Pedir – to ask for, to request... an item – or- an action



El Participio Pasivo de Pedir – “ pedido – asked, requested ”


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 ask for, to request – “ pedido – asked, requested”


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 Pedir ) = (….have/has asked for/requested)

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 Pedir ) = (….had asked for/requested )

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 Pedir) = (…..will/shall have – asked for/requested )

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 Pedir) = ( has probably/must have – asked for/requested )

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 Pedir ) = (…..would have asked for/requested)

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 Pedir ) = ( had probably asked for/requested )

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….)


The Subjunctive Moods.



5 . Present Perfect Subjunctive = ( haber – that (… ) may have ) + ( Past Participle )


Ex. – ( haber ) + ( Past Participle of Pedir) = (….that (…) may have asked for/requested )

…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 Pedir) = (…that (…) might have asked for/requested)

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

…que ( hubiera/hubiese ) + Past Participle = ( …that I might have…)

…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; “ asked for/requested – Participio Pasado de Pedir”


Úselo en el “Perfecto de Indicativo”.


(Cualquier conjugación de Haber) +(Participio Pasado de Pedir – “asked for/requested” )


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 Pedir – asked for/requested)



Any (conjugation of Haber) + ( Past Participle of Pedir – asked for/requested)



Use “ Pedir - pedido ” in a “compound tense with “Haber ”

Thanks. I might say,”Él había pedido que usted no siguiera llamándole. Pero, a pesar de eso, usted todavía puede llamarle de todas maneras.” He had requested that you not continue calling him. But, despite that, you still can call him anyway. Worth a vote - viejito, Oct 28, 2012
That's not really what I was trying to say, but thanks for the suggestion. - GraceM, Oct 28, 2012
I meant she keeps calling him even though he asked her not to call. - GraceM, Oct 29, 2012
Te había pedido que no siguieras llamandole. Pero, a pesar de eso, todavía puedes llamarle cuando quieras. - viejito, Oct 29, 2012

Si mañana aún no habrá pedido la mano de Juanita, creo que no va a hacerlo nunca.

If, by tomorrow, he hasn't asked for Juanita's hand, I don't think he ever will .
