Q

What is the uses of the present perfect tense?

(I have been here for three years.

A

The Spanish present perfect tense consists of a conjugation of the verb haber (to have) plus the past participle. It talks about actions that happened in the past but are still happening or affecting the present.

Haber (in present simple) + past participle

He estado aquí por tres años.

It’s actually similar to English, where you also use “has” or “have” in the present perfect tense.

Q

What are the uses of this tense?

A
  1. Recent Actions With Present Consequences
    * When a past action is actively affecting the present, it requires the present perfect. This is the rule that our first “I have lost my wallet” example follows.
    * Hemos comprado una casa. (We have bought a house.)
  2. Action Which Started in the Past and Continues Today
    Decisions you’ve made in the past have heavy effects on your current life, such as jobs you took, promotions you’ve got, moves to a new place, starting a new language learning journey and more.
    He sido profesor de idiomas desde 2002. (I have been a language teacher since 2002.)
  3. Talking About Previous Life Experiences
    We talk about past experiences all the time in English, and in Spanish, we do so with the present perfect.
  • You can use the present perfect when something has happened a certain number of times in your life or when you’re expressing whether or not you have ever done something.
  • He oído que se ha casado cinco veces ya. (I have heard he has been married five times already.)
