Ayer & Mañana
The use of yesterday ( AYER ) indicates the past tense.
Put yesterday (AYER) AT THE START OF THE SENTENSE, and use the present tense of the verb.
For example;
Yesterday I went to the beach.
AYER, voy a la playa.
The use of tomorrow ( MAÑANA ) indicates the future tense.
Put tomorrow (MAÑANA) at the start of the sentence and use the present tense of the verb.
For example;
Tomorrow I will go to the beach.
MAÑANA, voy a la playa.
As in English there are subject pronouns i.e.
SINGULAR
I - yo
you- tÚ
he, she, it = él, ella, usted.
PLURAL
us – nosotros (nosotras)
you – vosotros (vosotras)
them, they = ellos, ellas, ustedes
Normally these subject pronouns are only used for emphases and are put in front of the verb. As you will have noticed there are 6 parts in the conjunction of the verb and in Spanish each part confirms which person or group or thing is doing the action, therefore dispensing with the personal pronoun.
