SPANISH TENSES https://www.clozemaster.com/blog/spanish-tenses/,…

- - - - ER VERB
      - AR VERB
      - IR VERB
- - - - when you want to talk about specific events that happened at a certain time in the past.
        
        formed by changing the endings of the verb, which will be different depending if the verb ends in -ar, -er, or -ir.
        
        ER VERB
        
        IR VERB
        
        AR VERB
      - PAST IMPERFECT TENSE
        
        used for speaking about past habitual events,
        
        the regular -er and -ir endings are exactly the same, so there are only two distinctions.
        
        AR VERB
        
        ER/ IR VERB
- - - - similar to using the world will in English.
        
        the future tense takes the whole verb and adds to the end of it. - there is only one conjugation for all types of verbs.
    - - the equivalent of the English “would” do something
        
        could be both in the case of a condition,
        
        eg: “I would go if you wanted me to” (Yo iría si tú quisieras),
        
        or when referring to the future from a point in the past,.
        
        eg: “She asked me if I would come back” (Ella me preguntó si yo volvería)
        
        by adding an inflection to the end of the verb, very similar to the future tense.
        
        The conditional tense, like the past imperfect, uses the exact same forms for the first and third person, :green_cross: so being clear with who you’re talking about is usually necessary.

- - - - example
        
        When you don’t think something is true.
        
        E.g: I don’t think he’s drinking tonight. | No creo que él tome hoy.
        
        When you hope something will happen.
        
        When you talk about the moment something happens in the future.
        
        E.g: When I travel to Uruguay, I’m going to visit all the monuments in the country. | Cuando viaje a Uruguay, voy a conocer todos los monumentos del país.
        
        When you don’t have a specific one in mind.
        
        E.g: Find a chair that can handle this weight. | Encuéntrame una silla que pueda aguantar este peso.
        
        When it’s whatever.
        
        E.g: Do whatever you want. | Haz lo que tú quieras.
        
        When you’re imposing something on somebody else.
        
        E.g: I want you to wash the dishes. | Quiero que laves los platos.
        
        General well-wishing.
        
        E.g: Hope you find a new job soon! | ¡Que encuentres un nuevo trabajo pronto!
        
        (Note that here, you could add ‘espero’ but the sentence also works fine without it.)
