A description of the four simple perfect tenses in English, how they compare to Spanish, and what both "have" and "past participle" mean in both languages.
9. Perfect tenses are all structured the
same way:
Have + Past Participle
And they work just the same in
English as they do in Spanish.
10. We're not talking about the
"have" that means
"tener".
Nope.
Perfect tenses use the
"have" that means
"haber"
11.
12. The "have / haber" of the
perfect tenses is an auxiliary,
which means it's there to help
express a verb.
Any verb that accompanies "have /
haber" is always, always, always,
always, always, without
exception always freaking
always in
