I'd like to add that in some places in Spain, they don't use the correct tense of the verbs perhaps because there is another language spoken.

For instance, in Galicia, they say "viniera" instead of "vino" (Juan viniera el lunes, for Juan vino el lunes), or "estuve" for "he estado" (estuve ahora en tu casa, instead of he estado ahora en tu casa), I guess it's because they don't use compound verbs in Galician (I'm not really sure). And in Euskadi, for example, I've found people who don't say the articles (voy a garaje a buscar coche, for voy al garaje a buscar el coche)
