hay cualquier verbos tenses que no necesito aprender?

Answer 1

thank you. I guess my question is can i get by with indicative, subjunctive, perfect, perfect subjunctive that this site references in the conjugation section?

You are mixing moods and tenses. There are 10 tenses in indicative and 6 in subjunctive. There is, for example, a present perfect both in indicative and subjunctive.

To "get by" you don't even need tenses, conjugations, articles... You just say "I go cinema tomorrow" and "I go cinema yesterday", and hopefully everyone will understand you... most of the time. If you want to speak with the fluency of a 6 year old native speaker, you need 9 tenses in indicative, 4 in subjunctive, plus imperative.

Indicative		Subjunctive
present	present perfect	present	present perfect
imperfect	pluperfect	imperfect	pluperfect
preterite	[not very used]
future	future perfect	[obsolete]	[obsolete]
conditional	conditional perfect

Lazarus very useful chart thank you:) I realize that I still need to know ho wto form and use the future and conditional perfect in the indicative and present and pluperfect subjunctive. ..in addition to becoming more familiar with and confident in .. - FELIZ77, Aug 30, 2011

Welcome to the forum, dashea

Actually, we use a lot of tenses in Spanish, but one is not used any more, that is the Future subjunctive, I guess you have not even heard about it...

Funnily enough I would have said exactly the same Heidi:) - FELIZ77, Aug 29, 2011

gracias a todos. I guess there are no shortcuts

Don't take shortcuts when learning, especially when you're learning a new language.

Sure, you may not ever use them when speaking, but what about when someone else is speaking to you? Also, what about when reading? Take the advice of people who've posted before me. ¡Buena suerte!
