How to translate Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto to English
Notice that the English phrases provided below next to each conjugation are not direct translations from Spanish to English. They are usually the closest general equivalents. The example differences are:- In Spanish conjugation, there is the form usted in the third person singular. But this person does not translate to the English third person singular. It translates to the so called formal you and uses the inflected form which is most often represented as he/she/it in English conjugation charts.
- Similar situation happens in the third person plural, where ustedes translates to the English plural formal you but uses the form which corresponds to the they form in English.
- Tenses are used differently in Spanish and English, so the actual translation should always take into account the context and focus on translating the meaning, not just words.
- In both languages each verb may have multiple meanings and not every meaning translates directly to the other language. Here also, the context and focusing on the particular meaning helps to create the most accurate translation.
Step by step instructions
Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto is a compound tense (Spanish: compuesto). It means that all of its inflected forms consist of two words. In Spanish language, there are also simple tenses, where each conjugated verb form is one word long.In a compound tense the endings of the auxiliary verb change, not the endings of the main verb, which is the case in Spanish simple tenses.In the compound tenses, every person’s form consist of two parts:
- An inflected form of the auxiliary verb haber. In case of the Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto de Subjuntivo tense, we use the Presente de Subjuntivo (Present Subjunctive) conjugation of haber
- Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
- the stem is: cans-
- and the ending is: -ar
Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, we can proceed with creating the final conjugation forms. In order to create the first person singular form, we need to take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Presente de Subjuntivo, which is haya. To that we add the Participio cansado to get haya cansado:
- yo haya cansado – I have fatigued
- tú hayas cansado – you have fatigued
- él haya cansado – he have fatigued
- ella haya cansado – she have fatigued
- usted haya cansado – (formal) you have fatigued
- nosotros hayamos cansado – we have fatigued
- nosotras hayamos cansado – (feminine) we have fatigued
- vosotros hayáis cansado – (plural) you have fatigued
- vosotras hayáis cansado – (feminine, plural) you have fatigued
- ellos hayan cansado – they have fatigued
- ellas hayan cansado – (feminine) they have fatigued
- ustedes hayan cansado – (formal, plural) you have fatigued
That’s it! The conjugation is now complete. That’s the final result:
yo | haya cansado | I have fatigued |
tú | hayas cansado | you have fatigued |
él/ella/usted | haya cansado | he/she/it have fatigued |
nosotros/nosotras | hayamos cansado | we have fatigued |
vosotros/vosotras | hayáis cansado | you have fatigued |
ellos/ellas/ustedes | hayan cansado | they have fatigued |
