present perfect

Time Present Perfect is used to speak of actions begun in the past and still continue today. For example:

I Have been here since Monday.
he estado aqui desde el lunes

To shape it, use the auxiliary HAVE, conjugated to the appropriate person (only changes for the third person singular), followed by the past participle, which is equal for everyone.

Look below BE verb conjugation.



For regular verbs, the past participle is formed by taking the verb itself and adding "ed" or "d" if it ends in a vowel. If it ends in "y" is changed to "ied".

We have played tennis for two hours.
hemos jugado tenis por dos horas

She has arrived late again.
ha llegado tarde de nuevo

You have Studied a lot.
has estudiado mucho
