Agasajar is a Spanish verb which translates into English as “to treat attentively”.
Below are all of the conjugations for agasajar 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.

The gerund (gerundio) is used with the continuous tenses, e.g. present continuous (está agasajando) and past continuous (estaba agasajando). The easiest way to think of it is the equivalent of english’s -ing form (e.g. treating attentively).
The past participle (participio) is used with perfect tense ‘haber’ verbs, e.g. he agasajado and hubiera agasajado. These are the equivalent of English’s ‘have’ (e.g. have treated attentively).

| Participio / Past Participle | agasajado |
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 treat attentively” or “they treat attentively”.
| Pronoun | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Yo | agasajo |
| Tú | agasajas |
| Él / Ella / Usted | agasaja |
| Nosotros / as | agasajamos |
| Vosotros / as | agasajáis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | agasajan |
| Vos | agasajás |
Your simple past tense, e.g. “I treated attentively” or “she treated attentively” 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 | agasajé | I treated attentively |
| Tú | agasajaste | You treated attentively |
| Él / Ella / Usted | agasajó | He / she / you treated attentively |
| Nosotros / as | agasajamos | We treated attentively |
| Vosotros / as | agasajasteis | You treated attentively |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | agasajaron | They / you treated attentively |
| Vos | agasajaste | You treated attentively |
The pretérito imperfecto roughly translates as “I was treating attentively” or “she was treating attentively” 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 | agasajaba | I was treating attentively |
| Tú | agasajabas | You were treating attentively |
| Él / Ella / Usted | agasajaba | He was / she was / you were treating attentively |
| Nosotros / as | agasajábamos | We were treating attentively |
| Vosotros / as | agasajabais | You were treating attentively |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | agasajaban | They / you were treating attentively |
| Vos | agasajabas | You were treating attentively |
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 treated attentively” and “she has treated attentively”.
| Pronoun | Spanish | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | he agasajado | I have treated attentively |
| Tú | has agasajado | You have treated attentively |
| Él / Ella / Usted | ha agasajado | He has / she has / you have treated attentively |
| Nosotros / as | hemos agasajado | We have treated attentively |
| Vosotros / as | habéis agasajado | You have treated attentively |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | han agasajado | They / you have treated attentively |
| Vos | has agasajado | You have treated attentively |
The conditional is used in place of the English modal verb “would”, i.e. “I would treat attentively” or “she would treat attentively”. It can be used to talk about hypothetical situations.
| Pronoun | Spanish | Englush |
|---|---|---|
| Yo | agasajaría | I would treat attentively |
| Tú | agasajarías | You would treat attentively |
| Él / Ella / Usted | agasajaría | He / she / you would treat attentively |
| Nosotros / as | agasajaríamos | We would treat attentively |
| Vosotros / as | agasajaríais | You would treat attentively |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | agasajarían | They / you would treat attentively |
| Vos | agasajarías | You would treat attentively |
The future tense, simply put, replaces the English modal verb “will” – i.e. “I will treat attentively” or “they will treat attentively”.
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 agasajar” means “They are going to treat attentively”.

|---|---|---|
| Yo | agasajaré | I will treat attentively |
| Tú | agasajarás | You will treat attentively |

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 | agasajara | agasajase |
| Tú | agasajaras | agasajase |
| Él / Ella / Usted | agasajara | agasajase |
| Nosotros / as | agasajáramos | agasajásemos |
| Vosotros / as | agasajarais | agasajaseis |
| Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes | agasajaran | agasajasen |
| Vos | agasajaras | agasajase |
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.

| Tú | agasajares |
| Él / Ella / Usted | agasajare |
