The verb, as part of speech, plays an important role in any language, and Spanish is no exception. Unlike English, in this language of the Romanesque group, verbs conjugate in tenses. The verb hacer ("do", "perform") belongs to the wrong group, so the conjugation of the Spanish hacer for different tenses and moods should be remembered.
Indicative conjugation
The indicative is the main mood in any language. It is this mood that is used to express most actions. Let us give an example of conjugation of the Spanish verb hacer in the most common tenses: simple present, past and future.

- tú haces - you do;
- el, ella hace - he (she) does;
- nosotros (-as) hacemos - we do;
- vosotros (-as) hacéis - you do;
- ellos, ellas hacen - they do.
For example: hago mi trabajo hoy - I do my work today.
In the past simple tense:
- yo hice - I did;
- tú hiciste - you did;
- el, ella hizo - he (she) did;
- nosotros (-as) hicimos - we did;

For example: hice mi trabajo hoy - I did my work today.
In the future simple time:

Subjunctive conjugation
This type of mood is used in cases where a person doubts the reality of the performance of what is being said.
The conjugation of hacer in Spanish in the subjunctive mood for the present tense is presented below:
- yo, él, ella haga;
- tú hagas;
- nosotros (-as) hagamos;
- vosotros (-as) hagáis;
- ellos, ellas hagan.
For example: dudo que haga mi trabajo hoy - I doubt that I will do my work today.
Conjugation hacer for the past tense has the form:
- yo, él, ella hiciera;
- tú hicieras;
- nosotros (-as) hiciéramos;
- vosotros (-as) hicierais;
- ellos, ellas hicieran.
For example: dudo que yo hiciera mi trabajo hoy - I doubt that I completed my work today.
Note that a different conjugation method can also be used at a given time, although it is much less common than the first option:
- yo, él, ella hiciese;
- tú hicieses;
- nosotros (-as) hiciésemos;
- vosotros (-as) hicieseis;
- ellos, ellas hiciesen.
The conjugation of hacer in Spanish for the future tense of the subjunctive mood has the form:
- yo, él, ella hiciere;
- tú hicieres;
- nosotros (-as) hiciéremos;
- vosotros (-as) hiciereis;
- ellos, ellas hicieren.
For example: dudo que hiciere mi trabajo hoy - I doubt that I will do my work today.
Imperative Conjugation
The need to use this mood arises when you need to give an order to perform any action.
In this case, the hacer conjugation in Spanish will look like this:
- tú haz;
- él haga;
- nosotros (-as) hagamos;
- vosotros (-as) haced;
- ellos, ellas hagan.
For example: haz tu trabajo hoy - do your job today.
It should be noted that the peculiarity of using the imperative is that the hacer does not conjugate in the singular first person.
For imperative, the negative form has its own conjugation. So, the conjugation of hacer in Spanish in this case is as follows:
- tú no hagas;
- él, ella no haga;
- nosotros (-as) no hagamos;
- vosotros (-as) no hagáis;
- ellos, ellas no hagan.
For example: no hagas tu trabajo hoy - do not do your work today.
There are many tenses in Spanish, however, the conjugations of the verb hacer above are most often used in everyday speech.
