Medirse Conjugation Chart in Spanish

Here’s the conjugation table for the reflexive verb medirse:

Personal Pronoun	Presente	Pretérito	Imperfecto	Futuro	Condicional	Presente Subjuntivo	Imperfecto Subjunto	Imperativo
Yo	me mido	me medí	me medía	me mediré	me mediría	me mida	me midiera (or me midiese)	mídete (when speaking directly to “tú”)
Tú	te mides	te mediste	te medías	te medirás	te medirías	te midas	te midieras (or te midieses)	mídete
Él/Ella/Usted	se mide	se midió	se medía	se medirá	se mediría	se mida	se midiera (or se midiese)	mídase
Nosotros	nos medimos	nos medimos	nos medíamos	nos mediremos	nos mediríamos	nos midamos	nos midiéramos (or nos midiésemos)	midámonos (note: the imperative for nosotros often omits the reflexive pronoun)
Vosotros	os medís	os medisteis	os medíais	os mediréis	os mediríais	os midáis	os midierais (or os midieseis)	mideos
Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes	se miden	se midieron	se medían	se medirán	se medirían	se midan	se midieran (or se midiesen)	mídanse

Note: Reflexive verbs include a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se) that makes the action reflect back on the subject. In imperative (commands) for “tú” and “vosotros”, the usual endings are -ate and -aos (after dropping the final -d) but with reflexive verbs like “medirse,” it changes slightly to accommodate the reflexive pronouns (mídete, mideos). Also, the imperative form for “nosotros” (nos) is often seen without the reflexive pronoun in use (e.g., “vámonos” can be simply “vamos” in some contexts), but it’s correct to include it when emphasizing the reflexive action (midámonos).
