@@DD-jf7pu Well, I wouldn't understand how difficult it may be to acquire all these rules and patterns since it comes naturally to me, but I would say that this method is not ideal, in my opinion. One could use it as a starting point though, just realizing that all these tenses exist while internalizing them by the actual use in spoken conversation, because I'm sure memorizing the table wouldn't make you proficient.

I am native Spanish speaker and this tape explained tenses in a very CLEAR way.

The most complex information condensed into a short and comprehensible 15 minutes. Genuinely never had this concept explained so well in any of the Spanish classes I've taken. Thank you!

Yes, indeed, it was extremely helpful! This should be the first video every spanish teacher teaches, before starting grammar, like an alphabet before learning language. Yet I have been looking for a video like this for 3 years, and just now came across this golden info! Huge thanks! Subscribed!

I never thought about it but shes right. Litterally just learn all the conjugations to Haber and Estar and you unlock SOOOO much for every other verb you'll ever use

Thank you for your video. Being a beginner, I am not ready for so much information ... but I copied the link and I will gladly come back to it in a few months. When someone would try learning a new language 30 years ago, they were stuck with 1 approach: typically 1 teacher and a few books. Thanks to technology, we now have access to so many methods and free content! One can find something that suits them. That's why I don't understand mean comments. Folks, your learning journey is in your hands. Don't expect everything you find for free on the Internet to suit your every need, because each learner is unique. If this video (or any) helps you, great! If it does not... just keep looking. A good mindset will help you learn.

This was actually quite comprehensive overview of Spanish verb tenses.

Excellent description of all the Spanish tenses, narrator is so professional!

Good God! Learning Spanish has made me appreciate German so much. Spoken German just has past, present, and future (with a couple of exceptions). There is no progressive tense, their subjunctive tense is almost gone (but used more than in English) and the future and conditional tenses are simple helper verbs like English. I'm so glad I took German in high school because I'm sure I would have flunked Spanish.

Muchísimas gracias por todo esta perfecto 👌

Thank you so much for this video and the explanations. I have been doing 1400 days of Duolingo and have encountered much of this but never had such a clear understanding of the conjugations. I decided today to dig into this subject and am grateful for this video. I’m 4 pages into notes on my first watch, my brain is melting as someone else commented, but feel confident in a roadmap forward for practicing these conjugations going forward.

Am I the only person that just completely turns off my brain with grammar lessons like this? Just the words, subjunctive, imperative, indicative, etc., I'm like, no thanks. There's no way I'm ever going to think "ok now I need to speak in the imperative". It just seems like a completely unnatural and convoluted way of learning language imho.

I understand your frustration perfectly. I even remember biting my desk out of anger when I was in fourth grade, because i had the feeling it would never end Haha! But now that I've been living in England for many years, I've realized that the main problem is that each one of us learn our own language in a completely different way. And then, they try to teach me English as they teach me Spanish, and Spanish to you as they teach you English. And i think that is an error. consequently, to you, all the verb tenses and moods of Spanish sound like Greek, and in 10 years, the most consistent grammatical rule I found in English is that in most words with double consonants, the vowel preceding that double consonant will be pronounced in the Latin form (i.e. in alphabetical order: accent, efficient, different, dollar, sufficient) and that's it. There's nothing more. Frustrating!! lol. But even if you don't think about it, you also use the imperative in English every day. In Spain, the rule they teach us for the English imperative is that it's never written with "to" and it's the only one that is said without a personal pronoun. That is to say: "Go away!! Have fun!! F...k Off," etc. In summary, I'm sure that in England or USA etc., they don't teach you in-depth what you define in your text as "just the words," but in Spanish, as well as in German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Greek... you need to know the instructions in order to navigate the language without getting lost, but with the satisfaction of the consistency and coherence that English can't provide. (i.e.: "Fungi" I've heard this word said in four different ways). On the other hand, in England, I can "kick the dictionary" and they still understand me, lol. Well, sorry for the long rant, but I smoked and I'm interested in the subject, lol.

