Tense Tide

Conjugate fast as the required tense silently shifts — the only clue is the time-word hidden in each sentence.

How to play

A stream of Spanish sentences flows past, each containing a time-marker like ayer, ahora or mañana. That marker quietly tells you whether the blanked verb must be past, present or future — but the tense itself is never named. Read the time-word, fill the verb in the right tense, and keep pace as the required tense shifts across the stream.

• Spot the time-marker in each sentence
• Deduce the tense it implies — past, present or future
• Choose the verb conjugated in that tense
• Keep up as the implied tense changes from sentence to sentence
