Questions & Answers about Obrigada por teres lido a minha dedicatória.
Why is it teres lido here instead of just the regular infinitive leres?
teres lido is the Perfect Personal Infinitive. We use this structure (the personal infinitive of ter + a past participle) after prepositions like por to show that the action was already completed before the time of speaking. Saying por leres simply means "for reading", but por teres lido specifically emphasizes "for having read" it in the past.
