What are Strike Tiempos Verbales?

Strike tiempos verbales, also known as “compound tenses” in English, refer to verb forms that are constructed with an auxiliary verb (either “haber” or “ser”) and a past participle. These tenses are used to express actions that have been completed in the past, either recently or at a specific point in time.

Specific Strike Tenses

There are three main strike tiempos verbales in Spanish: the present perfect, the past perfect, and the future perfect.

1. Present Perfect (Pretérito Perfecto)

The present perfect tense is used to describe actions that have happened in the recent past or have an impact on the present. To form this tense, you need to conjugate the auxiliary verb “haber” in the present tense and add the past participle of the main verb. For example:
– Yo he comido (I have eaten)
– Tú has vivido (You have lived)
– Él/Ella ha trabajado (He/She has worked)

2. Past Perfect (Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto)

The past perfect tense is used to express actions that occurred before another action in the past. It emphasizes the chronological order of events. To form this tense, conjugate the auxiliary verb “haber” in the imperfect tense and add the past participle of the main verb. For example:
– Yo había comido (I had eaten)
– Tú habías vivido (You had lived)
– Él/Ella había trabajado (He/She had worked)

3. Future Perfect (Futuro Perfecto)

The future perfect tense expresses actions that will have been completed by a certain point in the future. It is used to talk about an action that will be finished before another future event. To form this tense, conjugate the auxiliary verb “haber” in the future tense and add the past participle of the main verb. For example:
– Yo habré comido (I will have eaten)
– Tú habrás vivido (You will have lived)
– Él/Ella habrá trabajado (He/She will have worked)

Usage Tips

– The past participle of regular verbs is formed by adding “-ado” for -ar ending verbs and “-ido” for -er/-ir ending verbs.

– The auxiliary verb “haber” always agrees with the subject in terms of gender and number.
– Keep in mind that strike tiempos verbales are often used interchangeably with other past tenses in spoken Spanish, depending on the region or preference of the speaker.
