Habituarse conjugation

Habituarse is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to become accustomed to”.

Reflexive Spanish Verbs

It’s a reflexive verb, which means the subject performs the action upon themselves – e.g. “I wake myself”.

Reflexive verbs always carry a reflexive pronoun – me, te, se, nos or os – which is often placed before the conjugated verb (e.g. me habitúo) or after the infinitive (e.g. Él tiene que habituarse).

Below are all of the conjugations for habituarse 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 become accustomed to
Spanish Infinitive	habituarse

Habituarse Gerund and Past Participle

The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está habituándose) and past continuous (estaba habituándose). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. became acostomed to).

The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he become acostomed to and hubiera become acostomed to. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have becoming acostomed to).

Participio / Past Participle	become acostomed to

Habituarse Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto

Habituarse Future / Futuro

The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will become acostomed to” or “they will become acostomed to”.

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 habituarse” means “They are going to become acostomed to”.
