44. Conditional Perfect Tense


[on-screen 03:20:51] The Conditional Perfect

[03:20:51] conditional perfect tense in Spanish indicates what would have happened or

[on-screen 03:20:54] The Conditional Perfect What would have happened or what one would have done

[03:20:54] what one would have done in English it's a tense that's not used often but when it is it's a simple concept because all we do is put the construction would have

[on-screen 03:21:01] The Conditional Perfect In English: (would have + participle) | would have + [pa] | We would have + [pa] You would have + [pa] | Yall would have + [pa] He would have + [pa] | They would have + [pa]

[03:21:02] and then we add any participle that we want after in Spanish however we have a

[on-screen 03:21:05] The Conditional Perfect In Spanish: (conjugation of “haber” > would have)

[03:21:06] slightly different concept that again uses the verb a but in the conditional perfect we use a conjugation that is equivalent to both of the words would have for the Y pronoun we have the word

[on-screen 03:21:14] The Conditional Perfect In Spanish: (conjugation of “haber” > would have) habria + [pa] | habriamos + [pa] habrias + [pa] | habriais + [pa] habria + [pa] | habrian + [pa]

[03:21:15] abria which is a conjugation of a plus any participle that we want after for two we have abas for L we have abria for noos we have abos Vos Abri and AOS Abri as you can probably tell by looking at the chart the ending of all of these

[on-screen 03:21:30] The Conditional Perfect In Spanish: (conjugation of “haber” » would have) habria + [pa] | habriamos + [pa] habrias + [pa] | habriais + [pa] habria + [pa] | habrian + [pa]

[03:21:30] conjugations of a perfectly correspond

[on-screen 03:21:32] The Conditional In Spanish: (infinitive form + ending letters) ia ijamos ias fais ia ian

[03:21:33] to the ending pattern of verbs in the simple conditional and that is because the conditional perfect literally just

[on-screen 03:21:37] The Conditional Perfect In Spanish: (conjugation of “haber” » would have) habria + [pa] | habriamos + [pa] habrias + [pa] | habriais + [pa] habria + [pa] | habrian + [pa]

[03:21:37] copies the ending that you would have for verbs in the conditional so it's really not that difficult to memorize as always try not focusing on these

[on-screen 03:21:43] The Conditional Perfect In Spanish: (conjugation of “haber” > would have) habria + [pa] | habriamos* [pa] habrias + [pa] habrigi + [pa] habria + [pa] | habrian *{[pa]

[03:21:44] conjugations because they're the least used ones in conversation in Spanish a way that the conditional perfect can be used effectively is by expressing an action that would have happened but did not saying something like

[on-screen 03:21:53] Yo habria terminado mi trabajo

[03:21:55] y would mean I would have finished my

[on-screen 03:21:57] Yo habria terminado mi trabajo | would have finished my job

[03:21:57] job with ABA being the conjugation that

[on-screen 03:21:58] Yo habria terminado mi trabajo | would have finished my job

[03:22:00] matches the Y pronoun additionally I can

[on-screen 03:22:03] Tu habrias disfrutado estar ahi

[03:22:04] to which means you would have enjoyed

[on-screen 03:22:06] Tu habrias disfrutado estar ahi You would have enjoyed being there

[03:22:06] being there with abas matching the pronoun too or maybe we can say Aya

[on-screen 03:22:11] Ella habria abierto las ventanas

[03:22:11] abria abto Las Ventanas meaning she would have opened the windows with abria

[on-screen 03:22:14] Ella habria abierto las ventanas She would have opened the windows

[03:22:16] matching the pronoun Aya and with abierto being an irregular participle as always the same concept applies to any phrase that you want to say using the conditional perfect tense in Spanish

[on-screen 03:22:25] The Conditional Perfect In Spanish: (conjugation of “haber” > would have) habria + [pa] | habriamos + [pa] habrias + [pa] | habriais + [pa] habria + [pa] | habrian + [pa]

[03:22:25] even though I did not present many examples in this video the conditional perfect is one of the least used tenses in Spanish mainly because no one uses it in actual conversation just like with the future perfect tense I did not present any sentences involving negatives reflexive verbs and object pronouns mostly because it's impossible to make a logical phrase using these ideas if anything the conditional perfect is a tense that is useful to know but not useful to utilize so that's
