What verb tense in Spanish do you find most difficult? [discussion + tips]

Question

What Spanish verb tense do you find the most difficult?

I created this board so you could share your opinion. I also created this so you can help. What I mean by that is if you see a person who struggles at a tense you excel at, you can give them your own personal tips!

For me, it's telling when to use preterite and imperfect. I understand the conjugations and irregulars, but applying it is difficult for me.

Answer 1

Preterite for the conjugations, but definitely the various past subjunctives for when to use.
