Who, why, and on
what totally
forgettable date in
history did some jerk
decide to use the
term
"perfect"
to describe a few
verb tenses?
ppppppppp
Forget about that. It
doesn't matter.
Nobody knows anyway.
All you need to know
about "perfect" tenses is
the following:
The term “perfect”
refers to
Present perfect
sometime before now
“Hey, have you
ever seen
Lord of the
Rings??”
“Hell yes
I have seen that!”
Past perfect
sometime before a moment in the past
Future perfect
—
sometime before a moment in the future
“..hehe…
yeah.”
Conditional perfect
sometime before now, on
the condition of a
hypothetical past event.
Perfect tenses are all structured the
same way:
Have + Past Participle
And they work just the same in
English as they do in Spanish.
We're not talking about the
"have" that means
"tener".
Nope.
Perfect tenses use the
"have" that means
"haber"
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
