Reunirse Examples, Sentences & Quiz in Spanish
The Spanish verb reunirse means to meet, to gather. You can learn its forms from the full reunirse conjugation, but forms on their own are not enough: you need to see the verb in real sentences, in conversation, and in the mistakes people actually make. That is what this page is for. Below you will find example sentences grouped by use, two short dialogues, the common mistakes, a ten-question quiz with explained answers, and answers to the questions learners ask most. One sentence to start: Yo me reúno con la familia en Navidad. — "I meet with the family at Christmas."
reunirse is reflexive, so watch for the pronoun in every sentence: me, te, se, nos, os, se. The pronoun always matches the person, and it is part of the verb.

Reunirse in conversation
Two short dialogues using reunirse naturally. Read them out loud: hearing the verb in a question and an answer is the fastest way to make the forms stick.
Dialogue 1: making plans
María: ¿Tú te reúnes con la familia en Navidad? Carlos: Sí, yo me reúno con la familia en Navidad. ¿Y tú? María: Yo también. ¿Se reúne en el salón? Carlos: Sí, él se reúne en el salón todos los días. María: ¿Y mañana? ¿Tú te reunirás cada domingo? Carlos: Sí, mañana yo me reuniré cada domingo.
In this dialogue María asks Carlos what he does, and then they talk about tomorrow. Notice how the verb changes with the person: te reúnes for tú, me reúno for yo, se reúne for él. The future forms at the end (te reunirás, me reuniré) show the same verb talking about tomorrow.
Dialogue 2: talking about yesterday
Ana: ¿Tú te reúnes para cenar? Luis: Sí, yo me reúno para cenar. ¿Y tú? Ana: Yo también. ¿Se reúne en el trabajo? Luis: Sí, él se reúne en el trabajo todos los días. Ana: ¿Y ayer? ¿Tú te reuniste para cenar? Luis: Sí, ayer yo me reuní para cenar.
Here Ana asks Luis about yesterday, so the answers use the preterite: me reuní for yo, te reuniste for tú. The preterite is the right choice because yesterday is finished; the present would describe a habit instead.
Common mistakes with reunirse in the present
These are the errors learners actually make with this verb. Each one shows the wrong version, the right version, and why it is wrong.
1. Yo reúno con la familia.
Wrong: Yo reúno con la familia.
Right: Yo me reúno con la familia.
Reunirse is reflexive: the pronoun me is part of the verb. Reúno on its own means to gather or collect things, not people meeting.
2. Nos reunimos con la familia is wrong because reunirse is singular.
Wrong: Nos reunimos con la familia is wrong because reunirse is singular.
Right: Nos reunimos con la familia.
No, the first sentence is correct: nos reunimos is the nosotros form of reunirse, and it is exactly how you say we meet up.
3. Confusing reunirse with encontrarse
Wrong: Me reúno con Ana en la plaza.
Right: Me encuentro con Ana en la plaza.
Reunirse is gathering as a group, usually planned; encontrarse is meeting, often by chance. Os reunís todos en Navidad, pero te encuentras con Ana por casualidad.
4. Using the present for a finished past action
Wrong: Ayer yo me reúno con la familia en Navidad.
Right: Ayer yo me reuní con la familia en Navidad.
Ayer (yesterday) signals a finished action, so it needs the preterite: me reuní. The present describes what you do now or usually.

Frequently asked questions about reunirse
Why does the present tense of reunirse look odd?
The verified tables give the present of reunirse as reúno, reúnes, reúne, reunimos, reunís, reúnen, with the reflexive pronoun in front: me reúno, te reúnes, se reúne. Use those forms as shown in the table on this page.
Is reunirse regular?
Yes, apart from the reflexive pronoun. The preterite is regular too: me reuní, te reuniste, se reunió, nos reunimos, os reunisteis, se reunieron.
What are the gerund and the past participle of reunirse?
The gerund is reuniendo, used with estar for the progressive (estoy reuniendo), and the past participle is reunido, used with haber for the perfect tenses (he reunido).
Where does the reflexive pronoun go?
Before the conjugated verb: Me reúno, te reúnes, se reúne. The pronoun always matches the person: me with yo, te with tú, se with él/ella, nos with nosotros, os with vosotros, se with ellos/ellas.
How to remember reunirse
Four small habits will fix reunirse in your memory. First, say the present tense out loud, in order, three times: me reúno, te reúnes, se reúne, nos reunimos, os reunís, se reúnen. Saying the forms is far more effective than reading them silently, because you hear the endings and the stem at the same time. Second, write three sentences about your own life: one about today with the present (me reúno), one about yesterday with the preterite (me reuní), and one about tomorrow with the future (me reuniré). Personal sentences stick because they are about you, not about a textbook. Third, remember the difference from encontrarse: Reunirse is gathering as a group, usually planned; encontrarse is meeting, often by chance. Os reunís todos en Navidad, pero te encuentras con Ana por casualidad. Finally, learn the two key forms by heart: the gerund reuniendo and the past participle reunido. With those two and the present tense, you can already build the progressive (estoy reuniendo) and the present perfect (he reunido), which covers most everyday conversation.
