Hi Spanish learners,😀
In Spanish, we use Past Perfect Tense when we want to talk about an action in the past that happened before another action in the past.
Structure
Subject + Haber (imperfect form) + verb (past participle) + Complement
Conjuction
If you want to say a sentence n Past Perfect Tense, you need to know how to conjugate the verb Haber. The next table shows you how you can conjugate it.
| Subject | Haber (Imperfect Form) |
|---|---|
| Yo | Había |
| Tú | Habías |
| Él/Ella/Usted | Había |
| Nosotros/Nosotras | Habíamos |
| Vosotros/Vosotras | Habíais |
| Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas | Habían |
Examples
- Yo había escrito un libro hace muchos años (I had written a book many years ago)
- Nosotras habíamos ganado el trofeo antes de que vinieras (we had won the trophy before you came)
- Vosotros ya habíais hecho la tarea cuando la pedí (You had already done the homework when I ordered it)
