Practice The Present Perfect Indicative Tense
The perfect indicative in Spanish, akin to its English equivalent but with notable differences, is a composite tense utilized for denoting past actions or events that maintain their validity in the present. It also signifies situations where the effects persist or have ongoing relevance. Unlike English, this tense can be applied to narrate very recent events that have concluded, and in certain contexts and regions of the Spanish-speaking world, it may be used interchangeably with the preterite tense.
It's time to practice!
