Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Back to basics. Something we can tell right off the bat is that the Present Tense in Spanish can definitely express more than just the present. Today’s lesson helps us make this distinction. How can the Present Tense be used to express a future action? For example, when we say “hablamos esta noche” (let’s talk tonight), to which tense has the verb “hablamos” been conjugated to? But, what tense does it express? In the paradigms today we have “estar”, “ser” and “ir”, three verbs all very unique and quite a bit different than the regular conjugations. Join us for this brief study of form and function and be sure to reference this lesson with other Verb Conjugation lessons focusing on the Present Tense.
