Facilitar conjugation
Table of Contents
Facilitar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to facilitate, expedite”.
Below are all of the conjugations for facilitar 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.

|---|---|
| Spanish Infinitive | facilitar |
Facilitar Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está facilitando) and past continuous (estaba facilitando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. facilitated).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he facilitated and hubiera facilitated. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have facilitating).
| Gerundio / Gerund | facilitando |

| Participio / Past Participle | facilitated |
Facilitar 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.
Facilitar 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 facilitate” or “they facilitate”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | facilito |
| Tú | facilitas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facilita |
| Nosotros / as | facilitamos |
| Vosotros / as | facilitáis |

Facilitar Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I facilitate” or “she facilitate” 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 | facilité | I facilitate |
| Tú | facilitaste | You facilitate |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facilitó | He / she / you facilitate |
| Nosotros / as | facilitamos | We facilitate |
| Vosotros / as | facilitasteis | You facilitate |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facilitaron | They / you facilitate |
| Vos | facilitaste | You facilitate |
Facilitar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was facilitated” or “she was facilitated” 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 | facilitaba | I was facilitated |
| Tú | facilitabas | You were facilitated |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facilitaba | He was / she was / you were facilitated |
| Nosotros / as | facilitábamos | We were facilitated |
| Vosotros / as | facilitabais | You were facilitated |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facilitaban | They / you were facilitated |
| Vos | facilitabas | You were facilitated |
Facilitar 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 facilitating” and “she has facilitating”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he facilitated | I have facilitating |
| Tú | has facilitated | You have facilitating |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha facilitated | He has / she has / you have facilitating |
| Nosotros / as | hemos facilitated | We have facilitating |
| Vosotros / as | habéis facilitated | You have facilitating |

The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would facilitate” or “she would facilitate”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.

|---|---|---|
| Yo | facilitaría | I would facilitate |
| Tú | facilitarías | You would facilitate |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facilitaría | He / she / you would facilitate |
| Nosotros / as | facilitaríamos | We would facilitate |
| Vosotros / as | facilitaríais | You would facilitate |

| Vos | facilitarías | You would facilitate |
Facilitar Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will facilitate” or “they will facilitate”.
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 facilitar” means “They are going to facilitate”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | facilitaré | I will facilitate |
| Tú | facilitarás | You will facilitate |
