Facturar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to invoice, bill”.
Below are all of the conjugations for facturar 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.
| English Infinitive | to invoice, bill |

| Spanish Infinitive | facturar |
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está facturando) and past continuous (estaba facturando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. invoiced).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he invoiced and hubiera invoiced. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have invoicing).
| Gerundio / Gerund | facturando |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | invoiced |
The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
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 invoice” or “they invoice”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | facturo |
| Tú | facturas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | factura |
| Nosotros / as | facturamos |
| Vosotros / as | facturáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facturan |
| Vos | facturás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I invoice” or “she invoice” 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 | facturé | I invoice |
| Tú | facturaste | You invoice |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facturó | He / she / you invoice |
| Nosotros / as | facturamos | We invoice |
| Vosotros / as | facturasteis | You invoice |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facturaron | They / you invoice |
| Vos | facturaste | You invoice |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was invoiced” or “she was invoiced” 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 | facturaba | I was invoiced |
| Tú | facturabas | You were invoiced |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facturaba | He was / she was / you were invoiced |
| Nosotros / as | facturábamos | We were invoiced |
| Vosotros / as | facturabais | You were invoiced |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facturaban | They / you were invoiced |
| Vos | facturabas | You were invoiced |
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 invoicing” and “she has invoicing”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he invoiced | I have invoicing |
| Tú | has invoiced | You have invoicing |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha invoiced | He has / she has / you have invoicing |
| Nosotros / as | hemos invoiced | We have invoicing |
| Vosotros / as | habéis invoiced | You have invoicing |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han invoiced | They / you have invoicing |
| Vos | has invoiced | You have invoicing |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would invoice” or “she would invoice”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | facturaría | I would invoice |
| Tú | facturarías | You would invoice |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facturaría | He / she / you would invoice |
| Nosotros / as | facturaríamos | We would invoice |
| Vosotros / as | facturaríais | You would invoice |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facturarían | They / you would invoice |
| Vos | facturarías | You would invoice |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will invoice” or “they will invoice”.
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 facturar” means “They are going to invoice”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | facturaré | I will invoice |
| Tú | facturarás | You will invoice |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facturará | He / she / you will invoice |
| Nosotros / as | facturaremos | We will invoice |
| Vosotros / as | facturaréis | You will invoice |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facturarán | They / you will invoice |
| Vos | facturarás | You will invoice |
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | facture |
| Tú | factures |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facture |
| Nosotros / as | facturemos |
| Vosotros / as | facturéis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facturen |
| Vos | factures |
There are two ways to form the imperfect subjunctive.
The first option sees verbs ending in -era (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ara (for -ar verbs), while the second sees verbs ending in -ese (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ase (for -ar verbs).
There is no difference between these two forms, and Spanish speakers use them interchangeably.
| Pronoun | Spanish era/ara | Spanish ese/ase |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | facturara | facturase |
| Tú | facturaras | facturase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facturara | facturase |
| Nosotros / as | facturáramos | facturásemos |
| Vosotros / as | facturarais | facturaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | facturaran | facturasen |
| Vos | facturaras | facturase |
The future subjunctive is no longer used in modern-day Spanish, apart from in literary and legal contexts, and there is no need to learn it.
It is formed the same as the past/imperfect subjunctive, but with -e endings instead of -a endings.

| Yo | facturare |
| Tú | facturares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | facturare |
| Nosotros / as | facturáremos |
