entrena

Entrena is a form of the Spanish verb entrenar, meaning to train or practise. Specifically, entrena is the present indicative form for third-person singular (él/ella) and also the formal second-person singular (usted). It is used to indicate that someone trains, or trains someone else, in the present. The informal second-person form is entrenas.

Usage and context: The verb appears in sports, education, military, and fitness contexts, among others. It can describe training actions directed at others, as in “El entrenador entrena al equipo,” or reflexively when the subject trains themselves, as in “Ella entrena para la maratón.” It is common in phrases such as “entrenar a alguien,” “entrenarse,” and “rutinario entrenamiento.”

Conjugation overview: In the present indicative, the forms are as follows: yo entreno, tú entrenas, él/ella/usted entrena, nosotros entrenamos, vosotros entrenáis, ellos entrenan. The infinitive is entrenar; the gerund is entrenando; the past participle is entrenado. Related terms include entrenamiento (training or practice session) and entrenador/entrenadora (trainer or coach).

Notes: Entrena does not function as a noun; its meaning remains tied to the act of training when used as a verb form. The concept is central to disciplines that involve skill development, physical conditioning, and performance improvement, often supported by structured plans and regular practice.
