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 un tiempo indeterminado en el pasado.

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

The Past Participle of to hug – “ hugged – abrazado”

---

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 an undetermined 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- a form of 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 = ( haber - have/has ) + ( Past Participle )

---

Ex. - (Haber) + (Past Participle of Abrazar ) = (….have/has hugged)

he + Past Participle = (I have …. )

has + Past Participle = (you [tú] have …)

ha + Past Participle = (he, she, you ( Ud. ), it has ….)

hemos + Past Participle = (we have….)

haéis + Past Participle = (you [vos] have ….)

han + Past Participle = (they, you [Uds.] have ….)

---

1. Past Perfect Tense = ( haber – had ) + ( Past Participle )

---

Ex. - (Haber – had ) + (Past Participle of Abrazar ) = (….had hugged )

había + Past Participle = ( I have…)

habías + Past Participle = (you [tú] )had….)

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

habíamos + Past Participle = (we had….)

habíais + PP = (you [vos]) had….)

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

---

3 A. Future Perfect Tense = ( haber -will/shall have ) + ( Past Participle )

---

Ex. - (haber) + (Past Participle of Abrazar) = (…..will/shall have – hugged )

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

habrás + Past Participle = (you [tú] )will/shall have…..)

habrá + Past Participle = (he, she, you (Ud. ), it will/shall have….)

habremos + Past Participle = (we will/shall have….)

habréis + Past Participle = (you [vos])will/shall have…)

habrán + Past Participle = (they, you [Uds.] will/shall have…)

---

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

---

Ex. - (haber) + (Past Participle of Abrazar) = ( has probably/must have - hugged )

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

habrás + Past Participle = (you (Tú) probably/must have…..)

habrá + Past Participle = (he,she, you (Ud. ), it… probably has/must have…)

habremos + Past Participle = (we probably/must have….)

habréis + Past Participle = (you ( vos ) probably/must have….)

habrán + Past Participle = (they, you [Uds.] probably/must have….)

---

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

---

Ex. - (Haber) + (Past Participle of Abrazar ) = (…..would have hugged )

habría + Past Participle = (I would have….)

habrías + Past Participle = (you [tú]would have….)

habría + Past Participle = (he, she, you ( Ud. ), it would have….)

habríamos + Past Participle = (we would have…..)

habríais + Past Participle = (you [vos]) would have…)

habrían + Past Participle = (they, you [Uds.] would have…)

---

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

---

Ex. (haber ) + (Past Participle of Abrazar ) = ( had probably hugged )

habría + Past Participle = ( I had probably….)

habrías + Past Participle = (you [tú] had probably…..)

habría + Past Participle = (he, she, you ( Ud. ), it had probably…..)

habríamos + Past Participle = ( we had probably…..)

habríais + Past Participle = (you ( vos ) had probably….)

habrían + Past Participle = ( they, you (Uds.) had probably….)

---

Ex. – ( haber ) + ( Past Participle of Abrazar ) = (….that (…) may have hugged )

…que haya + Past Participle = ( …that I may have…)

…que hayas + Past Participle = (…that you ( tú ) may have…)

…que haya + Past Participle = (…that he, she, you ( Ud.), it may have…)

…que hayamos + Past Participle = (…that we may have…)

…que hayáis + Past Participle = (…that you ( vos ) may have…)

…que hayan + Past Participle = (…that they, you (vos ) may have…)

1. Plueperfect Imperfect Subjunctive =(haber- that (…) might have)+(Past Participle)

**

Ex.-( haber ) + ( Past Participle of Abrazar ) = (…that (…) might have hugged )

The (-ra ) form – or – the (-se ) form

…que (hubieras/hubieses) + Past Participle = (…that you ( tú ) might have…)

…que (hubiera/hubiese) +Past Participle =(…that he, she, you ( Ud.), it might have…)

…que ( hubiéramos/hubiésemos )+ Past Participle = (…that we might have…)

…que ( hubierais/hubieseis )+ Past Participle = (…that you ( vos ) might have…)

…que (hubieran/ hubiesen)+Past Participle = (…that they, you (vos ) might have…)

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; “ hugged – Participio Pasado de Abrazar ”

---

Úselo en el “Perfecto de Indicativo”.

