Now the hapless beginner, having learned the AR conjunctions, finds herself faced with another “trick.” She’s slapped in the face with the present of the tú form (rosetta spanish) and the past tú form conjugation begins to get ugly: tú “amaste.” Where did that come from? Remember, no need to use the pronoun, but I am using pronouns here for simplification. Our little Georgian now realizes that if she is to learn Spanish, she must make distinctions with which she is totally unfamiliar.
