If listening is rough
On paper, the time word or opinion frame often sits right in the sentence. Circle it first, pick the tense, then conjugate. Do not start with the verb and hope the tense shows up later.
Listening is the same trick when you can catch one word: ayer → pretérito, mientras → imperfecto, mañana → futuro, ya / este año → perfecto, ahora → progresivo.