(Cualquier conjugación de Haber) +(Participio Pasado de Abrazar – “ hugged ” )

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: ( Past Participle of Abrazar - hugged )

---

Any (conjugation of Haber) + ( Past Participle of Abrazar - hugged )

---

Use “ Abrazar - abrazado ” in a “compound tense with “Haber ”

Esta es una foto interesante. Muestra un oso blanco que está abrazando un zorro blanco. Muchas gracias por compartirla en el foro - Fidalgo, Oct 4, 2012

No es mía jaja...pero sí es interesante! - PumpkinCalabaza, Oct 4, 2012

No es un zorro, amigo, es un lobo! - annierats, Oct 4, 2012

Answer 2

¡Ven aquí! No pienso que nos hayamos abrazado desde que mucho tiempo.

Come here! I don't think we've hugged for a long time.

Or – “…por un largo tiempo” just another thought/idea. Thanks. Worth a vote ☺ - viejito, Oct 4, 2012

Pienso que a muchas personas les gusta esta foto. Muchas gracias por compartirla en este foro - Fidalgo, Oct 4, 2012

Gracias por el comentario, Fidalguinho. Agradezco la ayuda, Viejito. :) - GraceM, Oct 5, 2012

Answer 3

Habría abrazado el presidente si podría acercarle.

I would have hugged the president if I could have gotten close to him.

Past tense - ".....si yo pudiera..." Worth the vote, Thanks :) - viejito, Oct 5, 2012

Those tricky tenses .... thans - LaBurra, Oct 5, 2012

Oops, that should be "thanks." - LaBurra, Oct 5, 2012

Answer 4

Habrían abrazado cincuenta niños antes de salir la escuela.

They must have hugged 50 kids before leaving the school.

Question: I feel like I'm missing something here. After reading the question it seems reasonable to ask who "they" are. If I put an ellos in front of either "Habrían" or "niños" for clarification, it still doesn't answer before "who" left the school. Was it before the huggers left the school? Or was it before the children left the school? I had in my mind that the "huggers" left the school.

How about this? Antes los maestros salieron la escuela, habrían abrazado cincuenta niños.

Before the teachers left the school, they must have hugged 50 kids.

Como siempre...gracias por corregir mis errores.

I might have worded it, “Antes de salir de la escuela, los maestros habrían abrazado cincuenta niños.”-”Before leaving the school, the teachers (would have/must have) (embraced/hugged) fifty children.”…Just an idea. Thanks. Worth a vote ☺ - viejito, Oct 4, 2012

Yes, I see. As always, I thank you for your excellent advice! - island_fever, Oct 4, 2012

Those tricky tenses .... thanks. - LaBurra, Oct 5, 2012

Answer 5

Ella le habría abrazado, pero él no estuviera estaba allí.

She would have hugged him but he wasn't there.

She would have done this if…..(something “were”… that isn’t)…calls for an imperfect subjunctive. I might have said, “….pero él no estuviera allí.” Nice. Worth a vote, Thanks. ☺ - viejito, Oct 5, 2012

Gracias, Viejito! I'll try and remember "would have...." is a clue that the subjunctive follows. - bandit51jd, Oct 5, 2012

Answer 6

¡ Ojala! si hubiera abrazado a mi padre antes que se murió .

Oh, if only I had hugged my father before he died..

I might have worded it, “Si sólo yo hubiera abrazado a mi padre antes de que él muriera.” – just an idea. Thanks. Worth a vote. ☺ - viejito, Oct 5, 2012

Answer 7

I have hugged you and realized that I have been in love with you.

Te he abrazado y me he dado cuenta de que he estado enamorado de vos/ti.
