Hello Everyone, 😊
In today’s lesson we are going to study the following topic: ”PAST TENSE” in Galician.
Please feel free to edit this page if you think it can be improved!
Happy learning!
Rules
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”.
