#1 Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto is a compound tense (Spanish: compuesto). It means that all of its conjugated forms consist of two words. In Spanish language, there are also simple tenses, where each inflected verb form is one word long.
In a compound tense the endings of the auxiliary verb change, not the endings of the main verb, which is the case in Spanish simple tenses.

#2 In the compound tenses, every person’s form consist of two parts:
- A conjugated form of the auxiliary verb haber. In case of the Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto de Subjuntivo tense, we use the Presente de Subjuntivo (Present Subjunctive) conjugation of haber
- Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
#3 See the conjugation charts to learn how to conjugate the auxiliary verb haber. That’s a separate topic, so for brevity we are focusing on the parts derived from caber only here.
#4 In order to create the Participio form, we need a stem and an ending. We use the stem of the infinitive of the main verb, and a single ending, which depends on the conjugation group of the main verb. So we have to start by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s easy to do – simply remove two letters from the end of the infinitive form and you have the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem.
#5 So in case of our verb:
- the stem is: cab-
- and the ending is: -er
#6 Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that caber belongs to the -er verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ido ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: cabido.
Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s move on with creating the final conjugation forms.
Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, let’s move on with creating the final conjugation forms.
#7 In order to create the first person singular form, we need to take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Presente de Subjuntivo, which is haya. To that we add the Participio cabido to get haya cabido:
- yo haya cabido
#8 Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again simply take the second person singular form of haber from the Presente de Subjuntivo tense, and that is hayas. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio cabido (so the exact same word as previously) to get hayas cabido:
- tú hayas cabido
#9 Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Presente tense and we utilize the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely haya. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get haya cabido:
- él haya cabido
- ella haya cabido
- usted haya cabido
#10 The first person plural has the form hayamos cabido. It’s created by following the same logic as in the other persons. We first take the form of the first person plural from haber conjugation in the Presente de Subjuntivo tense: hayamos. Second, and to this word we again add the Participio of caber: cabido to get hayamos cabido:
- nosotros hayamos cabido
- nosotras hayamos cabido
#11 Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We have to get the conjugated form of the verb haber in the Presente de Subjuntivo tense, second person plural, and it is hayáis. Next, we take our unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get hayáis cabido:
- vosotros hayáis cabido
- vosotras hayáis cabido
#12 And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form hayan cabido. We create it in the exact same manner as in all the other grammatical persons. We need the third person plural of haber first, from its Presente conjugation. It is hayan. We add the Participio of caber again (cabido) to get hayan cabido:
- ellos hayan cabido
- ellas hayan cabido
- ustedes hayan cabido
