Deplorar conjugation
Table of Contents
Deplorar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to deplore, lament”.
Below are all of the conjugations for deplorar 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.

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

| Participio / Past Participle | deplorado |
Deplorar 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.
Deplorar 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 deplore” or “they deplore”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | deploro |
| Tú | deploras |
| Él / Ella / Usted | deplora |
| Nosotros / as | deploramos |
| Vosotros / as | deploráis |

Deplorar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I deplored” or “she deplored” 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 | deploré | I deplored |
| Tú | deploraste | You deplored |
| Él / Ella / Usted | deploró | He / she / you deplored |

| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | deploraron | They / you deplored |
| Vos | deploraste | You deplored |
Deplorar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was deploring” or “she was deploring” 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 | deploraba | I was deploring |
| Tú | deplorabas | You were deploring |
| Él / Ella / Usted | deploraba | He was / she was / you were deploring |

| Vosotros / as | deplorabais | You were deploring |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | deploraban | They / you were deploring |
| Vos | deplorabas | You were deploring |
Deplorar 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 deplored” and “she has deplored”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he deplorado | I have deplored |
| Tú | has deplorado | You have deplored |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha deplorado | He has / she has / you have deplored |
| Nosotros / as | hemos deplorado | We have deplored |

| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han deplorado | They / you have deplored |
| Vos | has deplorado | You have deplored |

The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would deplore” or “she would deplore”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | deploraría | I would deplore |
| Tú | deplorarías | You would deplore |
| Él / Ella / Usted | deploraría | He / she / you would deplore |

| Vosotros / as | deploraríais | You would deplore |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | deplorarían | They / you would deplore |

Deplorar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will deplore” or “they will deplore”.
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 deplorar” means “They are going to deplore”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | deploraré | I will deplore |
| Tú | deplorarás | You will deplore |
| Él / Ella / Usted | deplorará | He / she / you will deplore |
