 PRESENT PERFECT

REVIEW:

Describe an indefinite action in the past, when we don´t know the exactly moment when the action
happened.

We use the auxiliary : “Have or has” in spanish “ haber”

I have = Yo he
You have= Usted ha
She has = Ella ha
He has = El ha
It has = Eso ha
Thay have = Ellos han
We have = Nosotros hemos

Remember after the auxiliary we have to put the main verb in past participle and a complement.

Grammar structure : Subject + auxiliary + Verb in past participle + Complement

I have gone to New York
She has played guitar before.

Remember :

The past participle for regular verbs is only with “ed” but for irregular verbs change.

PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS (ing)

We use the present perfect continuous to describe an action that starts in the past and
continuous in the present.

We normally use these expression with the present perfect continuous “ for” and “since”

for = por ( periodos de tiempo : minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decade , centuries)
since = desde (tiempo)

We use the auxiliary : “Have or has” in Spanish “ haber” and the verb “to be” in past participle
“ been” plus the main verb with (ing)

Grammar structure: Subject + auxiliary + been + main verb with (ing) + complement
 I have been giving virtual classes since march
yo he estado dando clases virtuales desde marzo.

She has been teaching for ten years.

Ella ha estado enseñando por 10 años

All these actions started in the past and continue in the present.
