Are the three connectives synonymous or is there a slight difference in their meaning?

Hello,

I have come across this: "haber hecho" as in: 

"After having done this... Después de haber hecho esto... "

and searched here for this structure and found this lesson, but not this form for "haber hecho" nor did I find anything  online except one site calling it an idiom.

I was wondering what part of speech "haber hecho" is, I can't find it as a tense and have not been able to find its grammatical term.  I don't think this is an "idiom".  Thanks for your help in claryfing this.

Hello,

I was just wondering about this today, how to tell when to use the subjunctive or the future.  Both have this element of uncertainly - to a certain degree - haven't happened as yet and both deal with maybes, etc. The future is never really set in stone.

For example : I will go out when the sun shines.  I think that in Spanish this could be said in either future or subjunctive, i.e.:

Saldré cuando brille el sol.

Saldré cuando brillará el sol.

Can you help me better understand this. 

Thank you.

Inma, I just wanted to say that this lesson is the best on the subject.  No other place have I heard/seen the reference of "seeing the .......".  This really helped me a lot to "get" these very interesting tenses.  Thank you for sharing your insight/knowledge with us and your patience!
