"Compound tenses- Haber + Ir)

Question

Bienvenido al foro abierto en SpanishDict.com. Hoy, mis compañeros de clase, vamos a aprender unos tiempos nuevos…y usarlos en frases.

Estos nuevos tiempos expresan acciones que tuvieron lugar en ningún momento especificado en el pasado.

Ya sabemos que "Haber" es un verbo auxiliar, una como tal nunca puede estar solo.

Welcome to the open forum at SpanishDict.com. Today, my classmates, we are going to learn some new tenses…and use them in sentences.

These new tenses express actions that took place at no specified time in the past.

We already know that 'Haber' is an auxiliary verb, an as such can never stand alone.

Compund or perfect tenses are composed of two parts: the auxiliary (haber-to have) + a past participle.

They are called “perfect” because the action is completed. The function of the auxiliary verb “haber” is to tell “when”.

---

1. Present Perfect Tense = have/has + Past Participle

---

(haber) + (past participle-Ir) = (….have/has gone)

he + Past Participle = (I have……)

has + PP = (you [tú] have …)

ha + PP = (he, she, it – has ….)… (you (Ud.) have….)

hemos + PP = (we have….)

haéis + PP = (you [vos] have ….)

han + PP = (they, you [Uds.] have ….)

**

1. Past Perfect Tense = had + Past Participle

**

(haber) + (past participle - Ir) = (….had gone)

había + Past Participle = (I had….)

habías + PP = (you [tú] )had….)

había + PP = (he, she, it had ….) (you (Ud.) had….)

habíamos + PP = (we had….)

habíais + PP = (you [vos]) had….)

habían + PP = (they, you [Uds.] had….)

---

3 A. Future Perfect Tense = will/shall + Past Participle

---

(Haber) + (past participle - ir) = (…..will/shall have gone)

---

3.B {Future Perfect Tense can also be used to express conjecture }

---

******As conjecture it means = (has probability /must have} + (past participle - ir) =***

****(…..has probably/must have gone)*******

habré + Past Participle =(I will/shall have….) or (I probably/must have….)

habrás + PP = (you [tú] )will/shall have…..) or (you probably/must have…..)

habrá + PP = (he, she, it will/shall have….) or (he,she,it probably has/must have…)

(you (Ud.) will/shall have ….) or (you (Ud..) probably/must have….)

habremos + PP = (we will/shall have….) or (we probably/must have….)

habréis + PP = (you [vos])will/shall have…) or (you probably/must have….)

habrán + PP = (they, you [Uds.] will/shall have…) or (probably/must have….)

---

4 A. Conditional Perfect Tense = (would have) + (past participle)

---

(Haber) + (past participle – ir) = (…..would have gone)

---

4 B. {Conditional Perfect Tense can also be used to express conjecture}

---

As conjecture it means = (had probably) + (past participle - ir) =

(…..had probably gone)

Habría + Past Participle = (I would have….) or ( I had probably….)

Habrías + PP = (you [tú]would have….) or (you[tu] had probably…..)

Habría + PP = (he, she, it would have….) or (he,she,it had probably…..) (you (Ud.) would have …..) or (you (Ud.) had probably…..)

habríamos + PP = (we would have…..) or ( we had probably…..)

habríais + PP = (you [vos])would have…) or (you (tu) had probably….)

habrían + PP = (they, you [Uds.] would have…) or (they,you,(Uds.) had probably….)

                                  ***

5 . Present Perfect Subjunctive-

(que) -hubiera, hubieras, hubiera, hubiéramos, hubierais, hubieran

(-se form)

(que) – hubiese, hubieses, hubiese, hubiésemos, hubieseis, hubiesen

Les daré a Uds. un verbo. Uds. tendrán que seleccionar un “tiempo compuesto” de los que usan “haber”, y usarlo en un frase con el participio pasado del verbo que será escogido hoy.

El verbo de hoy será; “to go - Ir” Úselo en el “Perfecto de Indicativo”.

---

“ to go - Ir” (past Participle – gone)

---

I will give you a verb. You will have to select a “compound tense” from those that use "haber", and use it in a sentence with the past participle of the verb that will be chosen today.

---

Todays verb will be: (Ir – to go ) Use it in a “compound tense with “Haber ”

---

(gone)

---

“Ir – to go ” (gone)

Answer 1

No podía creer que ella se hubiera ido antes de que pudiera verla.

I couldn't believe that she had gone before I could see her.

:) - viejito, Aug 29, 2012

(se hubiera ido)...(yo pudiera) sounds better :) - viejito, Aug 29, 2012

Quisiera agradecerte mucho la corrección :-) Es fácil que tenga muchas otras oportunidades de aprender de vos - Fidalgo, Aug 29, 2012

I couldn´t ·believe· that she had gone before i could see her. - Ox-Y-Gen, Aug 30, 2012

I might also have used…”No podía creer” because the imperfect begins in the past and can extend to the present….just an idea…☺ - viejito, Aug 30, 2012

Answer 2

Hemos ido a la playa.

We went to the beach.

“Hemos ido a la playa” – we have gone to the beach…..”Fuimos a la playa” – We went o the beach. (worth the vote, thanks ) ☺ - viejito, Aug 30, 2012

Gracias, Viejito! :))) - iana01, Aug 31, 2012

Answer 3

• Yo esperaba que ella no se hubiera ido . Pero al averiguarlo me di cuenta de que era la verdad.

• I was hoping that she hadn´t left. But after inquiring i realised that it was true.

• Yo te habría dicho si me hubieras preguntado pero tenía miedo. Pero ahora no se si lo haría si me dieras otra oportunidad.

• I would have told you if you had asked me but i was scared. But now I dont know if i would do it if you gave me another chance.

Te doy las gracias. Espero que tengás un buen día - Fidalgo, Aug 30, 2012

Very nice, Carson. I might not have used “fijarse” because it has so many other meanings. Pero, al comprobarlo/ averiguarlo, se me dio cuenta de que era verdad. Yo te lo habría dicho si me lo hubieras preguntado….. Pero ahora no (sé)… - viejito, Aug 30, 2012

Son nada más que sugerencias. Son nada más que opiniones. Gracias por participar. Worth a vote, ☺ - viejito, Aug 30, 2012

Gracias, para mejorarnos participamos. No valdría la pena si no aprendiera. - Ox-Y-Gen, Aug 31, 2012

Answer 4

Me habría ido a las montañas hoy, pero tuve que trabajar.

I would have gone to the mountains today, but I had to work.

I might have put….”pero, tuviera que…”. Thanks, worth a vote. ☺ - viejito, Aug 30, 2012

Just out of curiousity, why would you have used the imperfect subjunctive there? I have a lot of learning to do there, so I would appreciate the pointers. ;) - Maldito23, Sep 3, 2012

Answer 5

Por la hora que regresas a casa, habremos ido al supermercado.

By the time that you get back to the house, we will have gone to the grocery store.

“Regresar” is fine. But, in this scenario, I might have opted for “volver”. My sentence would have been: “Por el momento en que vuelvas a la casa, habremos ido a la tienda de comestibles.” Nice sentence, worth the vote. ☺ - viejito, Aug 30, 2012

Answer 6

Habría ido al cino si hayas venido conmigo.

I would have gone to the cinema if you could have come with me.

I might have put….” Yo habría ido a las cinco si hubieras venido conmigo” Thanks, worth a vote. ☺ - viejito, Aug 30, 2012

Answer 7

(Yo) habría ido si no está lloviendo.

I would have gone if it wasn't raining.

“…si no estuviera lloviendo.” Nice, worth a vote ☺ - viejito, Aug 30, 2012
