A1 tenses
El Pretérito Perfecto
The recent-past tense of Spanish. What you use for actions that happened today, this week, this year, or that connect to the present moment. Built from haber + past participle. In Latin American Spanish, often replaced by the pretérito indefinido even for very recent events.
A2 pronouns
Object Pronouns (lo, la, los, las, le, les, me, te)
The little words that replace nouns. Spanish has direct (lo, la, los, las), indirect (le, les), and a famous quirk — when both meet, le and les become se. Master these and Spanish sentences shorten by half.
A1 articles
Articles (el, la, los, las, un, una, unos, unas)
Spanish articles are simpler than French or Italian. Four definite forms (el, la, los, las) and four indefinite (un, una, unos, unas). One quirk — feminine words starting with stressed "a" take "el" anyway. Usage patterns largely match the other Romance languages.
