  6. The present perfect Have ___________ed.

  7. The Present Perfect in English • The verb have/has + past participle • Used to describe recent events: • I have (just) eaten a worm. • They’ve (just) hit me. • Also used to describe a completed event in the past without indicating when it happened. • I’ve climbed Mt.

  8. In Spanish the present perfect is formed by Haber + past participle.

  12. One way to express the future in Spanish is to use the verb Ir—It is irregular, so it looks weird.

To express the future, use a form of the verb Ir + a + an infinitive (dictionary form of a verb). • (Yo) voya cortar el queso. • I’m goingto cut the cheese. • Ella vaa leer los documentos hoy. • She is goingto read the documents today. • (Nosotros) vamosa bailar la jula. • We are goingto dance the hula.
