Acudir conjugation
Table of Contents
Acudir is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to attend, be present, go, come to the rescue”.
Below are all of the conjugations for acudir 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.

Acudir Gerund and Past Participle
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está acudiendo) and past continuous (estaba acudiendo). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. attending).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he acudido and hubiera acudido. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have attended).
| Gerundio / Gerund | acudiendo |
|---|---|
| Participio / Past Participle | acudido |
Acudir 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.
Acudir 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 attend” or “they attend”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | acudo |
| Tú | acudes |
| Él / Ella / Usted | acude |
| Nosotros / as | acudimos |
| Vosotros / as | acudís |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | acuden |
| Vos | acudís |
Acudir Preterite / Pretérito Indefinido
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I attended” or “she attended” 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 | acudí | I attended |
| Tú | acudiste | You attended |
| Él / Ella / Usted | acudió | He / she / you attended |
| Nosotros / as | acudimos | We attended |
| Vosotros / as | acudisteis | You attended |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | acudieron | They / you attended |
| Vos | acudiste | You attended |
Acudir Imperfect / Pretérito Imperfecto
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was attending” or “she was attending” 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 | acudía | I was attending |
| Tú | acudías | You were attending |
| Él / Ella / Usted | acudía | He was / she was / you were attending |
| Nosotros / as | acudíamos | We were attending |
| Vosotros / as | acudíais | You were attending |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | acudían | They / you were attending |
| Vos | acudías | You were attending |
Acudir 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 attended” and “she has attended”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he acudido | I have attended |
| Tú | has acudido | You have attended |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha acudido | He has / she has / you have attended |
| Nosotros / as | hemos acudido | We have attended |
| Vosotros / as | habéis acudido | You have attended |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han acudido | They / you have attended |
| Vos | has acudido | You have attended |
Acudir Conditional / Condicional
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would attend” or “she would attend”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | acudiría | I would attend |
| Tú | acudirías | You would attend |
| Él / Ella / Usted | acudiría | He / she / you would attend |
| Nosotros / as | acudiríamos | We would attend |
| Vosotros / as | acudiríais | You would attend |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | acudirían | They / you would attend |
| Vos | acudirías | You would attend |
Acudir Future / Futuro
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will attend” or “they will attend”.
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 acudir” means “They are going to attend”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | acudiré | I will attend |
| Tú | acudirás | You will attend |
| Él / Ella / Usted | acudirá | He / she / you will attend |
| Nosotros / as | acudiremos | We will attend |
