Spanish Conjugation Help - haber

For some Spanish homework we need to make 25 verb cards with various different forms of conjugations of the words. I picked haber as one of those words.
How would I conjugate this in the affirmative and negative mandates for such an irregular verb?

would it be:
ha tu
haya Ud.
hayan Uds
hayamos nosotros

then for the negative would it be
no hayas tu
and keep the rest the same as the affirmative

ha habido… there has been, there have been…
habia… there was, there were…
habrá… there will be…
habría… there would be…
hubo… there was, there were…

no ha habido… there has not been, there have not been…
no habia… there was not, there were not…
no habrá… there will not be…
no habría… there would not be…
no hubo… there was not, there were not…

he hablado… I have spoken…
había hablado… I had spoken…
hube hablado… I had spoken…
habré hablado… I will have spoken…
habría hablado… I would have spoken…
haya hablado… I may have spoken…
hubiera hablado or hubiese hablado… I might have spoken…

no he hablado… I have not spoken…
no había hablado… I had not spoken…
no hube hablado… I had not spoken…
no habré hablado… I will not have spoken…
no habría hablado… I would not have spoken…
no haya hablado… I may not have spoken…
no hubiera hablado or hubiese hablado… I might not have spoken…

Not sure this is what you are looking for, but perhaps it will help.

What I mean is, if you were ordering tu, Ud, nosotros, and ellos to “haber” how would it be conjugated?

And what if you were ordering those subjects not to “haber”?

The familiar imperative of haber is irregular: hé.

hé tú

haya usted

hayamos nosotros (para algunos, esta forma no debiera existir, pues no se debiera poder imperar a la primera persona).

habed vosotros

hayan ustedes

Is that for the affirmative? Like if I wanted to say, You haber! as an order I would say “iHé tu!”? Or if I wanted to say “Don’t haber!” I would say “iNo hé tu!”

(I can’t get the accented “u” for some reason.)

Thanks CBEscapee. But that link doesn’t work.

One more question: When one is ordering nosotros, does the subject go next to it. Like “iVayamos nosotros!” or should it just be "iVayamos!

tú only goes with:

has, habías, hubiste, habrás, habrías, hayas, hubieras etc.

Tú no has tenido tiempo. (You haven’t had time.) Tú is used very personally, like talking to your wife or girlfriend. Remember that haber is a helping verb and works with tener in this case.

Sorry about that! I’m not sure why it won’t link. Here’s another one.

Usually the imperative is used only in the second person. For first or third person the present subjunctive is used.

The personal pronoun is sometimes used just for emphasis. The conjugation of the verb indicates the person and makes the pronoun redundant sometimes so it’s up to the speaker to decide. * Yo hablo español* is the same as hablo español.

“Haber” is a linking verb (verbo auxiliar).

Yo he…
Tu has…
Él ha…
Nosotros hemos…
Ustedes han…
Ellos han…

I think it contracts “vámonos”.

(Si no, ojalá que alguien me corrija)

oops, I am more or less native and fluent in SPanish, but not all that educated in the language so I don’t know what tenses are called, other than present past or future. I just mean’t that with vamos, vayamos etc. there are contractions like vamonos, vayamonos, etc.
but "vayamos nosotros"just sounds funny - I can’t cite any rules though,

Qwerty…, you may have cornered yourself into a Zen Koan :slight_smile:
But generally: the negative imperative for second person singular is “no” + the present subjunctive. As in:

shoot! = dispara
don’t shoot = no dispares

enter! = entra
don’t enter! = no entres
The “hé tú”, “dispara tú”, “entra tú” construction is really only for the sake of conjugation tables. In real life, the preferred usage is the implied subject. “______ tú” would be used for emphasis or as a rhetorical device in a situation where there’s two of you who could perform the action and you are telling your partner it is or is not up to him to do it (as in “Look, you shoot if you want to , I won’t do it” = Mira, dispara tú si quieres, yo no voy a hacerlo). As cuate sez, it’s unnecessary and indeed it’s a clumsy construction to add the “nosotros”… unless you are making the point of “Let US [and NOT any other bunch of guys, be the ones who] go.”

Oh yea, the negative form of “haber”.

(Yo) no he
(Tú) no has
(Él/ella/usted) no ha
(Ellos/ellas) no han
(Nosotros) no hemos
(Ustedes) no han

Well, I have to say I speak Spanish and I have no clue or understanding of what’s going on here

>> You haber! as an order I would say “iHé tu!”? Or if I wanted to say “Don’t haber!” I would say “iNo hé tu!”

