Conjugación de verbos
Hola !!
De lo que tengo entendido, los verbos conjugan en : tempus (tiempo), modus (modo) y persona. ¿Es correcto? por ejemplo. modo - indicativo, subjuntivo, condicional y imperativo ( claro que hay más, pero los principal son estos, no? tiempo- presente y imperfecto (los principales ?) y persona: yo, tú, él y ella, nosotros, vosotros, ellos ? |

yo : first person singular nosotros: first person plural etc. Voice is either active or passive (although the Spanish passive voice is avoided, it does exist so you must be aware of it. An example: Este libro fue escrito por un amigo mío) |

You are welcome. Spanish usually turns the passive voice into an active one. Here is a primitive example:
He is called Juan 3rd person singular present indicative passive This translates into Se llama Juan (= he calls himself Juan) 3rd person singular present indicative active This is logical for people, because Juan probably does call himself Juan. But not logical for, say, a new baby, because it can't speak . Nor is it logical for animals, because they don't call themselves anything. But that's how it works. |

Quote:
tiempo = tense (past, present, future) modo = mood (indicative, subjunctive, conditional, imperative) persona = person (first, second, third) número = number (singular, plural) voz = voice (active, passive) The other factors include: a. perfect (or perfective) vs. imperfect (or imperfective) [sometimes called "aspect"] b. progressive/continuous vs. non-progressive/non-continuous [also sometimes considered to be part of "aspect"] Perfect vs. imperfect is relevant only for past tenses in Spanish, äs we have: past tense, indicative mood, perfect aspect = pretérito perfecto simple: comí, comíste, comió, comimos, comisteis, comieron and: past tense, indicative mood, imperfect aspect = pasado imperfecto: comía, comías, comía, comíamos, comíais, comían. Actually, Spanish has 2 variations on the perfect aspect, as EVERY simple verb form of most verbs has a corresponding "perfecto compuesto" = "compound perfect" form consisting of the corresponding simple form of the verb "haber" + the "-do" form (often called the "past participle") of the original verb: simple infinitive "hacer" = to do, compound perfect infinitive "haber hecho" = to have done. Similarly, EVERY simple verb form of most verbs has a corresponding progressive/continuous form consisting of the corresponding simple form of the verb + the "-ndo" form (often called the present participle or the gerundio) of the original verb: simple infinitive "hacer" = to do, progressive/continuous infinitive "estar haciendo" = to be doing. |
