Key learning points
- The perfect tense is used to express what has happened.
- To form conjugations of the perfect tense in Spanish, use the verb 'haber' + past participle.
- To form the past participle of regular -ar verbs, remove the -ar and add -ado, and for -er/-ir verbs add -ido.
- Common irregular past participles include 'dicho', 'muerto', 'roto', 'vuelto', 'cubierto' and 'descubierto'.
Keywords
Perfect tense - tense used to express what has happened, e.g. 'I have listened', 'I have bought'
Past participle - form of a verb used to form the perfect tense, e.g. 'listened', 'bought'
