PRETÉRITO PERFECTO
El Pretérito perfecto (Present Perfect) se construye con el presente del verbo TO HAVE más
el participio de pasado del verbo que necesitamos. El participio de pasado de los verbos
regulares se construye añadiendo “-ed” a la forma base (infinitivo sin TO) de los verbos
regulares. En los verbos irregulares usamos la palabra de la tercera columna:
walk - walked
talk - talked
see - saw - seen
come - came - come
Se usa para:
a) hablar de experiencias: algo que hemos hecho en alguna ocasión a lo largo de nuestra vida
SIN MENCIONAR EL MOMENTO (porque ello las colocaría en el pasado y habría que
utilizar el pasado simple)
Have you ever ridden a pony? - No, but I have ridden a horse
I have never played Monopoly
My brother has been to the USA
b) para dar noticias, hablar de cosas que se consideren recientes SIEMPRE SIN
MENCIONAR EL MOMENTO; como mucho, y para enfatizar la idea de que algo es
reciente podemos utilizar LATELY (últimamente), RECENTLY (recientemente, hace poco),
JUST (acabo de) ...
They have seen wolves in Sanabria lately
I have just seen Paul
c) para hablar de cosas que han sucedido desde algún momento en el pasado hasta el
presente:
I have always lived in Zamora
se pueden utilizar complementos de tiempo para concretar la duración. Entre ellos hay que
destacar SINCE que mencionará el momento en que empezó a ocurrir la acción, y que puede
ser
a) un número:
I have lived here since1984
3rd November
3:15
b) una acción, un evento
I have lived here since
my last birthday / I married her / I can remember
también se puede utilizar FOR, que siempre introducirá una cantidad de tiempo:
I have lived here for 3 years / 2 minutes / a long time / ever
FOR, SINCE
For muestra la longitude de la acción: He has worked there for six months.
Since muestra cuándo empezó la acción: He has worked there since February.

USED TO
Además de estas formas verbales también hay que mencionar USED TO, que se utiliza para
hablar de un hábito pasado que ya no se tiene:
I used to bite my nails
Pepe used to be very shy.
Aunque también se usa para hablar de una ocurrencia pasada (no tiene por qué ser un hábito)
cuyas circunstancias ya han cambiado:
I used to live near the river. Now I live in the city center.
Cuando el hábito era voluntario, a veces podemos sustituirlo por “would”
He used to bite his = He would bite his nails
pero
He used to live near the river - He would live near the river (el uso de esta forma aquí
indicaría que el hombre insistía en vivir en esa zona, no que ello ocurriera por circunstancias
ajenas a su voluntad, que suele ser el caso con “he used to live near the river”)
La forma “used to” tiene dos posibles formas negativas:
didn’t use to o used not to
aunque últimamente la primera es más habitual.
No nos olvidemos que aunque esta forma se traduce por “solía”, la forma presente “suele” no
es “use to”, sino que usamos el presente simple del verbo que necesitemos con el adverbio de
frecuencia “usually”, “normally”, o cualquiera con esa idea.
Used to describes an action that was customary or that happened for some time in the past but
that does not happen at the present time.
We lived in Maryland before we moved here.
We used to live in Maryland.
I taught English for years; now I’m retired.
I used to teach English.

GOING TO
Además, existe la forma verbal TO BE GOING TO que utilizamos para hablar de las
intenciones, esas cosas que se nos suelen ocurrir cerca de Nochevieja (y que se nos suelen
olvidar dos días después de Reyes), o determinaciones que tomamos después de ver el
boletín de notas (voy a estudiar más), de tener una bronca con el amigo íntimo (voy a confiar
más en él, no la vuelvo a engañar ...), pero siempre con la idea de que es algo que está en
nuestra cabeza, no hemos hecho ningún pacto con nadie, no hemos llegado a ningún acuerdo,
no hemos comprado ningún billete ni nada parecido: no es un plan concertado.
Hay que insistir en que la forma verbal es TO BE GOING TO, y que hay que conjugar el
verbo TO BE:
I am going to study harder from now on (de ahora en adelante)
you are going to be home in time for lunch
he is going to be nicer to his sister
we are going to write more often
you are going to do your homework
they are going to tidy their rooms every weekend
