How to translate Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto to English
Note that the phrases in English 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 inflected 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: deleg-
- 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 simply take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Presente de Subjuntivo, which is haya. To that we add the Participio delegado to get haya delegado:
- yo haya delegado – I have delegated
- tú hayas delegado – you have delegated
- él haya delegado – he have delegated
- ella haya delegado – she have delegated
- usted haya delegado – (formal) you have delegated
- nosotros hayamos delegado – we have delegated
- nosotras hayamos delegado – (feminine) we have delegated
- vosotros hayáis delegado – (plural) you have delegated
- vosotras hayáis delegado – (feminine, plural) you have delegated
- ellos hayan delegado – they have delegated
- ellas hayan delegado – (feminine) they have delegated
- ustedes hayan delegado – (formal, plural) you have delegated
Hurray! The conjugation is now done. The final result looks as follows:
yo | haya delegado | I have delegated |
tú | hayas delegado | you have delegated |
él/ella/usted | haya delegado | he/she/it have delegated |
nosotros/nosotras | hayamos delegado | we have delegated |
vosotros/vosotras | hayáis delegado | you have delegated |
ellos/ellas/ustedes | hayan delegado | they have delegated |
