How to translate Presente to English

Note that the English phrases provided below next to each conjugation are not direct translations from Spanish to English. They are usually the closest general equivalents. The example differences are:

• In Spanish conjugation, there is the form usted in the third person singular. But this person does not translate to the English third person singular. It translates to the so called formal you and uses the inflected form which is most often represented as he/she/it in English conjugation charts.
• Similar situation happens in the third person plural, where ustedes translates to the English plural formal you but uses the form which corresponds to the they form in English.
• Tenses are used differently in Spanish and English, so the actual translation should always take into account the context and focus on translating the meaning, not just words.
• In both languages each verb may have multiple meanings and not every meaning translates directly to the other language. Here also, the context and focusing on the particular meaning helps to create the most accurate translation.

The Spanish Presente de Indicativo tense translates to one of the following:

• The English Present tense, for instance:
  nosotras enamoramos

  (feminine) we fall in love
• The English Present Progressive (also called Present Continuous) tense, for instance:
  ahora mismo tú enamoras

  you are falling in love right now
  
  Notice however, that the Spanish equivalent of the Present Progressive also exists and is in common use – that’s Presente Progresivo (also called Presente Continuo).

Step by step instructions

Presente belongs to the simple tenses group, which means that all of its conjugated forms are one word long. There are also compound (compuesto) tenses in Spanish language, where each inflected verb form consists of two words.The verb enamorar has an entirely regular conjugation in the Presente tense of the Indicativo mood. It means that this verb just follows the basic rules for its group (-ar) without exceptions. The basis for the conjugation in this tense is the stem of the verb, so we start by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s really easy to do. Just remove two letters from the end of the infinitive and you have the ending — one of -ar, -er or -ir. What’s left is the stem. So for enamorar:

• the stem is: enamor-
• and the ending is: -ar

Use the stem enamor- in each person as the basis for conjugations, the common prefix that each of the forms begins with. Next, add to this regular stem the endings specific to each person. Analyze the image showing all six endings. Note the shapes and colors of the letters. They are arranged to help you find patterns and make it easier to remember these endings.Each grammatical person has a specific ending in each of the three conjugation groups -ar, -er, -ir. Add the regular ending -o for the first person singular to create enamoro:

• yo enamoro – I fall in love

And similarly add the regular ending -as for the second person singular to create enamoras:

• tú enamoras – you fall in love

As before add the regular ending -a for the third person singular to create enamora:

• él enamora – he falls in love
• ella enamora – she falls in love
• usted enamora – (formal) you fall in love

And as before add the regular ending -amos for the first person plural to create enamoramos:

• nosotros enamoramos – we fall in love
• nosotras enamoramos – (feminine) we fall in love

Similarly add the regular ending -áis for the second person plural to create enamoráis:

• vosotros enamoráis – (plural) you fall in love
• vosotras enamoráis – (feminine, plural) you fall in love

And as before add the regular ending -an for the third person plural to create enamoran:

• ellos enamoran – they fall in love
• ellas enamoran – (feminine) they fall in love
• ustedes enamoran – (formal, plural) you fall in love

That’s it! The conjugation is now finished. The final result looks as follows:

yo	enamoro	I fall in love
tú	enamoras	you fall in love
él/ella/usted	enamora	he/she/it falls in love
nosotros/nosotras	enamoramos	we fall in love
vosotros/vosotras	enamoráis	you fall in love
ellos/ellas/ustedes	enamoran	they fall in love
