
| Tú | compilas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | compila |
| Nosotros / as | compilamos |
| Vosotros / as | compiláis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | compilan |

Compilar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I compiled” or “she compiled” 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 | compilé | I compiled |
| Tú | compilaste | You compiled |
| Él / Ella / Usted | compiló | He / she / you compiled |
| Nosotros / as | compilamos | We compiled |
| Vosotros / as | compilasteis | You compiled |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | compilaron | They / you compiled |
| Vos | compilaste | You compiled |
Compilar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was compiling” or “she was compiling” 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 | compilaba | I was compiling |
| Tú | compilabas | You were compiling |
| Él / Ella / Usted | compilaba | He was / she was / you were compiling |
| Nosotros / as | compilábamos | We were compiling |
| Vosotros / as | compilabais | You were compiling |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | compilaban | They / you were compiling |
| Vos | compilabas | You were compiling |
Compilar 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 compiled” and “she has compiled”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he compilado | I have compiled |
| Tú | has compilado | You have compiled |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha compilado | He has / she has / you have compiled |
| Nosotros / as | hemos compilado | We have compiled |

The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would compile” or “she would compile”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | compilaría | I would compile |
| Tú | compilarías | You would compile |
| Él / Ella / Usted | compilaría | He / she / you would compile |
| Nosotros / as | compilaríamos | We would compile |
| Vosotros / as | compilaríais | You would compile |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | compilarían | They / you would compile |
| Vos | compilarías | You would compile |
Compilar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will compile” or “they will compile”.
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 compilar” means “They are going to compile”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | compilaré | I will compile |
| Tú | compilarás | You will compile |
| Él / Ella / Usted | compilará | He / she / you will compile |
