  11. Para formar en español • In Spanish we form the present perfect by combining the present tense of the verb haber(the helping verb, or el verbo auxiliar)with a past participle • For example: • Yo he bailado. I have danced. • Nosotros no hemos estudiado para el examen. We haven’t studied for the test.

  12. The present tense of haber

  13. Para formar… Here are the present perfect forms of estudiar:

  14. Now you try… On your notes, see if you can figure out the present perfect forms for the verb hablar:

  15. Is this what you came up with?

  16. Let’s try another… Now see if you can form the present perfect forms of the verb tomar:

  17. Is this what you got?

  18. Let’s try another one…see if you can come up with the present perfect tense of ir:

  19. Is this what you came up with?

  20. Many of you may have assumed that ir had an irregular past participle. Afterall, it does have an irregular present participle. But ir is actually regular in this form.

  22. Pluperfect(Past Perfect)(Pluscuamperfecto) The past perfect (also called the pluperfect and, in Spanish, the pluscuamperfecto), remember, is the past of the past and translates with “had” in English. ALL perfect tenses get a helping verb and a past participle: present perfect he haseaten past perfect he hadeaten future perfect he will haveeaten conditional perfect he would haveeaten

  23. As you saw, the present perfect tense has a set of helping verbs that come from “haber”: he hemos has habéis ha han The same is true of the past perfect. The helping verbs for the past perfect are the imperfect form of “haber”: había hablado habíamos hablado habías hablado habíais hablado había hablado habían hablado

  24. Note that the endings on “haber” for the past perfect are the endings for the imperfect tense: había habíamos habías habíais había habían The present perfect is the PRESENT tense of “haber” + the past participle. The past perfect tense is the IMPERFECT (PAST) tense of “haber” + the past participle. Guess what the future perfect tense is composed of. But that’s another lesson.
