Title: El PLUSCUAMPERFECTO


1
El PLUSCUAMPERFECTO
  • In English we form the PAST perfect (pluperfect)
    tense by combining had with the past participle
    of a verb.
  • USE To refer to an action that preceded another
    action in the past (occurred before another
    action in the past).

Por ejemplo
  • He had seen New York when he planned his trip
  • I had eaten the food when my mom arrived
  • I had already broken the window when the neighbor
    arrived
  • You hadnt studied when you found out you had a
    test

3
The Past Participle of a Verb
  • You have already learned to form the past
    participle of a verb in Spanish by adding
  • ado to the stem of ar verbs
  • You add
  • ido to the stem of most er and ir verbs.

4
To form the Past-Perfect Tense In Spanish
  • Combine the past participle
  • With the imperfect tense of the verb haber

Spanish vs. English
  • We generally use the Spanish pluscuamperfecto in
    the same way we use its English equivalent.

NOTICE !!! ojo!
  • When the past participle is used with any forms
    of haber, the final o never changes
  • Ricardo había grabado su película favorita.
  • Ricardo HAD TAPED
  • Sus hermanos habían grabado una telenovela.
  • His sisters HAD TAPED
  • Sus hermanas habían grabado

NOTICE !!! ojo!
  • Certain verbs that have a double vowel in the
    infinitive form (except those with the double
    vowel ui) require an accent mark on the í in the
    past participle. For example
  • Caer ? caído
  • Leer ? leído
  • Oír ? oído
  • Creer ? creído
