Common mistakes

  1. Wrong: Yo reúno con el equipo cada lunes. — Right: Yo me reúno con el equipo cada lunes. — Reunirse is reflexive, so the pronoun me is required: without it the verb means something else, or nothing at all.
  2. Wrong: Ayer yo reúno en la oficina a las diez. — Right: Ayer yo reuní en la oficina a las diez. — The present and the preterite are different tenses: reúno is happening now, while reuní is a finished action in the past. Use the preterite with ayer.
  3. Wrong: Treating reunirse and encontrarse as identical in every context. — Right: Reunirse means to meet, to gather, while encontrarse means to meet casually. — They overlap, but each has uses the other does not: reunirse fits sentences such as Me reúno con el equipo cada lunes, while encontrarse belongs in a different sentence. Check the meaning you want before choosing.
  4. Wrong: Yo soy reunido en la oficina a las diez. — Right: Yo he reunido en la oficina a las diez. — Spanish perfect tenses use haber, not ser: he reunido, has reunido, ha reunido. Ser plus the participle makes a passive, not a perfect tense.
  5. Wrong: De niño, yo reuní la familia en Navidad todos los días. — Right: De niño, yo reunía la familia en Navidad todos los días. — For a repeated habit in the past, use the imperfect (reunía), not the preterite. The preterite (reuní) is for one finished action.

Frequently asked questions

What does reunirse mean in English?

Reunirse means to meet, to gather. It is used in everyday situations such as Me reúno con el equipo cada lunes. The exact English wording depends on the context, but the core meaning stays the same across the tenses.

Is reunirse a reflexive verb?

Yes. Reunirse is reflexive, so it always takes a reflexive pronoun that matches the person: me, te, se, nos, os or se. For example, Me reúno con el equipo cada lunes and él se reúne en la oficina a las diez. If you leave the pronoun out, the verb changes meaning or stops making sense.

What is the difference between reunirse and encontrarse?

Reunirse means to meet, to gather, while encontrarse means to meet casually. They are easy to confuse because they appear in similar situations, but they are not interchangeable: use reunirse when you mean to meet, to gather, as in Me reúno con el equipo cada lunes, and use encontrarse for to meet casually. When in doubt, check the object of the sentence — it usually shows which verb fits.

How do I say “I meet” in the past?

It depends on the kind of past. For one finished action, use the preterite: yo me reuní en la oficina a las diez. For a repeated habit or background in the past, use the imperfect: yo me reunía la familia en Navidad. For something that has just happened, use the present perfect: yo me he reunido en la oficina a las diez.

How do I practise reunirse?

Start with the present tense table, then drill the preterite and the imperfect, since those two past tenses cause the most mistakes. Try the reunirse examples and quiz page for more sentences, and use the Spanish Verb Quiz to test the forms under pressure.
