Humear conjugation
Table of Contents
Humear is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to smoke, steam”.
Below are all of the conjugations for humear 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.

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

Humear Indicative Conjugations

Humear Presente / Present

| Tú | humeaste | You smoke |
| Él / Ella / Usted | humeó | He / she / you smoke |

| Vos | humeaste | You smoke |
Humear Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto

| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | humeaba | I was smoked |
| Tú | humeabas | You were smoked |

In English, these use the auxiliary verbs ‘have’ and ‘has’ – i.e. “I have smoking” and “she has smoking”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he smoked | I have smoking |
| Tú | has smoked | You have smoking |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha smoked | He has / she has / you have smoking |
