The perfect tense is a compound tense that is used to express actions or events that have a connection to the past, present, or future. This mood includes present perfect, future perfect, past perfect (pluperfect), conditional perfect, and preterite perfect.
Present Perfect
The present perfect is often used to express actions that have taken place at an unspecified time in the past, actions that have relevance to the present, or actions that have been completed recently. When applied to sentir, it allows us to express emotions and sensations that have happened recently, and are still relevant. The present perfect is especially useful when we talk about how we have felt before now. For example, “He sentido mucha alegría hoy.” (“I have felt a lot of joy today”).

Future Perfect
The future perfect tense helps us to look into the upcoming events and describe experiences that will be felt before a certain point in time. The future perfect tense, made by the combination of haber in the future tense with sentido (the past participle of sentir), helps us talk about feelings in the future. It allows us to say that, by a certain time in the future, a feeling will have been experienced. For example, “Para el momento de la graduación, habré sentido una gran satisfacción” (“By the time of graduation, I will have felt a great sense of accomplishment”).
