You can get the rules or patterns for the tenses from any grammar book. The compound tenses can easily be built with the tenses of haber and the past participle of the verb you are learning. | |
| Oct 21, 2018 at 22:09 | comment | added | dedded | I suppose I need the tables, also an explanation of any patterns or principals that make learning the tables easier. As I'm just beginning, I don't know if it's reasonable to not have tables of the compound tenses you mention. Are those rare enough to ignore (like the subjunctive in English)? Or are they derivable from a set of rules and the basic tables? | |

You don't need to know a lot of Spanish to look up verbs in the index in order to find the correct verb table - you just need to understand the names of the tenses. If you also need a different type of content (e.g. use of the tenses?), then the book by Sanchez & Davis is not for you. | |
