Shortcuts to put Spanish verbs in past and future Flashcards
Short cut for past tense?
Note that for most verbs incl ir you can put stuff in the past by doing
I/you/ he/ we HAVE (yo he, tu has, el/ella/usted/ ha, nosotros hemos) then add,
if infinitive of verb ends in ir then remove “ir” and add “ido” ->ends w “ido”
if verb ends in er remove the “er” and and add “ido”
if verb ends in ar, then remove the “ar” and add “ado” .
So for “Ir” would be Yo he ido.
Tu has ido el/ella/ usted ha ido Nosotros hemos ido
For conducir would be: Yo he conducido Tu has conducido El… ha. conducido Nosotros hemos conducido
For comer would be yo he comido Tu has. comido El… usted. comido Ellos.. comido Nosotros. comido
For tener would be Yo. tenido Tu has. tenido
etc
For esquiar would be yo he esquiado Tu has. esquiado
etc
