Abstract
This paper analyzes the functioning of Portuguese and Spanish regarding the use of the perfect tense, observing the similarities and divergences between these languages, trying to understand, through a contrastive analysis, the use of the foreign language by the learner. Adding to the work, we looked for texts and discussions about issues that address the topic in focus, such as the concept of Interlingua and transference, tense in the Portuguese language and the Spanish language, among others. As a corpus of analysis, we observed transcribed audios produced by students of 4th period of the Spanish undergraduate course (intermediate level). We have resorted to the Antconc software to examine the available material. As a result, it has been seen that there is no significant semantic interference from the mother tongue on this subject, but other types of phenomena occur, such as the generalization of semantic and morphological traits.
