    This document discusses the formation and use of the perfect and pluperfect subjunctive tenses in Spanish. It explains that the perfect subjunctive is formed using the present subjunctive form of "haber" plus the past participle, while the pluperfect subjunctive uses the imperfect subjunctive of "haber" plus the past participle. Examples are provided to illustrate replacing the indicative perfect and pluperfect tenses with the subjunctive when there is uncertainty. The key is that the subjunctive replaces the indicative tense that would be used if there was certainty in the sentence.

    pluscuamperfec
    to

    El subjuntivo
    perfecto

    FORMATION:
    Take the present subjunctive form of haber
    Haya, hayas, haya, hyamos, hayis, hayan
    Haya + past participle = perfect subjunctive
    E.g past participle of MORIR
    Muerto
    Haya muertohe/she has died
    (but because it is in the subjunctive, there is
    some doubt about this)

    El subjuntivo
    perfecto

    No es cierto que haya descubierto

    It is not certain that he/she/it had been discovered

    It is probable that we have arrived late


    Es probable que hyamos llegado tarde

    It is not true that he has robbed the bank


    No es verdad que haya robado el banco

    Deseo que otras asignaturas hayan sido tan


    interesante como espaol
    I wish that other subjects had been as interesting as
    Spanish

    El subjuntivo
    pluscuamperfecto
    FORMATION:
    Take the imperfect subjunctive of haber
    Hubiera, hubieras, hubiera, hubiramos, hubierais,
    hubieran
    Hubiera + past participle =pluperfect subjunctive
    E.g past participle of ROMPER
    Roto
    Hubiera rotoit was broken (before something else
    happened)
    (but because this is the subjunctive, it is uncertain)

    El subjuntivo
    pluscamperfecto
    No pienso que Espaol hubiera sido tan
    interesante antes de lleg seorita
    Morris
    I dont think that Spanish was as interesting
    before Miss Morris arrived

    I dont think we had received your


    message before I had left
    No creo que hubieramos recibido tu mensaje
    antes de he salido

    How do you know which


    one to use???
    The perfect and pluperfect subjunctives are used in the
    same was as their respective tenses.
    A good way to decide is:
    1you want to say it is not certain that he was dead. If
    you took away the uncertainty, the sentence would read
    it is certain that he was dead which would be
    Es cierto que ha muerto
    So, if you put the uncertainty back into the sentence,
    then you would need the perfect subjunctive to replace
    the perfect tense.
    So now the sentence would read no es cierto que haya
    muerto
    And the same applies to the pluperfect subjunctive.

    Para concluir..
    The perfect and pluperfect subjunctives
    are used to replace the perfect and
    pluperfect tenses when there is
    uncertainty in the sentence.
    These are the easiest subjunctives to use
