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!
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?
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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...
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
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.
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")
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

For sure! It's all about learning enough to get momentum, then learning as you go.
This is just the video I needed! Muchisimas gracias ☺

I’ll try it.
You've just earned a new sub mi amigo. Muchas gracias.
Thanks for another very helpful video, Connor! I definitely need to add a few common verbs in preterite tense to my arsenal.
Never hurts! Yo hice, dije, fui, vi, estuve, pensé, comí... these are all good ones to start with
Jesus bro. This is exactly what I needed

@@BreakthroughSpanish Thank you for taking the time to respond, and for the very useful advice. Noted for future reference.
Would it be Yo he visitado? I’ve also seen yo hay visitado?
Lord 👌
sorry about the mistake, I should have checked it before I sent it. Harry
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say Yo había comido for expressing past tense of I ate?
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
@@BreakthroughSpanishThanks! If I say Ayer, yo he caminado por el parque. I would be understood to say Yesterday I walked through the park.
@@mb3775 yep!