Queen 👑, thank you for this ❤️

watched this video the night before my spanish exam, really did me justice!

Love this video🎉 thank you❤

Thanks for the lesson. I used to have problems with tenses, but not yet

Thank you for this video. I think a problem many native English speakers (including myself) have when learning another language is that we often didn't learn all these tenses and moods in English. So when trying to learn another language we are overwhelmed. While I can easily understand HOW to form various tenses in Spanish (and French) I do not fully understand WHEN and WHY a particular tense is used (as opposed to a different tense). And I am not certain how to translate all the various tenses into English. Videos like this one cover that gap in our knowledge. (I can equate it to a problem some people have learning calculus. Professors say the problem is often that they don't fully understand algebra which is a prerequisite for calculus. Similarly one must fully understand tenses in English before attempting to learn them in another language.) I will watch your other KZread videos on tenses. Edit: I meant to add this at the end of my comment but I forgot. You have beautiful hair.

As a french speaking person I'm kind of used to all this but when I think of it it's like learning all of it all over again

I am tense about all those tenses... They put me in a mood that is not good. What gives me hope is there are those like you who know what you are talking about and you do it with a smile. I have to take it slow but not so slow that I stop, so I am going to get one down and move on, poco a poco.

Yes many native English speakers have the same problem. We learned English growing up but didn't learn much about tenses or grammar.

This is a great video and the blog is very comprehensive, but what would be the most helpful is a link to a pdf with the wonderful chart showing all the tenses. It’s clearly laid out and an invaluable document. Please attach the file.

Appreciate this video, definitely a bit much. Would like to see a video of examples for present past future tense and so on simplified with common verbs.

I love that you put the Conditional as a 4th Mood. It really should be, since it’s an attitude in and of itself. However, why is the Compound Conditional not in the middle column? It works the same as all the other tenses with “perfect” aspect. E.g. “habría estudiado si tuviera los libros” (haber in conditional form plus a past participle)

Other videos out there where they teach this again with a different word? I want to see this with a couple other words so I can tell what’s happening with the conjugation

difference between learning and mastering the content

Got Spanish gcse tomorrow

watching this the night before my final spanish exam...

So, is there a difference between “habría+verbo(-ido)” and “hubiera+verbo(-ido)”? …both means “would have”, and the conditional in this sense is kinda “subjunctive-esque“. Thank you for this video! 😭 so helpful!

The example of yo estudiaba derecho pero luego yo cambié a arquitectura was very helpful to understand the difference between the past tenses. Fiyerrr

@xavierr4508

4 ай бұрын

Hi! To sound more native you should drop the pronoun "Yo": "Estudiaba Derecho, pero luego cambié a Arquitectura." "cambié" only applies to the "Yo" pronoun. "Estudiaba" in isolation is kind of ambiguous (who was studying (Yo, Él, Ella)?) , but for the context it's clear that also applies to "Yo".

I’ve never known the conditional tense to be described as a mood. And a lot of the tenses have different names.

2 minutes in and my mind is boggled because it might aswell be: "we have wigworms, bluts, hons and hiccups. Within each category we have the supergator, witch, ketchups, haberte, quavers and snakes. Within the supergator, witch and ketchup we have the introductory capitals, wooden spoon and bowl creators. I know what you're thinking, and yes. Wooden spoons can also be tensed like the sub-hibernation of a hyper witch but we'll cover that later"

Structurally and theoretically, this lesson is very sound but this is not the way many people learn languages. An easier way to understand each tense/mood is to give more than one example! There is very little actual Spanish in this video! I speak Spanish every day but many of these examples zip by too quickly to even read them. A single example of each tense/mood data point is not enough to cement a concept into the brain, even in your native language.

You can literally skip all the way to 7:20 for most people lol
