The verbal tense It is the grammatical category that locates the performance of an action or locates a state. An action can be placed in the present tense (love, fear, part); past time (loved, feared, departed) or future tense (will love, fear, depart).

The verb tense is marked by the elements that correspond to the forms of the conjugation. They are called simple if the action is expressed with a single word (we love). The compounds are expressed with more than one word, generally an auxiliary verb and a participle (we have loved).

Indicative mode times

Present (I love, I fear, I give birth). Place the action at the time it is expressed or in the immediate future. It expresses permanent or stable situations. Describe repeating actions or routines. For example: I go to English on Mondays and Thursdays.
Simple past perfect (loved, feared, departed). It expresses actions that began and ended in the past, that occurred in a timely manner, or that interrupted other past actions. For example: Last year studied contemporary history in school.
Imperfect past (loved, feared, departed). It expresses actions of the past whose beginning and end are not specified. They also convey the regularity or continuity of an action in the past. For example: Roman traveled inside every month.
Past perfect compound (I have loved, I have feared, I have departed). It expresses actions that have already ended but that continue to have an impact in the present. For example: Last week I have transplanted the pines to these pots.
Past perfect (he had loved, he had feared, he had parted). This time is almost in disuse in the Castilian language. It conveys an event that is prior to another past event and that has occurred soon after. For example: Barely had received his exam grade, Juan went to celebrate with his classmates.
Past perfect (I had loved, I had feared, I had departed). It conveys that a past action was prior to another that also occurred in the past. For example: When I went to talk to Tomás, I already know had found out of what happened.
Composite future (will have loved, will have feared, will have departed). It expresses that something will happen in relation to the moment in which it is pronounced but, at the same time, it is a previous action with respect to another to come. For example: When my parents return from Europe I will I will have finished the completed.
Simple future (will love, fear, depart). It expresses an action that is about to take place, absolutely. For example: My friend will come to study this afternoon.

Tenses of the subjunctive mood

Present (love theme part). It is often used as an imperative or in subordinate clauses, along with certain expressions that express a present or future action. It is a hopeful future. For example: I would love that you approve that exam.
Perfect tense (I have loved, I have feared, I have departed). It is a compound tense, similar to the present subjunctive. Express admiration or actions that are over but are related to the action in the topic sentence. For example: Once you finished homework, I'll take you out for ice cream.
Imperfect past (love / love, fear / fear, part / part). It is used in subordinate clauses, after certain formulas. It can refer to something that happened simultaneously or before the moment it is expressed, depending on whether the main verb of the sentence is in the past or present. For example: I would really appreciate it if you helps to carry these suitcases.
Past perfect (would / would have loved, would / would have feared, would / would have parted). It is composed of the past imperfect of the subjunctive of the verb to have and the participle of the verb in question. It transmits actions that could have occurred or would have occurred in the past, if the circumstances had been different. For example: If you I would have said Before I was promoted, I'm sure it wouldn't have helped me.
Perfect future (would have loved, would have feared, would have parted). It is composed of the auxiliary to have in future imperfect and by the passive participle of the verb in question. This time contains an idea that is past. For example: One who would have studied expressionism, you will enjoy the exhibition in the museum.
Imperfect future (I will love, sing, partiere). It is in disuse, except in the legal field. It is similar to the past imperfect or the present subjunctive. For example: Everyone who I will obey to the rules, you will not have problems.
