In this section, we will learn all about how to conjugate verbs in various important tenses in Spanish. Whether this is new or a review, I hope you will feel confident in using a variety of tenses by the time we are through the section.

Here we are, regular present tense, our first tense of the Conjugations section.

Today, we will learn how to use present tense in Spanish, so we can say things like:

I visit

She drinks

They travel

If this is review you may not need much repetition of the video or extra practice, but if this is new to you, no shame in taking your time and getting lots of practice.

Now it's time for the verbs that don't follow the regular present tense guidelines, known as irregular present tense.

Today, we will be able to say things like:

I want

She has

They understand

If this is review you may not need much repetition of the video or extra practice, but if this is new to you, no shame in taking your time and getting lots of practice.

Now its time for progressive tense, better known as -ing.

Today, we will learn how we can say things like:

I am buying

She was eating

They are drinking

If this is review you may not need much repetition of the video or extra practice, but if this is new to you, no shame in taking your time and getting lots of practice.

We have arrived at a fun group of tenses, future (will) and conditional (would).

Today, we will learn how to say things like:

I will speak

She would have

They will know

If this is review you may not need much repetition of the video or extra practice, but if this is new to you, no shame in taking your time and getting lots of practice.

Now its time to get bossy with commands. We will only be learning one kind of command, called a tú command.

With this tense, we can now say:

Come!

Visit!

Don't drink!

If this is review you may not need much repetition of the video or extra practice, but if this is new to you, no shame in taking your time and getting lots of practice.
