✦Grammar Breakdown
Incluyecualquiercirugíaquehayastenido
Imperative (tú) form
‘Incluye’ is the affirmative imperative of ‘incluir’ for the familiar ‘tú’ form, used to give a direct instruction.
Indefinite adjective ‘cualquier’
‘Cualquier’ is used before a singular noun to mean ‘any’; it never takes a plural form.
Relative clause with subjunctive
When the antecedent is indefinite (any surgery), the verb in the relative clause takes the present perfect subjunctive: ‘que hayas tenido’.
Present perfect subjunctive
‘Hayas tenido’ combines the auxiliary ‘haber’ in the present subjunctive (hayas) with the past participle ‘tenido’ to express a completed action in the past that is uncertain or non‑specific.

Incluye cualquier cirugía que hayas tenido.
Include any surgery you have had.
✕Common Mistakes
Incluye cualquier cirugía que has tenido.
The relative clause needs the subjunctive because the antecedent is indefinite; use ‘hayas tenido’ instead of the indicative ‘has tenido’.
Incluye cualquier cirugías que hayas tenido.
‘Cualquier’ only modifies singular nouns; the plural form would be ‘cualesquiera cirugías’, but it sounds overly formal.
Incluya cualquier cirugía que hayas tenido.
‘Incluya’ is the formal (usted) imperative; unless you are speaking formally, the familiar ‘Incluye’ is more natural in most questionnaires.
↔Alternatives
Añade cualquier operación que hayas tenido.

Menciona cualquier intervención quirúrgica que hayas tenido.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, medical forms prefer the subjunctive after indefinite antecedents (cualquier, algún, etc.) because the speaker is not referring to a specific, known surgery. Also, ‘cirugía’ is a formal term; in everyday speech people may say ‘operación’ or ‘intervención’. Be mindful of the register: use ‘cirugía’ in professional contexts and ‘operación’ in casual conversation.
