Present Perfect 43

Slide 1: El Presente Perfecto de Indicativo y Subjuntivo Español 1131 Capítulo 14 –Sección 43 (pp. 448-452)

Slide 2: ¿Qué es el presente perfecto de indicativo? The present perfect is formed by combining a helping verb (“have” or “has”) with the past participle

Slide 3: Veamos, por ejemplo…  I have played the piano for years.  Martha has sung at weddings.  We have flown in a plane.

Slide 4: En inglés…  To form the present participle,we combine the helping verb “have/has” with a past participle (-ed/-en):  For example, “I have been a lifeguard.”  “I” is the subject  “have” is the helping verb  “been” is the past participle

Slide 5: En español…  We form the present participle by combining the present tense of the verb haber (i.e., the helping verb or el verbo auxiliar) with a past participle  For example:  Nosotros hemos bailado y…. We have danced and….  no hemos estudiado para el examen. We haven’t studied for the test.

Slide 6: The present tense of haber he hemos has habéis ha han

Slide 7: Remember… How to form the past participle:  For –ar verbs, take the stem of the verb and add –ado Example: comprar → comprado  For –er and –ir verbs, take the stem of the verb and add –ido Example: tener → tenido vivir → vivido

Slide 8: Para formar… Here are the present perfect forms of estudiar: he estudiado hemos estudiado has estudiado habéis estudiado ha estudiado han estudiado

Slide 9: Para formar… As you can see, I have combined the present forms of haber (the helping verbs) he hemos has habéis ha han

Slide 10: …with the past participle of estudiar he estudiado hemos estudiado has estudiado habéis estudiado ha estudiado han estudiado

Slide 12: Is this what you came up with? he hablado hemos hablado has hablado habéis hablado ha hablado han hablado

Slide 13: Let’s try another… Now see if you can form the present perfect forms of the verb tomar: __ ________ ____ _______ ___ ________ _____ ________ __ ________ ___ ________

Slide 15: Now let’s try an –er verb See if you can come up with the present perfect forms for comer: __ ______ _____ ______ ___ ______ ______ ______ __ ______ ___ ______

Slide 16: Is this what you came up with? he comido hemos comido has comido habéis comido ha comido han comido

Slide 18: Is this what you came up with? he ido hemos ido has ido habéis ido ha ido han ido

Slide 19: Many of you may have assumed that ir had an irregular past participle. After all, it does have an irregular present participle. But ir is actually regular in this tense. Here are some verbs that are irregular in the past participle.

Slide 20: Not exactly irregular but… -er and –ir verbs whose stems end in a vowel have past participles ending in –ído caer → caído creer → creído leer → leído oír → oído reír → reído traer → traído

Slide 21: Irregulars The following verbs have irregular past participles ending in –to: abrir → abierto cubrir → cubierto escribir → escrito volver → vuelto morir → muerto poner → puesto romper → roto ver → visto descubrir → descubierto

Slide 22: More irregulars These verbs have irregular past participles ending in –cho: decir → dicho hacer → hecho

Slide 23: ¡Vamos a practicar! See if you can form the correct present perfect using the subject and verb given. Modelo: yo / decidir → He decidido 1. ella / abrir Ha abierto 2. Marta y yo / tocar Hemos tocado 3. Gonzalo / crecer Ha crecido

Slide 24: 4. Tú y tus amigos / reír Habéis reído 5. Mis padres / hacer Han hecho 6. Tus abuelos / cubrir Han cubierto 7. Rogelio y Ramón / escribir Han escrito

Slide 25:  Object pronouns and no are always placed directly before the form of haber, e.g.: Ella ha cambiado una llanta desinflada varias veces. She’s changed a flat tire several times. Todavía no le han revisado el aceite al coche. They still haven’t checked the car’s oil.  The present perfect form of hay is always ha habido ( there has/have been) , e.g.: Ha habido un accidente. (There’s been an accident.)  Remember that acabar + de + infinitive (not the present perfect tense) is used to state that something has just occurred, e.g.: Acabo de mandar la carta. I’ve just mailed the letter.

Slide 26: ¿Qué es el presente perfecto de subjuntivo?  The present perfect subjunctive (el perfecto subjuntivo) is formed with the present subjunctive of haber plus the past participle. It is used to express I have spoken (written, and so on) when the subjunctive is required. haya hablado hayamos hablado hayas hablado hayáis hablado haya hablado hayan hablado

Slide 27:  Note in the model sentence at the right that the English equivalent of the present perfect subjunctive can be expressed as a simple or compound tense: did/have done; came/have come; built/have built. Es posible que (él) lo haya hecho. It’s possible (that) he may have done he did it. Me alegro de que (tú) hayas venido. I’m glad (that) you have come (you came). Es bueno que lo hayan construido. It’s good (that) they built (have built) it.

Slide 28: The perfect subjunctive differs from the present subjunctive in that it conveys the meaning of an action which would, or might have taken place, i.e. a finished action Compare a) with b): a) Espero que lleguen a tiempo para coger el avión (I hope they arrive on time to catch the plane) b) Espero que hayan llegado a tiempo para coger el avión (I hope they arrived on time so that they could catch the place)
