Compound Tenses
Spanish verb conjugations can be divided into simple tenses and compound tenses, and compound tenses can be subdivided into two categories: progressive tenses and perfect tenses. This lesson will explain what you need to know about compound tenses.
Conjugations
Lessons on conjugating the different types of Spanish verbs: -AR, -ER, -IR, G
verbs, reflexive verbs, and more.
Hay
Hay is a very common Spanish expression. It is equivalent to the
general English expressions "there is" or "there are."
Indirect Commands
In
Spanish, indirect commands are used to state a wish or hope that something will
happen or that someone will do something. Indirect commands are formed with que
plus the subjunctive.
Indirect
Object Pronoun Verbs
There are about
a dozen Spanish verbs which must be conjugated with an indirect
object pronoun. This grammatical construction does not exist in English,
but it's not difficult once you get used to it.
Reciprocal verbs
Reciprocal verbs are used to express the idea of reciprocity - doing something
to each other. In Spanish, the plural forms of reflexive verbs are used to
express this idea.
Reflexive Se with Unplanned Occurrences
The reflexive construction is used mainly with reflexive verbs and
reciprocal verbs. It can also be used to describe accidental and
unplanned occurrences.
Reflexive Verbs
These verbs must be used with a reflexive pronoun in order
to indicate that the subject is performing the action of the verb upon
itself. Reflexive verbs exist in English, but they are much more common in
Spanish.
Reflexive Verbs with Meaning Changes
Reflexive verbs are verbs that must be used with a reflexive pronoun
in order to indicate that the subject is performing the action of the verb upon
itself. For some verbs, one or more reflexive meanings may be considerably different from
the non-reflexive meaning(s).
Si Clauses
Many students of Spanish have a hard time with si clauses
(also known as conditionals or conditional sentences), but they are really quite simple.
Study the lessons on each of the main types and then take the quiz.
