How to use aparecer in the present

In the present, only yo is irregular: aparezco. The other forms are regular: apareces, aparece, aparecemos, aparecen. Use it for things that show up on screens, lists and documents (no aparece en el sistema), for people who arrive, and for lost objects. No aparece is the standard way to say something can't be found: mi pasaporte no aparece. The zc only appears before o and a.

  • Su pedido no aparece en el sistema.

    Your order doesn't show up in the system.
