Questions & Answers about Lamento que tu tenhas feito o levantamento desse montante.
Why do we use the Perfect Subjunctive (tenhas feito) here instead of the Present Subjunctive (faças)?
The verb lamentar (to regret) expresses an emotion, which triggers the subjunctive. We need the Perfect Subjunctive (tenhas feito) rather than the Present Subjunctive (faças) because the withdrawal already happened in the past, but the feeling of regret is happening right now in the present.
How exactly is tenhas feito formed?
It combines the Present Subjunctive of the helper verb ter (which is tenhas for tu) with the past participle of the action verb. Here, the action is fazer (to do/make), which has the irregular past participle feito.
Could I use the verb levantar directly instead of saying fazer o levantamento?
Why use desse instead of daquele to say of that?
