Hour 7 Lesson 9 Flashcards
How to form the past tense (I have bought something).The past participle depends on which track you are on. On the
-ar track, you dive into -ado (hablar – hablado). On the -er track, you dive into -ido (salir – salido). For example: comer – comido, vender – vendido, comprar – comprado, tomar – tomado.

In Spanish, there are two verbs for ‘to have’. The verb ‘to have’ is the diving board you need to dive into the past, which in this case is ‘haber’ and not ‘tener’.
explanation
To obtain the different forms of ‘haber’, take the future tense ending, drop the r and add a silent ‘h’. In the future you have: -ré, -remos, -rá, -rán, -rás. For ‘haver’ you will have: he, hemos, ha, han, has.
