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 open” – “ opened – abierto ”

---

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 Abrir ) = (….have/has opened)

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 Abrir ) = (….had opened )

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 Abrir) = (…..will/shall have – opened )

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 Abrir) = ( has probably/must have - opened )

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 Abrir ) = (…..would have opened )

habría + Past Participle = (I 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}
