How is "apoderar" conjugated?

Question

In the translation section there is no conjugation offered. Would it follow the conjugation for "poder" or is it something different? Also, is this a commonly used word or not really? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Yes do what Jason said but type in 'apoderarse' (reflexive) - margaretbl, Jun 22, 2010

Answer 1

Hola,

I checked 501 verbs. It's a regular ar verb.

Poder is an irregular er verb.

I think apoderar is usually used reflexively apoderarse. (to take power)

I found it in R.A.E. as apoderar and couldn't find it in there as apoderarse, I hope this helps. :) - Jason7R, Jun 22, 2010

I'ts there but not as a separate entry. Under 'apoderar' - prenominal usage. - samdie, Jun 22, 2010

Ok, I must have egg on my face!! Sorry here is the conjugation. Present: apodero, apodereas, apodera, apoderamos, apoderan, apoderáis---- Past: apoderé, apoderaste, apoderó apoderamos, apoderaron, and apoderasteis. Hope this helps get you started. Sorry for the early post (I'm not that smart)

You and everyone else have been a huge help! - christine2, Jun 22, 2010

Jason, you might want to change your past tense 1st person singular to **apoderé** instead of **spoderé**. BTW, good answer; and, I don't see any egg on your face! - Pajaro44, Jun 22, 2010

Thanks Pajaro! Typing too fast again. :) - Jason7R, Jun 22, 2010

Sure it's common for taking possession of something etc. Also 'apoderar' is like ' to empower'
