PastA past-time situation is normally indicated by

the preterit and imperfect

views an action or state as having

occurred —and been completed— at a time prior to another past action, state or time

NOT used to indicate an action which began in previous past time and is still in progress

in

To express the idea “to had just (done

something)”, Spanish usually employs the

imperfect of acabar de plus the infinitive

habíahabíashabíahabíamoshabíaishabían

because the past perfect is a compound tense, two verbs are required: the main verb and the auxiliary verb.

Perfect Subjunctive

• The perfect subjunctive is the same thing as past perfect. • In Spanish, the past perfect tense is formed by using the

imperfect tense of the auxiliary verb "haber" with the past participle. Haber is conjugated as follows:– había

habíashabíahabíamoshabíaishabían

• because the past perfect is a compound tense, two verbs are required: the main verb and the auxiliary verb.
