The "perfect infinitive" is a compound tense formed using the formula below: haber + the past participle = perfect infinitive Example: the past participle of hablar (to speak) is hablado. Example: the past participle of terminar (to finish) is terminado. Some example sentences:
I hope to have finished by noon. Gracias por habernos invitado. Since the infinitive auxiliary verb is unconjugated, the past infinitive is the same for all subjects. In addition, the past participle is invariable.
Ella quisiera haber salido... - She wants to have departed... Quisiéramos haber salido... - We want to have departed... |
