spanish grammar help
Hola!

I'm looking for someone to explain the difference between the Indicative and the Perfect tenses in spanish. Obviously you can just write it as a response. Please don't shy. Thank you in advance if I don't respond back.

Language pair: English; Spanish

Re:spanish grammar help
For indicative present (presente indicativo), you must understand first ehte infinitive verb. All infinitive verbs ends with ar-er-ir. Well, then to be in present, ypu must change the ar-er-ir with other ends which depends from the person:
I (yo) with o
You (tú) with as-es
He/She (él/ella) with a-e
we (nosotros) with amos-imos
they/you-in-plural (ellos/ustedes) with en-an

For example, with the verbs escribir (write) and amar (love)
Yo escribO amO
Tú escribes amAS
Él escribe amA
Nosotros escribIMOS amAMOS
Ustedes/ellos escribEN amAn

There are exceptionals verbs, and it is the use from latin America. In Spain could change a little bit.

Hope it could help to start with it.
