Hola! How do I properly form How is this different than
forming sentences in english?

Can you give an example? All I can give you right now is Present participle: I am doing something: estar haciendo algo (estoy haciendo algo, estás haciendo algo, etc) I walked to the store, thinking: Fui a la tienda, pensando. It's formed regularly by removing -ar endings and adding -ando, and by removing -er and -ir endings and adding -iendo Past Participle: To have done: haber hecho (he has done = ha hecho, he would have done = habría hecho, he will have done = habrá hecho, he had done = había hecho, etc). Just conjugate haber accordingly. Past participle is formed regularly by adding -ado to the stems of -ar verbs, and -ido to the stems of -er and -ir verbs. But watch out for irregular verbs As for how the usage differs... it really doesn't, except in the case where you'd use subjunctive where we wouldn't in English (which is a lot of places). There are some subtle differences, but it would be impossible to cover them all so you should probably ask about any individual sentences that you think might be formed differently. |
