Spanish pronouns? "ha" and "he"?

Question

I was corrected on a sentence that I posted for "word of the day". The corrections included adding the Spanish words "ha" and "he". I tried to find them in SD's dictionary, and could not. The translator says they are a form of the English words "it".

Here are the sentences: "Ha sido un hermoso día hoy. Realmente lo he disfrutado."

I cannot find these pronouns in SD's reference section for pro-nouns either.

Are they indirect pronouns? I hope someone can help me understand when I'm suppose to use these two words.. and are they a form of another word? Is that why I couldn't pull them up in the dictionary?

Answer 1

This is the present perfect.

Present indicative Haber + past participle. Check out the conjugation of Haber.

Answer 2

SpanishPal is absolutely right. In the present perfect, "he, has, ha, hemos, han" come from the verb "haber".

Ha sido un hermoso día hoy. Realmente lo he disfrutado.

It has been a beautiful day today. I really have enjoyed it.

Here is the break down.

Ha - he/she/it/you formal "has"

Sido - past participle of "ser" - to be

"ha sido" - it has been

Un hermoso día hoy - a beatiful day today

Realmente - really

Lo - it (being the "day")

He - I have

Disfrutado - past participle of "disfrutar" - to enjoy

"he disfrutado" - I have enjoyed
