[on-screen 04:02:29] The Past Perfect Subjunctive

[04:02:29] subjunctive in Spanish speaks about what

[on-screen 04:02:31] The Past Perfect Subjunctive Speaks about what someone had done or what had happened in the subjunctive form

[04:02:31] someone had done or what had happened in the subjunctive form like the present

[on-screen 04:02:34] The Present Perfect Subjunctive: (conjugation of “haber”) haya + [pa] | hayamos + [pa] hayas + [pa] | hayais + [pa] haya + [pa] | hayan + [pa]

[04:02:34] perfect subjunctive the past perfect subjunctive also uses the construction a plus a past participle but in this case the verb a has to be conjugated

[on-screen 04:02:41] The Past Perfect Subjunctive: (Past/Imperfect Tense - Conjugation of “haber”) hubiera + [pa] | hubiéramos + [pa] hubieras + [pa] | hubierais + [pa] hubiera + [pa] | hubieran + [pa]

[04:02:42] differently because the past perfect subjunctive speaks of the imperfect past tense y UA in the past perfect subjunctive would mean I had and then a past participle to uas you had El U he noos we had y'all had andos they had in the past perfect subjunctive I recommend not focusing on these pronouns because

[on-screen 04:03:03] The Past Perfect Subjunctive: (Past/Imperfect Tense - Conjugation of “haber”) hubiera + [pa] | hubié amg + [pal] hubieras + [pa] ‘hubied + [pa] hubiera + [pa] | hu¥ieran’\ [pa]

[04:03:04] they're not that useful in conversation just like the regular past perfect the past perfect subun indicates actions that had taken place before another action in the past additionally

[on-screen 04:03:13] In the past perfect subjunctive, any sentence \iUST be in the past/imperfect form

[04:03:13] sentences in the past perfect subjunctive must all be in some form of the past because the action occurred before being expressed in the main clause in other words every verb within a phrase has to be in the imperfect form which is similar to the present perfect subjunctive where every verb within a phrase is in the present in this case we're working in the past and because the past perfect subjunctive is one of the least used Topics in Spanish and also because it's the final Spanish concept that I will cover I will present just a few sentences in this video the sentences that you will see will randomly be made with verbs that come from weird and with a few phrases having a general main Clause how would you say

[on-screen 04:03:45] | doubted that you had arrived

[on-screen 04:03:47] | doubted that you had arrived Yo dudaba que tu hubieras llegado

[on-screen 04:03:50] You hoped that he had won the game

[on-screen 04:03:53] You hoped that he had won the game Tu esperabas que él hubiera ganado el juego

[on-screen 04:03:56] Was there anybody who had seen the movie?

[on-screen 04:03:59] Was there anybody who had seen the movie? éHabia alguien que hubiera visto la pelicula?

[04:04:03] because it's put in question form along with using ABIA as the phrase there was in the imperfect tense how would you say

[on-screen 04:04:08] There was no one who had slept

[on-screen 04:04:13] There was no one who had slept No habia nadie que hubiera dormido

[04:04:13] no this sentence was a bit hard because we had to use double negatives in

[on-screen 04:04:17] There was no one who had slept No habia nadie que hubiera dormido

[04:04:17] Spanish and also because it wasn't clear who the subject was in the phrase here's

[on-screen 04:04:21] It was not true that I had called him

[04:04:21] the last example for this video how would you say it in

[on-screen 04:04:27] It was not true that I had called him No era cierto que yo lo hubiera llamado

[04:04:30] hard because we had to use era as the

[on-screen 04:04:32] It was not true that I had called him No era cierto que yo lo hubiera llamado

[04:04:32] imperfect tense of was and also because we had a direct object pronoun L coming

[on-screen 04:04:36] It was not true that | had called him No era cierto que yo lo hubiera llamado

[04:04:36] before the construction a plus a past participle conversationally it will not be as difficult as this so it's a concept that is more useful to Know Than to use so that's that and here this is where the final Spanish concept and all of its fundamentals come to an end throughout all of the videos that I've done for the past few months I basically covered every Spanish principle and concept that one has to know when learning Spanish beginning with my
