Present Perfect -ER IR- Spanish Verb Conjugation

Now we’ll practice a few “er/ir” have verbs. Let’s take just a minute to review the different conjugations of “haber”. Be sure and repeat aloud.
He
Hemos
remember, for “ar” verbs, the ending is - ado  (“ar” verbs”)
and for “er/ir” verbs, the ending is - ido (“er/ir” verbs)
Has
Habéis
Ha
Han

Let’s take a look at a few here. See if you can guess the answers:
She has learned

Ha aprendido
All of you have served

Han servido
Sra. Rodríguez, you have decided?

Ha decidido
We have lost

Hemos perdido
Rosa, have you  lived

Has aprendido
They have attended

Han asistido
He has repeated

Ha repetido
I have promised

He prometido

How did you do? In a few minutes you can practice more of these, but first, we need to learn a few new vocabulary words:
a dog
un perro
for a long time
por mucho tiempo
muchas veces
many times
forever
para siempre
yet
todavía
the class
La clase

Now, just a quick side note. In Spanish, if you say you are going to attend anything, like a class or meeting, you have to put an “a” after the word “attend” (asistir). For example, “I attend the class” would be “Asisto a la clase”
