Professional TeacherWhen we talk about life experiences in Spanish, we normally use the pretérito perfecto (present perfect).
This tense is often combined with time markers such as:
- ya (already)
- todavía no / aún no (not yet)
- alguna vez (ever)
- nunca / jamás (never)
- varias veces (several times)
- X veces (X times)
👉 The structure is:
haber (present) + past participle
Examples:
¿Ya has ido de compras?
No, todavía no.
Nunca he estado en Venezuela.
¿_____ has probado comida mexicana?

Ayer
En 2018
