How to translate Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto to English

Note 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 conjugated 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

See the conjugation charts to learn how to conjugate the auxiliary verb haber. That’s a separate topic, so for brevity we are focusing on the parts derived from hacer only here.This verb has an irregular Participle which needs to be learned by heart. It is hecho. 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. And to that we add the Participio hecho to get haya hecho:

• yo haya hecho – I have done

Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again need to take the second person singular form of haber from the Presente de Subjuntivo tense, and it is hayas. And to this auxiliary verb we add the Participio hecho (so the exact same word as previously) to get hayas hecho:

• tú hayas hecho – you have done

Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Presente tense and we use the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely haya. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get haya hecho:

• él haya hecho – he have done
• ella haya hecho – she have done
• usted haya hecho – (formal) you have done

The first person plural has the form hayamos hecho. It’s created by following the same logic as in the other persons. We first take the form of the first person plural from haber conjugation in the Presente de Subjuntivo tense: hayamos. Second, to this word we again add the Participio of hacer: hecho to get hayamos hecho:

• nosotros hayamos hecho – we have done
• nosotras hayamos hecho – (feminine) we have done

Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We have to get the inflected form of the verb haber in the Presente de Subjuntivo tense, second person plural, and it is hayáis. Next, we take our unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hayáis hecho:

• vosotros hayáis hecho – (plural) you have done
• vosotras hayáis hecho – (feminine, plural) you have done

And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hayan hecho. We create it in the exact same manner as in all the other grammatical persons. We need the third person plural of haber first, from its Presente conjugation. It is hayan. We add the Participio of hacer again (hecho) to get hayan hecho:

• ellos hayan hecho – they have done
• ellas hayan hecho – (feminine) they have done
• ustedes hayan hecho – (formal, plural) you have done

¡Ya está! The conjugation is now finished. That’s the final result:

yo	haya hecho	I have done
tú	hayas hecho	you have done
él/ella/usted	haya hecho	he/she/it have done
nosotros/nosotras	hayamos hecho	we have done
vosotros/vosotras	hayáis hecho	you have done
ellos/ellas/ustedes	hayan hecho	they have done
