Remember the concept of aspect? If you need a quick refresher, just click here.
In this post, we’ll explore the compound aspect. In English, the compound aspect allows us to express actions with greater specificity than usual. For example, instead of saying “I eat” or “I ate,” we say “I have eaten.”
There are three main tenses within the compound aspect. Below, you’ll find them listed — feel free to click on each one to visit its detailed page:
1.COMPOUND PRESENT (PRESENTE COMPUESTO): I have spoken / Yo he hablado
2. COMPOUND PAST (PASADO COMPUESTO): I had spoken / Yo había hablado
3. COMPOUND FUTURE (FUTURO COMPUESTO): I will have spoken / Yo habré hablado COMING SOON
