EL PERFECTO DEL SUBJUNTIVO : THE PRESENT PERFECT SUBJUNCTIVE

The present perfect tense of the subjunctive mood is used to express desire, doubt, or emotion when something(s) has or have happened. It is the equivalent of saying the following in English:

I’m glad (that) you have attended the class.

I doubt (that) he has taken his medicine.

I certainly hope (that) you have learned something here.

EL PRESENTE PERFECTO DEL SUBJUNTIVO

Now, we are ready to undertake and embark upon how to form this tense of the subjunctive mood. It is used with the past participle, which is the equivalent of the “ed” or “en” endings in English. This is the subjunctive mood of the present perfect tense (ha tenido). Please see Chapters 5 and 10 for review of the indicative mood.
