Saying What "Has Happened" in Spanish: The Perfect Aspect

Описание: This video is somewhat self contradictory: I'm teaching you 8 tenses, but I'm not really teaching you any tenses at all! What I'm actually teaching you is called the Perfect Aspect, which uses the verb "Haber" to describe completed actions which "have," "had," "will have," or "would have" happened.

This video approaches the end of my series on Spanish verb conjugations. To get the full value of this video, I highly recommend that you watch the previous videos in the series first, since that's where the tenses that are modified using the Perfect Aspect are fully explained.

In this video I introduce the Perfect Aspect using the verb "haber" followed by our target verb's Past Participle. I teach you how to conjugate Past Participles, and share with you the 9 most common irregular ones. From there, I go tense by tense explaining how the verb "haber" is used in different tenses to convey different timeframes for completed actions.

I then share with you opportunities to boost your fluency quickly with my help. Visit https://buymeacoffee.com/AustinTeache... or email me at [email protected] if you want to access advanced learning opportunities including private lessons and my full conjugation spreadsheet, while supporting my new channel for a reasonable fee.

After that, I give you a chance to practice what you've learned. Before wrapping up, I share with you how the Perfect Aspect can be used with the verb "ser" to turn our past participle into an adjective.

Finally, I close out by sharing with you the topic of my next lesson, and briefly discuss future plans. I hope you enjoy, let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
