  2. What is it? Pluscuamperfectois roughly the “had” or “have” form of Spanish. It has two forms, the indicative and the subjunctive. Examples: I had spoken, You had hoped, We had doubted

  3. How to form it To use pluscuamperfecto, you need A subject The correctly conjugated form of “haber” (more on this in the next slides) A past participle verb For example: Yohabíahablado. (I have spoken)

  4. How to conjugate “haber” in the indicative Just a reminder- the indicative is a mood or feeling which reflects perfect certainty. When you use the indicative form, you mean to say that what you are sayinghas, without any doubt, actually happened. No había visto que estabas ahí. I had not seen you were there.

  5. How to conjugate “haber” in the subjunctive (in Latin America, only the “ra” form is used. However, it is good to be familiar with the “se” form) Just a reminder- the subjunctive is a mood or feeling which indicates uncertainty, or deals with hypothetical situations.  Si hubiéramos reservado una mesa, ahora no tendríamos que esperar. Ifwehadreserved a seat, wewouldnotneedtowait.

  6. Because the indicative is a little tricky in knowing when to use it, review this before practicing. The past pefect subjunctive is commonly used in three different ways: 1. Completed actions that had happened before another past action Pablo dudóqueyohubiera/hubieseido a Perú. (Pablo doubted that I had been to Peru.) Mi madre no creyóquehubieras/hubieseslimpiado el cuarto. (My mother did not believe that you had cleaned the room.) El juez no pensóque el testigohubiera/hubiesementido. (The judge didn´t think the witness had lied.) 2. Conditional constructions Si hubiera/hubiesesabido,habríavenido. (If I had known, I would have come.) ¿Lohubiera/hubiesecompradosituviera el dinero? (Would you have bought it if you had had the money?) 3. Hypothetical situations that could have happened, but didn’t. Ojaláquehubiera/hubiesesabido. (I wish I had known.) Ojaláquehubiéramos/hubiésemospodidovenir. (If only we had been able to come.)
