18
Q

Pretérito perfecto compuesto

Upspecified Time “Before Now”

The present perfect may be used to indicate an action or state as having occurred —and having been completed— prior to the present time

A

yo digo que ell lo ha hecho ~ I said that she had done it

Ya hemos visto la película ~ We have already seen the film

19
Q

Pretérito perfecto compuesto - still in progress

The present perfect is NOT used to indicate an action still in progress. To express an ongoing action which began in the past, the present tense is used:

A

Hace cuatro años que vivo aquí ~ I have lived (have been living) here for four years

20
Q

Pretérito perfecto compuesto - Just done

The present perfect is NOT used to express the idea “to have just(done something)”. Spanish typically employ the present of acabare de plus the infinitive.

A

Acabo de oír la noticia. ~ I just heard the news [item].

Acabamos de poner el televisor ~ We have just turned on the TV

21
Q

pluscauamperfecto

A past-time situation is normally indicated by the preterit and imperfect, for example by dijo .

The past perfect tense (e.g., había viajado) views an action or state as having occurred —and been completed— at a time prior to another past action, state or time (e.g., dijo).

A

Juan dijo que había viajado a México ~John said that he had traveled to Mexico.

21
Q

pluscauamperfecto - forms

  • *había hablado** I had spoken
  • *habías hablado** you had spoken
  • *había hablado** he/she had spoken
  • *habíamos hablado** we had spoken
  • *habíais hablado** you had spoken
  • *habían hablado** they had spoken
A
22
Q

pluscauamperfecto - still in progress

The past perfect is NOT used to indicate an action which began in previous past time and is still in progress in (simple) past time; **the imperfect tense is used for this purpose: **

A

Hacía cuatro años que vivíamos aquí. ~ We had lived (had been living) here for four years.

Trabajaban en el proyecto desde hacía seis horas ~ They had been working on the project for six hours.

Cuánto tiempo llevabas mirando la tele? ~ How long had you been watching TV?

23
Q

pluscaumperfecto - just done

To express the idea “to had just (done something)”, Spanish usually employs the imperfect of acabar de plus the infinitive, for example:

A

Acababa de oír la noticia ~ I had just heard the news [item]

Acabábamos de poner el televisor. We had just turned on the TV [set].

24
Q

futuro perfecto

This tense views an action or state as having occurred —and been completed— at some time in the future. It is used in almost exactly the same way as we use it in English, for example:

A

Juan habrá salido para las ocho. Juan will have left by eight o’clock.

Todos habrán terminado la composición para mañana. Everyone will have finished their compositions by tomorrow.

25
Q

futuro perfecto

  • *habré hablado** I will have spoken
  • *habrás hablado** you will have spoken
  • *habrá hablado** he/she will have spoken
  • *habremos hablado** we will have spoken
  • *habréis hablado** you will have spoken
  • *habrán hablado** they will have spoken
A
26
Q

futuro perfecto - present

The future tense can be used to indicate conjecture in present time (that is, to replace the present tense and an equivalent of “probably”):

Similarly, the future perfect tense can be used to indicate conjecture or probability in past time; specifically, it may be used to replace the preterit or present perfect tense and an equivalent of “probably”:

A

Ahora serán las tres. Right now it is probably 3:00.

¿Ese ruido? Habrá sido el gato.* That noise? It must have been the cat.*

Marta ya habrá salido.* Martha (has) probably already left.*
