Compound tenses are formed with the verb ''haven'' "to have" followed by the past participle. They differ from each other according to the tense of the auxiliary verb.

*Non-finite forms:

====='''Periphrastic tenses'''=====

In addition to the usual simple and compound tenses, there are additional periphrastic tenses formed with auxiliary verbs. These can themselves take any simple or compound tense.-->

Formed with the appropriate conjugation of ''vesen'' "to be" with the appropriately declined form of the past participle.

<!--

It can also be used as a pseudopassive, especially with intransitive verbs. In this case, the participle is always in the neuter.-->

* Verbs that have an irregular imperfect stem use that stem in the imperfect indicative and subjunctive instead of the expected ''-ed-/-od-'' suffix. The endings added to the past stem remain the same (i.e. ''-a, -es,...'' in the indicative and ''-o, -es,...'' in the subjunctive).

* Verbs that have an irregular imperfect stem may form their past participle in one of two ways depending on how the imperfect stem is derived:

* Some verbs have an irregular future stem (i.e. a stem other than the infinitive), usually derived by contraction. In this case, the endings normally added to the infinitive in the future and conditional tenses are instead added to the irregular stem.

* Some verbs have a vowel change in the stem conditioned by stress. Most often, this alternation is between ''-è-'' and ''-e-'', or ''-ò-'' and ''-o-'' (the first of each set occurring when stressed, and the second when unstressed).
