Beside the present and past perfect tenses, there are also the preterite, future and
conditional perfect tenses. All are conjugated with a form of haber and a past participle.
The preterite perfect is formed with the preterite of haber + past participle, and it has the
same meaning as the past perfect. But this tense is normally only used after conjunctions
of time, such as así que, luego que, tan pronto como (as soon as); cuando (when);
después (de) que (after); and hasta que (until).
The future perfect is formed with the future of haber + past participle and is also used to
express probability, referring to the present.
The conditional perfect is formed with the conditional of haber + past participle and is
also used to express probability, referring to the past.
Since / For : desde hace + a period of time (careful with verb tenses here: present tense
in Spanish, present perfect or present perfect continuous in English)
No vienes a verme desde hace un mes. You haven't come to see me for a month.

87. Exclamations
Exclamatory phrases, which express what a or how, begin with qué, cuánto, and cómo.
Qué can be followed by a noun or an adjective. Sometimes tan or más are also used with
the adjective to emphasize a defect or a quality. ¡Qué mujer! What a woman! ¡Qué
familia tan unida! What a united family!
Cuánto expresses quantity, and agrees in gender and number with the adjective that
follows. It can also be followed by a verb, in which case there is no agreement.
Furthermore, lo que can replace cuánto when a verb follows. ¡Cuánta comida! How
much food! / There's a lot of food! ¡Cuánto comes! How you eat! / You eat a lot!
Cómo expresses the manner in which something is done. It can only be followed by a
verb. ¡Cómo baila! How he dances! / He dances well!
To express an action that is just about to happen: estar a punto de + infinitive or estar
para + infinitive. El avión está para aterrizar. The plane is about to land.
To express an action that has just happened: acabar de + infinitive. Acabo de llegar. I
just arrived.
Several verbs in Spanish that express feelings (pleasure, pain, etc.) have different word
order than in English. These verbs have the same construction as gustar (#35): Indirect
object + verb + subject. Me, te, le, nos, os, les are the indirect object pronouns. The verb
is conjugated in third person singular or plural because it agrees with the subject, not the
indirect object.
You can also add a mí, a ti, a él, a ella, a usted, a nosotros/-as, a vosotros/-as, a ellos, a
ellas, or a ustedes before the indirect object for emphasis.
