Haber + Participio Pasado

Haber is an auxiliary verb combined with the past participle to express actions that have happened in the past but have relevance to the present:


"Tintin! Tintin! Wake up!" "Ah!  He heard me!"




"Good evening Captain.  Did you have a good day?"  "Excellent, my little landlubber*...And you?  You must be very tired..."
* grumetillo - literally, cabinboy.  One of Haddock's nautical terms of endearment.

"Here it goes!"  "Did you see?  I think I've discovered something interesting...Go find the rope.  Attach a rock to it and throw it to where I am.'   "Right away."
