Inaugurar conjugation
Table of Contents
Inaugurar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to inaugurate, grand opening”.
Below are all of the conjugations for inaugurar 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.

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

Inaugurar Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto

In English, these use the auxiliary verbs ‘have’ and ‘has’ – i.e. “I have inaugurated” and “she has inaugurated”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he inaugurado | I have inaugurated |
| Tú | has inaugurado | You have inaugurated |
