The pretérito perfecto expresse actions made in the past that persist in the present...well this is the formal explanation but for people who speaks english is better an more easy if we just compare this examples because is the same:
yo he comprado.....................I have bought
tu has venido..........................you have come
el/ella ha hecho.....................he/she has done
nosotros hemos saltado..........we have jumped
vosotros habeis sonrreido.......you have smailed
ellas/ellos han habalado..........they have spoken
As you can see is the same structure yo, tu, el....+ verbo HABER (in each form market in black above)+ participle of verb which says what we have done (never said better)
well now I am sure that you want to know how we know the participle of each verb...well there is a kind of rul that just works with rregular verbs but is so good because you are going to make a big step in spanish knowledge:
the verbs that his infinitive ends with -ar just remove the r and add -ado
the verbs that his infinitive ends with -er and -ir just remove the -er -ir and add -ido
Examples:
infinitive participle
cantar(to sing)............................................cantado
comprar(to buy).........................................comprado
saltar(to jump)...........................................saltado
comer(to eat)..............................................comido
correr(to run)...............................................corrido
venir(to come...............................................venido