What? Say again? That makes no sense whatsoever. Haber in its most common meaning is an auxiliary verb equivalent to “have” in English. Thus “he comido” = “I have eaten”

If you said “iHé tu!” nobody would have a clue what you are trying to say. It doesn’t make sense in English either. How can you say “hey, you, have!” … have what?

Maybe you have heard and are confusing “Eh!, tú!” where Eh is an exclamation similar to “hey!” and there is no verb.

“iNo hé tu!” ??? I haven’t a clue what this would be or what you would say in English. It makes no sense.

Ok, ok, enough. Forget the divagation about “hé tú” and pay attention to this.

Imperative of “haber:”
(Tú:) Hé / no hayas
(Ud:
) Haya / no haya
(Ns:) Hayamos / no hayamos
(Vs:
) Habed / no hayais
(Uds:**) Hayan / no hayan

(Frankly, the only conceivable usage for imperative “haber” would be something like “hé terminado eso cuando vuelvo” = “have this finished by the time I come back,” but I don’t know if anyone actually talks like this. But it does exist.)

removed smilies :wink: - DrMatrix

Augh! Let’s try that again:

Tu: hé / no hayas
Ud: haya / no haya
Ns: hayamos / no hayamos
Vs: habed / no hayais
Uds: hayan / no hayan

Ok, let me get my 4th grade manual… :smiley:

“Haber” is an auxiliar verb, it’s used in verbal constructions, the same way you use “have been”

It’s used in 5 of 10 verbal times of INDICATIVE MODE, and in 3 of 6 verbal times in SUBJUNCTIVE MODE

(IANAT [teacher], but Subjunctive Mode is used to connote dubt or wish, Imperative Mode to express orders, an Indicative Mode for pretty much everything else)

I’ll transcript only the Indicative Mode verbs that use “haber” verb, if you want conjugations in the Subjunctive Mode, let me know (though they’re not frequently used)

Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto (preterito means past):
Yo he amado/temido/partido
Tú has amado/temido/partido
(Usted ha amado/temido/partido)
Él ha amado/temido/partido
Nosotros hemos amado/temido/partido
Vosotros habéis amado/temido/partido
(Ustedes han amado/temido/partido)
Ellos han amado/temido/partido

Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto:
Yo había amado/temido/partido
Tú habias amado/temido/partido
(Usted había amado/temido/partido)
Él había amado/temido/partido
Nosotros habíamos amado/temido/partido
Vosotros habíais amado/temido/partido
(Ustedes habían amado/temido/partido)
Ellos habían amado/temido/partido

Pretérito Anterior:
Yo hube amado/temido/partido
Tú hubiste amado/temido/partido
(Usted hubo amado/temido/partido)
Él hubo amado/temido/partido
Nosotros hubimos amado/temido/partido
Vosotros hubisteis amado/temido/partido
(Ustedes hubieron amado/temido/partido)
Ellos hubieron amado/temido/partido

Futuro Perfecto:
Yo habré amado/temido/partido
Tú habrás amado/temido/partido
(Usted habrá amado/temido/partido)
Él habrá amado/temido/partido
Nosotros habremos amado/temido/partido
Vosotros habréis amado/temido/partido
(Ustedes habrán amado/temido/partido)
Ellos habrán amado/temido/partido

Condicional Perfecto:
Yo habría amado/temido/partido
Tú habrías amado/temido/partido
(Usted habría amado/temido/partido)
Él habría amado/temido/partido
Nosotros habríamos amado/temido/partido
Vosotros habríais amado/temido/partido
(Ustedes habrían amado/temido/partido)
Ellos habrían amado/temido/partido

If you want the negative form, put a “no” between the person an the verb, e.g. “Yo NO habré amado” (note that the verbal construction is “habré amado”)

Another issue: “Usted” is a respectful form for “Tú” (singular “you”), and “Ustedes” is the same that “Vosotros”: in Latin America “Ustedes” should be used instead of “Vosotros”. I have conjugated them, but in text book and similars they’re not contemplated

Oh, and “amar” (to love), “temer” (to fear) and “partir” (to leave) are paradigm verbs, because all unconjugated verbs in spanish conclude in “ar”, “er”, or “ir”; they’re fully regular verbs

Excuse my odd english and I hope this helps…

Sorry, I definitely haven’t been clear enough, but somehow I’ve gotten my answer. Thanks everyone, I love SDMB!

Anyway, I know that haber would not usually be what you’d order someone to do, but I have to include all these tenses that will never actually get used anyway.

My question has been answered so unless anyone else is curious about haber, this can be closed.
