Enojarse Conjugation: Free Spanish Lesson, Quiz, and PDF

Don’t get mad; relax and take this lesson on enojarse conjugation step-by-step! Enojarse translates to “to get angry” in English.

Enojarse is a regular verb that follows the classic conjugation rules for -ar verbs. The root (enoj-) stays the same, and only the suffix changes. 

Enojarse conjugation goes hand-in-hand with the verbs amar (to love), cantar (to sing), and buscar (to search), as all of them follow the same patterns.

Today, we’ll learn enojarse conjugation in multiple forms, encompassing three moods: 

• Indicative (present, past, conditional, and future)
• Subjunctive (present and past)
• Imperative 

The Ultimate Guide to Enojarse Conjugation

This guide to enojarse conjugation is made for students who are both familiar and unfamiliar with all the tenses. Don’t worry, since this is a regular verb, you just need a little practice to remember the conjugation. At the end of the article, you’ll find some exercises that can help you with that.

Enojarse Conjugation: Verbals

For these enojarse conjugations, there are two forms of enojar that you need to learn.

1. Conjugation of haber + past participle of enojar.
2. Conjugation of estar + gerund form of enojar.

The infinitive form of the verb is enojar.
The past participle of enojar is enojado. (Note: the word enojado/a is also a common Spanish adjective that means “angry.”)
The gerund form of enojar is enojando.

These compound tenses involve using the helping verbs haber and estar. The enojarse conjugation changes in these tenses happen within the helping verbs, while the form of enojar stays the same. 

Let’s see some examples:

No te tienes que enojar.
You don’t have to get angry.

Ella se había enojado con su amiga.
She had gotten angry at her friend.

Me estoy enojando.
I’m getting angry.

Enojarse: A Reflexive Verb

Most actions that have to do with feelings are reflexive verbs, such as enojarse (to get angry), entristecerse (to get sad), and encontentarse (to get happy). Since enojarse conjugation refers to a feeling, you can have yourself as well as provoke in others, we use reflexive pronouns to clarify: me, te, se, nos. 

Who is getting mad? Who or what caused it? The reflexive pronouns answer these questions.

Ella se enoja cuando el café está frío.
She gets angry when the coffee is cold.

Enojarse Conjugation: Indicative Mood

Present simple

Keep in mind that the formal construction of tú (you) is usted, and its tenses are the exact same as él and ella.

Tu te enojas cuando no comes.
You get angry when you don’t eat.

Yo me enojo de todo en las mañanas.
I get angry at everything in the morning.

Nos enoja que llegues tarde. 
We’re angry that you are late.

Past Simple

Here are some tips on enojarse conjugation in past simple:

• Be sure to place the accents correctly to avoid confusion with other tenses and moods.
• Enojamos is the same in both present simple and past simple, so be sure to get or give enough context to figure out the verb tense.

Nosotros nos enojamos ayer.
We got mad yesterday.

Yo me enojé contigo.
I got mad at you. 

¿Te enojaste por lo que pasó?
Did you get mad about what happened?

Past Imperfect

She used to get angry about traffic.

Yo nunca me enojaba.
I used to never get angry. 

Tú te enojabas muy seguido.
You used to get mad often.

Conditional

Me enojaría si se quemara la comida.
I would be mad if the food burned.

Román se enojaría si supiera
Román would get mad if he knew.

No creí que nos enojaríamos.
I didn’t think we would get mad.

¿Tu te enojarías si fueras ella?

They will get angry when they find out.

Te enojarás cuando llegue el material.

Enojarse Conjugation: Subjunctive Mood

We use the subjunctive mood to talk about hypotheses, hopes, wishes, or uncertainty. The word que (that) normally is located a couple of words before the verb, if not immediately before the reflexive pronoun.

Present Subjunctive

No quiero que mi hermano se enoje. 
I don’t want my brother to be mad.

Puedo evitar que ellos se enojen.
I can keep them from getting mad.

Mientras no te enojes, yo estaré contenta.
As long as you don’t get mad, I will be happy.

Past Subjunctive

Yo quería que no nos enojáramos antes de la presentación.
I wanted us not to get angry before the presentation.

Si ellos se enojasen, no podrían trabajar juntos.
If they got angry, they couldn’t work together. 

The enojarse conjugation in past subjunctive tense can either end in -ara or –ase. Both ways are accepted, although -ara is more common and informal. When writing a formal letter, I suggest you use the verb ending -ase. This also applies in the next tense with -era and -ese.

Past Perfect Subjunctive

For the past perfect subjunctive tense, we use the auxiliary verb haber and the past participle of enojar.

Si yo me hubiera enojado ayer, hoy no estaría aquí.
If I had gotten mad yesterday, I wouldn’t be here today.

Se hubieran enojado por otra cosa.
You should have gotten mad over something else. 

Si no nos hubiésemos enojado esa vez, seguiríamos juntos.
If we hadn’t gotten mad that time, we would still be together. 

Present Perfect Subjunctive

For the perfect subjunctive tense we use the auxiliary verb haber and the past participle of enojar.

Da igual que ellos se hayan enojado.
It doesn’t matter if they got angry.

Es lo mismo que te hayas enojado mucho o poco.
It is the same whether you have gotten angry a lot or a little.

Another subjunctive tense exists: future. Since it is rarely used, I am not including it in this lesson. 

Enojarse Conjugation: Imperative Mood

The imperative mood is used to give commands. These tenses don’t include most of the subject pronouns since you can’t give commands in the first person singular (yo) or plural (nosotros) or the third person (él, ella, ellos, ellas). 

The imperative mood emphasizes the verb, as the sentence normally starts with it unless it is a negative form. In these cases, the reflexive pronoun sometimes adds to the verb at the end.

Enojémonos instead of nos enojemos—as in the present subjunctive. It is possible to keep the reflexive pronoun detached at the beginning but you need to give it an imperative voice with exclamation marks: te enojas versus ¡te enojas! 

No te enojes por algo tan insignificante. 
Don’t be mad about something so insignificant.  

¡Enójense en otro lado!
Get angry elsewhere!

No nos enojemos hoy. 
Let’s not get angry today.
