Spanish 103 - How to Form Haber in the Present Perfect in Spanish for Beginners Spanish With Profe

In this video you will learn the Present Perfect. In Spanish to form the present perfect you will need the helping verb Haber, this is one of the few times where you will see Haber conjugated for each subject pronoun(yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros/as, ellos, ellas, ustedes).

In English you form the present perfect by using "to have" as a helping verb. I have eaten. You have traveled. He has gone. We have danced too much. They have loved each other for so long. In Spanish we use the verb "Haber" to form the Perfect tenses and not "Tener" which would be the English equivalent. Do not put anything in between Haber and the past participle. To construct a negative statement; be sure to put "No" first, then the pronoun (reflexive, direct, indirect) and lastly comes the helping verb Haber. Yo no he escrito la carta todavía. (I have not written the letter yet.)

The following are the Haber conjugations to be used with the Present Perfect
yo he*
tú has
él, ella, usted ha
nosotros/as hemos*
ellos, ellas, ustedes han
*Notice that the first person singular Yo (HE) and the first person plural Nosotros (HEMOS) have an "e" instead of an "a" like the other verbs.

There are no stem changing verbs in the past participle only regular and irregular verbs.

the past participle of regular verbs is formed as followed
-ar= ado
-er/-ir= ido
Since they are verbs, they don't have gender or number. So make sure you have "o" every time you use the past participle with Haber to form the present perfect

In the present perfect the verb "haber" is the only thing that changes but the past participle stays the same, meaning "o" and nothing else. Remember verbs do not have a gender but adjectives do.
Yo he comido una hamburguesa.
Tú has comido una ensalada.
Ella ha comido un pastel.
Nosotros hemos comido pasta.
Ellos han comido pollo.

Below you will find a list of irregular verbs and their corresponding past participle.
Remember they are verbs so they will remain the same all through out, meaning the "o" is always going to be "o" regardless of the pronoun (yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros/as, ellos, ellas ustedes) that is used.

The examples listed below of irregular verbs have one sample pronoun sentence to illustrate that the verb's conjugation in the past participle never changes.
abrir=abierto (yo he abierto)
decir=dicho (tú has dicho)
descubrir=descubierto (él ha descubierto)
describir=descrito (ella ha descrito)
escribir=escrito (usted ha escrito)
hacer=hecho (nosotros hemos hecho)
morir=muerto (nosotras hemos muerto)
poner=puesto (ellos han puesto)
resolver=resuelto (ellas han resuelto)
romper=roto (ustedes han roto)
ver=visto
volver=vuelto

The following verbs carry a written accent on the í when dropping the -er/-ir add a tilde over
the í for :
caer=caído
creer=creído
leer=leído
oír=oído
reír=reído
sonreír=sonreído
traer=traído

Yo he comido cinco hamburguesas en un día.
