When you're learning present tense conjugation, you have two things to worry about.
First, you have to learn the vocab. You need to know that "trabajar" means "to work" and "hablar" means "to talk".
Second, you need to memorize and practice your verb endings well enough that you can conjugate on the fly. As you're talking.
Well, I've got good news for you.
In the past tense, you don't have to worry about the vocab again. "Trabajar" still means "to work".
But I've also got bad news for you.
There are two past tenses in Spanish. Each with a full conjugation. So that's TWO new sets of endings you have to learn.
And even worse, you have to choose between the two different past tenses! And keep those conjugations straight!
But don't you worry.
I've got a ton of new videos coming your way over the next six weeks--focusing exclusively on the Spanish past tense.
Starting today.
Today's video is the big picture, aerial view.
What's going on?
How's it different than what we do in English?
Why's it give us such trouble?
So just sit back. Relax. And click play.
I'll be back real soon, and we'll go deeper and fill in the holes.
Any questions--please ask!
