llover info.

To help remember “llover,” you could think of the English phrase “lovely weather,” and imagine saying “It’s not lovely weather, it’s going to llover (rain).”

“Llover” is an impersonal verb, meaning that it does not change according to person; it’s only used in the third person singular form.

Here are some synonyms for “llover” in Spanish:
– Chispear: To drizzle
– Diluviar: To downpour or rain heavily (colloquial, “to rain cats and dogs”)

“Llover” is an infinitive verb. Here are its conjugations in the indicative mood:

– Present: llueve (It rains / It is raining)
– Preterite: llovió (It rained)
– Imperfect: llovía (It was raining / It used to rain)
– Conditional: llovería (It would rain)
– Future: lloverá (It will rain)

Now for the subjunctive mood:

– Present Subjunctive: llueva (that it rain)
– Imperfect Subjunctive: lloviera or lloviese (if it rained, that it might rain)
– Future Subjunctive: lloviere (if it were to rain, a form rarely used today)

And the imperative mood doesn’t apply since “llover” is impersonal.

Examples of sentences that use “llover”:

– Present: En primavera, suele llover mucho. (In spring, it usually rains a lot.)
– Preterite: Ayer llovió todo el día. (Yesterday it rained all day.)
– Imperfect: Cuando éramos niños, llovía frecuentemente en el pueblo. (When we were kids, it used to rain frequently in the town.)
– Conditional: Si continuara este clima, llovería mañana. (If this weather continues, it would rain tomorrow.)
– Future: El meteorólogo dijo que lloverá esta tarde. (The meteorologist said it will rain this afternoon.)
– Present Subjunctive: Espero que no llueva durante la boda. (I hope it does not rain during the wedding.)
– Imperfect Subjunctive: Si lloviera mañana, cancelarían el evento al aire libre. (If it rained tomorrow, they would cancel the outdoor event.)
