 The Present Perfect in the
English language is a verb
tense that is used to refer
to actions that happen in
the recent past and that
DEFINITION are related to the present.
PRESENT PERFECT Its equivalent in the
Spanish language is the
TENSE Past Perfect:

I have sent the letter.

I have sent the letter.
(Indicates that the action
just happened)
 It should be noted that when
we speak in the Present Perfect
we should not mention the
moment in which the action
occurred, since to do so we
should use the Past Simple, for
example:

I have sold my car.

I have sold my car. (Present
Perfect) I sold my car this
morning.
I sold my car this morning.
(Simple past)
STRUCTURE PRESENT AFFIRMATIVE
PERFECT TENSE Sujeto + have/has + past participle del verbo
EXAMPLE YOU HAVE NOT CLEANED THE HOUSE

NEGATIVE
Subject + have/has + not + past participle
EXAMPLE I HAVE NOT FORGIVEN YOU!

INTERROGATIVE
Have + subject + past participle + …?
EXAMPLE HAVE WE FINISHED OUR HOMEWORK?
 In order to construct the
HOW TO
affirmative form of the Present
BUILD
Perfect, we must use the verb
THE
TO HAVE as an auxiliary in the
AFFIRMAT
Present Simple and
IVE FORM
accompanied by the main verb
OF THE
in its Past Participle (either
PERFECT
regular verbs or irregular verbs)
PRESENT

 To form an interrogation
we must place the
auxiliary at the beginning
HOW TO BUILD of the sentence, then the
THE subject and later the main
INTERROGATIVE verb also in the Past
FORM OF THE Participle:
EXAMPLE
PRESENT PERFECT
Have I bought a new
dress?
Have you studied the
lesson?
 The negative form is
formed by putting the
negation NOT between
HOW TO BUILD the auxiliary and the
THE NEGATIVE main verb, for example:

I have not bought a new dress

FORM OF THE
He has not broken the window
PERFECT
PRESENT También puede utilizarse la forma
contraída de la negación colocando
HAVEN’T o HASN’T según
corresponda.
