Present Perfect Tenses To form the present perfect, use the present tense of haber plus the masculine singular form of the past participle:  he hablado     I have spokenhas habladoyou have spokenha habladohe/she has spokenhemoshablado   we have spokenhabéishabladoyou have spokenhanhabladothey have spoken Yo digo que ella lo ha hecho.    I saythatshehas doneit.
