¿Qué significa?
I have spoken They have drawn
El Presente Perfecto
He Has Ha Hemos Habéis Han
I have You have He/She/It has We Have You all have They, You all have
All perfect verb tenses require two parts:
HABER (conjugated)= To have
…and a PAST PARTICIPLE Hablar Comer Dormir
Hablado Comido Dormido
A past participle is formed by removing the ending of the verb and adding
– Spoken
– Eaten
– Slept
-ADO or -IDO
Participles are VERB CONJUGATIONS; therefore they never change their endings to agree.
¿Cómo?
Una forma de haber es primero un verbo en la forma de un participio es segundo
Haber + verbo & ado / idoYo he venido.
Tú has buscado.And, although they may look funny, the following are
regular forms: Ido Sido
Just for your info…
You’ve been using past participles for a long time, but as adjectives.
Cansado- tired (cansar) Casado- married (casar) Divertido- fun (divertirse) Ocupado- busy (ocuparse)

Is there more?
Of course there is. There are always irregulars but let’s skip that for now and talk about when and how you use the…
Present Perfect
So, when do you use it?Ejemplos:
Has comido el desayuno?
Have you eaten?
No, todavía no he comido.
No, I haven’t eaten yet.
Ha llegado Jaime?
Has James arrived?
Sí, llegó hace una hora.
Yes, he arrived an hour ago.
The Present Perfect is used to describe actions or events that have or have not happened.
These actions and events began in the past and continue up to and into the present:
Estudié mucho. He estudiado mucho.
I studied a lot. I have studied a lot.
Implies that studying Implies that studying has not
has stopped. stopped.

He has never learned to say no.

Él nunca ha aprendido a decir no.

So, now for the irregulars…

brokenseen
openeddiscovered

A minor technicality… When you add –ado or –ido to a verb that
ends in a double vowel, you will need to remember an accent:
Oír- oído
Traer- traído
Leer- leído
Construir- construído
Last but not least…FAQ’sQ: What do you do when you have object pronouns like me, te, le, nos,
les, los, las, se etc?A: That’s easy. Put them all IN FRONT of the verb group. Don’t ever
place anything between the two or at the end.Example: ¿Te has divertido este año? Sí, me he divertido mucho.
Q: Where do you put “no”?A: That’s easy too. Put it in front of the verb group. Don’t ever place
anything between the two parts of the verb.Example: ¿Has visto la nueva película? No, no la he visto todavía.
Q: What’s the difference between “tener”and “haber”?A: Tener is “to have”as in possession of something. Haber is an
auxilary verb that is only used in conjunction with a past participle.Example: Paco tiene un coche rojo pero no ha aprendido a manejarlo.
Paco has a red car but hasn’t learned how to drive it.
