Document Summary
The past perfect subjunctive is formed in the same way we form the past perfect in the indicative! We need a conjugation of the verb haber and a past participle. The past pefect subjunctive is commonly used in three different ways: completed actions that had happened before another past action. Pablo dud que yo hubiera/hubiese ido a per . (pablo doubted that i had been to peru. ) Mi madre no crey que hubieras/hubieses limpiado el cuarto. (my mother did not believe that you had cleaned the room. ) El juez no pens que el testigo hubiera/hubiese mentido. (the judge didn t think the witness had lied. : conditional constructions. Si hubiera/hubiese sabido, habr a venido. (if i had known, i would have come. ) Lo hubiera/hubiese comprado si tuviera el dinero? (would you have bought it if you had had the money?: hypothetical situations that could have happened, but didn"t. Ojal que hubiera/hubiese sabido. (i wish i had known. )
