Accomplishments
Accomplishment
For example:
I have lived in Pachuca for 5 years.
This
accomplishment
started in the past
(the year 2010)
Continues at the
present (because I
never mentioned that
now I’m living in a
different place.)
Can be prolonged
through the future
(until I move to
another city or die!)
To express accomplishments we need:
The verb Have / Has which in Spanish is
“Haber”, so the conjugation is as follows:
I have – yo he
You have – tú has
He has – él ha
She has – ella ha
It has – esto ha
We have – nosotros hemos
You have – ustedes han
They have – ellos han
