The modern Spanish verb paradigm (conjugation) has 16 distinct complete forms (tenses), i.e. sets of forms for each combination of tense, mood and aspect, plus one incomplete tense (the imperative), as well as three non-temporal forms (the infinitive, gerund, and past participle).

The three basic verb tenses in Spanish are present (Presente), past (Pretéritos), and future (Futuros). The present tense, indicative, expresses current events, while the past tenses, pretéritos, indicate completed acts, past actions, and actions prior to another. Future tenses, futuros, describe future events in motion and activities. Each ten has distinct forms or features. These are the primary verb tenses in Spanish, covering a range of time frames from the immediate present to the distant future and various aspects of the past. Each tense has its own conjugation patterns, which are used to match the subject and express the time and certainty of the action. read less
