Present Perfect ER IR — Spanish Verb Conjugation
Now we’ll practice a few “er/ir” have verbs. Remember, as you briefly learned before, the verb ending is “ido”. Let’s take just a minute to review the different conjugations of “haber”. Be sure and repeat aloud.
| He | Hemos |
remember, for “ar” verbs, the ending is - ado (“ar” verbs”) and for “er/ir” verbs, the ending is - ido (“er/ir” verbs) |
Has |
Habéis |
|
Ha |
Han |
Let’s take a look at a few here. See if you can guess the answers:
| She has learned |
|
Ha aprendido |
All of you have served |
|
Han servido |
Sra. Rodríguez, you have decided? |
|
Ha decidido |
We have lost |
|
Hemos perdido |
Rosa, have you lived |
|
Has aprendido |
They have attended |
|
Han asistido |
He has repeated |
|
Ha repetido |
I have promised |
|
He prometido |
How did you do? In a few minutes you can practice more of these, but first, we need to learn a few new vocabulary words:
| a dog | un perro |
for a long time |
por mucho tiempo |
muchas veces |
many times |
forever |
para siempre |
yet |
todavía |
the class |
La clase |
Now, just a quick side note. In Spanish, if you say you are going to attend anything, like a class or meeting, you have to put an “a” after the word “attend” (asistir). For example, “I attend the class” would be “Asisto a la clase”. In the next practice session, you will get to practice “er/ir” have verbs.
