I would like to know what verb tenses are mostly used in modern spanish.
As of now I am fairly well with present, preterit, imperfect, conditional, future, present-perfect, present subjenctive. How widely used is imperfect subjenctive,future subjenctive,conditional subjenctive, perfect subjenctive, etc. stuff like that. I know its kind of confusing; I just want to know the most commonly used verb tenses. Thanks |
The future subjunctive is not used in modern Spanish, but can be found in literary works and a couple of sayings.
All the other tenses are used in everyday speech. You'll need to know how to use them all. |

thanks, that clears that up.
how about the perfect, what tenses use this the most. I know the basic perfect endings like hablado,dicho,etc. yo he habldo- i have talked how often used is say, yo haya hablado, yo hubiera hablado? |
Not much. The main usage which springs to mind for the perfect subjunctive is verb-of-emotion + QUE + subjunctive: e.g. "Me gusta que hayas mostrado el deseo de aprender".
And for the pluperfect subjunctive is SI [NO] + pluperfect subjunctive + perfect conditional: e.g. "Si no hubieras preguntado eso, no habría tenido que construir este ejemplo". |

Usualmente he oído el perfecto usado así 1 Perfecto del indicativo He oído:D - I´ve heard Has dicho - You have said Habremos estado - We shall have been 2 Pluscamperfecto del indicativo, un tiempo pasado Había oído - I had heard Habías dicho - You had said Habíamos estado - We had been 3 Perfecto del Subjuntivo También hay un tiempo así (con el subjuntivo), he puesto en la letra itálica las frase que requieren el subjuntivo Haya oído - Les gusta que haya oído sus canciones - They like that I have heard thier songs Hayas dicho - Es bueno que hayas dicho esas palabras porque sean palabras desnudas - It´s great that you´ve said that because its the truth Vayamos a haber estado - Lástima que vayamos a haber estado descansados después un corto recorrido - It´s a pity that we are going to be tired after this short run ("ir" es usado aquí porque como dijo Rusty nunca los españoles use el subjuntivo futuro , a excepción de las obras viejas y los documentales del ley (legal documents) 4 Pluscamperfecto del Subjuntivo Usado en casos parecidos como número 2 que requieren el subjuntivo. También un tiempo pasado Hubiera oído - Si hubiera oído eso, nadie estaría confundido - If I would have heard that then nobody would be confused Hubieras dicho - Les gustaba que eso hubieras dicho- They liked that you said that Hubiéramos estado - Una lástima que hubiéramos estado tal descansados después un corto recorrido - It was a shame that we had been so tired after a short run Espero tener razón en mis explicaciones y que te ayuden :D |
