    In Galician there are no perfect tenses, in that sense it is closer to Latin than other romance languages. ”Eu fixen” means ”I did”, in Spanish you have both ”yo hice” and ”yo he hecho”. Pluscuamperfect: ”Eu fixera”= (Sp) ”Yo había hecho”, I had done in English. The parcial exception are verbs with ”Ter” (have) and participle, implying a repeated action in the past: ”Tiña estado tres veces en París” means ”I had already been three times in Paris”.
