> The Present Perfect Subjunctive

**[03:58:33]** perfect subjunctive in Spanish talks

> **[on-screen 03:58:35]**
> The Present Perfect Subjunctive Talks about what someone has done or what has happened in the subjunctive form

**[03:58:35]** about what someone has done or what has happened in the subjunctive form just just like the regular present perfect the present perfect subjunctive is

> **[on-screen 03:58:40]**
> The Present Perfect: (conjugation of “haber”) he + [pa] | hemos + [pa] has + [pa] | habéis + [pa] ha + [pa] | han + [pa]

**[03:58:41]** formed using the verb a and the past participle expressing an action that recently has happened despite being part of the subjunctives in my opinion the present perfect subjunctive is one of the easiest topics to understand because the same conditions activated as in the normal present perfect unlike the present perfect the verb a in this case needs to be conjugated differently in the present perfect subjunctive instead of these conjugations you have these

> **[on-screen 03:59:02]**
> The Present Perfect Subjunctive: (conjugation of “haber”) haya + [pa] | hayamos + [pa] hayas + [pa] | hayais + [pa] haya + [pa] | hayan + [pa]

**[03:59:02]** ones yo a in the present perfect subjunctive would mean I have and then a past participle to a would mean you have El he has noos we have Vos a y'all have and AOS aan they have in the present perfect subjunctive I recommend focusing on all pronouns except votos because

> The Present Perfect Subjunctive: (conjugation of “haber”) haya + [pa] | hayamos + [pa] hayas + [pa] haysis*[pal haya + [pa] | hayan + [pa]

**[03:59:22]** they're very useful to know in Spanish just like the normal present subjunctive

> **[on-screen 03:59:25]**
> In the present perfect subjunctive, any sentence \ViUST bein some form of the present

**[03:59:25]** sentences in the present perfect subjunctive must all be in some form of the present because the action is occurring before it's expressed in the main clause in other words every verb within a phrase has to be in the present form and here's what I mean let's take

> **[on-screen 03:59:38]**
> | hope that you have slept well

**[03:59:38]** the sentence I hope that you have slept well how would you say it in

> **[on-screen 03:59:43]**
> | hope that you have slept well Yo espero que tu hayas dormido bien

> **[on-screen 03:59:46]**
> | hope that you have slept well esperar Yo espero que tu hayas dormido bien W.E.I.R.D verb activates Conjugation of past participle the subjunctive “haber”

**[03:59:48]** being a conjugation of a and Doro being the past participle the convenient part is that unlike the previous subjunctives that I've shown both in English and Spanish there's only one way to express the two sentences because all verbs in

> **[on-screen 03:59:58]**
> | hope that you have slept well esperar Yo espero que tu hayas dormido bien W.E.I.R.D verb activates Conjugation of past participle the subjunctive “haber”

**[03:59:59]** the two phrases are in the present and they all have to remain as they do in English you can technically say I hope

> **[on-screen 04:00:04]**
> | hope that you slept well

**[04:00:04]** that you slept well but when you put

> **[on-screen 04:00:05]**
> | hope that you slept well Yo espero que tu dormiste bien

**[04:00:05]** this phrase in Spanish it will not

> **[on-screen 04:00:07]**
> | hope that you slept well Yo 4 bien

**[04:00:07]** activate the subjunctive because you have two different tenses I hope is in

> **[on-screen 04:00:10]**
> present past | hope that you slept well Yo 4 bien

**[04:00:11]** the present and you slept is in the past and these two forms do not allow the subjunctive to be activated which is why we have to include the present perfect

> **[on-screen 04:00:18]**
> | hope that you have slept well Yo espero que tu hayas dormido bien

**[04:00:18]** you have slept now the sentence has one whole tense which allows for the subjunctive unlike the previous videos that I've done about the subjunctive in this video I will not present too many phrases because the present perfect subjunctive is one of the least used Topics in Spanish some of the sentences that you will see will randomly be made with verbs that come from weird and with a few phrases having a general main Clause so watch out for that how would you say this

> **[on-screen 04:00:41]**
> | am happy that he has said the truth

> **[on-screen 04:00:44]**
> | am happy that he has said the truth Yo estoy feliz de que él haya dicho la verdad

> **[on-screen 04:00:47]**
> We don’t believe that you have eaten a lot

> **[on-screen 04:00:49]**
> We don’t believe that you have eaten a lot No creemos que tu hayas comido mucho

> **[on-screen 04:00:52]**
> It's possible that we have done something bad

> **[on-screen 04:00:55]**
> It's possible that we have done something bad Es posible que hayamos hecho algo malo

> **[on-screen 04:00:58]**
> It's impossible that they have written a book

> **[on-screen 04:01:01]**
> It's impossible that they have written a book Es imposible que ellos hayan escrito un libro

> **[on-screen 04:01:04]**
> | hope that you have resolved the problem

> **[on-screen 04:01:08]**
> | hope that you have resolved the problem Yo espero que tu hayas resuelto el problema

> **[on-screen 04:01:11]**
> You hope that he has studied for the test

> **[on-screen 04:01:14]**
> You hope that he has studied for the test Tu esperas que él haya estudiado para la prueba

> **[on-screen 04:01:18]**
> It’s sad that he has not passed it

> **[on-screen 04:01:21]**
> It’s sad that he has not passed it Es triste que él no lo haya pasado

> **[on-screen 04:01:24]**
> It’s sad that he has not passed it Es triste que él no lo haya pasado

**[04:01:24]** because there's a negative and the direct object pronoun which are both placed before the conjugated verbs in case you don't remember the present perfect subjunctive functions the same way as the regular present perfect which means that the phrase a plus a past participle cannot be split apart this is is the reason why negatives and object pronouns are always placed before this

> **[on-screen 04:01:41]**
> It’s sad that he has not passed it Es triste que él no lo haya pasado Ney

**[04:01:42]** construction how would you say

> **[on-screen 04:01:43]**
> She doubts that we have come so fast

> **[on-screen 04:01:47]**
> She doubts that we have come so fast Ella duda que hayamos venido tan rapido

> **[on-screen 04:01:50]**
> They are worried that you have seen them

> **[on-screen 04:01:52]**
> They are worried that you have seen them Ellos estan preocupados de que tu los hayas visto

> **[on-screen 04:01:56]**
> They are worried that you have seen them Ellos estan preocupados de que tu los hayas visto

**[04:01:56]** object pronoun coming before the conjugated verb here's the last phrase

> **[on-screen 04:01:59]**
> It’s a shame that they have not given me it

**[04:01:59]** for the video how would you say

> **[on-screen 04:02:03]**
> It’s ashame that they have not given me it Es una lastima que ellos no me lo hayan dado

> **[on-screen 04:02:07]**
> It’s a shame that they have not given me it Es una lastima que ellos no me lo hayan dado

**[04:02:07]** because it had a negative and two object pronouns which were all put before the conjugative verb conversationally it will not be as difficult as this so this is the most that you have to know and understand with the present perfect subjunctive even though it's a subjunctive the present perfect has very minimal use in the subjunctive itself mainly because it's not used that often and like I always say it's a concept that is more useful to Know Than to use so that's that the past perfect
