Hi Granaldo, let me count: - Presente - Indefinido (sometimes Pretérito) - Imperfecto - Perfecto - Plusquamperfecto - Futuro simple - Futuro Perfecto Those are the 7 tenses. Then you have some more in the "Subjuntivo" mode - Presente - Imperfecto (2 forms, but same meaning) - Futuro 3-4 forms and - just to be complete - you have the one "Condicional" mode Kind Regards, Daniel

The number of forms of Spanish verbs is apparently forbidding because in traditional grammars it is customary to treat "periphrastic" constructions as if they belonged to the paradigm of their semantically more important verb (the "main verb"), but that makes paradigms look much bigger than they really are, it is unnecessary, and I recommend you NOT to think of Spanish verbs in that way. (Note that even English has very large paradigms if you include all the periphrastic forms that result from adding auxiliaries, and yet it is supposed to be a language with just two tenses!). If, on the contrary, you think of "periphrastic" forms starting with HABER, ESTAR, or SER and, of course, "modals" like PODER, DEBER, TENER QUE, etc. (and all their combinations! :-)) as forms of THE FIRST verb followed by its respective VERBAL COMPLEMENT (an infinitive, a participle), which, in its turn, may be followed by ITS OWN verbal complement, and so on, the "paradigms" look much simpler and easier to remember. In other words: "periphrastic forms" are regular syntactic combinations that you need not learn by rote. Do not "learn" them; learn to "construct" them and you will find the system much more manageable.

In spanish there are a lot of verbs tense. In first time we can see the "simple time" and "compound time" (i dont know how you say in english). The simple time have three shapes: indicativo, subjuntivo and impertivo. The compound time have three shapes too, the same. The indicativo from simple time have: present, imperfet past, perfet past, simple future and contitional form. The subjuntivo from simple time have: present, imperfet past and simple future. The imperativo from simple time have only one: imperative form. The compound time have: Indicativo: with perfet compound, past perfect, past anterior, compound future and conditional compound. Subjuntivo: perfet past compound, past perfect, compound future. Sorry, i´m not a teacher and i wait to help you.
