#1 Condicional Perfecto is a compound tense (Spanish: compuesto). It means that all of its inflected 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.
#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’ll focus on the parts derived from elegir 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 start by splitting the infinitive into a stem and an ending. It’s very easy to do – simply remove two letters from the end of the infinitive to get the ending – one of -ar, -er, -ir. What’s left is the stem.
#5 So for our verb:
  • the stem is: eleg-
  • and the ending is: -ir
#6 Based on the ending of the infinitive we can tell that elegir belongs to the -ir verb group. This group, in turn, uses the -ido ending in its Participio form. Putting all that together, our Participio is: elegido.

And 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 simply take the first person singular form of haber conjugated in Condicional Simple de Indicativo, which is habría. To that we add the Participio elegido to get habría elegido:
  • yo habría elegido
#8 Next, to create the form for the second person singular, we again need to take the second person singular form of haber from the Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense, and that is habrías. And to this auxiliary verb we add the Participio elegido (so the exact same word as previously) to get habrías elegido:
  • tú habrías elegido
#9 Similarly, if we want to create the form for the third person singular, we conjugate haber in the Condicional tense and we utilize 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 elegido:
  • él habría elegido
  • ella habría elegido
  • usted habría elegido
#10 The first person plural has the form habríamos elegido. 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 elegir: elegido to get habríamos elegido:
  • nosotros habríamos elegido
  • nosotras habríamos elegido
#11 Again, let’s do the same for the second person plural. We have to get the inflected form of the verb haber in the Condicional Simple de Indicativo tense, second person plural, and that’s habríais. Next, we take our unchanged Participio, we join them, and we get habríais elegido:
  • vosotros habríais elegido
  • vosotras habríais elegido
#12 And finally, the last grammatical person on the list, the third person plural, has the form habrían elegido. 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 elegir again (elegido) to get habrían elegido:
  • ellos habrían elegido
  • ellas habrían elegido
  • ustedes habrían elegido
