Ingerir conjugation
Table of Contents
Ingerir is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to ingest, take in, consume”.
Below are all of the conjugations for ingerir 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.
Ingerir Infinitive

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

| Participio / Past Participle | ingerido |
Ingerir 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.
Ingerir 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 ingest” or “they ingest”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | ingiero |
| Tú | ingieres |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ingiere |
| Nosotros / as | ingerimos |
| Vosotros / as | ingerís |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | ingieren |

Ingerir Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I ingested” or “she ingested” 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 | ingerí | I ingested |
| Tú | ingeriste | You ingested |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ingirió | He / she / you ingested |
| Nosotros / as | ingerimos | We ingested |
| Vosotros / as | ingeristeis | You ingested |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | ingirieron | They / you ingested |
| Vos | ingeriste | You ingested |
Ingerir Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was ingesting” or “she was ingesting” 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 | ingería | I was ingesting |
| Tú | ingerías | You were ingesting |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ingería | He was / she was / you were ingesting |
| Nosotros / as | ingeríamos | We were ingesting |
| Vosotros / as | ingeríais | You were ingesting |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | ingerían | They / you were ingesting |
| Vos | ingerías | You were ingesting |
Ingerir 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 ingested” and “she has ingested”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he ingerido | I have ingested |
| Tú | has ingerido | You have ingested |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha ingerido | He has / she has / you have ingested |
| Nosotros / as | hemos ingerido | We have ingested |
| Vosotros / as | habéis ingerido | You have ingested |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han ingerido | They / you have ingested |
| Vos | has ingerido | You have ingested |
Ingerir Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would ingest” or “she would ingest”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | ingeriría | I would ingest |
| Tú | ingerirías | You would ingest |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ingeriría | He / she / you would ingest |

| Vosotros / as | ingeriríais | You would ingest |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | ingerirían | They / you would ingest |
| Vos | ingerirías | You would ingest |
Ingerir Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will ingest” or “they will ingest”.
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 ingerir” means “They are going to ingest”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | ingeriré | I will ingest |
| Tú | ingerirás | You will ingest |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ingerirá | He / she / you will ingest |
