1. Investigate everything about verbal tenses: Present and Past Perfect.

Present perfect is a verb tense that we use to talk about something that happened
in the past but has relevance in the present, either because it happened very recently or
because it is an action that has not yet been completed.
It is formed with the verb have/has and the past participle of the main verb of the
sentence, like this: subject+Auxiliary verb+Main ver+complement.
Spanish:
presente perfecto es un tiempo verbal que usamos para hablar de algo que sucedió en
el pasado pero tiene relevancia en el presente, ya sea porque ocurrió hace muy poco
tiempo o porque es una acción que aun no ha finalizado.
Se forma con el verbo have/has y el pasado participio del verbo principal de la oración,
así: subject+Auxiliary verb+Main ver+complement.
English:
Negative form:
To form a negative sentence in the present perfect simple you must add the
conjunction not between the verb have and the past participle of the main verb of the
sentence. Subject+Auxiliary verb+ past participle+complement.
Example: Ihaven't published the document.
Spanish:
Forma negativa:
Para formar una oración negativa en presente perfecto simple debes agregar la
conjunción not entre el verbo have y el pasado participio del verbo principal de la
oración. Subject+Auxiliary verb+ past participle+complement.
Example: Ihaven't published the document.
English:
Past perfect:
The past tense also has its own past tense and we know it grammatically as past
perfect simple. This tense is used to indicate the past moment in which something
happened before another event also occurred in the past tense. Since the simple past
perfect indicates that the situation or event has already ended, it always emphasizes
the result.
Spanish:
Pasado perfecto:
El tiempo pasado también tiene su propio pasado y lo conocemos gramaticalmente
como past perfect simple. Este tiempo verbal se emplea para indicar el momento
pasado en que algo ocurrió con anterioridad a otro hecho también ocurrido en tiempo
 pasado. Puesto que el pasado perfecto simple indica que la situación o hecho ya ha
finalizado, siempre hace énfasis en el resultado.
English:
When do you use the past perfect in English?
The Past Perfect is used to talk about an action (or event) in the past that happened
before something else in the past. It is equivalent to a tense in Spanish: the pluperfect
preterite. If you haven't studied grammar for a long time, the pluperfect past tense
talks about what you "had done", and the past perfect in English is similar. Notice that
we usually have a verb in the past simple (or another expression of the past) to indicate
the most recent moment. Therefore, the past perfect is understood as what happened
before this moment. Example:
- By the time I arrived at the station, the bus had left.
- I'd just fall asleep when the phone rang.

The Past Perfect allows us to change the order of words in the sentence without getting
confused about which came first. When we have a series of verbs in the simple past, we
assume that they happened in the order of saying them:
- I fell asleep, and then the phone rang.
- The bus left 5 minutes before I arrived at the station.
Spanish:
¿Cuándo se usa el pasado perfecto en inglés?
El pasado perfecto se usa para hablar de una acción (o evento) en el pasado que pasó
antes de otra cosa en el pasado. Es equivalente a un tiempo en español: el pretérito
pluscuamperfecto. Si hace tiempo que no estudias la gramática, el pretérito
pluscuamperfecto habla de lo que “habías hecho”, y el pasado perfecto en inglés es
parecido. Fíjate que normalmente tenemos un verbo en pasado simple (u otra
expresión del pasado) para indicar el momento más reciente. Luego, el pasado perfecto
se entiende que pasó antes de este momento. Ejemplo:
- By the time I arrived at the station, the bus had left.
- I’d just fallen asleep when the phone rang.

El pasado perfecto nos permite cambiar el orden de palabras en la frase sin

confundirnos sobre qué pasó primero. Cuando tenemos una serie de verbos en pasado
simple, suponemos que pasaron en el orden de decirlos:
- I fell asleep, and then the phone rang.
- The bus left 5 minutes before I arrived at the station.
