When it comes to verbs in Spanish we know we don’t have it quite easy, but we got you covered. Here we’ll show you how to conjugate The Verb Hacer in the simple present.
This verb’s meaning gravitates between make and do, and that will depend on what words we’re placing next to it.
Here’s a chart on how to conjugate in the Simple Present :
| Spanish | English |
| Yo hago | I make/ I do |
| Tú haces | You make/ You do (casual) |
| Él hace | He makes/ He does |
| Ella hace | She makes/ She does |
| Usted hace | You make/ You do (formal) |
| Nosotros hacemos | We make/ We do |
| Ustedes hacen | You make / You do (plural) |
| Ellos/Ellas hacen | They make/ They do (masc./fem.) |
Here are some examples:
- Yo hago la cena. (I make dinner)
- Tú haces la tarea. (You do homework.)
- Él hace las reservaciones (He makes reservations.)
- Ella hace las labores domésticas. (She does housework.)
- Usted hace la cama después de levantarse. (You make the bed after getting up.)
- Nosotros hacemos listas del mandado. (We make shopping lists.)
- Ustedes hacen un buen equipo. (You make a good team.)
- Ellos hacen origami. (They make origami.)
Remember that with subjects: yo, tú, and nosotros we can drop the pronoun and say the sentences only with the verb because its conjugation implies who we are refering to. So in those cases we can simply say: “Hago la tarea.”, “Haces la tarea.”, and “Hacemos listas del mandado.”, respectively.
