The conditional perfect describes what *would have* happened or what one *would have* done. It's formed with the conditional of `haber` + a past participle.
|
|
|
|
## Key Rules
|
|
- Form: **conditional of `haber` + past participle**.
|
|
- Endings of `haber` follow the regular conditional pattern (`-ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían`).
|
|
- Past participle does **not** change to agree with subject (it's part of a compound verb).
|
|
- Common use: an action that **would have happened but didn't**.
|
|
- Pairs with the pluperfect subjunctive in contrary-to-fact `si` clauses: *Si hubiera estudiado, habría aprobado.*

## Notes & Gotchas
|
|
- Don't confuse `habría` (conditional perfect) with `había` (pluperfect indicative) or `habría` vs. `habrá` (future perfect).
|
|
- Irregular participles still apply: `abierto`, `dicho`, `hecho`, `escrito`, `puesto`, `visto`, `vuelto`, `roto`, `muerto`.
|
|
- Rare in spoken Spanish — recognize it but don't worry about over-using it.
