Questions & Answers about Después de haber revisado el informe, me siento más tranquilo.

Why does the sentence use después de haber revisado instead of just después de revisar?

Both are possible.

• después de revisar el informe = after reviewing the report
• después de haber revisado el informe = after having reviewed the report

The version with haber + past participle is the perfect infinitive. It emphasizes that the review was completed before the person feels calmer.

In everyday Spanish, después de revisar el informe is often more natural and common. The longer form, después de haber revisado, sounds a bit more explicit or slightly more formal.

What exactly is haber revisado grammatically?

Haber revisado is the perfect infinitive.

It is formed with:

• haber
  • past participle
• here: haber revisado

This structure expresses an action that is already finished before another action or state.

So in this sentence:

• haber revisado el informe = to have reviewed the report

It works a bit like English having reviewed or to have reviewed.

Why is there a de after después?
