Desangrar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to bleed profusely”.
Below are all of the conjugations for desangrar 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.
| English Infinitive | to bleed profusely |

| Spanish Infinitive | desangrar |
The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está desangrando) and past continuous (estaba desangrando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. bleeding profusely).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he desangrado and hubiera desangrado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have bled profusely).

| Participio / Past Participle | desangrado |
The basic form of speech, el indicativo is used for making statements, talking about facts, events and things that are certain and objective.
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 bleed profusely” or “they bleed profusely”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | desangro |
| Tú | desangras |
| Él / Ella / Usted | desangra |
| Nosotros / as | desangramos |
| Vosotros / as | desangráis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | desangran |
| Vos | desangrás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I bled profusely” or “she bled profusely” 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 | desangré | I bled profusely |
| Tú | desangraste | You bled profusely |
| Él / Ella / Usted | desangró | He / she / you bled profusely |
| Nosotros / as | desangramos | We bled profusely |
| Vosotros / as | desangrasteis | You bled profusely |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | desangraron | They / you bled profusely |
| Vos | desangraste | You bled profusely |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was bleeding profusely” or “she was bleeding profusely” 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 | desangraba | I was bleeding profusely |
| Tú | desangrabas | You were bleeding profusely |
| Él / Ella / Usted | desangraba | He was / she was / you were bleeding profusely |
| Nosotros / as | desangrábamos | We were bleeding profusely |
| Vosotros / as | desangrabais | You were bleeding profusely |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | desangraban | They / you were bleeding profusely |
| Vos | desangrabas | You were bleeding profusely |
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 bled profusely” and “she has bled profusely”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he desangrado | I have bled profusely |
| Tú | has desangrado | You have bled profusely |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha desangrado | He has / she has / you have bled profusely |
| Nosotros / as | hemos desangrado | We have bled profusely |
| Vosotros / as | habéis desangrado | You have bled profusely |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han desangrado | They / you have bled profusely |
| Vos | has desangrado | You have bled profusely |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would bleed profusely” or “she would bleed profusely”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | desangraría | I would bleed profusely |
| Tú | desangrarías | You would bleed profusely |
| Él / Ella / Usted | desangraría | He / she / you would bleed profusely |
| Nosotros / as | desangraríamos | We would bleed profusely |
| Vosotros / as | desangraríais | You would bleed profusely |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | desangrarían | They / you would bleed profusely |
| Vos | desangrarías | You would bleed profusely |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will bleed profusely” or “they will bleed profusely”.
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 desangrar” means “They are going to bleed profusely”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | desangraré | I will bleed profusely |
| Tú | desangrarás | You will bleed profusely |

| Nosotros / as | desangraremos | We will bleed profusely |

There are two ways to form the imperfect subjunctive.
The first option sees verbs ending in -era (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ara (for -ar verbs), while the second sees verbs ending in -ese (for -er and -ir verbs) and -ase (for -ar verbs).
There is no difference between these two forms, and Spanish speakers use them interchangeably.
| Pronoun | Spanish era/ara | Spanish ese/ase |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | desangrara | desangrase |
| Tú | desangraras | desangrase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | desangrara | desangrase |
| Nosotros / as | desangráramos | desangrásemos |
| Vosotros / as | desangrarais | desangraseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | desangraran | desangrasen |
| Vos | desangraras | desangrase |
The future subjunctive is no longer used in modern-day Spanish, apart from in literary and legal contexts, and there is no need to learn it.
It is formed the same as the past/imperfect subjunctive, but with -e endings instead of -a endings.
