The Present Perfect Subjunctive

The Present Perfect subjunctive is formed in the same way we form the present perfect in the indicative.  We need a conjugation of the verb Haber and a past participle.  The only difference is that we conjugate Haber  in the present subjunctive!
Haber yo él, ella, usted nosotros ellos, ellas, ustedes
haya hayas haya hayamos hayan

But we still use the same past participles as we do for the regular present perfect:

Espero que ellos hayan llegado a tiempo. I hope they arrived (have arrived) on time.

Practice with the Present Perfect Subjunctive:
- decide if you need the Present Perfect Indicative or the Present Perfect Subjunctive!
