Ver Conjugation: Free Spanish Lesson, Exercises, and PDF

Let’s see what we can learn about ver conjugation!

The Spanish verb ver means “to see,” “to view,” and “to watch.” 

Ver conjugation is mostly regular, although the pattern varies in the past participle, visto (“seen”), and the first-person singular present, veo (“I see”). 

Verbs derived from ver include prever (“to preview” or “to foresee”) and entrever (“to glimpse” or “to suspect”) and follow the same conjugation pattern. Mirar (“to look”) is similar in meaning but not interchangeable with ver.

Today, we’ll learn ver conjugation in three moods:

  • indicative mood (present, past, conditional, and future)
  • subjunctive mood (present and past)
  • and the imperative mood. 

Let’s see just how this Spanish verb works and what forms it takes.

¡Vamos a ver qué pasa!
Let’s see what happens!

The Ultimate Guide to Ver Conjugation

Since this is a complete overview of the ver conjugation, there may be tenses and forms that you are not yet familiar with. I suggest that you go through the lesson in bite-sized chunks. You can practice your newfound ver conjugation skills using some exercises later in this blog post!

Ver Conjugation: Verbals

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

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

The infinitive form of the verb is ver.
The past participle of ver is visto.
The gerund form of ver is viendo.

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

Let’s see them in action…

Mi amigo me quiere ver.
My friend wants to see me.

Juanita está viendo una película.
Juanita is watching a movie.

Yo nunca había visto algo así en toda mi vida. 
I had never seen something like that in my whole life.

Ver Conjugation: Indicative Mood

Ver is a common Spanish verb, and the indicative mood is the one most commonly used in Spanish. 

Present simple

Yoveo
Túves
Él, ella, ustedve
Nosotrosvemos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesven

Veo que ella me quiere ayudar.
I see that she wants to help me.

¿Ves el atardacer?
Do you see the sunset?

Nos vemos todos los días.
We see each other every day.

Past Simple

Yovi
Túviste
Él, ella, ustedvio
Nosotrosvimos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesvieron

Vi que él estaba en la oficina.
I saw that he was at the office.

Maria vio que no iba a poder hacer que Pedro cambiara su mentalidad.
Maria saw that she wouldn’t be able to make Pedro change his mind.

¿Ustedes vieron las pinturas de Dalí?
Did you all see Dalí’s paintings?

Past Imperfect

Yoveía 
Túveías
Él, ella, ustedveía
Nosotrosveíamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesveían

Ellos veían la serie.
They used to watch the series.

Francisco veía los negocios como si fueran un juego. 
Francisco saw business as if it were a game.

Cuando éramos jóvenes nos veían como inocentes. 
When we were young, we were seen as innocent.

Conditional

Yovería
Túverías
Él, ella, ustedvería
Nosotrosveríamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesverían

Si yo pudiera, vería a mi mejor amiga todos los días.
If I could, I would see my best friend every day.

Si Olga supiera lo que he hecho, seguro que me vería diferente. 
If Olga knew what I have done, surely she would see me differently.

No sabía que veríamos a la familia allá. 
I didn’t know that we would see the family there.

Future Simple

Túverés
Él, ella, ustedverá
Nosotrosveremos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesverán

Voy a ganar, ya verás.
I’m going to win, you’ll see.

Ella pronto verá la verdad.
She will soon see the truth.

Cuando lleguemos, veremos el paisaje.
When we arrive, we will see the scenery.

Ver Conjugation: Subjunctive Mood

We use the subjunctive mood to talk about hypotheses, hopes, wishes, or uncertainty.

Present Subjunctive

Yovea
Túveas
Él, ella, ustedvea
Nosotrosveamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesvean

Yo quiero que tú veas lo que hiciste. 
I want you to see what you did.

Lo creeré cuando lo vea.
I will believe it when I see it.

Pinté el cuadro así para que se vean bien los colores.
I painted the picture like this so that you can see the colors well.

Past Subjunctive

Yoviera
Túvieras
Él, ella, ustedviera
Nosotrosviéramos
Ellos, ellas, ustedesvieran

Si tú vieras lo que yo vi, también estarías feliz.
If you saw what I saw, you’d be happy, too.

El profesor quería que nosotros viéramos su presentación.
The teacher wanted us to see his presentation.

Me gustó que ustedes vieran a mi mamá.  
I liked that you all saw my mom.

Two other subjunctive tenses exist: future and past perfect. The future subjunctive is rarely used, and the past subjunctive tense in the table above is the more common of the two. 

Ver 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
VeNo veas
VeaNo vea
VeamosNo veamos
VeanNo vean

No veas la pantalla tanto.
Don’t watch the screen so much.

Veamos un episodio o dos.
Let’s watch an episode or two.
