Concretar conjugation
Table of Contents
Concretar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to summarize, specify”.
Below are all of the conjugations for concretar 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.

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

Concretar 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.
Concretar 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 summarize” or “they summarize”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | concreto |
| Tú | concretas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concreta |
| Nosotros / as | concretamos |
| Vosotros / as | concretáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | concretan |

Concretar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I summarized” or “she summarized” 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 | concreté | I summarized |
| Tú | concretaste | You summarized |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concretó | He / she / you summarized |
| Nosotros / as | concretamos | We summarized |
| Vosotros / as | concretasteis | You summarized |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | concretaron | They / you summarized |
| Vos | concretaste | You summarized |
Concretar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was summarizing” or “she was summarizing” 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 | concretaba | I was summarizing |
| Tú | concretabas | You were summarizing |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concretaba | He was / she was / you were summarizing |
| Nosotros / as | concretábamos | We were summarizing |
| Vosotros / as | concretabais | You were summarizing |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | concretaban | They / you were summarizing |
| Vos | concretabas | You were summarizing |
Concretar 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 summarized” and “she has summarized”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he concretado | I have summarized |
| Tú | has concretado | You have summarized |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha concretado | He has / she has / you have summarized |
| Nosotros / as | hemos concretado | We have summarized |
| Vosotros / as | habéis concretado | You have summarized |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han concretado | They / you have summarized |
| Vos | has concretado | You have summarized |

The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would summarize” or “she would summarize”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | concretaría | I would summarize |
| Tú | concretarías | You would summarize |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concretaría | He / she / you would summarize |
| Nosotros / as | concretaríamos | We would summarize |
| Vosotros / as | concretaríais | You would summarize |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | concretarían | They / you would summarize |
| Vos | concretarías | You would summarize |
Concretar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will summarize” or “they will summarize”.
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 concretar” means “They are going to summarize”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | concretaré | I will summarize |
| Tú | concretarás | You will summarize |
| Él / Ella / Usted | concretará | He / she / you will summarize |
