today we are going to talk about preterite Oh perfecto it is one of the four past tenses that is used in the Spanish language it usually translates directly into the English perfect tense the perfect tense is used as it is in English to refer to actions which have recently been completed Retreat Oh perfecto is form with the appropriate part of a bear it is the word that means to have a bear plus a past participle of the verb so we can say this morning I have eaten on the Spanish it will be esta mañana a comedo we can also say this morning I have not eaten on Spanish it will be esta mañana no a comedo so as you can see from the previous example we are using the conjugation of the verb a bear so we will use Jo a to us L idea who state ah nosotros M's vosotros a base who steadies edges edges and now we are adding participial or participle so we are using the word the verb comer and its comedo as you can see it is the same so communication is made only on the a bear so in pretérito perfecto you need to memorize two things first one is the conjugation of the verb a bear and second thing is have to create past participle of the verb we will take a look at that part now as you remember on Spanish verbs in infinitive can have 3 and X are air or ear so if you have the verb like to talk a blur is finished in our to create participle for the verbs finished with our we will add a dough for the world's finishing with air and ear we will add either the same so to create participle of the verb finishing with our we will remove part R and leave just the root of the verb AB and add the part add so at the end we will have a blood the same principle is used on the other verbs finishing with our for example estudiar to study is studi add to be a star is a star for we're starting with air we have to eat come ere it will became comida so we're to have Tanner will be tenido verb to be there will be sido so for the verb finishing with ear we will have Revere to live it will became b bd'o verb to live salir will became Salida where to go here it will be just ito so as you can see it's very easy you just need to put a doe or Ito after the root of the verb so those are the regular verbs you portray - perfect but we have a bunch of regulars so let's take a look of some of them so some of the most used are to do a sir is a Jew to write escribir is escrito to say this year is dicho to put poner will became west so to see where will be visto to broke Ron pair will be righto to open abrir abierto to return Paul there will be well toe these are just some of irregular there are many of them and there is no other way than to memorize all of them so for example if you want to ask a question but have you done today we can ask k as H oh oh we are using us as a verb a bear conjugated to second person to to us and we are using a past participle of verb hacer which is irregular edge and the last thing left to talk about is the usage of the pretérito imperfecto we can distinguish four times when to use preterite Oh perfect first usage is most important we are using it for the recent actions between a time frame still incomplete so every time when we use this so this week this vacation or something like that so in Spanish is esta semana estas vacaciones this week I have been in Italy esta semana a IDO Italia so second usage is when we are talking about today so we are talking about things that happened today for example para esta mañana esta tarde esta noche a Samrat assumed moment as unas horas antes de Sena for example this morning I have played football esta mañana a who godoh football 3rd usage is when we are talking about the actions that happen in the past but are related to the present without specific time so for example never always sometimes many times for example I have never seen the snob nunca he visto linear the last usage is when action is realized or it's not realized so for action realized we are using already yeah plus pretérito perfecto and for action not realized we are using not yet that I would or todavía no plus very little perfect for example we have already visited United States but we have still not visited Asia yeah a most visited way status Unidos pero todavía no hemos visited or hacia if you wanna test your knowledge of pretérito perfecto or you just want to take some exercise you can go to our site compiled web.com here you can also find more information about burrito perfecto and at the end you have a particle exercise here you can take test of your knowledge or just make an exercise of pretérito perfect you when you finish you press button check solution and you will get all the correct and incorrect answers with the proper solutions pressing the button recreate test will create a new test you can take it as many times as you want you can take a test using Spanish counters or without them by activating Spanish cars thank you for watching video please subscribe to support us
