“Why do you want to know that?” I asked.

He replied: “Because I was on my way to the bathroom, I got curious, and started thinking: How would I say this in Spanish?”

He continued: “I already know a little about the present tense. But how do I talk about the future in Spanish?”

Easy Ways to Talk about the Past in Spanish

“At one point, I thought I was not going to be able to learn Spanish. There just seemed to be so many words and so many things to learn. I didn’t know how to get started” said Sonia one day while we were having lunch.

Then I asked: “Remember when we reviewed the past tenses in Spanish?”

She replied: “Yes, the way you explained it helped me get unstuck. Before, I used to think the past tense was completely random and illogical and difficult to memorize. But after understanding the patterns I could use; it was much easier. It made sense.”

Then, we continued to have lunch and had a few laughs as she told me a few fun stories about her unusual coworkers. Good times! : )

What’s this about?
