4. H3 Past Perfect (Pluperfect)
To take this quiz you will need to:
1. Go to www.spanish.com lesson 102. Past Perfect (Pluperfect)"
The past perfect is formed by combining the auxiliary verb “had” with the past participle. This tense is also known as Pluperfect.
I had studied.
He had written a letter to María.
We had been stranded for six days.
Because the past perfect (pluperfect) is a compound tense, two verbs are required: the main verb and the auxiliary verb.
I had studied.
(main verb: studied ; auxiliary verb: had)
He had written a letter to María.
(main verb: written ; auxiliary verb: had)
We had been stranded for six days.
(main verb: been ; auxiliary verb: had)
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
habías
había
habíamos
habíais
habían
You have already learned in a previous lesson that the past participle is formed by dropping the infinitive ending and adding either -ado or -ido. Remember, some past participles are irregular.
2. Take notes in your notebook or print out the "Pluperfect tense: all verbs" and fill it in.
You may take the quiz 2x.
