Stop staring at conjugation tables. In this video, I explain what I think you should do instead, and how to do it. It'll get you expressing yourself in the past in a simple way -without sounding like a caveman, and without waiting until "you get there" to be able to talk about what happened yesterday, last month, or last year.

WHOA! This opened a whole world for me! I see these “he, han” all the time and never knew what it was, thank goodness for this video and thanks for not making it 45 minutes!

@BreakthroughSpanish 6 месяцев назад

thanks Braden! glad you liked it.

@user-gu7mq7kr8b 10 месяцев назад

Wow! What could be simpler? Remember two endings and one easy conjugation - he, he, has, has, ha, ha etc. Great tip, very do-able. I believe that what you call a language learning 'hack', verdad?

@bigmac1371 6 месяцев назад

So pleased I watched this its makes it so much easier to take in. Gracias amigo!

@ryankane952 2 года назад

Love the "he caminado" shortcut for the start of learning Spanish when conjugations are overwhelming. This is even more straightforward in the case of "voy a" for future tense!

@BreakthroughSpanish 2 года назад

For sure! It's all about learning enough to get momentum, then learning as you go.

Thanks for another very helpful video, Connor! I definitely need to add a few common verbs in preterite tense to my arsenal.

@BreakthroughSpanish 2 года назад

Never hurts! Yo hice, dije, fui, vi, estuve, pensé, comí... these are all good ones to start with

@harrybell8092 2 года назад

Hi Connor, I,ve just started listening to your lessons and I'm really impressed with your natural way of teaching. I will continue to keep watching your to your videos. Cheers Harry

@BreakthroughSpanish 2 года назад

Harry, thanks for the kind words! I'm happy to hear you enjoy the videos. Best of luck with your Spanish!

@phyllismonroe4117 2 года назад

Very interesting. I’m only a year into my Spanish, and I will certainly use this. I know I will be able to speak with others easier as I find the preterit tense difficult. I just found your channel last week. Thanks for your help.

@BreakthroughSpanish 2 года назад

Thanks for your comment, Phyllis! I'm glad to hear you found it helpful. You'll get the hang of the preterite eventually (start with practicing the first person for a few key verbs). But in the meantime, this can help you get your ideas across

@JuanMoreno-wo5yb 7 месяцев назад

I’ll try it.

@Angelthedog Год назад

Wow! Very well done. Pimsleur didn't explain this at all. Just started throwing them in. Never sure about ha, hacer, or whatever. I have a blueprint now.

@pauleff3312 Год назад

No tenía un problema con estos consejos cuando empezé estudiar el idioma a causa que hacía más de 40 años desde había aprendido hablar el francés ... Me di cuenta que podía engañar con haber + los participios pasados bastante rapido (exactamente como el francés) - mi problema ahorita es que sigo hacerlo "naturalemente" aun que yo sé que sea mejor de usar el preterito o el imperfecto. Y puedo decir que disfruto mucho hacer los verbos en español...

@BreakthroughSpanish Год назад

que bueno que te guste aprender los verbos en español, eso te va a servir sin duda. No me sorprende que la forma de conjugar en francés te tiene un poco confundido. Es útil saber idiomas parecidos, pero también complica

@kinhelfa 2 года назад

Muchisimos gracias, Connor. La próxima semana VOY A VIAJAR a España CONOCER a mi esposa y CAMINAR el Camino Francés. VOY A USAR tus CONSEJOS (tips?). Please excuse my beginner level Español, but I hope it illustrates that what I have just learnt from your 'tenses' videos is easily understood and, hopefully, useful in a practical sense/scenarios.

@BreakthroughSpanish 2 года назад

great work! nothing wrong with being a beginner, you're doing great. Two tips here would be, 'muchísimas* gracias' with an a, and "voy a viajar a España para encontrarme con mi esposa" (you need 'para' in there, and conocer meets to meet, but more for the first time, so I assume you mean "meet up with", which is better expressed by "encontrarse con xyz")

@mb3775 2 года назад

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say Yo había comido for expressing past tense of I ate?

@BreakthroughSpanish 2 года назад

había comido = I had eaten he comido = I have eaten. This structure is used fairly often in Spain to say "I ate", but in Latin America it's generally most accurate to say "yo comí" (but that was outside the scope of this video). Using Haber + past participle is definitely not a substitute for learning how to use the other past tenses, but it's a nice way to just start expressing yourself without getting so hung up on conjugations that you avoid all topics related to the past
