Is that what you're useless at?

Only through lack of practice
:( I forget all the tricky past tenses.

My bf never knows when to use each of them
It makes it very funny, as for us a sentence means something completely different depending on which past you use. He doesn't like me laughing at him.

Future is also tricky
I end up using "voy a *verb*" instead. Cheating!

Haha!
It's not a bad trick. The problem with the past is that you have 2 past tenses and we have 6, that's without counting the continuous tenses. He can't understand why we need 4 more than you.

We have as well 4 futures instead of 1 like you, but I think they're easier to understand.

All romances languages are like that
And German is not easier.

I'm not even going to try to remember "I used to"
Fuera a? Jesus. No, that's I went. Noooo :(

Fueria?
My brain hurts. Luckily most general conversation only needs present and some easy past/future.
