It is a regular -ar verb like ayudar or caminar. This verb can be used as a reflexive or reciprocal verb, casarse, ​or as a non-reflexive verb, casar. Since it is most commonly used as casarse, this article will show the conjugations for the verb using the reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nos, os, se). Below you can find tables with conjugations for casarse in the present, past and future indicative, the present and past subjunctive, the imperative, and other verb forms.

Using the Verb Casarse

The verb casarse can be used whenever you would say "to marry" or "to get married." For example, Ana se casó en la iglesia (Ana got married at the church) or El hombre se casó muy joven (The man got married very young).

You can also use the verb casar without the reflexive pronoun when talking about marrying someone, or officiating a wedding. In this case the verb casar functions as a transitive verb with a direct object. For example, you can say El padre casó a la pareja (The priest married the couple) or El abogado los va a casar en su oficina (The lawyer is going to marry them in his office).
