Common misconception
The Spanish translation of 'I have' + past participle, e.g. 'I have listened', is 'tengo' + past participle, e.g. 'tengo escuchado'.
The Spanish translation of 'I have listened' is 'he escuchado'. In Spanish, the auxiliary verb used in the formation of the perfect tense is 'haber', not 'tener'.
