Common mistakes with rentabilizar
The errors learners actually make with rentabilizar, each with the wrong form, the right form, and why it is wrong.
Mistake 1: Adding a reflexive pronoun that does not belong
- Wrong: Yo me rentabilizo la inversión en la tienda.
- Right: Yo rentabilizo la inversión en la tienda.
- Why: rentabilizar is not reflexive, so there is no pronoun to add. Yo rentabilizo la inversión en la tienda. is the correct sentence, and the extra pronoun changes the meaning.
Mistake 2: Using the present tense after espero que
- Wrong: Espero que él rentabiliza el tiempo en el trabajo.
- Right: Espero que él rentabilice el tiempo en el trabajo.
- Why: After espero que Spanish needs the subjunctive, and for rentabilizar the subjunctive also changes z to c: rentabilice, not rentabiliza.
Mistake 3: Using the present tense for yesterday
- Wrong: Ayer, yo rentabilizo el tiempo en el trabajo.
- Right: Ayer, yo rentabilicé el tiempo en el trabajo.
- Why: Ayer means yesterday, so the action is finished and needs the preterite. The present tense is for habits and routines, not for yesterday: Ayer, yo rentabilicé el tiempo en el trabajo. — "Yesterday, I made profitable the time at work."
Mistake 4: Mixing up the gerund and the participle
- Wrong: Estoy rentabilizado el espacio de la casa.
- Right: Estoy rentabilizando el espacio de la casa.
- Why: After estar you need the gerund rentabilizando for the progressive. The participle rentabilizado goes with haber in the perfect tenses (he rentabilizado), never after estar.
Mistake 5: Using the él form for nosotros
- Wrong: Nosotros rentabiliza la inversión en la tienda.
- Right: Nosotros rentabilizamos la inversión en la tienda.
- Why: The person and the ending must match: nosotros takes rentabilizamos, while rentabiliza belongs to él and ella. Check the person first, then choose the form.

Frequently asked questions about rentabilizar

Almost. rentabilizar is a spelling-changing (z → c before e) -ar verb, so its endings are regular but its spelling changes in some forms: Watch the spelling: the z becomes c before e, so the yo preterite is rentabilicé and the subjunctive forms start with c, for example rentabilice. The rest of the conjugation follows the regular pattern, and the tables above show every form exactly.
What does rentabilizar mean, and when do I use it?
rentabilizar means "to make profitable" in English. Use it when you talk about the investment in the shop, the time at work, the space in the house and the trip with several clients — for example: Yo rentabilizo la inversión en la tienda. — "I make profitable the investment in the shop." It is a practical verb for everyday conversation, and it appears in all the tenses on this page.
How do you say it in a real sentence?
A natural sentence is: Yo rentabilizo la inversión en la tienda. — "I make profitable the investment in the shop." Change the person using the table above, and change the complement to talk about your own life: the verb stays the same, only the ending changes.
Is there a reflexive form of rentabilizar?
No. rentabilizar is not reflexive, so it is used without a pronoun: Yo rentabilizo la inversión en la tienda. — "I make profitable the investment in the shop." Adding me, te or se would change the meaning, so keep the verb plain unless you mean the reflexive partner.
When do I use the present tense instead of the preterite with rentabilizar?
Use the present for habits and routines: Yo rentabilizo la inversión en la tienda. — "I make profitable the investment in the shop." Use the preterite for one finished action: Ayer, yo rentabilicé la inversión en la tienda. — "Yesterday, I made profitable the investment in the shop." If the action happens regularly, choose the present; if it happened once and is finished, choose the preterite.
