Jubilarse Conjugation: Free Spanish Lesson, Quiz, and PDF

Are you relaxed and ready for a lesson on jubilarse conjugation? This verb translates to “to retire” in English. 

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

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

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

The Ultimate Guide to Jubilarse Conjugation

Please don’t worry if you are not familiar with some of the tenses shown here. Since jubilarse conjugation is a great example of a regular verb, these forms will be easy to remember with practice. 

I included some exercises at the end of this complete guide to jubilarse conjugation, so you can practice your new skills!

Jubilarse Conjugation: Verbals

For these jubilarse conjugations, there are two forms of jubilar that you need to learn.

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

The infinitive form of the verb is jubilar.
The past participle of jubilar is jubilado.
The gerund form of jubilar is jubilando.

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

Let’s see them in action:

En octubre me voy a jubilar.
I will retire this October.

Él no se ha jubilado.
He has not retired.

Rosa se está jubilando.
Rose is retiring.

Jubilarse Conjugation: Indicative Mood

Present simple

Yojubilo
Tújubilas
Él, ella, ustedjubila
Nosotrosjubilamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesjubilan

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

Jubilarse is a regular verb but also a pronominal verb. This means that since jubilarse conjugation refers to an act you do on yourself and others, it needs the reflexive pronouns me, te, se, or nos. By adding these reflexive pronouns, you clarify who is retiring. 

Ellos se jubilan hoy.
They’re retiring today.

Tu te jubilas después de tantos años de trabajar.
You retire after many years of working.

Yo me jubilo porque quiero tener tiempo libre.
I’m retiring because I want to have free time.

Nosotros nos jubilamos de esta empresa.
We’re retiring from this company.

Jubilarse Conjugation

Past Simple

Yojubilé
Tújubilaste
Él, ella, ustedjubiló
Nosotrosjubilamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesjubilaron

Here are some tips to use the jubilarse conjugation in past simple:

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

Jubilarse 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

Yojubile
Tújubiles
Él, ella, ustedjubile
Nosotrosjubilemos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesjubilen

Quiero que mi hijo se jubile pronto. 
I want my son to retire soon.

Hasta que te jubiles, nos iremos a la playa.
Once you retire, we’ll go to the beach.

Past Subjunctive

Yojubilara / jubilase
Tújubilaras / jubilases
Él, ella, ustedjubilara /jubilase
Nosotrosjubiláramos /jubilásemos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesjubilaran / jubilasen


Si yo me jubilara saldría a caminar todos los días.
If I retired, I would take a walk every day.

Yo quería que nos jubiláramos antes de Año Nuevo.
I wanted us to retire before the New Year.

Si ellos se jubilasen, tendrían más tiempo para viajar.
If they retired, they would have more time to travel.

The jubilarse 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

Yohubiera / hubiese + jubilado
Túhubieras / hubieses + jubilado
Él, ella, ustedhubiera / hubiese + jubilado
Nosotroshubiéramos / hubiésemos + jubilado
Ellos, ellas, ustedeshubieran / hubiesen + jubilado


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

Si yo me hubiera jubilado hace un año, hoy no estaría tan cansado.
If I had retired a year ago,I wouldn’t be so tired today.

Si nosotros nos hubiésemos jubilado antes, no tendríamos que hacer el trámite este mes.
If we had retired earlier, we wouldn’t have to do the paperwork this month.

Present Perfect Subjunctive

Yohaya + jubilado
Túhayas + jubilado
Él, ella, ustedhaya + jubilado
Nosotroshayamos + jubilado
Ellos, ellas, ustedeshayan + jubilado


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

Da igual que ellos se hayan jubilado.
It doesn’t matter if they retired.

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

Jubilarse 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). 

AffirmativeNegative
Jubílate / ¡Te jubilas!No te jubiles
Jubílese / ¡Se jubila!No se junilen
Jubilémonos / ¡Nos jubilamos!No nos jubilemos
Jubílense / ¡Se jubilan!No se jubilen

No te jubiles este año.
Don’t retire this year.

Jubilémonos ahora mismo.
Let’s retire right now.

Jubílate en otro momento
Retire at another time!
