PRESENT PERFECT
The present perfect tense is formed by
using the present tense of the auxiliary
verb "haber" with the past participle.


he    hemos
                            (vosotros) Habéis comido.
has   habéis
                            You-all have eaten.
ha    han

                                           (yo) He comido.
                                           I have eaten.

ADVERBS
Most Spanish adverbs are formed by adding -mente to the
feminine singular form of the adjective. This ending
corresponds to -ly in English.

 Adjective           Fem. Form Adverb
 claro               clara               claramente
 constante           constante           constantemente
 difícil             difícil             difícilmente



                                 Bastante-quite   Nunca-never
                                 Demasiado-too    Peor-worse
                                 Mal-badly        Poco-little
                                 Mucho-a lot      Siempre-always
                                 Muy-very
SUBJUNCTIVE
a menos que ...
unless ..
es fácil que ...
it's likely that ...
es importante que ...
it's important that ...
es imposible que ...
it's impossible that ...
es improbable que ...
it's unlikely that ...
es incierto que ...
it's uncertain that ...
es increíble que ...
it's incredible that ...
“SE” IMPERSONAL
the verb is ALWAYS in the third person and you always use
“se”
In English, its usually accomplished by using verbs such as
"himself" or "themselves." Se is used as the reflexive
pronoun for third-person uses (including when usted or
ustedes is the subject). Some can be used reflexively in
Spanish even though they aren't translated that way in
English.



Se comió los tacos. (He ate up the tacos.)
PROGRESSIVES
.         IR ANDAR SEGUIR
Seguir/Andar/Continuar + gerund (present
participle) = to still do something or to go
on doing it;

Sigo yendo al mismo bar desde hace cinco años.

Ir + gerund = the same, but emphasising
the gradualness or laboriousness of the
process;

Poco a poco voy intentando mejorar mi español.
