Temporal and Aspectual Properties of the Category Perfecto / Perfect in Spanish and English: A Didactic Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the present article is to describe the temporal and aspectual characteristics of the category perfecto / perfect in Spanish and English from a didactic perspective. A contrastive study will be presented, which will compare the verbal forms of Spanish pretérito perfecto compuesto tense with verbal forms of English present perfect tense. The present article is motivated by the need to reflect on the didactic use of the comparative study for Polish students learning Spanish as a foreign language, for whom the only reference point may be English, given that there is no temporal opposition in Polish such as pretérito perfecto compuesto / pretérito perfecto simple.
