The Present Perfect (Pretérito Perfecto)
To talk about things you 'have done', use the verb 'haber' + a past participle. For -ar verbs, the ending is -ado. For -er and -ir verbs, the ending is -ido. Note that unlike some other languages, the two parts are never separated in Spanish.
| Use | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| I have (Yo he) | he + [verb]-ado/ido | He jugado (I have played) |
| You have (Tú has) | has + [verb]-ado/ido | Has comido (You have eaten) |
| We have (Nosotros hemos) | hemos + [verb]-ado/ido | Hemos salido (We have gone out) |
