Casarse Conjugation | How to Conjugate Casarse in Spanish

Casarse means “to get married.” You will learn its regular -AR endings, the required pronominal clitics, the common way to name the person someone marries, clitic placement in compound and periphrastic forms, and the spelling changes caused by attached pronouns in affirmative commands.

Casarse conjugation at a glance

Verb type: Regular AR. Linguistically, casarse uses the regular forms of casar plus a pronominal clitic matched to the subject: me for first-person singular, te for informal second-person singular, se for third person and formal address, nos for first-person plural, and os for informal second-person plural in Spain. The central everyday construction is casarse con alguien — “to marry / get married to someone.”

Casarse gerund, past participle, and infinitive

The infinitive names the verb, the gerund helps build progressive constructions, and the past participle is used with haber — “to have” as an auxiliary — in compound forms. With compound forms built with haber, the participle remains invariant.

Casarse meaning and essential uses

Casarse — “to get married” — is normally pronominal in this meaning, so the clitic changes with the subject: me caso — “I get married,” te casas — “you get married,” and so on.

To name the person someone marries, use casarse con alguien — “to marry / get married to someone.” For example, Se casó con Ana. — “He married Ana / He got married to Ana.”

Casarse conjugation pattern

The verb stem cas- remains regular throughout the simple paradigm. The distinctive feature is pronominal syntax: finite forms normally place the clitic before the conjugated verb; progressives allow me estoy casando — “I am getting married” and estoy casándome — “I am getting married”; near-future forms allow me voy a casar — “I am going to get married” and voy a casarme — “I am going to get married.” In affirmative commands, the clitic attaches and the resulting word must be accented according to normal Spanish spelling rules.
