Difference between 'traer' and 'llevar'
I haven't brought a tent:
No he traído una tienda de campaña. No he llevado una tienda de campaña. Is there any difference in meaning between these two verbs? Which one is more common in Spain?

traer = bring from there to here
llevar = bring from here to there No he traído una tienda de campaña --->I haven't brought a tent (I'm here and I don't have a tent with me) No he llevado una tienda de campaña ---> I haven't brought a tent (to that location ***) [there's a difference in how the tense is understood depending it is Spain -*** = recently- or América -***= any time-] The meanings of llevar and traer don't change with the country.
