PRESENT PERFECT: All

Rules:

This is a compound tense, so two verbs are required: the main verb and the past participle of whatever verb you're using. The past participle does not have to agree in gender or number with the subject. The formula is:

HABER + PAST PARTICIPLE OF VERB

Main verb: HABER Past Participle

 

he hemos
has habéis
ha han

 

AR -ADO
ER -IDO
IR -IDO

Some examples:

  1. I have finished the work. = Yo he terminado el trabajo.
  2. She has read the book. = Ella ha leído el libro.
  3. We have ridden the horse. = Nosotros hemos montado el caballo.

Irregular past participles:

Some past participles are irregular in all the perfect tenses.

  1. For -er and -ir verbs, if the stem ends in a vowel, a written accent will be required.
  2. Some verbs are irregular in the past participle form, so these verbs are considered irregular in the perfect tense. Here are the most common irregular past participles:
