A participle combines with haber to form a compound tense.
The idea
Remove -ar and add -ado; remove -er or -ir and add -ido. With haber, the participle stays unchanged.
Examples
- Marta ha preparado la cena.Marta has prepared dinner.
- Hemos visitado el museo esta semana.We have visited the museum this week.
- Luis ha comido una manzana.Luis has eaten an apple.
- La profesora ha aprendido sus nombres.The teacher has learned their names.
- Mis vecinos han vivido aquí muchos años.My neighbors have lived here for many years.
- ¿Has recibido mi mensaje?Have you received my message?
