How to translate Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto to English
Notice 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 conjugated forms consist of two words. In Spanish language, there are also simple tenses, where each conjugated verb form is one word long.A compound tense is indicated by the ending of the auxiliary verb, not by the ending of the main verb, which is the case in Spanish simple tenses.In the compound tenses, every person’s form consist of two parts:
- A conjugated form of the auxiliary verb haber. In case of the Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto de Indicativo tense, we use the Presente de Indicativo (Present) conjugation of haber
- Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
- the stem is: envi-
- and the ending is: -ar
And now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s move on 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 Indicativo, which is he. To that we add the Participio enviado to get he enviado:
- yo he enviado – I have bundled off
- tú has enviado – you have bundled off
- él ha enviado – he has bundled off
- ella ha enviado – she has bundled off
- usted ha enviado – (formal) you have bundled off
- nosotros hemos enviado – we have bundled off
- nosotras hemos enviado – (feminine) we have bundled off
- vosotros habéis enviado – (plural) you have bundled off
- vosotras habéis enviado – (feminine, plural) you have bundled off
- ellos han enviado – they have bundled off
- ellas han enviado – (feminine) they have bundled off
- ustedes han enviado – (formal, plural) you have bundled off
¡Ya está! The conjugation is now complete. The final result looks as follows:
yo | he enviado | I have bundled off |
tú | has enviado | you have bundled off |
él/ella/usted | ha enviado | he/she/it has bundled off |
nosotros/nosotras | hemos enviado | we have bundled off |
vosotros/vosotras | habéis enviado | you have bundled off |
ellos/ellas/ustedes | han enviado | they have bundled off |
