COMPOUND VERB
Definition: Spanish compound verbs are much simpler: there is only one auxiliary verb and the two parts of the verb stay together A verb formed by the combination of an auxiliary verb followed by the main verb.
Examples in Spanish:
we are cooking
estamos cocinando
in Spanish compound languages. They consist usually of a modal verb (to have) and the perfect participle.
present perfect
I have worked in spain for two years
He trabajado en españa por dos años
past perfect
I hadn’t gone out when she came
Yo no había salido cuando ella vino
future perfect
Before you come, I will have finished
Antes de que vengas, yo ya habré terminado
Conditional Perfect
