Phrases in all tenses

Question

¡Hola a todos! I have my spanish exam next week, and I was just wondering (for the essay), so I don't start panicking when it comes to timing and trying to include as much as possible. Is there any set phrases in the different tenses that I could try to learn and include? I tried to think of some myself, but I needed some that can be used for any question. Thank you, Chloe x

Answer 1

I think that if you have been taking Spanish in a class, you realize that THAT's what the textbook is about. It's Spanish. You learn words, then structure (putting the words together following Spanish grammar rules.) You also learn the tenses over a long period of time.

I am a Professor of Spanish. There are set phrases that are used, but they would have been introduced to you in the course of the class. I have no Idea which "set phrases" you have been taught, as every textbook is different.

However the vocabulary and the grammar are much the same regardless of the textbook. You merely need to learn what has been presented in class. I doubt that your teacher will "spring" anything new on you that hasn't been previously taught, and practiced by you. If you have paid SERIOUS attention in class, and done all the work to the best of your ability, you will have nothing to worry about.

Buena suerte.

Answer 2

What do you mean by tenses? Past, future, conditional...?

Also what kind of questions/phrases?

This is a very general question.

Sorry if I didn't display enough information, I wasn't actually sure how to word it. Yes, all tenses really - past, future, conditional, imperfect pluperfect... And basically anything! Anything at all that I could include. - 00565c2e, May 18, 2016

Answer 3

Here is what you need.

yo hablo
yo hablé
yo hablaba
tú hablas
tú hablaste
tú hablabas
...it's all there.

How that's going to do you any good, I don't know.

Well, you have the present, preterite, and imperfect tences of the yo and tú forms of "hablar." - Daniela2041, May 19, 2016
