#1 Condicional Perfecto 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.
A compound tense is indicated by the ending of the auxiliary verb, not by the ending of the main verb, which is the case in Spanish simple tenses.
A compound tense is indicated by the ending of the auxiliary verb, not by the ending 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 Condicional Perfecto de Indicativo tense, we use the Condicional Simple de Indicativo (Conditional) conjugation of haber
- Past Participle, which is always the same in every compound tense for a given verb
#3 Refer to the conjugation charts and this haber conjugation lesson 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 cocinar only in this lesson.
#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 begin by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s really 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 the verb cocinar it’s easy to see that:
- the stem is: cocin-
- and the ending is: -ar
#6 Based on the ending of the infinitive we can recognize that cocinar belongs to the -ar verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ado ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: cocinado.
Now, as we understand how both parts used by this tense are created separately, we can 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 Condicional Simple de Indicativo, which is habría. And to that we add the Participio cocinado to get habría cocinado:
- yo habría cocinado
#8 Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again simply take the second person singular form of haber from the Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense, and that is habrías. To this auxiliary verb we add the Participio cocinado (so the exact same word as previously) to get habrías cocinado:
- tú habrías cocinado
#9 Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Condicional tense and we use the corresponding person’s form (third person singular), namely habría. Then we also take the same Participio as for all other persons, and putting them together we get habría cocinado:
- él habría cocinado
- ella habría cocinado
- usted habría cocinado
#10 The first person plural has the form habríamos cocinado. 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 Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense: habríamos. Second, to this word we again add the Participio of cocinar: cocinado to get habríamos cocinado:
- nosotros habríamos cocinado
- nosotras habríamos cocinado
#11 Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We need to get the conjugated form of the verb haber in the Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense, second person plural, and it’s habríais. Next, we take our unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get habríais cocinado:
- vosotros habríais cocinado
- vosotras habríais cocinado
#12 And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form habrían cocinado. 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 Condicional conjugation. It is habrían. We add the Participio of cocinar again (cocinado) to get habrían cocinado:
- ellos habrían cocinado
- ellas habrían cocinado
- ustedes habrían cocinado
