#HAY IN PAST TENSE SPANISH HOW TO#

How do I say 'there was' or 'there had been'. You can also use the impersonal form haba to explain what there was (the presence or existence of something) at some point in the past. 1 I know that 'hay' means 'there is' or 'there are'. We use haber conjugated to the past imperfect tense to form the Spanish past perfect tense.

Any irregularity would come from a verb with an irregular past participle, but the haber + past participle structure still holds true. Haber imperfect conjugations are regular. As the structure for this tense is a form of haber with the past participle, there are no irregular verbs in this tense.

The past participle of a regular verb is formed by adding - ado to the stem of an -AR verb, and - ido to the stem of an -ER or -IR verb.As this is the future perfect indicative, it takes the simple future indicative form of haber. This tense (and all perfect tenses) uses a form of the irregular helping verb haber (meaning to have done).
