Entrar conjugation
Table of Contents
Entrar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to enter”.
Below are all of the conjugations for entrar 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.
Entrar Infinitive
| English Infinitive | to enter |
|---|---|
| Spanish Infinitive | entrar |
Entrar Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está entrando) and past continuous (estaba entrando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. entering).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he entrado and hubiera entrado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have entered).
| Gerundio / Gerund | entrando |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | entrado |
Entrar 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.
Entrar 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 enter” or “they enter”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | entro |
| Tú | entras |
| Él / Ella / Usted | entra |
| Nosotros / as | entramos |
| Vosotros / as | entráis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | entran |
| Vos | entrás |
Entrar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I entered” or “she entered” 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 | entré | I entered |
| Tú | entraste | You entered |
| Él / Ella / Usted | entró | He / she / you entered |
| Nosotros / as | entramos | We entered |
| Vosotros / as | entrasteis | You entered |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | entraron | They / you entered |
| Vos | entraste | You entered |
Entrar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was entering” or “she was entering” 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 | entraba | I was entering |
| Tú | entrabas | You were entering |
| Él / Ella / Usted | entraba | He was / she was / you were entering |
| Nosotros / as | entrábamos | We were entering |
| Vosotros / as | entrabais | You were entering |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | entraban | They / you were entering |
| Vos | entrabas | You were entering |
Entrar 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 entered” and “she has entered”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he entrado | I have entered |
| Tú | has entrado | You have entered |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha entrado | He has / she has / you have entered |
| Nosotros / as | hemos entrado | We have entered |
| Vosotros / as | habéis entrado | You have entered |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han entrado | They / you have entered |
| Vos | has entrado | You have entered |
Entrar Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would enter” or “she would enter”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | entraría | I would enter |
| Tú | entrarías | You would enter |
| Él / Ella / Usted | entraría | He / she / you would enter |
| Nosotros / as | entraríamos | We would enter |
| Vosotros / as | entraríais | You would enter |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | entrarían | They / you would enter |
| Vos | entrarías | You would enter |
Entrar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will enter” or “they will enter”.
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 entrar” means “They are going to enter”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | entraré | I will enter |
| Tú | entrarás | You will enter |
| Él / Ella / Usted | entrará | He / she / you will enter |
| Nosotros / as | entraremos | We will enter |
