Canadians speak the language of hockey, right?

I really only know two languages, English and Spanish, and I find it more likely for people to be bitching about Spanish. Spanish has so many different tenses, and I can't think of that many for English.

Why don't you guys help me? Find all of the tenses in English of the verb "to jump", that don't use a helping verb like "will" or "has".

jumped

The helping verbs are few in quantity, like was/were, is/are, et cetera.

And how many tenses does Spanish have? A shitton, not to mention you have to correct the conjugation for the subject, so that is literally five times the amount of "verb forms".

It bothers I have to teach my little bro spelling and yet he fails at spelling words that sound one way. For example, if he spells, "punctuation", he can spell it, "punchoation", or something along the lines. With that I get in trouble for his horrible spelling tests....

Sometimes English words for me can sometimes don't make sense sometimes...

A lack of tenses implies that there are going to be lots of words coming before the verb. For instance, a Latin word can use the future-perfect tense in one word while English requires four.

But English is an average language to learn in terms of difficulty. Also the de facto language of the world, so learning to speak it is generally easy.

Why does Spanish have irregulars?

All languages have their rule-breaking words, but people love to target English because we speak English on forums. You are more likely to notice conscience isn't pronounced like science way before you notice some irregular in Spanish breaks the pattern or some s[b][/b]hit like that.

I like your double negations which then becomes a NEGATION SQUARED BUT NOT ANNULIFIEDEDED!
As in 'I don't see no cow.".

But I find English to be pretty easy compared to French or Asian languages.

I always feel sorry for those who have to learn German. It must be a b****.
