Are you talking about the conjugation of "haber?"

  • he hablado (I have spoken)
  • has hablado (you)
  • ha hablado (he / she)
  • hemos hablado (we)
  • han hablado (they)

¿Hay un lugar en SpanishDict para aprender este?

Let me attempt to use it:

I have swum = He nadado

¿Soy correcto?

Here is a sentence with it:

I have been with my friends = He estado con mis amigos

¿Es eso bueno?

English and Spanish are similar that they both use a form of have as an auxiliary to form the perfect tenses. The difference is that in Spanish there are separate verbs for have (tener and haber). Only haber is used as an auxiliary (to form the perfect tenses).

In Spanish, haber is the auxiliary used to form the perfect tense. The formula for the perfect tense is: A conjugated form of haber + past participle

Present Perfect


He comido - I have eaten

Ha comido - He has eaten

Hemos comido - We have eaten


Past Perfect


(Ella) Había comido - She had eaten.

(Yo) Había comido - I had eaten.

Habíamos comido - We have eaten.

Claro que si.

From this page you can link to whichever perfect tense you wish: Present Perfect

They are forms of verb haber: he - 1st person singular, ha - 3rd person singular, Present tense. Haber is mostly an auxiliary verb and used e.g. in present perfect.
