7 Verb tenses


This video was an instruction/ teaching video. It was similar to a conversation class. It went through these seven Spanish verb tenses:
1. Present= specific/general now.
2. Present Progressive= right now (ing)
3. Present Perfect= recently completed action (Requires helping verb)
4. Preterite= fixed point in time/ enclosed amount of time
5. Imperfect= past, clock time, age (Habitual)
6. Future= describes actions that will take place
7. Conditional= events not guaranteed to happen (Leave entire verb intact!)

Finally, there is a quiz at the end!

I have a lot of trouble with remembering and distinguishing verb tenses. Since i do not have much time to converse with native speakers, I have to find instruction in other places. This video helped reinforce what we have learned in class. It helped me practice and laid it out in charts. Charts as a visual aid, like music, help me learn and memorize.
