Description
With these tables, at a glance, learners can know which tenses and moods belong to beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels of Spanish. This is essential for planning and goal-setting. They can immediately see logical patterns through the consistent and methodical layout of the tables. They can almost instantly start forming sentences similar to the examples listed adding more vocabulary as needed. And they can work individually or in a team in a classroom setting where they would form a sentence and change its tense or pronoun at will to produce families of sentences. While they would probably have to peek at the tables to do so at first, it won’t take them long before they can speak without peeking. Mastery of verb tenses and conjugations can be achieved with practice but only after sufficient levels of logic, confidence, and comfort are established. And once that mastery is coupled with a growing vocabulary, fluency is attained.
