Conceder conjugation
Table of Contents
Conceder is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to grant, admit, agree upon”.
Below are all of the conjugations for conceder 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.

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

| Participio / Past Participle | concedido |
Conceder 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.
Conceder 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 grant” or “they grant”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |

| Yo | concedo |
| Tú | concedes |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concede |
| Nosotros / as | concedemos |
| Vosotros / as | concedéis |

Conceder Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I granted” or “she granted” 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 | concedí | I granted |
| Tú | concediste | You granted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concedió | He / she / you granted |
| Nosotros / as | concedimos | We granted |
| Vosotros / as | concedisteis | You granted |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | concedieron | They / you granted |
| Vos | concediste | You granted |
Conceder Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was granting” or “she was granting” 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 | concedía | I was granting |
| Tú | concedías | You were granting |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concedía | He was / she was / you were granting |
| Nosotros / as | concedíamos | We were granting |
| Vosotros / as | concedíais | You were granting |

| Vos | concedías | You were granting |
Conceder 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 granted” and “she has granted”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he concedido | I have granted |
| Tú | has concedido | You have granted |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha concedido | He has / she has / you have granted |

|---|---|---|
| Yo | concedería | I would grant |
| Tú | concederías | You would grant |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concedería | He / she / you would grant |

| Vos | concederías | You would grant |
Conceder Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will grant” or “they will grant”.
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 conceder” means “They are going to grant”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | concederé | I will grant |
| Tú | concederás | You will grant |
