Rules[edit | edit source]

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”.
