Tense Tide

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

• Desktop: click the conjugation choice
• Phone & tablet: tap the answer options, fully touch-driven

• Daily: the same sentence stream for everyone each day
• Practice: a fresh stream every run
• Easy, Medium and Hard add subtler markers and more tenses

• Learn a handful of time-words per tense, they are your whole signal
• Scan for the marker first, then read the verb
• Don't assume the tense carries over; each sentence resets it
